Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.

Karen was so great with both my pets— my dog (Cane Corso) and my Persian cat! She was so responsive, attentive, and followed all my (read: copious) notes. I can tell she also worked on obedience- my Benny was better with his commands after my trip than before! Even more telling, I didn’t feel the need to check my household cameras to check on them the entire time, because she sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. She has such fantastic energy, is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and most of all, she made sure my pets had fun and stuck to their routine while I was gone. My home was even tidier than when I left too- a very respectful guest. I’ll definitely be asking her to house-sit again! Having someone you truly trust with your pets is priceless. We love Karen. ❤️

Taylor was amazing! We are new to pet-sitting and have pups that have only ever been watched by friends and family. She was very professional in all interactions from first text to first meeting with us and our dogs, to being able to do a second meet and greet right before our planned vacation to get some alone time with our grumpy older dog. She sent us photos, videos and daily updates. And everything went awesome! House was taken care of, she even watered our plants. I would 100% recommend her and she will be our go-to pet-sitter for future trips.

Alyson was fantastic. Took great care of Bailey and truly cared for her as if she were hers. With a hysterical nickname - you could tell she understood her personality as we do. That level of kindness goes a long way. So greatly appreciated.

Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)

About: My first sitting job was at 14 for the neighbors across the street, during a month long trip. I have been sitting for friends on and off for the last 4 years, dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience with senior cats and cats who are on medication. I am currently an independent contractor, working as a performer. When in a show, weekends would be difficult, and at most a show run lasts 5 weeks. I also bartend at a theater, those shifts are only 4 hours, and are also only during the run of a show. My schedule always remains very flexible. Growing up I was the designated dog walker in the family, he was a very excitable and friendly dog so I have a lot of experience with dogs who pull on their leashes. I also was responsible for baths. I also have some experience with multiple dogs at a time, of all sorts of personalities. I have owned at least one cat since I was 6, I'm the girl who seeks out the cat at the party to hang out.

She managed them all so well, no accidents in the house, and gave them love as if they were her own. I’m happy to have found someone reliable and patient to be with our pups when we go out of town:)

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 20 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Friends and family have long trusted me as their go-to pet sitter and dog walker whenever they travel, knowing their pets will be treated like family in my care. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including training and rehabilitating aggressive rescue dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications such as pills, ear drops, and topical treatments, and I have firsthand experience caring for elderly dogs or dogs with complex medical needs. My beloved dog, Ralphie, bravely battled cancer for over a year, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of compassionate care during difficult times. My home features a secure, grassy fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. Since Ralphie passed away last year after a second battle with cancer, I have all the space, supplies, and dog-friendly setup needed to comfortably care for visiting pets, but no pets of my own. This allows me to focus completely on the dogs in my care. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am currently between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, companionship, potty breaks, medication administration, and lots of love and attention. I offer doggy daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and can accommodate boarding for up to two dogs at a time on a case-by-case basis to ensure every pet receives personalized care. When caring for dogs in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I have a secure, grassy fenced-in backyard for supervised play and exercise, and there are no children in the home—just two responsible adults—so visiting dogs can enjoy a quieter, lower-stress environment. Because I do not currently have any pets of my own, dogs in my care receive my full attention and don’t have to adjust to sharing space with resident animals. For daycare and boarding, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, plenty of affection, and close supervision. I am experienced with administering medications, including pills, ear drops, and topical treatments, and I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents. I also limit boarding to a small number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized care and attention. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and work to make the experience as seamless as possible. Whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, maintaining training practices, providing exercise, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that consistency helps dogs feel secure while their owners are away, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates, photos, and check-ins. 🐾

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. Unfortunately, my family dog recently passed away, which only deepened my appreciation for the love and companionship pets bring into our lives. I recently graduated from Florida State University and regularly volunteered at Champs Chance Rescue in Tallahassee, where I helped care for dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also fostered a dog this past semester, which gave me valuable experience providing consistent care and helping a dog adjust to a new environment. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As a nursing student, I'm responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, and I treat every dog like they're my own. I’m currently focused on studying for my NCLEX to become a Registered Nurse, so I spend the majority of my time studying from home. I also work part-time as a Pilates instructor, which is typically only a 6–10 hour commitment each week, and my schedule is very flexible. Because of this, I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, and playtime for your pet throughout the day. My home is a safe and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable. I have a pet ferret who stays in his cage, and I am able to crate your dog if needed. I also have a screened-in pool area and live in a gated neighborhood with lots of green space that's perfect for walks. Additionally, there is a local dog park just a short drive away for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and socialization.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years, including my own three pups. One of my dogs lived to 17, so I have plenty of senior dog care experience. I’ve taken all my dogs through puppy training classes, where both owners and puppies learn proper training techniques. I’ve also provided dog walking and sitting services for neighbors, giving me a well-rounded understanding of various dog personalities and needs. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve! As a part time cast member at Walt Disney World, I have a flexible schedule. My work week consists of short, minimal shifts, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I live in the area, so I'm available for local dog walking and sitting, and I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs around my schedule during the week. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m committed to providing care that aligns with your preferences, whether it’s following a specific feeding schedule, maintaining their exercise routine, or offering lots of playtime. I’ll ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own home while providing companionship and attention. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I’m open to following your instructions to create a loving environment just as you would.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both large and small pets. I was raised with large breeds like German Shepherds and Cane Corsos, as well as small dogs such as Maltipoos, giving me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience with a variety of pet ages, from helping raise puppies to caring for elder dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique routines and personalities. I’ve completed drop-ins, walks, full day stays and overnight stays as well as extended stays lasting over a week for family and friends— I’d love to do the same for you! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing calm and reliable companionship, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. My top priority is to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work from home, which means I’m available to care for pets every day of the week and can offer a flexible schedule to fit your needs. Whether it’s daily walks, midday visits, or extended care while you’re away, I can provide consistent attention and companionship for your pets. I also make sure to give regular updates and pictures for you to enjoy! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience following regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep your home tidy, secure, and well-maintained, so you can have peace of mind and return to happy pets and a cared-for space.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am very comfortable with daily pet care routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them attention! I have also cared for dogs and cats for family friends while they were away. I am back home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of practices and workouts which are usually from around 9 AM-2 PM. Other than that, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care! In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention!

Alyson was fantastic with our dogs. She stayed at the house and watched them. She kept us informed on how they were doing and sent pictures and videos. Normally, my dogs don’t eat well when we aren’t home, but they did well for Alyson. She went above and beyond by dealing with a power outage in our garage. She also checked our mailbox and brought our trash out on the trash days. We would highly recommended using Alyson. We definitely plan to reach out next time we need care for our dogs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Butter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Butter on Rover is $62.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Butter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Butter walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Butter maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Butter choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Butter. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
