“Our dog Maggie was so relaxed when we came home, she obviously felt very safe with Stephanie as her sitter, and that’s saying something for this rescue dog 😍 Thank you!”
“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 fantastic. I think Sophie did not want me to come back from my trip because she got along with Karen so much. Karen was extremely responsible. She walked and played with Sophie all the time. She also took great care of my house!”
“Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! 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:)”
“Alyson was amazing! Our boys were so happy and had so much fun with her! There is nothing better when traveling than knowing your dogs are safe and happy at home. We came home to happy wagging tails and a clean home! We hope Alyson is available every time we go out of time.”
“We were able to go on vacation without worry because our animals were in good hands. Nathan took excellent care of them. When our dog became ill, he knew just what to do. It was a comfort to know our Charlie was taken care of.”
“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.”
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
“Ariela is a total gem, best sitter we’ve ever had! She cared for our dog Belinha at our home for five days while we were out of the country. Our dog has a history of separation anxiety, so we’re always nervous about leaving her, but from the moment we met Ariela, we felt confident she was in good hands. Throughout the stay, Ariela was a fantastic communicator. She sent us regular updates with photos that truly put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless house. It’s clear that Ariela genuinely loves and understands the pets she cares for. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be a repeat customer!”
“Jared was great with our pets. He did a last minute meet and greet when our sitter had a emergency and couldn't sit. He asked good questions about our pets needs and the dogs were comfortable around him. We received daily updates with pictures. We would highly recommend him.”
“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 :)”
“I can’t say enough about Nick. He is the standard of excellence. I know my pups are always safe and happy while with him. He is very communicative from his daily updates with witty commentary and pics to answering questions. By the end of his stay with our dogs, he begins to feel more like a friend. We’ve had him watch our dogs twice and will base future vacations off his availability because of how much we appreciate his services.”
“Jonathan did an incredible job as always! Great communication with pictures each day, and the recaps he sends reassures you that your pets are in great hands. House was in impeccable shape when we returned and we will continue to use his pet services again!”
“Tiffany was able to help us out last minute when other pet sitting plans fell through and we’re so happy to have found her! She was great with our two pups and sent us pics throughout her stay. She was great at communicating with us before and during and we came home to a clean home and happy pups. We will definitely use her again! Thank you Tiffany for your professionalism and for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Kaitlyn took great care of my dog when I was away. She made sure she had plenty of walks and playtime. My dog seemed very happy when I came home to a clean house. Will be using her again!”
“I left my cats and dog in Sarah's care while I dropped off my son at college in Texas. It was a stressful trip, but I knew eveyone here was in great hands. I got daily updates from Sarah, who stayed in my home, complete with pictures. She went above and beyond. My dog usually seems stressed when I get home from a long trip. She was super excited to see me, but did not seemed stressed out at all. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!”
“Megan was wonderful with our two small dogs and stayed with them in our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates, was very friendly, and treated our dogs like they were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands and would definitely book her again!”
“Alexis took great care of our two senior cats while housesitting — including caring for my houseplants. Our cats are very affectionate and can be very needy, so we were happy to receive regular updates with photos showing them being loved on. I highly recommend her services and we will be happy to book her again for our future travel.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Butter
Yanran cared for my four cats and one dog and we were very pleased with her care. I got photos and updates daily, the pets were all happy when we returned, she let the dog sleep in bed with her as he was obviously missing his family, and the house was clean when we returned. We greatly appreciated her care and will be booking her again soon!
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.
Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! 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:)
Meredith was absolutely wonderful professional, attentive, and kind throughout the entire experience. She carefully listened to and followed all instructions regarding our elderly dogs, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated her care and attention to detail. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Tathyana was amazing while watching our two golden girls (especially since one is missing a leg)! She was very responsive and kept me up to date on her schedule and the pups! We're so grateful for the time she spent watching our dogs; they LOVED Tathyana. She left the house spotless and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter!

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.
