“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.”
“Nova is a typical Shiba and they’re not the easiest dogs or for those with little dog experience. Alyson did a great job watching Nova and my home for a week while I was gone. There were definitely challenges and she found ways to overcome them. She provided daily updates and photos of Nova which gave us a sense of peace while we were gone. The home was clean when I got back and Nova was happy.”
“My dog Penny is diabetic and I get worried leaving her any time I go on a trip , but Sarah was so kind , professional , and incredibly attentive to Penny. She warmed up to Sarah really quickly and I received the cutest updates / photos during my entire trip. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Taylor was tremendous for us during our vacation! She took great care of our dog and cat and took care of our house too! She was super caring and considerate of our pets and their senior status. While away, we did not worry one bit, which was such a wonderful relief! Taylor is tops!”
“Ava did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs! Her calm approach was perfect and we appreciated her flexibility. I would highly recommend Ava, she’s a natural with animals. Thank you Ava!”
About: I love dogs, I can talk about my own baby dog for days. I’m bilingual (Spanish and English), I love walking and I love pets. Mix them together and I’m there. I’m probably available when you need me so you can trust that I will take good care of your pets when you are not able :) I am a freelance photographer, so I work from home and manage my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as needed :) I can walk pets, come and feed them or play with them or I can pet sit in your home. Unfortunately not available to bring pets to my own home
About: Until just recently I have loved and cared for my own big fur babies (sadly just losing my 12 year old boxer)…at the same time as both walking and home-sitting friends and neighbors pets. Thankfully my big boy would tolerate ANY other animal! Now it’s just me!! In desperate need of some fur-baby loving of any size :) I am semi-retired and just working a little from home so I am currently free and able at any time for whatever requirements may be necessary. I do have a large fenced in patio and back on to a conservation area for quick potty breaks. But I love to walk…as far and as often as needed…particularly early mornings and evenings. I would be comfortable staying at the owners home too and be prepared to maintain any schedule.

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.
About: You would never know but I used to be afraid of dogs as a child. After we added a golden retriever named Joe to our family, I've been obsessed with dogs ever since. He passed away 6 years ago now and has left me longing to care for pups. I spent the summer helping my sister with her dog sitting business up north and am looking to do occasional dog sitting in the Orlando area. I am a preschool teacher during the week so I would be available to dogsit on the weekends. Or during the week if the situation allows. I would show your pup lots of love and attention! I feel comfortable going on long walks, playing fetch and keeping the dog on his daily routine to manintain his comfort while his family are away.
About: I’m patient with older dogs and pups just learning, as well as those missing their people and are scared. Grand mom to 4 sweet puppers. Lifetime pet family, we have guinea pigs, hamsters and every kind of dog and cat. I always helped neighbors when the needed pet care as well as years of volunteer work in shelters. Pets are family. I am a retired teacher due to injury and have a home based business so my hours are flexible. With enough notice I will do my best to accommodate care needed. I am unable to care for other pets in my home, we have 7 cats. I will follow all instructions given to lovingly care for your pets at your home
“Mark has taken care of our dog several times and is always wonderful to work with. He sends lots of pictures and updates, and does a great job of keeping our older dog active and having fun while we're away!”
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always taken care of pets, I have had many cats and dogs myself and I can take care of one or more pets (even dogs and cats at the same time). I am a college student, that means that I can do my school work anywhere at any time, so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your pet in your house. I also work as a server, but the shifts are usually 4 to 5 hours long, so I would never be gone for more than 6 hours. I love to play with dogs and cats! I would definitely have as much fun as they would when caring for them. I can feed, and clean up after them with no problem.
“Danielle was great with the pups. They really seemed to enjoy her company and reacted well to her, especially our more nervous dog. She has great dog energy. She is top-notch and we will use her if she is available for our next trip.”
“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Perla is incredible as always! We had a last minute trip we needed to take to help some of our family. Within 24 hours she was able to watch Dixie for us. She treats our house with the utmost respect and takes care of w”
“Mackenna was amazing! She took such good care of our babies and sent great detailed updates and plenty of pictures. Both of our puppies are rescues and can be a handful at times, especially our little Frenchie, but Mackenna was so sweet with them and didn’t mind their quirks. She took excellent care of our home and even brought her own upholstery cleaner when our little devil peed on the bed, after being out multiple times 🙄 (frenchies doing frenchie stuff). She truly went above and beyond. Very highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Butter
My dog Penny is diabetic and I get worried leaving her any time I go on a trip , but Sarah was so kind , professional , and incredibly attentive to Penny. She warmed up to Sarah really quickly and I received the cutest updates / photos during my entire trip. Couldn't recommend her enough!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we met her at our meet and greet, her calm, gentle demeanor made us feel she would be a great fit for our pups—and she absolutely was! Both dogs loved her, which says a lot because our first dog is very picky about who she lets pet her. We accidentally locked a bedroom door, and she was incredibly patient and accommodating while letting the locksmith in. Even with our awkwardness, she made us feel completely comfortable and never judged us! We’re so happy to have found someone we trust to care for our dogs and home. She’ll be our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth was amazing!!! She was a great communicator, providing frequent updates and photos of our pets while we were away. She was equally attentive and loving to our dog and our cats. I never worried one bit about their well being because I knew they were in great hands! We will be rebooking!
Michelle was Amazing. So great with our little pup. She was flexible and so accommodating. We were able to do the parks thanks to her accepting a last minute request! She sent us adorable updates. It is clear she loves animals and is so good with both the parents and the furbabies. Thank you, Michelle for helping us have a great vacation!
Ariella is simply the best! We have 5 furry friends and she treats them as if they are her own. I always have full confidence leaving our little family with her while we are away! One of our pups can be a little difficult/reactive and she handles him so well. Every time we come home our fur family is happy, our home is clean and we’re stress free! 😊
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!
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!
Our doggy enjoyed another wonderful booking with Liz! We always feel confident that we are leaving our dog in the very best care when we leave him with Liz. She is quick to respond, sends updates and pics, and is missed by our doggy when she leaves. We have already booked her again for next month and will continue to do so! Thank you, Liz!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Butter
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Butter is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $108 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,116 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
