“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”
“Our cat loved Ron! She is a handful and he did a great job of keeping her busy and happy. A real plus with Ron is that he is with your pet most of the day every day that you are gone.”
“Very thankful Veronica was able to come back and stay with Kelowna again when we had a last minute trip pop up! Awesome communication, great pics of our pup and we always feel very good knowing Kelowna is in good hands with her when we have to be away.”
“Donna was OUTSTANDING. She took such good care of our golden retrievers for the four days we were gone. She is a dog whisperer. They clearly felt her love. She was a fantastic communicator with us and an overall very kind person. I can’t say enough positive things about Donna! We hope to reserve her again.”
“Bridgette kept my cat company for four days and did a great job. Simba is normally very aloof and leery of strangers but even when Bridgette came over to meet us before my trip he was quite comfortable with her. During the stay, from the photos and notes Bridgette sent me, I could see that he warmed up to Bridgette immediately. A huge bonus was that Bridgette watered a few of my house plants and left my house exactly as I’d left it. The next time I travel I hope Bridgette will be available!”
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”
“100% the best pet sitter we have ever had. Restored my faith in rover. She loved my babies and took excellent care of them. They are needy and shy and medicine dependent and she handled it all like a pro”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, daily walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a senior pet who needs extra attention, or a shy cat who prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to fit each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime to ensure pets stay happy and comfortable. I am organized, dependable, and flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate different routines and special care instructions. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening play sessions, or overnight care, I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive the attention they deserve. I strive to maintain a routine that closely matches what pets are used to at home, helping them feel secure and stress-free. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and work to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where they can thrive.
“Trisha was a great dog and house sitter. Our two young dogs were happy to see us come home but it was clear that they had been well taken care of. They ate well, which shows that they weren't stressed about our absence. They had obviously had a lot of attention. I recommend Trish wholeheartedly for anyone else. Karen”
“Nikki did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs, Reuben and Frank! She was great with them, kept us updated with excellent communication, and sent us pictures while we were away, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy dogs and a clean, tidy house. We would absolutely recommend Nikki and would gladly have her watch Reuben and Frank again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of many ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable with the routines that come with good pet care: consistent feeding schedules, exercise, basic training reinforcement, and paying attention to changes in behavior that might mean a dog needs something. I have experience helping with puppy training basics life patience during walks, reinforcing commands, and keeping them mentally stimulated. I also understand that senior dogs sometimes need gentler exercise, more frequent bathroom breaks, and extra patience. In addition to dogs, I have experience working with animals in a farm environment, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to pay attention to an animal's needs and body language. Because of that background, I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable around animals with different temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to stay organized and consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a calm environment where they feel secure. In a client's home, I carefully follow the pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are feeling safe and happy. I respect my clients' homes and keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
About: Hello, I'm Amanda—a behavior specialist with a deep passion for working with children with autism. Alongside my professional role, I also run a business specializing in interior painting and light remodeling. With five wonderful kids—three young adults carving their paths, an animal-loving 18-year-old son, and a sweet, gentle 7-year-old daughter—family and community are at the heart of everything I do. Growing up surrounded by animals and spending summers on my grandparents' farm instilled a lifelong love for furry friends. That bond inspires my work today as I provide attentive, loving care for pets while their families are away. Whether it's supervising your beloved pup or ensuring all their needs are met, I take pride in being observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping them safe and happy at all times. In addition to being a great multitasker, I prioritize understanding the unique needs of every pet, bringing warmth and care into each interaction. I know leaving your cherished furbabies can be tough—that’s why my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and them. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! Feel free to message me with any questions or for more details. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and being part of their care. I am currently a caregiver for a family friend and so I am always home. I have full availability to step away anytime if your pup needs a walk or your pets need a drop in for food, exercise, or lovins. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 large fishtanks, and a handful of various reptiles (and growing). I have experience working at a wildlife rescue with all kinds of different animals.
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
About: I used to have three dogs since I was 10 years old and would help take care of them, as well as one other dog when I was 21 of my own that I would take care of, keep up with her appointments and made sure she was very loved. I usually get free around 3:30 to 4:30pm on weekdays, then I’m free for the rest of the day, I’m free fridays-Sunday all day When I use to have a dog of my own, I’d make sure to feed her and show her she was loved, would take her for her regular checkups.
About: I grew up in a household taking care of many different types of animals. Dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, caged birds, as well as livestock such as chickens, various fowl and goats. My dog walking and sitting experience includes caring many rescues since I was a small child. My calf demeanor and gentle presence works well with all breeds, and I have the patience and experience required to work with energetic and challenging animals. Understanding how dogs communicate and express various emotions is a key part of being a good caretaker. I am a touring bluegrass musician, but have plenty of home time. My schedule works great for folks that are looking for a dog walker while they are out of town or just need someone to help take some of the walking off your hands to free up time! Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am always available and responsive, and very easy to get ahold of at all times.

About: my grandma has 5-10 golden retrievers that i have helped her take care of for the past 10 years sometimes taking care of them while she is out of town. pet care fits into my daily routine because i have a cat although he is pretty low maintenance i still feed him and make sure he has water throughout the day. i don’t have a fenced yard but i can take your dog on a bike ride with me if he/she is getting to cooped up. i can also take to dog park if that’s alright with the owner.
“Liz was fantastic with the cats and their specific needs. She was very communicative and The house was very clean when I got back! I'll be booking with her when I go out of town again 100 %.”
About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Cavanaugh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 894 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Cavanaugh. 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 Cavanaugh 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 Cavanaugh 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 Cavanaugh 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.
