“Cailin was a wonderful sitter. We were on vacation and wanted to do a day trip and couldn’t take our dog. This was our first time using Rover so of course we were nervous. She came out to meet us the week before our day trip & we liked her immediately. While we were gone, she texted us every couple of hours to let us know everything was good. we were a half an hour late getting home and she was fine with that. Very flexible .Can’t say enough about how great she was with our dog I would definitely use her again!”
“Christiana was so personable and took such great care of our pups and our home while my husband and I had a night away! Her experience with animals was important as I’ve got a dog with diabetes and takes daily injections as well as other meds. I’ll definitely hire her again in the future if I need a dog sitter! She was amazing!”
About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.
“We could not be happier with the house sitting and pet sitting Mari provided for almost a week over the Christmas holiday. She was very communicative , caring, and just took the best care of our babies. We could not be more pleased and o forward to having Marie help next chance!”
“Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard! She provided wound care on his foot and gave daily medications. Heather truly cared for our dog as if he was her own! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I ran a pet nutritional building for two years, I also was in charge of feline foster care, as well as walking dogs in our neighborhood in Pennsylvania. I have a soft spot for animals of all kinds. Daytime hours are preferred, willing to do nights for comeback clients. I’m located in lancaster so depends on how far the drive. Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.

“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”
“I hired Anver to take care of my 5 year old maltipoo for 4 days while I was visiting family in PA. I had been very impressed with her reviews on Rover, and I knew from the moment we did the meet and greet that she was the one for Tucker! He bonded with her instantly, and her kind personality made him feel very comfortable. He was very upset when she had to leave that day lol!! I left her a long note since this was the 1st time I had left my fur baby with someone from Rover, and she followed it without any problem. She does work part time, but she was able to work her schedule around him. If she was getting to my house a little later than expected, she always let me know. She sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I never worried how he was doing. He slept with her and he looked so content; he doesn't even do that with me!! She is very respectful and sweet. I was so impressed with how gentle she was with Tucker. He looked happy and healthy when I came home; I was almost worried he would be sad it was me and not her!! She brought in the mail and stripped the guest room bed! She washed all her dishes and I found the house in the same condition I left it. She is studying to be a vetinary technician, and I think she will be an excellent one!! I am so impressed with her that I hired her again for a trip I'm taking in 2 weeks!! I would highly recommend Amber to stay with your pets. She is a very caring and responsible pet sitter and I know you will not be disappointed!!”
“Anne was able to help me out while I was in a pinch, had a sitter bail out on day 2 of 6 of my vacation and she was able to take care of the dog with no headache for me. She sent picture updates of the dog and also took great care of him. I highly recommend this sitter! Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I treat every fur baby like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles (if they’re into that!). I’m super patient, reliable, and great at picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also have a background in childcare, working in multiple child care settings and holding a CDA (Child Development Associate), so I’m naturally nurturing, attentive, and big on routines and safety. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic pup, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I only work about 3 days a week from 9–5, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give pets the attention they deserve. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean space with a fenced yard for playtime, plus lots of love and attention. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Shih Tzu who loves other animals and makes a great companion. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine
“Diane is so wonderful! Leaving my fur kids is always stressful for me, but Diane made me feel so comfortable. My babies loved her and I will be traveling more since I found Diane!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job staying with our dog while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She consistently sent photos and updates. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy pup. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. :-)”
“Jacksonville, we did you a massive solid by giving this site another chance and running into Tayler. To be honest, I kind of hate writing this because I know she’s going to get booked up, but she is simply too good not to praise. After a string of terrible experiences with other sitters on Rover (ranging from no-shows to theft and all the in-betweens), we were ready to give up on this site entirely. Then came Tayler. What an immediate game-changer! From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our fur babies were absolutely drawn to her positive energy. We have quite the wild pack...from an overactive puppy, a sweet, lazy senior dog, and a sassy but loveable cat. Tayler accepted the challenge and handled them all in a way only a seasoned expert could. She watched them for a few days while we were out of town and did great. She followed every instruction to the letter, kept us updated with photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Most importantly, our pets were incredibly happy and well-cared for when we got home. Tayler is the absolute best! Will book again. Please share her time...it's only fair since we found her and spread the word! 😂”
“Leanne is very responsive and most important great with my baby. TedE hasn't had many people that I allow to look after him, but I would 100% have Leanne stay with again and recommend her. Within minutes TedE felt comfortable enough to roll over and let her rub his belly. When I returned home he was content and not anxious at all. She sent pictures which eased my nerves and let me see he was doing just fine. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you Leanne!”

Never leave dog home alone for more than 4 hrs if working. Also, have family member home during most days. I have a huge fenced in yard and visit the local dog park often. I have a four year old high energy playful dog and one patience laid back dog (7 yrs old). Boarding, daycare, drop ins, and walks.

There may be additional dogs on the property. I will not sit more than four pets because I want to ensure I will be able to give each pet one on one attention. It may be at times that I will not have other dogs on the property. Please express your preference beforehand. I will not accept dogs with a bite history. If you have a dog that struggle to get along with others, please advise. I may be able to accommodate him/her.

I was born and raised here in DeLand and have recently returned back to live in my hometown. I am a mature, experienced, educated and responsible woman. I love all creatures, big and small and love to go on long walks and adventures.
“Darci is one of a kind — truly a top-notch sitter. My kitties enjoyed her company, and I’m sure they’ll miss her. We are so glad we found her on Rover. She followed directions perfectly and didn’t need to ask any questions. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in such capable and caring hands.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Como
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Como. 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 Como 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 Como 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 Como 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 Como. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
