“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!

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I was able to enjoy my weekend away and know my dogs were completely cared for! They were happy when we got home, my home looked fantastic . I can’t wait to have Heather housesit for my pups again!”
About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with over two years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. As a pet owner to three dogs and two cats, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members with someone else. That’s why I strive to provide the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. My veterinary background allows me to confidently recognize signs of illness, administer medications when needed, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available Monday through Friday before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, making me a great option for early morning visits, evening walks, or overnight care. On weekends, I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, or extended care. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My pets are a huge part of my family, and I care for them with plenty of love, attention, and enrichment every day. Whether we’re playing, going for hikes, swimming, exploring new places, or spending time socializing, I make sure they stay happy, healthy, and fulfilled. I believe every pet is unique, and I will provide the same level of care and affection to your furry family member. Whether your pet enjoys curling up for cuddles on the couch or prefers long walks, playtime, and other high-energy activities, I’ll tailor their care to their individual personality and needs. Most importantly, I will always respect your wishes, your pet’s routine, and your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets. I grew up around my family’s dog grooming business, where I’ve helped care for and handle dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic for a year, which gave me even more experience around animals and helped me learn how to recognize their different needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic grooming, and giving pets lots of attention and love. Being around animals in both grooming and veterinary settings has taught me how important patience, safety, and making pets feel comfortable are. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own while they’re in my care! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I'm a part time server so I work short shifts anf have plenty if free time. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. With my experience working around animals in a veterinary clinic and my family’s grooming business, I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities and needs. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.

“Sean is WONDERFUL. He cared for my house and pets while I was out of the country. With limited ability to communicate, I had no worries about anything! Sean took detailed caretaker notes and followed them meticulously. He communicated pictures daily. And his love of animals is real - my pets loved him. He’s perfect! All went great and will definitely recommend him and use his services in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Como
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 324 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 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.
