“Kathy is such a gem!!! Most importantly my critters love her and the love is reciprocated! She is so thoughtful….after staying at our nest and observing my love of dragonflies she found a sweet little dragonfly bag and filled it with treasures! So thankful for her! 💚🐾🐾”
“I can't thank Aja enough for watching my 2 crazy beagles! She spent the weekend at the house, sending me updates. When we arrived back from home it's like she was never there! She was very respectful to my home. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! The dogs loved her, we love her!”
About: Hi! 🤗 thanks for checking me out! I have a ton of experience with animals! I have experience in animal hospitals and doggy daycares alike 😃 Taking care of animals is where my heart is. I’ve always had multiple animals at a time. CPR and trauma experienced. I’m available all the time currently! Which means longer walks, play in the yard, or cuddles! I walk dogs full time so don’t be shy! I can’t watch anyone in my apartment, but I can come to your home or take them out and about! My attitude changes with each animal as I learn them. Most dogs I’m pretty playful with and have a lot of high energy play, some like to just sit next to a warm body on the couch and I can do that too.
“Carissa took such good care of our fur baby when we were gone for 5+ days on vacation. We hate leaving her and she normally travels with us so it was hard. Carissa sent timely updates and left the house spotless, I would highly recommend her to anyone. 6 out of 5 stars if I could leave that review. Ask her about her pet portraits, they are amazing and she should be making that an option as part of her services :)”
“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”
“Danielle is wonderful! It was so nice being able to enjoy my weekend away knowing my dogs are loved and cared for. One of my dogs is shy and took to her almost immediately! So glad to have found her, highly recommend!”
“Ainsley did an awesome job with our 2 dogs! We will definitely be having her watch them again soon! She not only did a great job with the boys but the house was also spotless when we got home which is always the best! 12/10 recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I am glad it was with Kati!!! Kati was great with our Bennie Jet! She was sure to keep us updated consistently. Would 10/10 recommend anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
“Victoria was awesome. Great communication and she was able to accommodate a special request. My pup was sad when she left, and he’s not very trusting of anyone, so that’s a good sign.”
“Jessica was attentive, conscientious, and supportive of a pet owners need to be aware of how their fur baby is doing while they’re away the house was spotless. Everything was in order. I highly recommend her. I plan to use it for every trip I book thank you Jessica' Diddleman loved having you care for him”
“Brittany is THE BEST sitter ever. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that all the animals are not just cared for, but adored. Every time we have had her she's gone the extra mile doing little things like cleaning a cage, giving them an extra brushing, doing an extra walk, whatever it takes to give the animals the best experience. They all love her and we do too. Cannot recommend enough!”
“GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH SKYLER! She home sat for us for a week and cared for our two dogs and bird. She did a phenomenal job with communication and giving them all the love and care that they are used to. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Skyler to anyone in need of a caring, considerate and responsible house sitter or anyone just looking to make sure their pets are well loved while away. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“I would recommend her to anyone. One of my dogs doesn’t not warm up to strangers very easily. She tried her best to make him comfortable around her. She took time out of her own life to meet up with us twice to try and accommodate my stress-filled dog. I’m sure caring for him was just as stressful but I’m so thankful for her efforts.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them since I was little! I’ve helped my mom with a rescue in the past, so I’m used to caring for multiple small or large dogs at once. I also have experience caring for my cat who I adopted when I was 5, two birds I used to own, fish, and a bunny! I have experience dealing with puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs. I’m currently very available, so please reach out with any days you might need my help! I do have a cat of my own at home, so if you need me to stay at your home I will need to leave in the mornings/night to feed her. I have two very friendly Australian shepherds at home! I have a fenced in yard, and lots of toys and treats! When caring for a pet at your home, I will follow any house rules and show your pet lots of love.
“Lily did a wonderful job sitting for my Maize and a friend’s Cooper. They have two distinctly different personalities and Lily was able to make them both comfortable. She sent me pictures daily, which I really appreciated. She also left the house in perfect order. I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend Lily!”
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my Goomba for me while we were on vacation! She arrived promptly on time and was very communicative. Goomba didn’t even know I was gone until I got back. She was very accommodating and responded promptly to all messages. If you need pet care in Flint, call Brooklyn!”
About: I absolutely adore spending time with dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while their families are away. Whether it’s energetic daily walks, playful park adventures, or calm drop-ins with plenty of belly rubs and treats, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. With my flexible schedule as an Audiologist Assistant and Pilates instructor-in-training, I’m often available for morning, midday, or evening walks and can accommodate last-minute needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (including seniors and high-energy pups), and I’m comfortable with basic medications, special diets, or following any custom routines your dog needs. Pet parents can count on me for frequent photo and text updates so you never miss a moment. Safety is my top priority — I always use secure leashes, check for hazards, and follow your instructions to the letter. I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and believe in treating every pet like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, enthusiastic dog walker who will give your furry friend the best care possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup!
About: I have been trusted with pet care for friends and family many times over the last few years which have included daily walks, regular feeding, potty breaks, play time, and company! While I'm new to professional pet care, I am familiar with providing reliable care to furry friends. I am currently a full-time student taking online classes this summer, meaning I have plenty of time to hang out with pets! When in-person classes start again in the fall, I am local, so pet care still will not be a problem. I've cared for dogs for family and friends over the years and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, spending quality time with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. I've helped care for my grandpa's two dogs, regularly looked after my boyfriend's family dog, and cared for my aunt and uncle's dog while they traveled by handling the daily routine before and after work. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Fenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Fenton on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,040 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Fenton. 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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
