“Jeanne was outstanding👍 . we just finished our meet and greet to have her watch our pets during an upcoming trip planned to New York however, we had an emergency the same day that we needed to leave town for a couple of days to deal with her family issue. She was very adaptive and she Transitioned to perform on short notice and she did an outstanding job at keeping us in the loop with pictures and text during the few days we were gone. We were super grateful for having her and feel she’s not very professional but she’s a great sitter and to.”
“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Wenlin helped us so much while watching our dog Peppercorn! She was flexible and responsible when we were out of the country and had to coordinate with several other caregivers. We were grateful to have her help, she went above and beyond!”
“Highly recommend Sean as a house sitter and pet care taker extraordinaire. ! We call ourselves the zoo. 2 labs ( 6years and 1 1/2 yo ) and a 7 year old cat named Tucker. He played with them, took them on walks and actually got Tucker who is stand offish to bond with him. House was impeccable, he sent videos and updates and genuinely was an amazing sitter. He brought his dog over for play dates and our boys loved it. High recommend Sean!”
“2nd time that Kristy looked after our girls. It was an overnight rover and she made sure to keep us updated and followed all of our instructions. We felt calm and safe that she could take care of our pups which is a great feeling. Would book again!”
“This was our second time having Sarah take care of our dogs. They love her and we feel confident they are happy and taken care of when she is at the house. She is a great communicator and sends lots of photos. Thank you Sarah and we look forward to continuing use of your services in the future!”
About: Your pet is part of your family and I will treat them like they're part of my family. I understand rules are different in each house and I'll ensure I respect and follow your rules to ensure your pet returns just as happy and healthy as I received them. I am currently working from as a therapist so I have the flexibility and ability to ensure your pet is well cared for. They will be able to go out when needed and get regular walks! I can come to your home or they are welcome in mine. We have a large fully fenced backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with many walking paths to ensure they get their stimulation. For the cats, we have cat towers and toys ready to go for the playful kitties.
“Elle took such great care of our two dogs, cat, and house! She came through with last-minute pet-sitting and we feel so lucky to have found Elle! She sent regular updates with photos and videos, kept our pets safe and happy, and left our house in immaculate condition (probably cleaner than when she arrived). She cared for our dog who has separation anxiety and took extra steps to ensure he was happy. She also played with our active cat to keep him happy.”
“Nick was amazing! He took such great care of our puppy and two cats, and left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be using him the next time we’re out of town”
“Andrea was great. Super responsive and reliable and provides us with updates and pictures throughout the weekend. The dogs were happy and the house was clean! We'd definitely reach out to Andrea again if we needed help in the future.”
“Catie was an exceptional sitter for our 9month old dog Sage. She stayed in our house for 8 nights and left the space as clean as she arrived. She took great care of Sage, taking her to dog parks and walks. She was attentive and asked questions. She checked in daily. I never had a worry about Sages care. We will hopefully be booking her again in the future.”
“Aryana is wonderful and I will 100% be hiring her again for dog sitting! She sent great updates and my dog Ash looked SO happy and comfortable with her in photos. She went above and beyond to give my dog enriching days that included all his favorite things. Aryana was comfortable staying with Ash who has some special needs and sensitivity to being handled. She is clearly very intuitive with dogs and built trust immediately with him. She sent me a picture of him lying on his back on the couch in a state of total bliss. I knew he was in good hands!”
“David was an amazing sitter to our dog and cats. We had regular updates and pictures throughout the weekend. All the animals looked well cared for and relaxed. He stayed at our place and was very respectful of our home. We will definitely call on him again.”
“Deyaneira is an attentive and caring pet and home sitter! She was communicative, detailed and it was clear our home and cat were very well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Deyaneira!”
“Lindsey asked great questions ahead of the weekend dog sit and was very thorough and punctual. Her observations even saved our little trip, when she spotted the travel CPAP by the door when we were only 5 minutes away. Since her partner was available for part of the dog sit, Buck was treated to a bonus human, his favorite thing! Especially when he gets the middle spot on the couch. Lindsey was responsible for a 4 feeding schedule with special kibble and a pill feeding regime for a 12yo tripod with moderate elbow arthritis. I am happy to leave a positive review and offer recommendations for Lindsey as a sitter to others.”
“Margaret took great care of our dog and home while we were away. She followed his routine and even took him on several outings. She was communicative and understanding of his quirks, and very flexible when our flight was delayed several hours. She’s a very trustworthy sitter and we would book again.”
“Sara is a wonderful Dog Sitter! I highly recommend her services. I returned from a week away to a house that was cleaner than when I left and a happy and content dog. She was very attentive to my sensitive dog’s needs. She also took the time to go to the store for dog food since I miscalculated how much to leave. She is a true professional when it comes to dog & house sitting. I hope to use her again for future vacations.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
We were nervous about going on our vacation after our dog had some long-term health complications, but Brynna took wonderful care of her and our cat. We received lots of updates while she house sat for them, and her calm, confident demeanor helped to put us at ease. We came back to both of them being happy and very well cared for.
Jasmine was amazing! She took such great care of my dogs and sent me photos and videos every day of all their little adventures, which made it so much easier to relax knowing they were happy and in good hands. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and punctual throughout the entire stay. She also went WAY above and beyond what I expected. When my dishwasher started leaking while I was away, she helped me troubleshoot it and kept me updated on what was happening. And somehow, on top of taking wonderful care of my dogs, she deep cleaned my home and left it even better than I left it! I came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking Jasmine again. Highly recommend!

Elaina was amazing with our dog! She took her for so many excursions, sent tons of photos, was very communicative, and treated our girl with as much love as we do! She left our house cleaner than how we left it and I think she even gave our dog a bath! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!
Shannon did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs and our home. She was easy to communicate with, responds regularly and shared updates while we were away. We returned to a clean, well cared for space and happy pups. We’d love to have her house and pet sit for us again.
We are so glad we found Jeanne. She takes such great care of our dogs, is very communicative and has great attention to detail. Leaves our place so clean and takes good care of the house as well. It makes traveling easier knowing our dogs are in good hands. Thank you so much Jeanne!!
Tessa did an amazing job watching our wild pup, Baker for five days! She was very attentive, walked him every day, took care of a hot spot that he had, and gave us updates every day! She left our house super clean as well. We would definitely work with her again!
Jason has been a fantastic sitter for our Dachshund, Bentley. He really understands Bentley's demeanor, and Bentley warms up to him more with every stay. Jason always leaves our house looking better than we left it, and he even grabbed our absurd number of packages and brought them inside for us. We trust him completely with our home and our fur baby, and we'd love to have him back anytime.
Beau was fantastic house sitting and taking care of our 7 year old dog. Sent the best updates and photos regularly. Went on lots of walks. Left the house super clean and even washed the bedding and made the bed! We'll definitely be asking Beau to house sit again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Forest Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Forest Park on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Forest Park. 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 Forest Park 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 Forest Park 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 Forest Park 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 Forest Park. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
