“We found our perfect housesitter/doggo sitter! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous at first about having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our three mischievous pups. We had always relied on friends and family, so this was a brand-new experience for us. From the very beginning, Anja completely put our minds at ease. She was incredible with our doggos, sent us daily photos that made us smile, took them for walks, snuggled and loved on them and took wonderful care of our home. Truly, I wish I could give her 10 stars—she’s that amazing. We couldn’t be happier and hope to use her Rover skills again and again. Thank you Anja!”
“Beau took care of my dog Bronski and did an exceptional job. Bronski was happy and responded well to Beau, who provided updates and photos throughout the day. I trust Beau and will use their services again in the future. I highly recommend Beau to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dogsitter.”
“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!”
“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
“Highly recommend Mackenzie! Super responsive, attentive to our pup, and left the house and room where she stayed impeccably clean. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Laurel took care of our 1 year old dog for 6 days. She communicated well over the app, gave our dog lots of attention, and left the house in really great shape. She was really pleasant to work with!”
“My husband and I had Debs & Paul watch our 18 mo shepherd, Harlow, and they were fabulous! They came for a couple visits prior to us leaving so that Harlow could socialize with them a bit, which was incredibly well intentioned and much appreciated, but, in retrospect, hilariously over-thought. Harlow was over the moon in love with them from the moment they walked in the door and the lovefest continued through the two weeks we were gone. We received regular text updates, pictures and videos to alleviate any remaining anxiety and, in the end, had a stress-free getaway and a VERY happy pup! Mission accomplished, with many thanks to Debs & Paul!!”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Elaina was an excellent sitter, she was quick on the uptake and just the initial greet left me confident in her care. She watched Kanna overnight and was very communicative. I believe she went above and beyond on walks and play too. I got so many lovely photos and updates, would absolutely hire again and recommend!!”
“Allie was fantastic, stepping up huge to watch our two 3 month old puppies just a week after they arrived! She was attentive, kept us in the loop over the course of the weekend, and even managed them through the tail end of house training. 10/10 would recommend.”
“George took great care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip. He is very responsive and sent lots of updates. We really appreciated the flexibility in his schedule that allowed him to check in often. We came home to a couple of happy guys! We will be booking with him again on our next trip.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful while watching my dog and taking care of my home. She was reliable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe, clean, and comfortable while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the regular updates and peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Andrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“Jon was a delight to work with! He took great care of our dog and our house and left the house tidier than he found it. He is also a great communicator and very conscientious. We’re pretty sure our dog had more fun with Jon than he does with us :)”
“This is our second time having David watch our dog Gemini. She had met his dogs last year and we decided to board her with him, instead of house sitting. We had a refresher met and greet with his dogs ahead of time, which was great. She had a blast with his dogs and another rover friend! Lots of photos and updates! Will continue to use David as our 1st choice!”
“Jason watched our dogs for about a week while we were away for our wedding. He was highly communicative, sent great pics and it was so nice not to have to worry while we were away. The house looked great when we came home and our dogs seemed very happy. Highly recommend!!”
“Erica was a wonderful friend to our fur babies and house guest while we were away. Our dog and cat instantly bonded with her and calmed in her presence. Looking forward to having her back!”
“Joshua was so incredible with our two big dogs over a long weekend. He came over to meet the dogs twice before the sit to make sure they felt comfortable with him. They immediately loved him and he made us feel confident they would be on good hands while we were away. He kept us updated and sent pictures the whole time. We know our dogs are a handful (reactive, prey driven), but he never made us feel like they were too much. Cannot thank him enough and are so lucky we found him!”

Allie was wonderful with all three pups and made sure to send lots of updates and pics! She sat over the July 4th weekend and did great managing the firework anxiety, as well as making sure that two of them got all their meds for surgery recovery. Allie was also kindly flexible with her schedule and made it possible for me to extend my trip one more night. Will absolutely be hiring Allie again - she did an amazing job!!
Sebastian was wonderful with our two dogs over the July 4th weekend! He took great care of them, kept us updated, and it was clear they were happy and well loved while we were away. We also came home to a clean, well-kept house, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely trust Sebastian with our boys again and highly recommend him!
Jasmine is a complete dream. She is caring, intuitive about pets and helped ours feel so calm and safe, even on the 4th of July when fireworks were going off. She's completely responsible, reliable, and has great communications, often sending us pictures of our pets, but beyond that, just has a beautiful way about her and a true love and affection for the pets in her care. Our dog, Ollie, can sometimes be a little shy at first but right away, from the photos she sent with his eyes shining and happy, I could tell she'd made him feel completely at ease. Anyone's pets would be lucky to be in her care.
Ben was a phenomenal sitter & we could not recommend him more highly. We were nervous leaving our 4 month old pup overnight for the first time, but it was obvious that he was in great hands. Ben handled the puppy antics like a pro + made sure our adult shep was also incredibly well cared for. He was so accommodating with a late modification request, sent awesome pics & updates, took great of the house, and really went above and beyond all expectations. We are really grateful for Ben's dog care/sitter services and know any pup/fam would be lucky to receive his care & attention
Beau went so far past above and beyond that they’ll need to find a new phrase. They felt the full brunt of Murphy’s law and handled it with incredible professionalism, compassion, and good humor. Our huge puppy took every chance to play the rebellious teenager while we were out of town, and I can’t believe this is a sentence I’m writing, but Beau was carpenter as well as animal caregiver as they repaired a surprise gap in our fence after going on a wild dog chase around the neighborhood. It’s obvious that Beau loves animals and takes their job very seriously. I don’t know how they had time to tidy the house, do laundry, and empty the dishwasher while chasing our monster around during his various joy rides, but they did. 100/10, would insist you hire them.
Stephani was so wonderful and my pets. Stephani stayed over to take care of my animal pack while I was away, she checked in as often as we agreed and sent pictures of activities along the week. I have two cats and one small dog and when I returned everyone was happy.
Elaina is truly the best, my pup adores being sat by her and I love having updates about Rocco throughout the day. I am confident leaving my puppy with her and always come home to such excellent, thoughtful care. And we know puppies are a handful! Thank you Elaina!
It's been an extremely smooth and easy process working with Tessa over the holiday weekend! Tessa was very communicative, patient and took great care of Beanie and Alfie. She also went above and beyond to get me updates for some new behaviors during the last walk with Beanie along with some stubborn behaviors resulting in a sloght change of plans for end of evening activities. Really appreciate your flexibility, communication and help over the weekend! Will plan to book care for Alfie and Beanie with Tessa again, thank you!!
Emily was so amazing for our house sitting! She made sure Dalia was super taken care of. She really took the time to ask how Dalia is, her routines, and if she has any particular behaviors. Dalia loved Emily so much! Also, Emily left our home super spotless. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Emily! She’s the best.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 7,640 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
