“Denise has now been nice enough to house and dog sit for us a multiple amount of times and we have some booked in the future with her. We can confidently say we absolutely love having her take care of our pups and they love her too! She really goes above and beyond. She wrapped our Danes foot everyday for us on a wound she wouldn't leave alone and leaves us kind notes! Highly recommend. Really happy with her and Rover.com. - Chelsea and Tyler”
About: my name is Eleanor. I've had pets my entire life and for the past 12 years, I've started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time for you pets needs and desires. I do offer boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden retriever who loves everyone. She is also kennel trained if needed to be separated. I have plenty of toys and enrichments if desired. Will not be kenneled unless owner requests has access to the house. Pets are treated like family members
“Rebekah did a great job house sitting for us! She watered plants, brought in mail and newspapers as well as caring for our two dogs. Rebekah sent pictures and communicated daily with me which really helped me feel comfortable that my fur kids were in good hands. I will certainly use her again!”
“Daniel was a wonderful sitter and houseguest while taking care of our pups. He was responsive and proactive with communication, questions, and sending pics while we were away, and we would definitely work with him again!”
“Chiara was awesome! We had her watch our dogs and house for an extended weekend, and she was great! Highly recommend her! She assisted with medications for our older pup, and the house was in great shape when we returned. We hope to have Chiara stay again on our next trip!”
About: My whole adult life I’ve had the privilege of caring and loving many dogs and cats. I work with a pet rescue organization that has provided me with the knowledge and experience to give the best care for your loved ones. I am a full time musician and have spent 25 years touring all over the world. I lost my dog who traveled with me everywhere a few years back and now, taking a much needed break from the road, I am finding lots of extra time that I would love to fill surrounded by animals. I have just relocated to this area from Florida and my schedule is wide open. Every pet is different and has its own specific needs. I love long walks, to play fetch, swim, or just watch squirrels if that’s what they are into. I also have some experience with training on a leash, potty, and simple commands. A discussion about your animal, specific needs, and character is a good place to start.
About: My love for animals started long before I had pups of my own. From pet sitting for neighbors and volunteering at my local humane society to working at a pet hotel, caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as giving pets the patience, attention, and love they deserve. My husband and I recently moved to Colorado as a military family. We love getting outdoors and staying active! When I’m not spending time with my own two pups, Arlo and Otis, you can usually find me enjoying the fresh air and exploring our new backyard. I love an active lifestyle, and I’m always happy to make room for a little extra playtime, fresh air, and tail-wagging fun. As a pet parent myself, I understand that leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care is a big deal. You want more than someone to simply stop by or keep them company. You want someone who will notice their little quirks, respect their routines, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. That’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. Whether your pup is an energetic adventure seeker, a playful puppy, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they get the attention they need. My care can include playtime in my fenced backyard, potty breaks, walks, plenty of belly rubs, and regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. I’d love the opportunity to become someone you and your four-legged family members can count on. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 My days are built around giving pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I plan my routine around their needs, making sure there’s plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and rest. I enjoy an active lifestyle and love getting outside, so I’m happy to incorporate walks and outdoor fun when appropriate. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, never an afterthought! Safety, comfort, and trust always come first in my home. I have a fenced backyard where pups can enjoy fresh air, supervised playtime, and room to stretch their legs. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I’m mindful of introductions, individual temperaments, and each pet’s needs. With my own two pups, Arlo and Otis, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in a safe, loving environment.
“Reagan was amazing! She watched my mothers dog and my dog at my mothers house. She did a phenomenal job of making us feel confident and comfortable in the decision to use Rover. She had a welcoming and professional attitude from beginning to end. Reagan goes the extra mile and her love for dogs is very obvious. I am so grateful to have found Reagan and Rover! She took the stress out of leaving! Thank you Reagan!!!!!”
“We are so thankful for Rachel and her willingness to take in our Watts!! Her in-depth dig into who he is as a pup helped ease our stress of having to leave him behind over thanksgiving! Daily updates of their adventures helped make us miss him less knowing that he was having just as much fun as we were. Upon his return to us, you can tell he wasn’t stressed while away and that his mind was challenge. He definitely returned with better manners than he left us with, and our own training and expectations were held in place while away. We hope to be able to use her again in the future!!!”
“Leslie stepped-up as our dog sitter at the last minute due to a cancellation by the initial sitter. She immediately put us at ease in our time of distress. An angel in disguise! Her warm-hearted nature and love for dogs really shine through. She asked detailed questions about the care of our dogs and outlined the plan for where the dogs would sleep and hang out while in her home. Each day of our trip, Leslie sent pictures and updates to keep us in the loop. The dogs appeared so happy we were almost afraid they would not want to return home with us. Leslie provided such great care of Viggo and Lola! We are forever grateful for her service. Would recommend her without hesitation and intend to use her again and again. Thank you so much, Leslie!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 George 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 George 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 George 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
