“Lexy did a great job with Kobe. Kobe is a high energy puppy , especially when meeting someone new and Lexy was patient with kobe and he eventually calmed down as Kobe got comfortable with Lexy and had a great overall experience. Highly recommend Lexy for her patience with dogs, attention to house instructions and competence.”
“I felt comfortable with Stacy and Travis, we had a nice meet and greet and they gave good updates for the 2ish days that I was away They have significant experience with dogs and cats and I felt that mine were well cared for - would hire again!”
“Sara was fantastic at taking care of our dogs! She is an incredibly kind person and did phenomenal with random quirks our dogs have with strangers. She sent tons of updates and pictures and in every one our dogs looked relaxed and happy. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Cat was wonderful! Our pets loved her from the moment she came for the meet and greet. She took great care of them while we were gone and provided daily updates. Cat is very trustworthy, punctual, and we plan on booking her again for the next time we travel. Highly recommend hiring Cat to take care of your fur babies!”
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
“Sharon was a great pet-sitter, took care of our Cavie and our home very well. We are thankful for the extra touches she left us with and would recommend her and use her again - thank you Sharon!”
“Anika was great and will definitely use her again! She was on time, stayed later than she needed to (I told her she could leave because the dogs would be okay to be alone an hour) she send updates, took pictures, she asked about the dogs paws because it was hot outside and did her own research to see if it was suitable for them to walk and how long. She asked about which treats and which toys for each of my dogs too. A lucky find”
About: A homebody who loves animals, I have two of my own an 8 year old dog named Chase who is the most energetic little dude and a cat who is 1 named Pluto and she is fiesty. I would love to be able to help care for your animals just like I care for mine. I’m a stay at home momma so your babies will have my full attention all day and frequent bathroom breaks with lots of time for snuggles! I have a large fenced yard and a pup who loves to play with your fur babies!! I can easily crate if needed and they will get lots of snuggle!
“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Blake was awesome and made sure my dogs got in nice long walks and plenty of playtime to get out their energy. He also went out of his way to accommodate my last minute schedule. I definitely recommend booking him and will book him again myself!”
About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have 6 horses, 5 ducks, 5 cats, a dog, bunnies, and a hamster. All of these animals are under my responsibility, and I help provide their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, exercise, grooming, and monitoring their health. Growing up around so many different types of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am a true animal lover and treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time equestrian show Jumper and we usually go out of town about once an every other month from Wednesday to Sunday. I will know if I'm leaving out of town months in advance. It will be no surprise. I also ride horses almost every day, so I'm usually at the barn in the a.m. but can always switch times and be flexible. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always respectful of both their animals and their property. I grew up understanding the importance of treating other people’s belongings with care and respect. I will follow all instructions provided, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure pets maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and home are being treated as if they were my own

“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Hughes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Hughes on Rover is $64.2 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 2,437 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Hughes. 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 Hughes 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 Hughes 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 Hughes 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.

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.
