“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!”

About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“Kristine was absolutely incredible with our large dogs. They loved every minute with her and she was so incredibly patient and loving towards them. I will feel so incredibly safe leaving town the next time we get to book her.”

About: There has never been a moment where there has not been at least one dog in my home for the last 15 years. I have experience training both puppies and adult dogs. No dog is too much of a task and I look forward to working and walking your babies. I currently have a pretty free schedule and have plenty of time to work with your pups! Am also willing to adjust my schedule to better provide. I do not offer in home boarding at my home, but I absolutely love keeping your fur babies company in your home for as long as needed.

“5 stars!! Michele was extremely attentive and outstanding for both of our pets. We were in constant contact and she was very sweet and accommodating at all hours. We have a diabetic dog who needed extra attention and Michele was very much on top of that especially because the first few days were really hard on our dog’s sugars. She was very responsive, thoughtful and prioritized the safety and comfort of our pups, consulting with a Rover vet when she felt that our dog’s condition was becoming more emergent. She also left our house cleaner than when she started her stay. We would be so lucky to have her watch any of our family members again and hope to see her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies who are still learning routines to sweet senior dogs who need patience and gentle care, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every dog I care for. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which means I can provide consistent, reliable care any day of the week. I enjoy structuring my days around pets—making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to adapt to each dog’s routine and give them plenty of time, love, and supervision. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.
“Our dog Romeo is almost five years old and a rescue. He has separation anxiety and is recovering from ligament surgery. He's also 80 lbs of lean muscle. We have only left him once for a 2-day family wedding. We were lucky to have found a local border then, but she no longer takes big dogs. That's how we found Jehnean on Rover.com. Her picture showed she had experience with big dogs, additional skills like providing meds and First Aid/CPR, daily exercise with special needs dog experience, and the best background check Rover could provide. We were nervous about leaving our baby and house to someone we didn't know. We reached out, and Jehnean agreed to visit and meet. Romeo immediately liked her--so did I! They both hung out on his big dog bed while we got to know each other. She has such a great demeanor. We were thrilled to take a much-needed vacation. We even extended the vacation time by one-day hassle-free. Jehnean watered our plants, walked and played with Romeo, and sent daily text updates and pictures of our baby. In addition, she left our house in an immaculate state! Upon our return, her updates were all positive. We welcomed Jehnean to our doggy family and highly recommend her to care for your furries and home! Thank you, Jehnean, for providing excellent service!”

“Ariel was great with McLovin. She asked wonderful questions before we left for our evening. She sent incredible photos and updates. We will definitely ask her for her help again soon!”

“Kayla was an exceptional home and pet sitter - I can't recommend her highly enough! We recently went on a week-long vacation, leaving our one-year-old cat, Tempuki, at home. We were worried about Tempuki spending so much time alone, but Kayla turned out to be our saving grace! From the moment we met Kayla, her warm and welcoming personality assured us that both our home and pet would be in great hands. Her presence allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing that Tempuki was well cared for and our home was secure. Kayla went above and beyond in her duties. She kept our home in pristine condition, just as we'd left it. What we appreciated most was her attentiveness to Tempuki. She regularly sent us pictures of our furry friend, which was a delightful way to stay connected while we were away. It's clear that Kayla has a genuine love for animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Her reliability and care gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet and house sitter, look no further than Kayla. She'll treat your home and pets as if they were her own!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Hughes is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
