Nicole did a great job watching our crew while we were out of town for two days. Because we have an elderly dog, we booked her for overnight care. We got pictures once a day and our furry crew was happy and well cared for during our trip. We appreciated the flexibility that Nicole offered, since we didn't know exact times we would be leaving or arriving back to the house. While we left later than expected and came back earlier than planned - we liked that Nicole kept communication open and made sure all was well with our crew and our home.

About: I have 3 years of veterinary experience with dogs and cats but a lifetime of love/passion for animals. I’d be happy to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. Due to my work schedule & having fur babies of my own, I am available on weekends to be sure your pets are safe and happy. I’d be glad to do a meet n greet with you & your fur babies to be sure we’re a good fit. I want to be sure you’re comfortable and they are too! I’m very reliable, have great attention to detail and time management.

Kim is a trustworthy and responsible pet and house sitter. During the week she walked the dogs regularly and sent updates with pictures of the dogs. I really appreciate that Kim was able to handle and care for three large dogs ( two German Short-haired Pointers and one Belgian Malinois). Thank you Kim!

Linda was fantastic! I have an older small dog (Bailey) who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Linda was unbelievably patience, taking things slow, making sure to reduce Bailey’s stress level. Bailey rarely eats when I’m away, but she actually ate for her. She sent me regular updates and pictures on how things were going. Linda’s kindness, patience, and attentiveness made a potentially stressful situation seamless for both Bailey and me. I highly recommend her to anyone with a dog (or any animal) who needs a calm, compassionate caretaker. I already have booked her again.

Brittany is an amazing dog sitter!! She’s so sweet and put my mind at ease right away. Brittany loves animals, she took great care of my pup and my house. She also took pics and videos so I could see what my baby was up to. Don’t hesitate, you can trust her with your fur baby! My vaca was stress free knowing my dog was in great hands with Brittany.

About: I have worked as a pet sitter for 3 years taking care of various types of animals in people's homes before moving to Florida. I walked, fed, cleaned and documented everything that was done. We provided very personal service to our clients. I am flexible and available anytime. When not pet sitting I am taking care of our animals on our small farm, this allows me to keep a very open schedule. I treat everyone's home with absolute respect and courtesy. I am very comfortable with alarm and garage codes and document everything I do with your pet. I am willing to take short videos with the time spent with your pet to ensure you see their happiness.

About: *** No dog to BIG or small *** We walk the walk and bark the bark over here. We come, sit stay and play ALL DAY! Hi, I’m Stephanie. Lover all shapes and sizes (or breeds,lol). I’m a stay at home dog/human mama who adores all things on 4 legs. I have over 20+ years of experience with several breeds of fur babies. I’m pretty fluent in house breaking for pups, leash training, day to day commands and can follow a pretty strict schedule. As for our senior babies, we can do that too. Slower walks, patient feedings, medications and a laid back lifestyle. I am a current stay at home mom of 2 who I also homeschool! So availability is pretty open most week days and week ends. Early mornings/late nights are always a thing too! For boarding purposes I offer a fully fenced in back yard with a pup of our own to keep yours in good company. Our home is also pretty pet friendly. We don’t use any type of harsh chemicals, fragrances, bleach, aerosols, candles, etc.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. Pets are part of the family, and I will always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away or busy. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, attention, and time to explore while keeping their safety a priority. I’m comfortable following your instructions regarding walking routes, leash preferences, feeding schedules, and your dog’s individual needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and everything is secure before I leave. I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, which is why communication and reliability are extremely important to me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I look forward to getting to know yours! Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy or simply some company and attention while you’re away, my goal is to make their time with me safe, fun, and comfortable. 🐶❤️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of my work schedule to take care of fur babies! I don't have an exact schedule so I have the flexibility. I only offer drop in visits or home sitting. I will make sure they are in a safe environment at all times. Making sure the gates and/or doors are closed at all times so that the fur babies don't get out.

Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!

Sharon was incredible!!! She accepted our last minute house sitting request to watch my puppy & mom’s senior dog at a hotel we stayed at while we went to a family wedding. We were so happy with Sharon once we met her and she gave plenty of updates on how the two boys were doing while we were gone for about 6 hours. Love her energy, she loves dogs & was so nice! Felt very comfortable with her watching them while we were gone and would definitely use again. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing! We have 1 older pit bull and 2 puppies (4mos) who are still in need of constant supervision and she did a great job of caring for them while we went away from the house for 5 hours. The pack didn't have any accidents and was totally chilling when we got back to our house. Can't wait to have Marisa back with the pack soon when we try an overnight trip without puppies. :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 11. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to feed, play with and walk their dogs. I would love to be your next option!! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to visit your house and cater to your pet’s everyday needs and love! I can do House Sitting whenever, as I don’t mind driving to and from work. I will be attending college soon, so I would be available MonTues before 7:30am and after 2pm, and WedThu before 2pm and around 8pm. I have a fenced yard and two pups at home that do not discriminate! They have a feeding schedule that will not interfere with your pet’s, and we have plenty of toys to go around!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Kathryn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,930 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Kathryn. 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 Kathryn 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 Kathryn 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 Kathryn 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 Kathryn. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
