“Charlene took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat. The dogs were let out frequently and she played fetch with them, despite the nasty weather. She took great care of our home and left everything tidy and neat. She was very communicative and adaptable. We had a major flood warning and she evacuated the dogs for a few nights and made our cat as comfortable as possible while waiting out the storm. We would absolutely welcome her back in the future to take care of our zoo. Thanks, Charlene!”
“Morgan was great with my babies! She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent pictures throughout the stay. She made it easy to be away and will definitely rebook when needed!”
“Camille was great for Archer and Athena. We appreciated the consistency of photos and videos and her good communication. Our pets were in good hands and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of well.”
“We are so happy to have found Karolina! She and our kitty seem to really love each other. She takes such good care of our house, and keeps our kitty happy while we are away. We have no worries when she is there.”
“Phenomenal! Best dog sitter we've had. Our pup is 18 and needs some tender loving care with full-time attention. Bridgette understood exactly what we we wanted. Took great notes. Reiterated what we asked so she had clarity. While we were gone she checked in regularly and shared pics of our pup. The small details, like cleaning the main area, washing sheets and remaking bed, and the note were top-notch.”
“This is the second time Veronica took care of my house and pets. This first time was only for a few days. This time it was for 2 weeks. My pets were well cared for and I got pictures of them regularly. Even my super timid cat who doesn’t do well with new people warmed up to Veronica and would sit with her. Seeing that made me feel that I’d made the best choice possible for a house/pet sitter. Veronica did everything I had asked her to do, including accommodating a contractor who did some repairs while I was gone. When I got home, the house was cleaner than when I left! This was an excellent experience.”
“Caitlin is super nice, and even washed her linens, even mine, and didn’t ask her to. My dog looked very happy and relaxed, and took a nap. I was very happy with her care! She sent photos also, which helped me feel better as well. She’s awesome!”
“Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!”
“100% the best pet sitter we have ever had. Restored my faith in rover. She loved my babies and took excellent care of them. They are needy and shy and medicine dependent and she handled it all like a pro”
“Donna did a wonderful job looking after our older kitty for a couple nights. His (and our!) anxiety visibly lowered, thanks to her care, and we so appreciated the pictures she sent.”
“Kathryn really helped us out with a last minute booking! She was great with the boundaries we put in place for our reactive dog. Even willing to swing by one extra time when our flight got delayed.”
About: I’ve been helping care for pets my whole life! For family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped to care for anxious pets, reactive pets, and senior pets. I’m available for overnights on the weekends, walks throughout the week, and any pet care in the summer! I teach during the school year :) I treat pets like family! My two dogs are spoiled & well loved. I would treat your pets the same & would be happy to chat about what your pet care expectations look like :)
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”
“Jessica is a great sitter for my higher maintenance old dogs. She is good with communication, checking items and asking questions. On top of that, I think the kitchen was cleaner than before she arrived! Highly recommended.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lake Ketchum is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Ketchum
This experience and Charlene exceeded my expectations. I hadn't used Rover before and was really nervous about leaving my home and loved pup in the care of someone else but I got lots of updates while I was away and when I got back, my dog dog was happy and relaxed. When I need a pet sitter again, I won't even hesitate to book Charlene.
Hayli is so lovely to work with. She was so communicative that we were able to piece together that something wasn’t right with our dog and thanks to Hayli the vet discovered an underlying medical issue. She is always extremely pleasant and easy to work with. You will not regret booking with her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Ketchum
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,392 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Ketchum. 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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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.
