“Ashlee is amazing! This is the second time we have hired her to watch our animals and I couldn’t be happier. She sent regular updates and I knew my pets were happy with her being with them. We will continue to ask Ashlee to stay with them.”
“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”
“Julie was amazing! She hopped in when I had a last minute trip that I needed help with taking care of my two older pups. She took amazing care of them, sent me pictures and updated every time and was so considerate. She even left them treats and goodies when I returned! Will absolutely be using her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!”
“Hannah did a great job watching both our dogs. She went above and beyond before during and after watching our babies! We'll definitely look her up again when back in the area. Thanks for everything Hannah!!”
“Rabia did an amazing job making our two boys comfortable while we had to be away. We were first time boarders so we were very nervous. She really helped with daily check ins and sending pictures to help us not be so worried. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Daisy did a terrific job with our 2 girls. She gave them so much attention. She sent updates and pictures everyday. She even called when she noticed Pepper was having problems with her ears. And took her to the Vet for us. We highly recommend Darsy. We will definitely use her again. If we could we would give her 10 stars!”
About: Dogs are the best. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 little guys (9yr and 14yr). No matter where I go I always find the dogs! If your pup is friendly, they’ll get along great with mine! Currently relocated here for a job and unfortunately that didn’t work out. I’m currently searching for the next career move, and I would love for that to be taking care of your pup! Obviously listening to the advice of the parent first, my house is their house, for all friendly pups! I have a large fenced in back yard with flood lights all around.
“Jenna was amazing! We are going to use her again. 100% definitely going to use her again. She was responsive and sent us a ton of pictures. Asked questions and sent feedback on our pups. She was amazing.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs for 5 years! I am happy to do overnights or house sitting. I am comfortable administering supplements or medications, minor grooming such as brushing or bathing as part of requested maintenance. I started dog sitting for family friends, neighbors and co-workers. I have experience with higher maintenance senior pets that have needed a close watch for bathroom cues, medicine and supplement administration, as well as special meals catered to their needs. I have also taken care of a range of breeds such as XL breeds like Mountain Curs or Bernese Mountain Dogs, large/mid such as labs, pit-bull mixes, a Norwegian Elk Hound or breeds as petite as a miniature dachshund. I have a free schedule for booking, I am generally available for weekend hours within reasonable notice. Otherwise, I am very flexible with scheduling and accommodations! I am comfortable with any and all kinds of visits ranging from potty breaks to house sitting stays, fenced yard or free range pups, walking, meals and supplements as well as crating your fur baby as needed.
“cassidy is the absolute very best!!!!! I truly wish I could give her more then 5 stars!!! she watched our two dogs on short notice over a holiday weekend and went absolutely above and beyond! constant communication with pictures and videos, left our house I think cleaner than when she arrived 😉, and so much more! I can’t say enough positive things about her, will definitely be using her in the future and recommend her to anyone!”
“Charlie did great again with our pups, as always! Made sure they were taken care of and sent plenty of pictures. Appreciate her for being able to watch them so last minute too!”
About: Rover is perfect because I love animals and get to meet many new ones. Rover is also perfect because I get to build client relationships and establish trust doing something I really enjoy. I want you to be happy and confident in the care they are receiving. I have my own dog and they are apart of my world. I offer doggy (animal) drop ins or walks, which I have experience with in the past on petsittercom, dog gone cute grooming & boutique, and on rover during covid. This allows me to be flexible to your needs and still make an income doing something I enjoy. I am 23 years old. My name is Abigail and I am the librarian at CHS. I use to have my own dog named Moo as a kid, she was a rat terrior and I went away on vacation and used rover. So I understand how hard it is to trust somebody online with a part of your family. You can text, call, or email me with any questions, or worries. Extra Fees: Discussed over messages (holiday, puppy, ect.) (Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, and Thanksgiving) I love cats too and have experience with drop in visits. As well as birds, fish, turtles, and chickens. I make sure to always send pictures and be available if needed. I always appreciate a detailed message or note for visits just so I know everything that's expected and don't have to contact you during the time you are busy with questions. This helps your dog/ pet be more comfortable when away from you :) I have a reasonably open schedule. I get off work at 2/2:30 pm in Fort Walton Beach as well as being available on the weekends! At your home I will follow instructions left and make sure everything gets done. I will send pictures and be aware of my surroundings during walks. Your dogs safety is my priority!
About: I’ve grown up on a horse farm and have had multiple dogs since I was a child. Taking care of the dogs has always been my job while I am home. I am currently in between jobs in my field and am looking to fill the gap I love animals and want to help out where can while also making some pocket change. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. Somewhat of a people pleaser and will do everything by whatever rules and steps you request. Willing to go on long walks to entertain pups and could potentially bring one of my small dogs along to socialize if preferred.
About: I Need a dog fix! I currently don’t have a dog although I have for most of my life! I grew up with mixed breeds and many animals, had a Great Pyrenees, golden retriever and then a hot dog, also I Have taken care of friends’ dogs when I lived up north. I have lived in Florida for nine years, I know where dog parks are ( if it is approved by owners). I have worked in the health field with a variety of illnesses, also the short term rental & HOA field. I have always been amazed by service animals, therapy animals and have considered becoming a dog groomer. I love dogs and now have more flexibility and availability for doing what I love! I’m healthy , active and know the area, don’t mind traveling I’m currently retired and working just 2-3x/week 1-6pm. I have lots of energy and have an elderly cat right now so I cannot board dogs at this time . I’m around on the weekends and mostly available! I know the area well and can drive to clients homes, I can transport pets as needed, eventually I would be able to board dogs in my home.
About: I have over 7 years experience of house/pet sitting caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. My past nursing experience has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.
“Jenna is such a gem. Our gsp is so happy, well cared for and spoiled every visit with Jenna. She is sparkling clean and a great communicator. Just a fabulous human :)”

Laura came through for me at the very last minute. My original sitter for the pets couldn’t make it. She was able to watch our dogs with not a lot of notification. I’m very thankful. She did a great job with communication and I would definitely recommend. Our dogs seemed to take to her immediately!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Lorraine is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $72 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Lorraine 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 Lorraine 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 Lorraine 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.

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.
