Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!

Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my cat Opie. He's a pandemic baby and I work remotely, so he is used to someone being around most of the time, he's spoiled and requires spoiling. Jessica stayed at my apartment with Opie, communicated with me, sent me pictures. She also went above and beyond, she stripped the bed, washed the sheets, took my regular trash and Opie's litter box trash to the dumpster, none of which did I ask her to do. I was very happy and lucky to have someone who cared that much.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every shape, size, and personality since I was a child. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to walk their pups, keep them fed and happy, and even tackle the occasional bath time. I love getting to know each dog’s quirks, whether they’re zoomie champions, cuddle experts, or treat connoisseurs. And it’s not just dogs, I’m a huge cat lover too! From playful kittens to laid-back loungers, I’m always excited to give them just as much care and attention. I’m currently a part-time college student, which means my schedule is super flexible and leaves me with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day and almost any time you might need, morning, midday, or night, except for Thursday afternoons when I’m in class. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pets company, I’m more than happy to work around your routine and make sure your animals feel cared for and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I fully adapt to your pet’s usual schedule and routines so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make their day feel just like it would if you were home, with plenty of attention, patience, and care.

About: I have had experience with cats my whole life, dogs about half. I own two cats and have had them since I was born, but I have had friends and family with dogs along the years. I pet sit often for my Uncle and Aunt for their three dogs, and other family members for their dogs and or cats. I have plenty experience walking dogs, taking them outside, cleaning up after both animals (litter boxes or not), as well as both playing and feeding them! I am currently working part time, so I will have a decent amount of time to care for your pets! My timeframe does vary, but I am very punctual and flexible with my times. I am unavailable most every Sunday, but I will always let you know what works best for me so I can help you out! I love getting to know their personalities and sitting or playing with them, no matter how mellow or how excited! It is very important to me that I learn their boundaries and behaviors so I can give them my best care, like offering my hands out for them to smell or standing or sitting a certain distance away from them until they are comfortable with me.

Emma arrived promptly for the meet and greet as well as the day her services were scheduled. Our furbabies really liked Emma. Zula can be very territorial and bark a lot if she feels unsafe or unsure, but she didn’t bark at Emma. Emma took her time getting to know both Bear and Zula and wore them out playing with them outside. Emma did have some personal things come up during her stay, but she stayed in constant communication and made sure the dogs were let out and fed. We will book her services again!

Alex was awesome at making sure Pearl was taken care of- but more importantly calmed my nerves about leaving her behind. Very responsive. Knowledgable. Patient. Flexible. Just some words to describe the type of care you and your pup will receive.

Lizzie did a great dog sitting with Bear! She kept her word and showed up on the holiday without cancelling last minute, and was on time. She followed our guidance on care and Bear appeared to settle in with her keeping to his routine. Will definitely have her sit again for our picky boy.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and ability to make pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including senior dogs and anxious pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and care, and I always keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. Since I am currently on summer break, I have a fairly flexible schedule and free time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, playtime, walks, and care while keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also keep the home clean, provide updates and pictures to owners, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.

OMG Tony is amazing! I wanted to leave a one star only so he's always available for us! He took on our 3 dogs like a champ. One puppy and one senior with mobility issues and meds. He ran in the back yard with the puppy and treated our senior like an absolute queen by catering to all her special needs. ! Not only were our dogs treated like royalty but our home was clean and he washed the bedding from his stay. He sent me so many pictures during our short time away. I could not recommend him more.

Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.

About: Hi, I’m Selena! 🐾 I’ve spent the past 10 years working with animals in a variety of settings, including animal shelters, a grooming salon, a veterinary hospital, dog daycare, and a dog park/bar. My experience has given me a well-rounded understanding of animal care, behavior, grooming, health, and what it takes to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take in pride in my communication (I will send photos and updates), following care instructions and caring for your pet like family because they are 😊. Because I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, I’m available for pet care before or after work, as well as on weekends. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, or just some extra snuggles, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶 If pet parents require a specific need for safety, I am happy to accommodate. I allow pets to free roam and be on furniture. I have multiple dog stairs leading to the couch to make it easier for pups who may have a harder time reaching high places. Everyone will be fed separately and on schedule.

We couldn't be happier with the care Taryn provided for our dogs. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and it was obvious they received plenty of attention and affection. Taryn went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and she treated our pets like they were her own. It's not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your animals and your home, but Taryn exceeded every expectation. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Lotawana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Lotawana on Rover is $33.3 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 1,428 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Lotawana. 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 Lotawana 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 Lotawana 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 Lotawana 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 Lotawana. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
