“Jessica is great! She was very responsive and sent us pictures of our dog and cats daily. We could tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. She also kept the house very tidy. We will absolutely inquire about her services in future.”
“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!”
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.
About: I have always loved dogs growing up and playing with them brings me a sense of joy. I have dogs of my own and I always make sure that they are loved and cared for I currently work as a receptionist part time, so I’m free anytime to love, play, and take care of your pets whenever it’s necessary for you! At my home we have an electric fence, but we also have leashes for our dogs and others friends incase we have company over there
About: I had a pet Chihuahua Ratterrier mix growing up and have experience babysitting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for one family for several years. For them, I follow a feeding and walking schedule they give me. Any specific instructions and requirements are no problem for me. Let me love your dog! I am a college student at UMKC trying to save up for a trip to New York by October. I have classes Monday-Thursday (with an online class on Wednesday) but even on school days my schedule is pretty flexible. If the pet is friendly and sociable, I try to give them as much attention as possible. Animals love love but also I love to love on animals so I consider that a win-win. But I also know some pets are shy with strangers so I respect whatever the pet is feeling. If the pet is known to be destructive, I keep an eye on them as much as possible. I sometimes do have homework and responsibilities so I might be on my laptop at times as well but any concerns owners may have with that can be worked out easily. I understand all animals have their own unique personalities and needs that come with them.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emma made us feel at ease with our meet and greet, and overall process. She was reliable, our dogs seemed to love her, and she was very communicative. We will definitely try and book her again in the future. Thank you, Emma!”
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.
“Kathy watched our dogs over 4th of July weekend and did a wonderful job taking care of them and managing their anxiety. She kept me updated all weekend and left our house in great shape. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve done overnight pet and house sitting for several years and different clients, as well as drop/in visits to feed, care, and keep pets company while owners are away. I work a full time day job during the week and am free most evenings and weekends. I work my day job the first Saturday of every month. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.
“Haley was the perfect fit for our dogs! From the meet and greet until the last day she provided updates and was great at communicating! Will definitely recommend and use her in the future!”
“Jodi was wonderful with my animals, especially my dog who needed multiple medications and extra care while I was away. She is professional, patient, dedicated and communicative. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet/house sitting. Truly blessed to have had her as a sitter!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter off and on since 2018! I love animals of all kinds, and right now I work at a pet store! I’m also in school for Animal Health and Behavior! I’m working part time in the evenings and some afternoons, with online school, so I’ll be able to check on your fur baby or stay with them in between then! I will care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Everyone deserves to feel at ease about their pets while they’re away.
“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.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Lotawana
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 $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,407 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.

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.
