“Madison was great! She showed up on time and sent pictures of my pups. My dogs were happy and healthy when I got home & the house was clean. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was a child, and I currently have one that I'm taking care of now! If your dog loves to go outside, take walks and play, or even if your dog likes to rest and receive pets and cuddles, I'm happy to provide the same level of care as I would for my dog! I currently work from home off of a laptop, and my schedule is very flexible! I'll be able to provide your fluffy friend the proper care they need and give them all the attention they want! I'm happy to ensure that your home remains a safe environment for your pet while you are away! I'd also be happy to take pictures throughout my stay to provide peace of mind that your pet is happy and healthy!
About: I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal with patience and care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their routines and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also highly responsive and happy to send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I work as a nanny during the day on weekdays, so I’m usually available for pet care after about 5-6pm. On weekends I have much more flexibility and am available for boarding and extended care. I love staying active and spending time outside, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their family is away. For me, it’s a joy to care for pets so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can care for them in the way that works best for them!
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Danielle is absolutely amazing with our puppy, Ares! She takes such good care of him and strictly sticks to his established routine. She is reliable, attentive, and has good communication. Highly recommend!🐾”
“Where has Laura been all our lives!! She is by far our absolute favorite person to house sit and stay with our Greyhound and German Shepherd. They both fell in love with her right away. She gave 3 updates every day with plenty wonderful pictures. Our dogs were smiling from ear to ear in everyone of them. She left the house in the exact way we left it in. From kitchen to bath and guest room, tip top! I'd give 6 stars 🌟 if I could!! Thank you!!”
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
“Jill did a great job with our little princesses as they can be a little “needy”. She arrived when she said she would and provided the ideal level of communication with pictures during her stay. Even left the house cleaner than when she arrived.”
“Charlotte was amazing while staying with our beagles for 5 days. She sent updates and photos everyday and was very quick to reply. She seemed to care a lot about the happiness of the pup. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“They were absolutely amazing! My dog was treated so well, they played with her nonstop, sent so many amazing pictures and videos, and left my house so clean! Communication absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to book them again in the future. Sami was definitely sad to see them leave.”
“I was very impressed with Jordan. She is personable, great communicator and professional. I felt very much at ease with her and she seems to genuinely care for the fur babies she is responsible for. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Jayla did an absolutely amazing job. my fussy frenchie warmed up to her immediately, which was the most important thing!! in addition, the house is cleaner than when I left it!! amazing 👏 🤩 🙀. Already booked another stay.”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs my entire life. I have grown up caring for and loving dogs of all sizes! My specialty is large sized breeds. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Pet care is my top priority in my weekly routine ! I provide attentive and reliable care. I will maintain your pets normal routine, while providing companionship and love for your baby! I am committed to providing trustworthy care!
“Laura did a great job with my pets. She sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing, this gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my vacation. This was the first time they were taken care of someone they didn’t know but they all trusted her and it was life as usual for them. Will definitely try to book Laura when I plan my next vacation.”
“Rebecca took our last minute booking to watch our Ralphie after another sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She came by for a meet & greet within hours and we were relieved to see how our pup and Rebecca got along from the start! As for the stay, Rebecca arrived at our house on time and was great about keeping us updated. When we came home, our house was clean and she even washed any dishes she used - it was so nice to see that Ralphie was happy and our house was how we left it! We definitely recommend Rebecca for your pet sittting needs in the East Bay.”
“Mariana was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs during my 12-day vacation! She handled their daily medications, strict feeding routines, and regular walks with absolute care and professionalism. I received wonderful daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Magdalene
Suzanne was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took care of my 2 kitties while I was away for the weekend and gave me such peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and was even able to get my anxious boy out of hiding. I could not recommend her enough for your next weekend away, and I will definitely be booking with her again😊
Madison is the absolute best. She not only keeps us well updated on all (5) of our fur babies morning and evening, but she really cares for the animals and they seem happy and loved whenever we return. My wife and I are so grateful to have found her because we are very picky about who we trust our babies to ~ and she goes above and beyond. Our house is a handful but we will always trust it in hers. Thanks Madison! Leo, Link, Lola, August and Ava love you!
Rhoda is our go-to sitter for our senior dogs, hands down. She gives them so much individual attention and really understands their different needs. She keeps us updated the whole time we're away, so we never have to worry. Beyond the amazing care she gives our dogs, she takes just as much care with our home. We recommend her highly to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!
Emma did an amazing job taking care of our two German Shepherds, Lily and Stella! From the moment we met her, we felt confident they were in great hands. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated, gave them plenty of attention, and we came home to two happy dogs. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We wouldn't hesitate to have her watch Lily and Stella again!
Meredith is amazing! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. When I got home, everything was exactly as I had left it, clean, organized, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lucas was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Charlotte was amazing! She provided daily updates and pictures of all of our pets. From our first meet and greet we could tell she clicked with all of them and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. 10/10 and will be booking with her again
Mark took great care of our senior dog, Milo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He communicated regularly, kept us updated, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. We would definitely book with Mark again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Definitely love Morgann! The animals seemed to love her too and everything went very smooth. My husband and I wanted to go to a concert and our very dependent animals can’t be left alone. It was a last minute booking and Morgann took great care of all 5 pets. She even gave thyroid medication to our elderly cat. Will definitely be booking her for house sitting again!
Mary is fantastic! It’s the 2nd time we book her to sit our dogs and we’ve had a wonderful experience both times. She’s proactive and if she thinks there’s anything she can do to better handle our dogs, she will ask questions and make it happen. She loves our babies and we love her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Magdalene
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Magdalene on Rover is $55.5 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 4,415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Magdalene. 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 Magdalene 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 Magdalene 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 Magdalene 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.
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.
