“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”
“I wish I could book Rylie every time we traveled. Are pets are so loved and cared for and we came home to a picked up house, mail brought in, a cleaned out litter box, and happy kitties and a puppy. She sends great updates/pics, and truly has my animals best interest at heart. This is our 2nd time booking her and would 100% use her again.”
“We love having Katherine pet sit. She gives the menagerie a ton of attention and we really appreciate the photos and videos that allow us to know everything's good so we can travel with peaceful minds. :)”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura. She took amazing care of my cat, Saylor, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She spent quality time with Saylor, even brought her special gifts, and kept me updated every day with photos and videos. She’s incredibly communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I also really appreciated that she left my home spotless. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I could tell Saylor was happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter! we are looking forward to more sits with Laura”
“Jordan was fantastic! She arrived promptly and sent us photos of the pups to let us know she was there and the pups were well :). She continued to send us photos (and she got some great shots) in a way that was comforting and just the right amount. The house was in great shape when we got home. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were in their own environment. We are all looking forward to our next opportunity to have Jordan do a drop in visit or stay when we travel.”
“Jill was fantastic! My dogs were very relaxed around her, so that gave me peace of mind. She kept me updated every day and I could see the kids were having a good time. Thank you, Jill!”
“Carolyn did an incredible job!! She was very easy to get in touch with, sent a ton of updates, and took care of our girls like they were her own. I can’t wait for her to watch our dogs again. She’s amazing.”
“My Ruby girl had an excellent time with Rhonda, getting spoiled with walks and extra love over Christmas. Rhoda went above and beyond the call of duty and even took care of some household stuff. She communicated with me often and sent lots of pictures. I had such peace of mind knowing that Rhoda was caring for Ruby so well. I cannot say enough good about 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”
“My fiancé and I travel for work nearly every week and have had multiple Rover sitters at our house over the past 6 months. Emma is BY FAR our favorite gal. She takes fantastic care of our pups/kitties and is always diligent about cleaning up before she leaves, washing the sheets/towels before she leaves and even vacuuming the floors with our rumbas! She is very communicative while we’re away, sending lots of photos and updates, and is always quick to respond. We adore her and are so grateful to have her as one of our recurrent sitters!”
“I needed a sitter for my dog last minute and Christian came through for us! Very communicative and took excellent care of my pup. Will definitely use again!”
About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).
“Victoria was wonderful with Ludo. She was quick to respond and had great communication throughout, along with sending a picture update. She followed his care instructions and asked questions to clarify his puppy routine. I would be happy to book with her again and I would recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet.”
“Shea is so sweet- She was wonderful with our two dogs while we were out of town. She stayed in our home- she’s clean and trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again.”

“Allison, did an excellent job! She is proactive and immediately stepped in and helped us on short notice. She was reliable and excellent with our 3 dogs and even cleaned the house before we came home. Our dogs were well taken care of!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Magdalene
Madison has sit for us many times. She just finished 9 nights here and my house was left in great condition but more importantly so were my animals. She administered daily medication and was able to get more for me when I unexpectedly ran out. Huge help!!! Thank you soooooo much
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 $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,479 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.
