“As two overly anxious dog parents, it’s always hard for us to entrust someone else with Ruger and Olive, but Courtney put us at ease with a meet & greet before our scheduled trip and updated us with pictures and videos. She was wonderful with our senior velcro dogs and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or ask her to house sit again!”
“Joy was so thoughtful, paid attention to all the details, and our cats liked her immediately. She took great care of our girls and our home while we were away. She is very responsive and sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
“Corinne did a fantastic job watching our 8 month old Bernedoodle for the first time while my husband and I were out of town! She was communicative, sent us pictures, gave her lots of activity, and snuggles. Would definitely book Corinne again for dog sitting!!”
“I am thrilled with the care Denisse provides to my pets. I have one particular pet that is a bit more anxious and Denisse gives her all the extra loving she needs (I have 3 dogs). I couldn’t be happier and at ease when I am away from home that my pets (and home) are so well looked after. I am grateful to find such a trustworthy pet loving person like Denisse.”
“Cece was fantastic taking care of our old man kitty while we were away. She gave him lots of love, sent lots of photos, and stayed in constant communication with us. We recommend her. Thank you!!”
About: I am a patient, flexible, and understanding animal lover with a special connection to shy and nervous pets. I rescued my dog, Boone, and completed all of his training myself, which taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Building relationships with animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve had pets that normally hide from strangers come right up to me for attention and affection. I’m also very active and would be happy to take your pet on walks, adventures, or simply provide lots of love and companionship while you’re away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I love being active outdoors and would be happy to bring your pup along for walks and adventures! Currently, I am available for late afternoon and evening walks and can provide drop-in visits throughout the week as often as needed. I provide in-home pet care and am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, needs plenty of exercise, loves trips to the dog park, or prefers relaxing at home, I will tailor my care to their needs. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines, provide brushing and basic grooming, and keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. Throughout my visits, I’ll send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can feel connected to your pet and know exactly how they’re doing while you’re away. Just let me know what works best for your pet, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs while always being upfront about my abilities and comfort level.
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛
“Maria and Alejandra stepped in the middle of a dog sitting emergency while we were away. As soon as they arrived our dogs immediately calmed. They were wonderful and they knew exactly how to handle our young Mali/dutch mix and Great Pyrenees mix. We received daily updates and pictures seeing how happy our dogs were and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We had happy calm dogs when we came home. We cannot thank them enough for all they did. Highly recommend!!”
“Alexis is great all around. She is a pleasure to interact with, responsive, and sends timely updates. I could tell that all four of my girls and my pup felt comfortable with her and were well cared for. I would strongly recommend Alexis and look forward to her sitting my pack in the future!”
“Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.”
About: Ever since I was kid, I've always had pets so it was normal for me to know how to take care of them. I've had dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters and turtles and I've loved them all so much. Animals make my day happier and I have rarely encountered an animal that disliked me. I have a playful side when I meet them but I can also be strict and discipline them by telling them what not to do with the tone of my voice. In this way, I actually trained my older sister's dog to obey, sit, give a handshake, and respect me. I am a natural leader to these animals. I give them freedom to jump on the couch and play around the house or the backyard, but unless I tell them to, they cannot be in our beds. I can play, bathe, and feed your dog as well. I am sure we will have fun together and I will take care of them as if they were my own. ‼️‼️‼️‼️ On a side note, my calendar here may seem empty, but I might be pretty booked for the day with my other clients out of here, which is why it's really helpful to let me know ahead of time of your requests so I can accommodate you better 😊. I have a fenced yard and 2 playful doggies to keep your pup company. They all run around or play fetch until they're tired enough. Thank you in advance! This is my work full time for now, so I'm always home unless I'm running some errands to help out my family. Your dogs will never be unattended since my family also helps me watch them. Since I have a 2 story house, your pets are always on my watch because they sleep with me. You can bring their bed/blanket for them to sleep on as well if its more comfortable for them.
“Cotter was great with our two dogs! He helped us out in a crunch over the holiday weekend, was extremely responsive and provided a ton of updates. Our dogs were very comfortable with him, we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you Cotter!”
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.
About: I'll make sure your pet has the best time possible in your absence. I just love seeing happy animals, earning their sacred trust, and helping them become comfortable and confident❤️ I offer training, as well! And I'll gladly watch any pet, big or small. Both on and off of Rover, walking and training dogs is what I do most for work! So, my schedule is constantly changing to ensure every pet gets proper care. My biggest con is that I may be late because of spending extra time with client's pets, but I try to plan for it wherever possible! If a dog needs 10 more minutes, but my time is already up, I'm not just going to leave. I am very respectful of other people's homes, and always will be. I am not currently offering to pet sit in my home, as my family has allergies.
About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!

Katherine was excellent with my dog Javi while I was away for several days. She kept me updated and sent me photos throughout my trip. She was able to care for Javi on short notice which really helped out since my last sitter cancelled. I would definitely use her again in the future to care for Javi!
Alexandra was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely responsive, responsible, and kept us updated throughout Lou’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lou was well cared for and received lots of attention and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexandra again. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Mohegan is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $58 and $97 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 Mohegan 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 Mohegan 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 Mohegan 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
