Shirley is amazing and my Hank was so well taken care of! It can be difficult leaving your loved one, but it was such a pleasant experience not having to worry about whether my dog was being properly cared for. I would definitely recommend Shirley to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

About: I have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I have cared for dogs of different ages, from energetic puppies to elderly dogs with medical needs, and I am very open and comfortable providing extra attention and following specific care instructions when needed. My experience includes caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, including Great Danes, Yorkies, Dachshunds, and Border Collies. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and level of care, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and will treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I would want for my own. I currently work in an office Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I am available for pet care after work during the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can be flexible when arranging care in advance. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, so I do my best to follow each owner’s schedule and instructions closely. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special medical or behavioral needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.

Ryeleigh stayed out our house for three nights to take care of our dog and cat. When we got home, they both seemed happy and were not stressed out at all that we had been gone. The house was clean and tidy and Ryeleigh even took the sheets off the bed and put them in the washer for us. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great house and pet sitter and we will definitely book her again!

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs. Unable to stay overnight. I am available from 7:00am - 11:00pm daily. I offer extended drop-in visits—perfect for your vacation or pups who need more time, attention, or multiple visits throughout the day lasting hours. I’m also happy to help with light home care like bringing in mail, trash or watering plants while you’re away. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or longer stays, I’m flexible and here to help make your life easier and your pets happy! Please request and send a message with your specific request and we can work on accommodating the needs of you and your family pets. My goal is to accommodate the service that is least intrusive to your dog and will attempt to maintain the same schedule/activities as normal, including walks, playtime, feeding, and entertainment that is designed to replicate their current situation. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Brooke. I am an avid dog lover! I offer dog sitting, dog daycare, and walks. Professionally, I have worked at several dog daycares as a handler. My daily duties were to supervise around 20 dogs at one time, feed, and administer meds. I am equipped with the knowledge of dog body language and dog safety. Personally, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, being the primary caregiver. I have even fostered some exotic animals such as bearded dragons and ferrets. I am passionate about the care of all animals! I am working full time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to care for your pet. On my off time, I would love to provide care and comfort for your fur baby as you take the time to do what you need to do with peace of mind. I want to provide a calm and safe environment for your pet. Bring their favorite toys, blankets, bed over and my home will become theirs for a few hours!

About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a devoted dog owner for nearly my entire life and understand that every dog deserves patience, love, and dependable care. I had the privilege of loving my dog, Pirate, for 14 wonderful years, and I've cared for my Labrador, Milo, for the past six years. They have taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and recognizing each dog's unique personality and needs. After recently saying goodbye to Pirate and helping my daughter by returning Milo to her care, my home in Florida has become much quieter. I genuinely miss the companionship that dogs bring, which is why I decided to join Rover. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a safe and loving place while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in kind, responsible, and experienced hands. I work full time typically 4 days a week. I am home during work days after 4:30pm. I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a partially fenced in backyard, but access to the left of my home to my neighors, it is a small backyard and very safe. I also have a dog park for walks and exercise.

I just got back from a long trip and Hailey took the BEST care of my dog, Maisy. Maisy has separation anxiety, but she loves Hailey so much and feels very comfortable with her. Hailey treats Maisy like her own dog, and she provides the best updates! 😁 Hailey kept Maisy happy and active while I was gone with many walks, backyard trips, and fun playtime. I am an anxious and pretty particular owner, but I feel 100% confident with Hailey watching my dog. When I arrived home, all of Maisy's nighttime activities were done (dinner fed, fur brushed, & teeth brushed) and the house was even cleaner than I left it. I would highly recommend Hailey, and I will definitely be hiring her again soon! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Monroe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Monroe on Rover is $49.95 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 2,813 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Monroe. 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
