“Jack was the absolute best! He took the best care of my senior dog who has to get daily eye drops. I would highly recommend Jack if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, considerate, and animal loving. He sent me many photos while I was away which was very thoughtful. Can’t say enough good things about Jack!”
“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs big and small. I have some experience in senior dog care, because I had a dog from when she was a 1 years to 16 years old. Pet care is a big part of my routine since I work from home as a local artist, I am available on the weekdays and weekends. I treat every pet like a member of my family. I love taking them on walks, feeding them their meals, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. When pets stay in my home, I like to meet and greet them beforehand to help them feel comfortable with me and their new surroundings. Once I know they feel safe and settled, I welcome them with plenty of love, toys, cozy beds, and fresh water. If they’re staying for more than a couple of hours or overnight, I also provide food according to their owner’s instructions. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos while they’re away, and I’m happy to arrange a FaceTime call so they can see and interact with their pets whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I like to meet them and their family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. During this visit, I go over feeding routines, litter box care, medications, emergency veterinary information, family or friends to contact, and any other special instructions for their beloved pets. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels secure and well looked after.
“Amazing sitter! We came home to very happy animals! Ashley sent photos of our pets each day, took great care of our home, and even grabbed a few packages that were delivered while we were gone. She went above and beyond to clean the food and water bowls (was not a request we made) and got the cuddles of approval from our shy cat. She communicated with us well and clearly loves animals!”
About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.
“Mackenzie successfully hung out with my Sweet & SOUR cat over night. She sent several updates via pictures and videos! 10/10 recommend her to come love on your animals!”
About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I have been taking care of animals of all sorts for as long as I can remember. Cats, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, birds, dogs and fish. Animals deserve respect and each have their own boundaries and needs same as the family that takes care of them, communication is key and I endeavor to deliver. I have plenty of free time to use for good. And what better way then to spend it with pets? I am very flexible, I only need one day in advance, but if you have an emergency feel free to reach out, I might be able to help. I only do care in the client's home, and I follow the family's routine and instructions. I prefer not to interfere with established habits, to minimize stress on the animal. I have cared for different species of pets, played with them, walked them, fed them, cleaned after them and administered prescribed medication. Besides English, I also speak Spanish and Russian.
“Siddonie did an absolute AMAZING job taking care of our german shepherd, Luna! Our previous sitter cancelled the DAY OF our cruise while we were already boarding the ship so I was panicking, but Siddonie was able to drop everything and take care of our sweet girl. Luna is very shy and has a hard time eating her food right away, but Siddonie made her comfortable enough to get her to eat and I am so thankful. I would definitely rebook Siddonie in the future!!”
“Dream scenario— we had a young pup and older dog full of energy and Kaitlyn managed both like a dream. Excellent communications and made it a stress free experience, we’ve never had an in home sitter before. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I grew up around animals and helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, cattle, and even bees on my dad’s farm. That experience made me very comfortable around animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and following their normal routines. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in nursing school with a fairly flexible schedule outside of class and clinical days. I keep my Rover calendar updated and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week, including many mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Valerie was great! She showed up on time, sent updates while we were gone and left the house in great condition!! So happy to have found a great dog sitter we can trust and look forward to working with her again!”
“Julianna has taken care of our 12 year old Rottie, Mika, twice (house sat) and she is amazing! We definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter. She is attentive to Mika and her needs as she is a senior dog. We get a lot of updates and pictures throughout the day which is always nice while we’re away. We were nervous the first time since we didn’t know how it would go but didn’t not hesitate to book Julianna the second time.”
“Ketlie was/is wonderful! We returned home after a 10 day trip, and our dog Shine was happy and healthy, and our home was in perfect shape. Shine took to Ketlie immediately, and unlike with some previous sitters, didn't show any signs of anxiety or neglect upon our return. Ketlie's easy going personality, together with her clear understanding as to how to properly care for a pet, and our return to a spotless home all lead to our hope that she will be available for our future trips. Five star satisfaction, without a doubt!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have also had experience raising puppies and kittens. I love cats just as much. I have an 8 year old dog named Percy, and 10 year old cat named Toulouse who love and play with another all day! I have experience with dogs ranging from different sizes and personalities, but no matter what I know each dog is special.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Park
Jackson is our hands down go-to person for all dog care. He is just amazing with our 2 active dogs! He keeps them on their rigorous activity routine so that we always come home to relaxed, happy dogs. The house is immaculate, mail brought in, plants watered! We receive daily updates and photos. Our friends in the neighborhood always comment how he is out and about and so conscientious with the dogs and super friendly. It allows my husband and I to really relax and enjoy our trips, knowing that the dogs are so happy and in the best of hands.
I can not say enough about how wonderful Michael is. He is not only great with dogs, but is such a kind human being. I was in a jam and needed more coverage than I anticipated. Michael made it easy for me to not worry about anything. He regularly sent photos. My pup takes a bit to warm up and Michael was very patient with her. Michael took care of my dog in my home and when I returned it was just as I left it. He is awesome!!!!
Julissa did an outstanding job and was extremely professional. Not only did she step in last minute, but she was so affectionate with our puppy. We had complete peace of mind with getting updates and photos - which we really appreciated as we missed our puppy while away and it made it a little easier getting to laugh and smile at the videos of him along with the updates. Would highly recommend Julissa to anybody looking for a pet sitter and my wife and I are so thankful to have been introduced to her
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of little Sam. This is the first time I’ve left him in the 6 years that I’ve had him so I had so much anxiety. Samantha gave me peace of mind while I was away sending me constant videos and photos of Sam. She stayed overnight and made sure Sam felt comfortable and safe as well. I felt so much better having someone so responsible staying with my little baby. ❣️
Caylee is a godsend. For two trips in a row now, our flights were delayed with the possibility of cancellation, and she immediately offered to stay longer or for another day and eased our worries. She’s kind to my dog, sends lots of pictures, and is very communicative. We adore her.
Margaret and Amos were amazing dog sitters. They watched are two dogs for 9 days and we were so happy with the experience. Our two dogs felt right at home and comfortable with them right away, even our anxious dog who always takes a while to warm up. While we were away they sent us daily updates and pictures. The dogs had such a great time and we so loved while we were away. We will definitely use Margaret and Amos again!
Gabriela was a wonderful pet sitter while we were out of town for a week. She gave our pooch all the love and cuddles while we were away. She provided daily updates on their whereabouts and sent adorable photos of their outings. She left the house in immaculate condition and was very respectful to our home. 10/10 recommend! 🐶🐾🦴
Alejandra was great with our Yorkie, Cherry. She was very friendly, communicative, and made the whole process easy for us. Cherry seemed comfortable right away and everything went smoothly from drop-off to pickup. It gave us peace of mind knowing Cherry was in good hands. We would definitely trust Alejandra with Cherry again and highly recommend her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Park is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.
