Jack was a wonderful sitter for our Penny girl. He was kind and attentive through the whole process. I am a bit “extra” when it comes to my dog, I love her so much and as a result she has many needs. Jack was open to everything I needed and wanted for herder g our trip and even walked her longer and more often than I asked. I will definitely be contacting him again for other trips we take in the future!

Madeline did a great job watching my 2 cats! She was communicative, followed instructions, pulled in some Packages for me and most importantly has that calming personality around the cats and finds them fascinating. I will use her again!

About: Don’t see that I’m available when you’d like to book? Please feel free to message me, and I’ll see if I can accommodate. Thank you for your interest! PLEASE NOTE: I WORK A FULL-TIME JOB IN AN OFFICE (based in Juno Beach) and may not be able to check on your pets as frequently as you’d like, especially during the day. I have experience caring all kinds of animals, personally and professionally for more than 10 years. Growing up and through adulthood, my family always owned Golden Retrievers. When I was young, I expressed interest in animal care and owning my own pets, ranging from small mammals, birds, and reptiles. In my teenage years, I started out pet sitting for family friends and have continued to pick up pet/house sitting gigs whenever and wherever I can. I also have experience administering medication to some of the animals I’ve cared for. Professionally, I have worked at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility for two summers. At this facility, I was responsible for the care and socialization of dogs of various sizes and demeanors. I also worked at my local humane society caring for cats and dogs with different lead styles, temperaments and bite thresholds. I was responsible for providing the dogs with three walks a day. Through this job, I also have some experience with clicker training and administering bordatella and rabies vaccines to incoming stray dogs. Looking to make extra money doing what I love! I do work full time, so my most open days for all services are Saturday and Sunday. However, I can accommodate AM drop in visits any day of the week. And I am open to pet sitting in your home any day, as long I can work it around my full time job. I provide regular photos and updates to owners to build and instill trust. I also make sure to follow care instructions as written to ensure proper care as intended. And I make sure to bring a calm and confident energy when entering and inhabiting your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority!

About: I have over 14 years experience caring for pets. I bring a calm, attentive, and genuinely loving approach to every animal I meet. While I’m newer to dog sitting professionally, I’ve spent time volunteering as a dog walker and fell in love with their energy and personalities. I’m in pet care part-time. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to tailor my care to exactly what your pet needs! Whether that’s long walks, playtime, or a slower pace for senior pets. I love building trust with each animal and keeping their routine consistent. I can reinforce any training or commands you’ve been working on, and I can accommodate special care needs, like administering oral medications or giving extra attention. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own! They will be safe, cared for, and genuinely enjoyed. 😊 I’m currently a dog walker and pet sitter full time, so I have all of the time in the world for your pet. I’m available for walks 9am to 9 pm. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment which has plenty of sidewalks to walk around. I don’t have any pets at the moment, so you don’t have to worry about your dog not getting along with others.

About: I’ve been around dogs and pets for most of my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or sticking to a pet’s normal routine, I take pride in making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always focus on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. My schedule allows me to be available during mornings, late evenings, and overnight. I work in the afternoons and evenings, but I’m happy to work with pet owners to make sure their pets receive the care, attention, and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive the best possible care. I believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I understand that every animal is different, and I always approach pets with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their comfort level. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and responsibility that I would my own.

I booked house-sitting services with Julissa for my two Boston terriers. One of them being a senior pup that requires medication administration and has higher needs in general… Julissa was incredible with the both of them. She kept in consistent communication with me, sent multiple photos, took them on multiple walks, reached out responsibly with specific questions to ensure she was meeting their needs appropriately, and overall showed them a lot of love. She also left my house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Julissa for anyone needing pet care… I will definitely be using her again!

About: From a young age, my passion for animals has been a lifelong commitment. My deep connection began with rescuing a stray kitten at five years old, and since then, I have devoted my life to being a compassionate caretaker. This includes rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals I find, and regularly helping neighbors by caring for their pets. My entire life has been surrounded by animals, and I treat every one as if they are my own. I currently share my home with two dogs, whom I consider my world. My remote work arrangement provides a flexible schedule, which means I have the availability to seamlessly integrate pet care in to my weekly or daily routine. I have a fenced in yard and live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, allowing me to exercise your pets, by walking or letting them run loose in the backyard. When it comes to watching pets in clients home, I will adhere to there instructions, respecting there home and privacy.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My experience in customer service has taught me excellent communication skills, and I understand the importance of keeping pet owners updated and giving them peace of mind. I love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine by making sure pets are fed on a consistent schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I also keep their living area clean and monitor their health and behavior each day. Throughout the week, I set aside time for grooming, cleaning bedding and supplies, and making sure they have everything they need to stay healthy and comfortable. Providing reliable, compassionate care is important to me, and I enjoy creating a safe and happy environment for animals. I provide attentive and reliable pet care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. At my home, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and exercise under supervision. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions, keep the pet comfortable in their familiar environment, and ensure the home is left clean and secure. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to owners so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care. I enjoy sending regular photos and videos so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they're away.

About: I have taken care of my two small dogs since I was eight years old after years of begging for one. I love all dogs and understand each one has their own special needs, since my dogs each need different foods, toys, and levels of attention. I am available for night time walks and most every weekend. I know how picky I am about who takes care of my dogs when I travel so I know what it takes to be a trustful, caring pet sitter who will put you at ease of mine when you're away. I am very responsible and will make sure that your dog's care is a priority and that all of their needs are met. I’ve walked and sat for all different types of dogs while living in NYC and have a wide range of experience whether that be hyperactive dogs who need to get their energy out or senior dogs who need a little extra care. I am currently working 9-5 during the week so I am available for any nightly walks or checks in and on the weekends! The weekends I have more flexibility and am available to dog sit or for walks! I have an apartment that is safe for any pet and am a short walk to multiple parks and dog parks! I also am available to stay in a clients home and would respect any rules you have for your pets and your home, as I know how much trust is placed in a pet caregiver. I will make sure to meticulously follow any eating, sleeping, and cleaning habits for the dogs and will respect any home.

We were very happy with the in-home pet sitting services that Brenda provided for our senior dog for a 12-day trip to Europe. When our dog was younger, we would board him in other places. Since he is now 12 years old, it is easier for him to stay in our home and have someone come to stay with him. Brenda came to meet Hunter before our trip, so we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home with our dog. Hunter seemed happy when we returned home. We highly recommend Brenda as a pet sitter since we had a very positive experience with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Park on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,818 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Park. 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 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 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 Park. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
