“Monica was a blessing to have take care of Lulu! She sent me pictures and videos daily letting me know that Lulu was in good hands. The house was left clean and she even washed and dried her sheets. Would definitely recommend Monica to take care of your 4 legged family members!”
“Erica was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet and took great care of both of our dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She sent multiple updates with pictures of them throughout the day. She stayed at our house and the place was spotless when we returned. My dogs were very comfortable around her and got lots of cuddles while we were gone. I will definitely reach back out to Erica again when needed!”
“Brittany was excellent. I felt comfortable having her care for my dog and cat. She went above and beyond. Especially, with my dog who was not easy to care for. She communicated with me everyday and was on time. Also, she sent pictures of my babies to show they were in great hands. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Andy was really great with our shy kitties. One of them started to warm up to him towards the end of the week. Both kitties ate well and were happy to see my wife and me when we cane home. We will definitely use Andy again.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Magalay is so great with our animals. She’s super responsive, and takes the most beautiful photos while she’s house sitting. I never have to worry about how our fur baby is doing while out of town as she keeps us updated and my dog absolutely loves her (and she only loves her family). I can’t thank her enough for all the time and care she gives and she’s even amazing with our 18 inch bearded dragon! Highly recommended and I’m so pleased I found her and she agreed to be our pet sitter!”
“Jillian was a great sitter and companion for Potter! She was thorough and kept me in the loop with everything going on at home, which allowed me to know he was well-looked after and I could enjoy my time away. I would love to have her look after Potter again in the future!”
“Laura took great care of my dog and my house. She sent lots of updates and followed all my instructions. Laura was very respectful of my home and left it as clean as it was prior to house sitting. I would definitely recommend using Laura for your pet sitting needs.”
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”
“Meghan was amazing! Our dog loved her and she made sure he is comfortable and happy while we were gone. She sent us multiple updates with pictures of our sweet little pup. She followed all his feeding and walking routines to the t and communication was stellar. We couldn’t be happier. Our Shurik definitely found a new friend.”
“I can't say enough good things about Shalisha. From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure my furry family members were well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. She sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets were relaxed and content when I returned, a true testament to the excellent care they received. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend Shalisha. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Victoria was great! She knew how to read my dog so well, made sure to understand his needs, and was communicative with updates. I will definitely use her again.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! Finding someone you truly trust with your pet can be stressful, but she made the entire experience completely worry-free. She treated our dog with so much love, patience, and genuine care from the moment she met him. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and appreciated the thoughtful updates while we were away. She watered our plants and left our home neat and tidy the way we left it. I would give more than five stars if I could! We would recommend her in a heartbeat and can't wait to book with her again!”

About: I am a total dog lover! My husband and I rescued our dog Roscoe almost 6 years ago. He is one of the most spoiled dogs I know and is a huge mama’s boy. We enjoy hiking together, and going on walks and for runs along the local greenways in Charlotte and in the neighborhood. He enjoys having other dogs to play with and we pet sit for a few friends and neighbors when they go on vacation, having their dog come and spend time in our home. They always get excited when I pick them up and go home tired from all our walks and outdoor play in our fenced in yard. I send pictures and updates daily. We love spending time playing with other dogs, especially Roscoe! I’m a special education teacher and my husband works in the restaurant business, so he’s home most days and I’m home after school and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your fur baby active. We are happy to crate your dog when we are not here/at night if this is what they’re used to. Otherwise, we block the stairs off when we need to leave with Roscoe upstairs and your pet downstairs.

Words cannot describe how phenomenal of a pet/house sitter Carson is! She went above and beyond for our entire 9 day trip, taking the most incredible care of our animals. Our cat had recently been diagnosed with diabetes right before our trip, and she was so observant about any changes in behavior and managed the insulin administered beautifully. Our dog is absolutely obsessed with her too! She is an excellent communicator, followed every direction to a t, and is so thoughtful. When we returned from our trip she had completely deep cleaned all the common spaces and the guest room she stayed it, even offering to do the laundry. I seriously cannot recommend her enough - we will definitely be rebooking her every opportunity we get!!
Melissa was amazing help with our two Goldens. Not only did she provide great for them but she also helped us out with very short notice. I never felt worried about our pups and am so grateful to have such peace of mind while being on vacation. Will definitely use Melissa again!
Alina was absolutely amazing with our dog, Nala! Nala is an anxious dog, so it was very important to us that she wasn't left alone. Alina spent all of her time with Nala and didn't leave her alone during the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took Nala on lots of walks, and it was obvious how happy and well cared for she was. We received so many beautiful photos and regular updates, so we always knew exactly how Nala was doing When we came home, the house was absolutely spotless. Honestly, it looked like no one had even stayed there. Everything was perfect. Alina, thank you so much! 💛Everything was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would trust you with Nala again in a heartbeat
Brittany was great with rex. She sent me daily pictures of him and he looked happy and relaxed. During her stay with rex he did develop a sore on one of his paws but Brittany kept me up to date with him daily and even went so far as to get him a cone to prevent further issues with his paw. I would recommend Brittany as a house sitter and dog sitter any day.
Cassie took wonderful care of our one-year-old Australian Shepherd mix and our 16-year-old cat. Frankie is full of energy and needs lots of exercise and attention, and Cassie handled it all with ease, sharing great photos and updates along the way. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands and will definitely be using her services again!
Aby was wonderful, we could tell our potatoes were treated with as much care as we normally do. Momo kept going back to the guest room afterwards looking for her. She followed our instructions and we have no complaints. Our place was left clean, and she even left out a thawed dog food packet for us in the fridge. It was really nice coming back from a trip without feeling overwhelmed about making sure we had the little stuff to take care of. We definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again for our next trip. Thank you much Aby!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Park on Rover is $55 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 2,893 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
