“Matthew did a great job house sitting with king for the weekend, he left my house better than he found it not only that sent me the cutest pics of king along the way and was very respectful, friendly, and prompt anytime I contacted him. 10/10 would recommend Matt. Thank you again!”
“10/10 stars! I always get nervous leaving town and having people watch my pets; Olivia put my mind at ease and was so amazing! I did not stress at all while she watched them, i loved getting pictures of my dog and cats while I was away. I will absolutely be having her watch my fur babies again! My dog loved her from the second she walked in my door, and my cats did great with her as well. I am so pleased! Thank you so much Olivia!”
About: I’ve enjoyed being around animals/pets ever since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life and am looking forward to interacting with new people/pets. I have been working in senior living homes and know how to adjust to different needs. I am a student and currently prn at my part time job. This is a way for me to make some money doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m typically available afternoons during the week and open availability Friday-Sunday. I am open to pet sitting at your house and dog walking. I can ensure I will take proper care of your pet and treat it as I would my own. The needs of your pet will always come first! I will always encourage walks and playtime!
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful! She takes amazing care of my 3 dogs, all who require an extra watchful eye and care. She played with them and gave them lots of attention while I was gone. She followed all of my feeding and medicine instructions. My German Shepherds love her! I’d definitely recommend Jordan!”
“Are dogs are not bad dogs but there are 3 of them and they are all rescues and they have their own quirks. They love Lori and we cannot ask for anything more. She takes care of them and keeps us updated and they are happy when we get back. Lori is great!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers, a pit bull, and cats all around! All of the animals i’ve owned have lived to senior ages, so I am aware of what may need done to love the older guys a little extra! I’m also aware of what puppy training or walking may look like. I’ve trained and raised three of my own dogs as well. I am currently working full time, but my hours may vary per day! I am available for dog walking/drop in visits early morning and afternoon/evening! Currently our day starts with a potty trip and around ten minutes of enrichment before going into kennels for work! Once I am home, we are at a park or on a walk daily! My girls eat once in the morning and once in the evening. Our evening then finishing with a final potty break and settling into bed!
About: I’m not sure that there’s one specific thing that would set me apart from other caregivers however, my best buddy Trouble crossed the rainbow bridge in February. Trouble was a 13 year old Weimaraner that my daughters & I rescued during Covid. Currently, Im not ready to be a dog mom just yet but I am ready to fill the empty space in my heart! I miss having a fur baby to walk with & playing in the yard. I have experience with large breeds , rescues, and seniors. I do work a full-time job Monday through Friday but I work a hybrid schedule & on the weekends I am an early riser so I could start as early as 5 AM. I am soon to be an empty nester and recently lost my fur baby. I am looking to keep busy with some new free time! In my clients home, I will care for their animals just as they do & keeping with their routine. If their dog needs belly rubs , quiet time, snuggling time & playing with & walking, I will do it all!
About: My name is Holly. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.
About: Hello, I'm Abigail. I am a huge animal lover and would love to have more animals involved in my day to day life. I currently have a dog of my own and find it easy to keep up with him and would love to work with plenty of dogs. I sadly can not get anymore myself and find this to be an awesome compromise. And a nice way to bring in a little more cash to be able to spoil my babies more. I am currently doing odd jobs for friends and neighbors as a source of income so my schedule is very flexible. I have my own vehicle and have about 2 years of experience in house sitting. So I feel I understand the responsibility and respect required to look after someone's home and pets. Thank you. Abigail

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys etc. I have always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being that trusted person with others fur babies. I truly see pets as family and treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I would give any person. I will treat your dog like family — because that’s exactly what they are. I currently have a very flexible schedule and would truly love to make caring for your fur baby a special part of my daily routine. I am available for dog walking or in-home care services. While I can’t bring pets into my home due to having a cat, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment often helps pets feel more relaxed and secure. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your home, gates, and fencing are always secure while your pet is in my care.
“Jessica did an amazing job taking care of Rosa! She followed all instructions perfectly, kept Rosa happy and comfortable, and left everything in great shape. I felt totally at ease knowing Rosa was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for as long as I can remember. In addition, I have extensive volunteer experience at local animal sanctuaries such as Forever Amber Acres, Medina SPCA, Found House Cincinnati, and Cats Off the Square Medina. I have taken care of all types of animals through these jobs, and there has never been one I haven’t adored. Helping animals feel safe and cared for is my top priority. I am currently a senior at Kent State University, I have a full class schedule and another job but am available for drop in visits during weekdays and long term sitting on weekends! I will follow your instructions on what is best for your fur baby!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Slagle
Patience was fantastic- both of my pets were well taken care of with lots of updates which gave me real peace of mind. My cat can be particularly difficult, but Patience was able to earn his trust and navigate his 'glowing' personality and medication schedule. I would highly recommend.
Bella was super sweet with Bronson while I was out of town and took great care of him. He has special dietary needs, and his digestion after her time with him was in great shape! She was respectful of my home and incredibly clean. I could tell Bronson was a little sad when she left lol. Will hire again!
Lexy took wonderful care of our one-year old Corgi…taking her for walks, playing with her, and following all our instructions. She clearly loves dogs! Lexy is professional, personable, and thoughtful; and she kept our home spotless. We highly recommend her and would use her again.
Megan is absolutely amazing! This is the third time she’s stayed with our girls for multiple overnights, and I honestly can’t imagine using anyone else. She takes such incredible care of them, and it’s obvious they absolutely adore her. She communicates throughout the entire stay, sends the BEST updates and photos (seriously, they’re frame-worthy!), and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Being able to truly relax on vacation because we know our girls are safe, loved, and spoiled is priceless. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups, and that says everything. We trust Megan completely and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. We can’t wait to book with her again!
Emmalee watched our Great Dane and Chihuahua for a week while we were visiting family. We usually take our dogs everywhere but needed to fly this time. Our Chi does not warm up to people very easily, but there we were getting a picture of her sitting with Emmalee on the couch! She was familiar with handling a Great Dane and their quirky behavior, which made us feel comfortable as well. Emmalee is reliable, kept us updated, kept the dogs happy, and even cleaned up after them.(Sorry about that Emmalee. Thanks for cleaning up the dog bed 😬) We will definitely use her again if she'll have us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Slagle is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $62 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 Slagle 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 Slagle 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 Slagle 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
