“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Shelby! This was our first time using a dog sitter who wasn’t a family member, and we were a little nervous at first — but Shelby completely put our minds at ease. She took great care of our dog and sent multiple photos every day so we always knew how he was doing. It was clear she treated him with kindness and attention, and we came home to a happy pup and a clean home. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Charish watched my little guy again while I traveled for my job. My pup was calm and happy when I got home and house was spotless! She even took care of some house stuff when weather was coming in. Thank you Charish for being the most awesome pet/house sitter!!”
“This was our second time with Courtney! She did an amazing job during our potential ice/snow storm. It means everything to feel comfortable about your dog & home!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very attentive for our pup. She communicated any questions she had as well as frequent updates. She also even brought Pickles a pup cup (with permission). We would definitely recommend her!”
“Courtney took wonderful care of our aged dog and our home during our vacation. Our dog's advanced age took special care and attention, and she worked with him, convinced him to eat, adjusted his diet as needed, gave him walks in the rain, and helped him deal with our absence. Many thanks to Courtney!”
“LOVED having Kathryn stay with our precious pup!!! We are new to the area and haven't gone on a trip or even been away from our dog in over 2 yrs. After reading all the raving reviews about Kathryn and noticing her flexible schedule, we knew she'd be a perfect fit! She gave our dog tons of attention and took great care of her. She had such a blast with Kathryn. We look forward to using her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else!”
“First time using Rover, but this was a wonderful experience for our senior girls. Kaitlynn helped us to have a stress free weekend by giving our girls lots of love and attention. She sent pictures too. We will be contacting her again. 🐶🐶”
“Brittany is our absolute hero. She was able to watch our senior dog last minute after our other sitter couldn’t make it, and saved our whole trip. Our dog is older, blind, and needs medication so I was nervous about leaving him, but Brittany’s top notch care made me feel so at ease. She sent us daily updates and photos of our pup, kept the house clean, brought on packages, and gave us so much peace of mind. She is a shining star and took such good care of our little old pup and home. After a long day of traveling, it felt amazing to come home to a clean house and happy pup. I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll definitely be return clients.”
“We needed to find the perfect person to watch our two four legged kids in our home for a long trip, and we absolutely met the one. Toni met our gregarious Newfoundland and our somewhat shy Bassett, and they all fell in love with each other. Toni stayed in our house (so the dogs were comfortable lol) and it couldn’t have worked out better…the pups were right at home, Toni was able to keep an eye on our place, and she left the house cleaner than when she got there. We are completely comfortable with Toni, so grateful for her communication (daily pics and videos !) and trust her with our fur babies and our home. Can’t say enough about how we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Toni had things handled at home. Strongly recommend Toni, we will be happily asking her to help us again for our next trip. Thank you Toni, and Walter sends his best howl to you ?❤️?”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Huntter did a wonderful job keeping my dogs and house safe and loved. He was able to spend the night and my dogs loved him. My house was spotless when I arrived home after 8 days away. Thank you Huntter!”
About: I have always been an animal lover since a very young age. I always had pets growing up and helped with their care. I worked as a grooming assistant while I was in college and absolutely loved it. I could provide one on one care for that animal and love. I sometimes wish I would had went into that field of work, because I definitely have that passion. I provide a laid back environment for the pet, so they can be comfortable. I encourage bringing their toys and maybe a blankie so they have something familiar. I enjoy going on walks and playing fetch with them. I would make a great sitter or walker for your beloved pet. Thank you! My schedule as of right now is mostly flexible. I work for myself so I am in and out throughout the day. The longest I’m gone at a time is usually under 4 hours. I have several animals at my home currently so staying at your home to care for your baby is preferred. So let’s get you booked!!
“Lindsay was great! She cared for our pug Percy for 5 days and provided lovely updates. We had many communications before the sit and during - Lindsay is quick with texts and communicates clearly. We arrived home to a happy pup and everything in the house left clean and orderly. Big plus is she will take amazing photos of your pets! We would welcome Lindsay back any time!!”
“I entrusted Ami with my fur babies while my husband and I went out of town for a few days and she was wonderful!! Ami took great care of my babies and sent me updates throughout her stay at our home with them. I would have her watch them again and again if the need arises she is absolutely fantastic and very sweet! She went above and beyond while she stayed and my house was exactly as we left it. Ami was even kind enough to bring in our trash bins once trash was picked up. Thank you again Ami I know I left them in good hands and it made my time away so much less stressful knowing they had you to keep them company 😊”

I can’t say enough good things about Cierra! I don’t even think I can express in this review how amazing she is. She was the absolute best dog sitter we could have possibly found. From the initial meet and greet, I knew she was the one! My dog takes a while to warm up to people, that wasn’t the case with Cierra. I truly feel like she connected with my dog, and enjoyed the time with her. My dog acted as if we never left, and that is how I knew she loved Cierra. I never had to ask for an update, nor did I worry about my little girl while we were out of the country. Cierra sent plenty of updates and the cutest pictures. She took amazing care of our home, she even washed my dishes and sheets and put a clean set on for us knowing we would get home super late. I honestly feel like I’ve gained a friend!! I will book with Cierra over and over again anytime I need a sitter!!!! She is a wonderful person all around :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakesite on Rover is $41.02 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 474 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakesite. 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 Lakesite 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 Lakesite 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 Lakesite 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.

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.
