“Susanne is such a blessing! She was able to house sit with our 3 pups in a last minute time of need. We appreciate her very much! She is professional & respectful to say the least! 110% recommend!”
“Laura was absolutely fantastic! We had never left our dog before and were pretty nervous since she’s a rescue and can be shy. Laura was amazing! She won Lilly over quickly and kept us updated the whole time with lots of messages and photos. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Truly so thankful for her and highly recommend her!!”
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Jasmine was honestly such a blessing… I didn’t have to worry about my dogs at all and they were absolutely loved as if they were her own. I got constant updates and I felt very comfortable that I didn’t have to worry. She was super reliable and a pleasure I would definitely book again.”
“Jill is wonderful with our dogs! We have rebooked Jill 4x now and have had great experiences overall. Jax and Louie are not too energetic but they love to cuddle and Jill cuddles with them all the time. Jill is always home with our babies when we go on work trips or even holidays! We definitely recommend booking her for your pet sitting needs!”
“LAURA IS AMAZING! This is the longest we have left our dogs and I was very very nervous. Laura not only did a few drop ins at the last moment while we were there to help ease my mind, but also my dogs LOVED her for the full two weeks she stayed. Laura will stay as our number one Rover sitter. Thank you again.”
“Blaise was great! She kept in contact with me and sent me multiple pictures. She followed all instructions for Athena’s care. We are so thankful that Athena was cared for by such a caring person. Athena absolutely loved Blaise!”
“We are beyond grateful for Jayla! She took amazing care of our two Sphynx babies while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages every visit. Thank you!!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Maddyn was great with my pets. She was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates. She asked questions when needed. She brushed Bear and Dakota, shook out their beds. She swept and bought the mail in everyday. She let me know I received a package that had to be refrigerated and she put it in the fridge for me before I even had a chance to let her know about it. I will use Maddyn again!”

“Katelyn has been great with Ares, especially as she’s still getting to know him. She does a wonderful job keeping me informed on his behavior and is very communicative while navigating the challenges that come with the puppy stage. I truly appreciate her effort, patience, and willingness to work with him. Thank you for everything, Katelyn! 🩵”
“Annaliese and her son were great with my dogs. One of my dogs had shut down the last time I went out of town, so I was very worried that he would be ok with a new sitter. Annaliese sent me photos and updates on both my dogs and the garden which I was worried about due to the drought we had been having in April and part of May. She sent photos and luckily it rained a lot while I was gone. Both my dogs were looking happy when I returned home as well as in the photo updates she sent. Since she works her job online, she was able to be a stable presence while I was gone which worked out very well. I would hire her again, and recommend her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Land O' Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Land O' Lakes on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,599 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Land O' Lakes. 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 Land O' Lakes 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 Land O' Lakes 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 Land O' Lakes 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.

- 98% 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.
