“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!”
“This was the fist time I’ve been away this long from my pets, and Laura took excellent care of them! She messaged me often and sent adorable photos of my dog, snuggling with her. Both my cat and dog often slept with her, which shows how much they trusted and enjoyed her company. The house was spotless when I returned. I highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a caring, reliable and attentive pet sitter!”
“We have a brand new puppy and I was SO nervous to leave him. Blaise instantly put us at ease. She sent updates and took amazing care of our sweet boy it was evident he loved 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!🩵”
“Laura went way above and beyond my expectations! She went on numerous long walks with my dog Jane and I could tell they really connected. Laura is responsible and was super flexible with me as I had to extend my trip a few days. I will be using her 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!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover and devoted cat owner who understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I provide reliable, loving drop-in visits tailored to your cat's routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and plenty of affection. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit, so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility to provide dependable drop-in visits throughout the day. I make time for feedings, litter box cleaning, playtime, and check-ins while ensuring each cat receives individualized attention. I also send photo and message updates after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your cat's routine, respect your home, and make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure before leaving. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and provide plenty of love and attention while allowing shy or independent cats the space they need. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable until you return home.
“Jayla was great from the start. She was very communicative through the app when setting up our first meet and greet and continued after booking. We have two dogs and they were very comfortable with her. Jayla sent pictures and updates during her stay. She was also a great guest in our home and left the house better than we left it. I recommend Jayla and will be using her again!”
About: My family had both cats and dogs growing up! I love all animals and will love your fur babies just like my own. They are truly part of the family and should be treated as such. I am a server and only work evening’s. I have a pretty flexible schedule with a couple set days off and a few nights off a week. I have a dog myself and I always make sure my surroundings are animal proof. Nothing laying around that pets might get into by curiosity.
“Went on a trip for 10 nights (during hurricane Helene). Katie was great checking on our pups and she was so flexible and helpful to care for them! This was our fourth booking with Katie and we are so grateful to have found her!”
“April was great with your dogs!! She was very communicative and always kept me updated so I could have some peace of mind while I was out of town for work. I will definitely hire her again!”
“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!”
“Kelli went above and beyond to make sure our anxious kitties were taken care of and relaxed during our trip. She’s very personable and considerate. She sent lots of updates and followed all instructions. Even our scaredy cat loved her right away. Our cats and our apartment were in great condition when we returned. We would definitely use her again!”
“Carly is amazing!!! She took such good care of our pup and treated our house with so much respect. She sent a lot of photos and updates. We will not hesitate to have her watch our dog again. Thank you Carly!”
“Jai did an awesome job taking care of my babies while I traveled. My pup can be a little sassy but she warmed right up to Jai. I got multiple pictures daily and it was easy to trust that my pets were in great hands. Will definitely book Jai again!”
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).

We utilized Laura’s house sitting services and could not be happier! This was Laura’s first time with our 3 pups and she did a great job! Our busy pups were relaxed and happy when we came home! The house was left clean. She communicated well throughout the stay & sent lots of great pictures. 100% recommend Laura!
Lindsay did a great job house sitting over the weekend with our 3 pups. She kept them on their schedules. She spent time cuddling and exercising with them. We came home to happy relaxed pups and the house was as clean as we left it! We highly recommend Lindsay!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Land O' Lakes. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
