“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Sarah was incredible with our 2 girls, Lucy & Ceviche. I am extremely particular about who watches my dogs, and I am happy to say that I would trust Sarah to watch mine any time. Strongly recommend.”
“Maddyn took care of our house and dog for us while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and brought in the mail and packages as needed. The house looked just as nice as we left it when we came home. We would hire Maddyn again.”
“Ava was communicative & accommodating throughout the weekend! She informed me when there was a family matter that came up and communicated a plan with me to cover a day when needed. My flight was delayed and pushed a day back which led to me getting back late and Ava offered to care for my pets that morning as well.”
“Brian really went out of his way to make sure our huskies had a fabulous time while he was pet sitting for us. Not only did he offer to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure they would both be comfortable with him staying with them in our home while we went out of town, but he was also very sensitive to and accommodating towards our dogs’ separation anxiety and took extra time with them to make sure they were feeling lots of love and security with us out of the house. He truly is a top notch pet sitter and he also has quite a gift when it comes to photography! The photos he sent us throughout his time watching our pups were studio quality and you can really tell that he has a passion for what he does. Not only did he take wonderful care of our dogs but he also even fed some of the neighborhood birds that usually come visit our backyard throughout the day. His calming demeanor was perfect for our anxious pups and his attention to detail in following all of our instructions both in terms of medication management for the pups and special considerations for the house as a whole were second to none. You can rest assured that if you are looking for a great pet sitter that you need not look any further than Brian!!! You might even find that he goes the extra mile by feeding your neighborhood crows, putting your trash/recycling cans out when he noticed it was collection day, and bringing in packages from outside your front door. Plus he is very neat and tidy which is a huge bonus when he leaves the space looking better than he found it in every room he walks through. Definitely a 5 star rating if I have ever seen one!!!”
“As always, Jasmine was absolutely wonderful and caring with our puppy, Ares! She takes such good care of him, plays with him, and pays close attention to all his needs. I love getting her updates and photos while we are away. We absolutely love Jasmine and cannot recommend her enough!❤️”
“Jayla did an absolutely amazing job. my fussy frenchie warmed up to her immediately, which was the most important thing!! in addition, the house is cleaner than when I left it!! amazing 👏 🤩 🙀. Already booked another stay.”
“Kali is amazing with our German Shepherd! She not only arrives on time, but is also very flexible — we really appreciated that she even arrived earlier upon a last-minute request. She prioritizes his care by taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first thing, practicing his commands, and following his schedule promptly. She keeps me informed throughout the day with important updates, which I truly appreciate. She also picks up all of his toys and makes sure our home is clean and tidy every time — I always come home to everything looking nice and clean. She is absolutely the best you can have caring for your puppy. We truly appreciate you, Kali! 🩵”
“This was our second time using Emma and hope she will be available for all of our future trips. Our Chihuahuas feel comfortable with her and they were snuggling with her. She takes real good care of them and this time had to give medications to one and she made sure she communicated about the times medication were given and when they were fed etc. She left our house clean and even washed the bedsheets from the guest bed. Which was more than expected.”
“Andrew is phenomenal and I’ll happily be requesting his service again soon :) he completed an in home stay with my pup and I know they took great care of him. He was incredibly flexible with my scheduled as well as Milo’s. Happy to have met Andrew and had great vibes on out meet and greet too!”
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 work mostly evenings. I am available most days, excluding Sunday, from 6 am until 3 pm for walks and drop in visits. I work Sunday mornings until around 5 pm and am available after that for walks and drop ins! As far as house sitting, I work most weekends and have a dog of my own. I have in the past stopped over to clients houses multiple times a day to care for their pets, but have not stayed in their home. If that’s something that you’re open to, I would be more than willing to help! 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. I am the crazy dog mom who is always making sure my baby is safe!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life, so caring for animals isn’t something I’m just trying out—it’s something that has been part of my life for decades. I’ve cared for pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. One experience that especially shaped how I care for animals was adopting a geriatric dog whose owners had passed away. Taking on an older dog taught me that sometimes the best pet care is simply being patient, paying attention to the little things, and making an animal feel safe and comfortable. What I bring to pet sitting is that same mindset. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—not like they're being "watched" by a stranger. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your dog wants to play all day, your cat prefers to observe from across the room, or your senior pet needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to work around their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and downtime. When house sitting, I’m able to make your pet a priority while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I understand that every pet is different—some need lots of activity and attention, while others are happiest with a quiet, comfortable presence nearby. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets and home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine, and I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs before their owner leaves. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, particularly with senior pets who may require a little extra observation. When house sitting, I keep the home secure, clean up after the pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable, safe, and confident while they’re away.
“Thank you both for taking care of Happy. You took good care of Happy and left the house in good shape and Happy is happy and I appreciate the extra effort you took with him and me. Robin 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Land O' Lakes
Yaritza was absolutely incredible! She came over the morning of our trip to spend time with our pups and go over their routines and everything they needed. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated on how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond! When we got home, we found that she had even changed the sheets on the bed she used and put the ones she slept on in the wash. Such a thoughtful gesture! We couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We loved having Yaritza take care of our pups and will absolutely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!
We are so happy with the kind of service Lindsay gives to our dog and our home. Not only was she incredibly conscious and communicative with us while we were away, we came back to a home that looked like we never left. This is the kind of person you want to entrust your animal and home with. We have another trip planned next month and know that we will have a sense of peace while we are gone for an extended time. Thank you girl for being the best sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Land O' Lakes is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $76 per night.

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 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.
