“Henry was amazing with our puppy. He kept us updated throughout and really brought peace to our dog while we were away. Would highly recommend his services and will be using him in the future!”
“It’s nice to go away and not have to worry about your pets .Its the third time I’ve used Mary Ann and she is punctual and keeps in touch with me .My house is always in perfect order when I come home 🙂”
“I only needed a sitter for one night, but I was so happy with how Tazzy was when I got home! Tazzy is an anxious pup and can be a little particular about new people and changes to his routine, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. When I came home, though, he was completely himself—happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could definitely tell he got plenty of attention and cuddles while I was gone. 🥰 Everything at home was just as I left it, communication was great, and most importantly, I came home to a happy Tazzy. That’s really the best review I can give a sitter! I would absolutely feel comfortable having her watch him again.”
“Thank you for taking good care of Sam! I felt very comfortable with her from the moment I met her at our meet and greet. We will definitely book her again.”
“Amanda is awesome… We were nervous about having a stranger watch our Stella girl. But we found out almost immediately that we had picked the right sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
“Catherine did an amazing job cat sitting my fur baby, I always get anxious leaving her but I know she was in great hands so I could be at ease. Catherine has really kind, warm energy, and a big heart. She sent lots of photos and updates, took great care of our home too. I will definitely rebook her in the future for when we travel. Thank you Catherine!”
About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
“Nicky was the most professional person. Arriving a few minutes early to ensure he got everything he needed done prior to arriving (securing parking, front desk reception etc.). Asked thoughtful questions about the care of our dog. Checked in throughout the day, and ensured our dog was walked throughout the day. Our dog LOVED him And even gave him her paw (which she only does when she is comfortable). You could tell he truly cares about dogs/animals. Anytime Nicky is free we’d love for him to sit our dog Bagheera any day. Could not ask for a better sitter.”
“Kara was so wonderful! She was extremely communicative and took amazing care of my dog Willow for 5 days. She is so kind and a true natural with dogs. She also took amazing care of my house, it was so clean when I got home. Definitely will be booking Kara again!”
About: I have had a pet companion for 35 years. I have raised 3 wonderful miniature dachshund. I have been pet sitting for almost 10 years now. I have cared for diabetic dogs as well as elderly ones. I am Semi-retired and available 6 days a week Mon-Sat. Sundays are possible for certain situations. I always try to accommodate for your pets specific needs. I live in a condo in Wilton Manors so therefore I can only accept small dogs for petting sitting at my home. Any size dog though for sitting for dogs in their home.
“Michele is 5 stars. Caring, reliable and sincere. Communication was excellent and she ensured that our elderly pup's needs were taken care of. So happy to know we are safe leaving our Toby in her care. Thanks again!”
“Ryan has now watched my elderly rescue for a few trips I’ve gone on as well as dropped in for day visits and walks. He is extremely professional, attentive, and warm with her and I am so lucky to have someone that I can trust with her care. I recommend Ryan 100000%.”
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Sean is awesome. He stayed with my two dogs for a week at my place. He kept in contact regularly and dealt with my older boy’s med schedule and younger boy’s weirdo anxiety. It was a huge relief to find a sitter who genuinely loves animals. My dogs are everything to me, but they’re needy little suckers, and they came through this week like a charm because of Sean.”
About: "I’m a passionate animal lover and proud pet owner who treats every dog with the same care and attention as my own. You can count on me to be dependable, punctual, and fully attentive to your dog's needs during every walk." Attentive to your dog's routine and walking schedule. I am always happy to adapt to whatever feeding or exercise routine your pet needs to feel happy and secure while you are away. Your dog's safety is my top priority. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I treat every client's pet with the same love, patience, and dedication as my own. I always ensure secure leash handling, stay alert during walks, and strictly respect all instructions for your home and pet."
“Its my first time using Rover and Reebah, and it was a great experience. Her communication gets +5 stars. She kept me informed, asked questions when there was doubt, and sent me pictures with updates. I definitely recommend her.”
“Robin is so great with our westie, she sends cute photo updates and we always come home to a happy pup and a clean home. We would highly recommend Robin! 🐾”
“Sandy is great with my 16yr very demanding girl 🐶 It was so nice to not have to worry about a thing while I was away and come back to a clean house and happy dog”
“Özlem did us a huge favor after we had someone cancel to watch little Koopa. They had a blast and he loved having her over and taking care of him! Thank you for sharing pictures and your time with our Koopa. We so appreciate you! Will definitely book with Özlem again!”

Hali was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures and even shared their walking routes, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up the apartment and doing the laundry before leaving. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Hali and will definitely be using her again! 🐾🩷
So easy to talk to and it is very clear he genuinely cared about my pups wellbeing and comfort. Great communication, sending pictures. I was worried to leave them in such a new place with our me but James took care of them like it was me doing it. He even came over multiple times to meet them. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have him back. Thank you james for being so good with them.
Michele stayed over with our dog Connie and she was wonderful, confident, communicative, and quick to respond to every message. She truly cared about Connie, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend her for house sitting, I would absolutely book her again!
Mei was amazing with our dog, Arya! She was available on short notice, kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, and even took Arya on the sweetest beach sunset outing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Arya was having such a great time while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mei again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lazy Lake on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lazy Lake. 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 Lazy Lake 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 Lazy Lake 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 Lazy Lake 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 Lazy Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
