“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.”
“Once again, Marianne was there for me so I could enjoy a night out with my husband and support him. I’m so grateful for her—I trust her completely with my little puppy. She’s amazing, always there when I need her, and always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she can. She even brought me two key litters—how thoughtful is that?”
“Outstanding doesn't even begin to describe the incredible job Italia did! She is warm, funny, affectionate, incredibly responsible, and an absolute natural with animals. She bonded so beautifully with my two hairless cats while house sitting that I'm beginning to suspect my little demons would rather live with her than me! I received wonderful updates every day, and what impressed me most was how conscientious she was. She never hesitated to text with a question because she genuinely wanted to make sure my cats received the very best care possible. And as an added bonus, she actually left my home in better shape than she found it! That kind of thoughtfulness and dedication is priceless. My advice? Don't even bother looking anywhere else! Italia, the Cat and Dog Whisperer, is the one you want! She's so delightful, charming, and absolutely adorable that you'll love her as much as your pets will. And perhaps the best endorsement I can give? I've already booked her again in two weeks! Italia, you're a gem! Maddy and Caspurr say come back soon! (Actually, what they meowed was, "Can we move in with you?")”
“Victoria did a great job of keeping me informed. She really made an effort to connect with Spencer, but unfortunately, he didn’t reciprocate. She sent me a video of him eating from his bowl, so he was somewhat comfortable with her, which was good to see.”
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter and yard cleanup, and giving medications when needed. I understand how important routines and trust are, and I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and responsive, with regular updates to keep owners at ease. I am retired and available anytime. I consider pet sitting to be my long lasting hobby. I do not consider it to be a job. I prefer not to sit pets in my home. I have 3 of my own between me and my sons. I prefer to keep your babies in their own environment.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 14 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m also a proud pug mom to two of my own! From pugs and doodles to pit bulls and Dogos, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs through family, friends, and loved ones. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they deserve the same quality care, patience, attention, and love we’d want for our own pets. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. I’ll treat them like one of my own, follow their routine, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention while they’re in my care. I also wfh so it’s easy for me to care for animals :) I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care! Monday through Friday, I’m available for walks before 10 AM and after 5 PM. For drop-in visits, my schedule is even more flexible. As long as there’s Wi-Fi, I can work remotely and spend time with your pet throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, meals, or cuddles depending on what they need. I’m respectful of your home and will always keep you updated while your pet is in my care. I do have two pugs of my own, so boarding in my home may also be available on a case-by-case basis depending on your pet’s personality, needs, and compatibility with my pups.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and honestly, sometimes I prefer them to people! I’ve had dogs ranging from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers (always had a soft spot for big dogs). I’ve also had my cats, Parker and Victor, for the past 12 years. One is extremely needy and the other could not be more independent, but they’re both very loving. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us because mine are a big part of my life. Because of that, I’m looking to get to know some new furry friends and give them the same kind of attention and care I’d want for my own while their parents are away. P.S: If your pet likes cuddles they’ll love me! I’m currently working my full time job, and I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. However, with enough planning I could make most schedules work. Nobody knows a pet better than the pet parent so I’m very adamant on following any rules and pointers I’m given, the same way I’d expect my pet sitter to listen to my guidance.
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.
“Jackie was wonderful (again) with our two dogs while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands, which made it much easier to relax while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with our dogs again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets through my life- dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, even bunnies. I am a foster mom with experience fostering young kittens, administering medications, and giving them a safe space to grow. I currently have some days off during the week, so I have some extra time to provide pet care! I am also available on the weekends. I care for pets in their own homes in addition to house sitting! I can spend the night or pop in throughout the day according to your preference.
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”
“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”
About: I currently have two regular clients who trust me to care for their dogs, and I’ve become their go-to sitter whenever they need help. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time so I am almost always available on the weekends. I am pretty flexible so for those last minute needs you can count on me! I myself have beautiful Labrador retriever dogs who I give all my attention to and always make sure they are always cared for. I also make sure that my animals are properly house trained.
About: I have had dogs since I was young, and throughout my life, I have also looked after dogs for family and friends and I would love to be able to look after other dogs. I have classes on weekday mornings. From 3:00 PM on Fridays through the weekend, I am free to look after dogs. Right now, my routine focuses mainly on my studies, and in my free time, I spend time with family or friends unless I am busy dog sitting When caring for pets in my home, I focus on each dog's specific needs and their owners' instructions. I enjoy playing with them, treating them with love, and making them feel safe while they are away from home. My place is pet-friendly and features a small yard, providing plenty of space for the dogs to play and relieve themselves comfortably. Additionally, the neighborhood is great for dog walks, and the interior of my home is a safe environment for them.
“Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with small and medium-sized dogs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention. I treat every pet with kindness and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’m currently a full-time college student, and pet care fits perfectly into my weekly schedule. I’m available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as Mondays before 3 PM, for dog walks and drop-in visits. I have flexible availability during those times and am happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for their pups. 🐾 During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow all instructions provided by you, including feeding routines, walking preferences, and any special care needs. I’ll keep your pup supervised, secure on their leash, and give them plenty of attention and affection while they’re in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages, and I’m happy to call or FaceTime during the visit so you can check in and see how your pup is doing. 🐾
About: Experienced with neighborhood dog walking, cat care, and routine feeding schedules. I’ve also cared for young puppies and kittens, so I’m well-versed in the extra patience, close supervision, and gentle routine young animals need. I'm currently a full time college student, so I'll be available to take care of your pet most days of the week at any time(except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). When caring for a client's pet in their home, my top priority is to make sure doors/gates are securely closed, all instructions/routines are followed and that the space is treated respectfully.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lazy Lake is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lazy Lake
Maddie went above and beyond watching my baby girl. Kolby isn’t the easiest girl to take care of; she’s old, stubborn, and loves her specific routine, but Maddie handled everything perfectly while keeping me totally updated the whole time. I also came home to clean sheets and everything spotless. Would absolutely recommend Maddie to watch and care for your fur babies!! Thank you Maddie!!
I am blown away by how amazing Kristina is! I wish I could give her more stars! She looked after my cat and dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my babies. She was amazing at sending pictures every day, answered fast every time, brought them treats and genuinely seemed to love them so much! She house sat and left it perfectly clean. She definitely goes above and beyond and you can tell she really cares about the animals. I truly can’t say enough great things! I highly recommend Kristina. I’ll be a repeat client for sure!
Simply put, Sara is the best dog sitter I've ever used! She being a dog mom to big dogs herself instantly put my mind at ease. She made sure she asked all the questions, knew exactly what my girl needed, and completely made me feel so comfortable. I was overseas for a week and had anxiety beforehand about how my dog would do without me that long but Sara made sure I was completely informed and able to enjoy my trip. Lucy is so excited to now have Sara as a sitter!
Jennifer did a great job watching my home and my pet. She was responsive, communicative and very pleasant to work with. Arrived to a couple of appointments on time. Loved the pictures of our little one as we were away for 10 days and missing her. We will definitely request Jennifer again when we go on our next adventure.
I can’t say enough good things about Özlem! Christopher is 14, so leaving him with someone new is always nerve-wracking, but she made it so easy. She took such good care of him and sent us frequent photo updates, so we never had to wonder how he was doing. What stood out most was how calm Christopher was with her. Senior dogs can be sensitive to new people and routines, and he was completely relaxed and comfortable the whole time. You can tell she really cares. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Maggie is the best!!! We are so happy that we found her and she was able to stay and take care of our dog, Benji. Benji can be a bit skiddish and he warmed right up to Maggie. We can tell that he was really well looked after. She was a great communicator and sent us updates throughout our trip. She watched Benji at our house and left our place spotless. Would 100% recommend! Your pup will be in great hands.
Michele is wonderful! We have had her watch our dog a few times now and she always does a wonderful job! She was also really accommodating for us when we had to make a change. She’s done both house sitting and drop ins and she is always on time and follows the instructions perfectly. I would highly recommend Michele.
I can’t say enough great things about him! He stepped in to care for my three babies while my regular full-time sitter was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He came highly recommended by my regular sitter, and from day one he made the transition completely seamless. He followed all of their routines and instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and most importantly, Leia, Luke, and Vader absolutely loved him. 🐾❤️ I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my dogs, especially when I’m traveling, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in his hands. Coming into someone else’s established routine and handling everything so effortlessly says a lot. Reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover. I would absolutely have him watch my babies again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.
Brunna was amazing. Brunna house sat for me while I was out of town for the Labor Day weekend and did an amazing job looking after Meeko and Stitch. Brunna came over to meet my babies and give her a walk through of my apartment a couple days I went out of town. It was immediately clear her kindness and sweetness was recognized immediately by my boys and they loved her as soon as she came into the apartment. While I was out of town Brunna shared updates with me and took the cutest photos of them. I cant wait for my next trip to ask Brunna to watch over the boys again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lazy Lake is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,577 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lazy Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
