“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our shy pup. She was understanding and patient and that helped to put him at ease. He really enjoyed their walks, and we loved the photos of their afternoon together!”
“Victoria is amazing as always with Teddy! We were gone for 22 days, the longest we’ve ever been away from him. I felt so at ease the whole time. I got pictures and videos everyday! Teddy loves her as well. Cannot recommend Victoria enough and we will continue to use her! 🤍”
“Amanda was professional, punctual and reliable! She was caring towards my whinny attached at the hip love bucket. Amanda sent photos and videos and brought my girl to a level of calm. I’d highly recommend her!!”
“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.”
“Robin is great with our two westies. One of ours is 15 and has specific care instructions and he’s always happy and feeling great when we get home. We will continue to have Robin watch our pups when we’re away and have great peace of mind.”
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.
“Jennifer was truly amazing! Arrived early, sent constant updates, and was very pleasant to work with overall. Would definitely book again - 10/10”
About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life. I had two cats for over 10 years, and I also have plenty of experience spending time with and caring for my sister’s dog. I genuinely love animals and feel comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at understanding each pet’s personality and earning their trust. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule because I’m not working a full-time job, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with pets throughout the week. I’m very careful, responsible, and attentive when caring for pets. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their environment. I’m friendly and patient, and I take every pet’s routine and needs seriously. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and interaction, so they never feel bored or ignored while they’re in my care.
“Jackie has come to the rescue for myself and husband while vacationing in Lauderdale. We have our small 14 year old Maltese with us, and had no choice but to take him with us. He doesn’t do well at boarding facilities. I decided to get a dog sitter with the hopes of finding someone asap that not only takes good care of my dog, but is friendly with myself and husband too. It’s hard to trust good people. Jackie is wonderful and accommodating to the times we need. Will use her again in the future when I’m back in Lauderdale. Highly recommend!”
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 love caring for dogs and with having a one year old puppy, I am hyper focused on their needs. I am an early riser and a frequent walker. I have plenty of time to take your pups on walks or to the dog park with consent. Draco is also super dog friendly to all dogs- big or small and would love to play with your pup. My weekends are completely free so I would love to babysit your dogs Friday evening-Sunday night. I’m sure to send lots of pictures and updates of your cute pup. I will follow any instructions you provide on how to care for your dogs specific needs. If no instructions are provided I will make sure to feed your dog twice a day and give them lots of exercise on hikes, walks, and at the dog park. I look forward to giving your furry friend love, attention and cuddles. I am a super active person and my puppy has tons of energy so I will make sure your dog is getting the exercise they deserve with lots of walks, playing and trips to the dog park. I am super flexible with drop off and pick up dates and times. Furthermore, I am completely open to doing meet and greets with each other and our pups before booking services. I love building trust between clients by sending lots of pics and keeping up with communication.
“Could ask for a better sitter than Gary. Gary made me feel that he genuinely cared for my Dog, genuinely cared for my space and could not have communicated better. Book with confidence.”
About: I have personally trained 3 puppies of my own and helped friends train their dogs. I love to meet new dogs and understand their needs and wants. I feel like every dog is a big puppy a ball of joy and that’s what makes me love this job! I can’t wait to meet your four legged best friend! I work part time ( 3 days a week) i’m a grad student that needs a little bit of joy something and dogs do just that. I can’t wait to meet your four legged best friend!

“This was our first time using Rover and we were not disappointed! Jenny was so wonderful with out two girls. She stayed with them at our apartment and was extremely accommodating, even when our flight home was delayed. One of our dogs is very anxious and she did great with Jenny. We got lots of photos and updates and couldn't be happier with the experience. Will definitely be rebooking!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lazy Lake
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.
Maddie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, she even took our dog to the vet when she developed a cough and administered meds. Gunner requires a lot of attention and exercise and she got both. We have never come home to a more mellow and happy dog. :) And the house was spotless!
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.
