“Kyler & Hannah were amazing. Not only did they go out of their way to keep our dogs happy and relaxed, but they actually managed to make it as though us being gone on our trip : was not a big deal. Our dogs looked loved and happy, and my biggest dog ( who's TERRIFIED of men ) immediately latched on to Kyler. My smallest, the cuddlebug, was addicted to being held by Hannah - she looked like she never wanted to leave honestly. This was our first time leaving, but now I know that it doesn't have to be our last. We're still allowed to go out on those long work trips, knowing that we'll come back to loved and safe animals. I am BEYOND grateful for these two, and I would stake my claim that you all will be too. Just make sure you don't take all their spaces, so that I can still book them in the future haha !!”
“Kelly stayed at my house for 7 days with my cats. It was late when I got home and she had left lights on for me! The house was clean. The dishes were done. The litter area had been well kept. The mail was all in a pile. Their water dishes were good. I have all good things to say! It was very nice not having to worry about my boys.”
“Mackenzie was great! She sent us daily photo updates on our boys during our trip and we knew they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her any time we go out of town!”
About: I'm highly skilled at reading animal body language. I have experience with anxious, temperamental, excitable, shy, and senior pets. I've cared for cats since a young age and have more recent hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm comfortable supporting both energetic younger pets and older pets who require a softer approach. I am able to handle animals gently, give oral/injection medications, routine care, play, and feeding. I am currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday from 10:00am-6:00pm. On Thursdays and Fridays, I'm fully available during the day and usually make plans around 6:00pm, but I'm always happy to stop by before or after. I'm completely available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visits, drop-ins, or extended care. I always make sure I'm aware of any pet allergies, medical needs, and medications that must be given. If a medication has to be administered at a specific time, I will adjust my schedule to ensure your pet's safety and consistency. I take care to keep toxic plants, foods, and loose wires out of reach, and I maintain clean litter boxes and bowls throughout my visits. If certain pets cannot share a space, I will follow your instructions closely to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In case of emergencies, I have a reliable vehicle that pets can safely ride in if transportation is needed.

“Emma is great! She was fast to respond to my request when my normal dog sitter had to cancel last minute. The pups absolutely loved her! She sent regular check-ins. And the house was in the exact same condition as we left it, which says a lot during shedding season with two double-coated dogs. She’s my new go-to if I need a sitter in the future.”
“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one of my own - golden doodle full of energy and curiosity!

I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!”
“5/5 stars hands down! Julia did such a great job with house sitting and was so good with Rocky while I was away! She sent lots of pictures and updates which made me feel so comfortable! It seems like Rocky took right to her for the first time ever meeting her! You could tell she has such a good spirit! She was so flexible! Rocky had an accident on the bed and Julia was so sweet to wash my linens for me. Would definitely recommend me her and her husband! Really wish I could give 10 stars!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and temperament since I was a kid—puppies, high-energy breeds, and sweet seniors. I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented. I can handle leash manners, crate routines, meds (including pills and simple topicals), slow-intro meet-ups for shy dogs, and respectful boundaries for reactive pups. Safety comes first on every walk (secure harnesses, double-checks on gates/doors, weather checks, and paw wipes). You’ll get time-stamped updates with photos after each visit so you can relax while I handle the care. flexible and reliable. just contact me for details. i am willing to walk your pet or check on them if I am not working my full time job. I live in an apartment complex, so there plenty of room to walk play and run. and its a private gated community, secure and private.
About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.
About: I have had pets since I was a child . From fish, turtles, dogs , cats and a guinea pig . I love animals so much. I am currently working part time and I’m usually gone 4-5 hours a day . Other than that I am home pretty much all day. I have a small fenced in yard that would be great for your pet to get a breath of fresh air . And enjoy some play time
“Kayla stayed at our house and did an amazing job taking care of our 3 babies, and our home! She’s very responsible and kept us informed about how things were going during our vacation. This was the first time our 5 month old puppy had been left for more than 1 night, and we came home to a happy, healthy boy, along with our two 2 1/2 year olds. We feel so blessed to have found Kayla, and would definitely recommend her! We will book her the next time we need a babysitter! :)”
“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 246 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lost 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 Lost 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 Lost 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 Lost 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 Lost Lake. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
