“Courtney stayed the week with my cat, Cleo -- and she was fantastic! She was in touch at every meal, reassuring me that Cleo was eating (Cleo can be finicky) and getting her medication (pilling Cleo can be tricky) -- and she gave me peace of mind at every corner. I provided a very detailed binder of instructions, and then provided additional tips and tricks throughout my trip, and Courtney was open to all of it. She was patient and kind -- and I could tell upon returning home that Cleo really developed a bond with Courtney, which was so wonderful for me to see. I'm so grateful to have found Courtney and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs their fur-babies cared for in a loving, patient and reassuring way. Thank you, Courtney! We both look forward to having you back!”
“Ariana took great care of our dogs! She made sure they played and were safe during a huge storm. She also made sure they got a lot of snuggles. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
“Andrea was great with our anxious French bulldog. She went above and beyond watering the gardens and caring for the animals. She was communicative and sent pics of our pup. We will absolutely hire her again to house and pet sit! Highly recommend.”
“Vinny did an excellent job taking care of our pets and house while we were away on an international trip! He left the house better than he found it - I was very impressed by his thorough cleaning and obvious caretaking of our pets. I don’t think our fur babies even realized we were gone! I would absolutely recommend Vinny for anyone interested in house+petsitting.”
“Cecelia took great care of our two dogs and house sat for us while we were out of town for a week. She sent us multiple pictures of each of them every morning and every evening, they looked happy and like themselves in every one. We came home to our mail collected, a clean house, and two very happy doggies! Would definitely use again!”
About: My dog Chanel is my world so it would be a pleasure to share that same love to others. I’ve grown up around dogs between all of my family so this is a joy to experience. I currently work day shifts and very loyal to my schedule of care with my dog at home. It would be no burden or issue at all to care for others 4 legged friends. The same care I provide to my own as if she was my daughter is the same care I’d give to others pets. Any dog in my care is my family.
“We were very happy with the care Kira offered Ivy. She sent photos and responded promptly to all texts. In addition, she left the house in perfect condition. It didn't even look like we'd had a guest! We would absolutely use her again.”
About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”
“Alexis is great all around. She is a pleasure to interact with, responsive, and sends timely updates. I could tell that all four of my girls and my pup felt comfortable with her and were well cared for. I would strongly recommend Alexis and look forward to her sitting my pack in the future!”
About: Ever since I was kid, I've always had pets so it was normal for me to know how to take care of them. I've had dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters and turtles and I've loved them all so much. Animals make my day happier and I have rarely encountered an animal that disliked me. I have a playful side when I meet them but I can also be strict and discipline them by telling them what not to do with the tone of my voice. In this way, I actually trained my older sister's dog to obey, sit, give a handshake, and respect me. I am a natural leader to these animals. I give them freedom to jump on the couch and play around the house or the backyard, but unless I tell them to, they cannot be in our beds. I can play, bathe, and feed your dog as well. I am sure we will have fun together and I will take care of them as if they were my own. ‼️‼️‼️‼️ On a side note, my calendar here may seem empty, but I might be pretty booked for the day with my other clients out of here, which is why it's really helpful to let me know ahead of time of your requests so I can accommodate you better 😊. I have a fenced yard and 2 playful doggies to keep your pup company. They all run around or play fetch until they're tired enough. Thank you in advance! This is my work full time for now, so I'm always home unless I'm running some errands to help out my family. Your dogs will never be unattended since my family also helps me watch them. Since I have a 2 story house, your pets are always on my watch because they sleep with me. You can bring their bed/blanket for them to sleep on as well if its more comfortable for them.
“Gabbi was so very amazing! We were nervous to leave our dogs last minute but she was reassuring and also made them feel super comfortable. I could tell in the pictures she sent and when we got home that our dogs were very happy with her. Thank you Gabbi!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for pets. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a responsible college student and former au pair, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable managing routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a happy, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their families. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and companionship, and I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away I am a responsible and caring pet owner with two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. In your home, I will respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Cotter (John) did an amazing job caring for our pups while we were attending an out of state wedding. Very dependable and my dogs were very comfortable with him. Thank you, Cotter.”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and take pride in being someone your pet will feel comfortable with right away. Over the years, I have volunteered with several local rescues where I have gained experience with all dog ages, as well as special needs dogs. Through hands-on experience, caring for dogs with different personalities/needs I have learned how important patient, routine, and clear communication are. I pay close attention to each dogs’s energy level, cues, and comfort. Whether your dog prefers a slow stroll, quiet companionship, or steady exercise I meet them where they are. I do this because I believe pets deserve calm, respectful care and owners deserve peace of mind, knowing their animals will be truly cared for as my own. I currently work full-time from home which gives me the flexibility to be available first thing in the mornings, lunchtime or in the evenings. I am available on weekends as well. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow their preferred daily routine. Whether that involves walking, feeding, or administering medications. If staying at my house, we are situated on a half acre lot with a small fenced in area. Our neighborhood is self-contained. I have 3 friendly dogs ranging from 7 months to 14 years old. If your dog prefers to be crated or to have a room of their own, I can accommodate that as well.
“Kristin was terrific. We needed someone to stay at our house to pet sit my daughter and her husband's dog while we vacationed with them. Their dog is a very sweet but sometimes precocious, energetic 3 year old golden retriever. Kristin did a great job! She's very friendly, experienced and caring. Most importantly she took good care of Shea, but the house as well. I definitely recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
“Eric was a fantastic dog sitter He took my dogs to the park got caught in rain yet to manage to get them toweled off and dry. He was very pleasant and responsive to communications. Would definitely recommend him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mohegan Lake
Katherine was excellent with my dog Javi while I was away for several days. She kept me updated and sent me photos throughout my trip. She was able to care for Javi on short notice which really helped out since my last sitter cancelled. I would definitely use her again in the future to care for Javi!
Alexandra was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely responsive, responsible, and kept us updated throughout Lou’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lou was well cared for and received lots of attention and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexandra again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,862 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mohegan 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 Mohegan 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 Mohegan 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 Mohegan 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
