“Kaitlyn was SO great! Zeke is a 4 month old puppy that is quite high maintenance right now and Kaitlyn was so understanding and patient and treated Zeke as her own. I can’t say enough great things about her!!”
“Mckenzie is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She recently stayed at our house and watched my two higher energy dogs for two weeks. This was my first time leaving my pup who is newer to having seizures. He needs his medicine 2x a day on time and she was able to do so each time. My dogs loved her. She played with them and tired them out everyday. I get so nervous to leave them, but she made me feel so at peace. Please use this as your sign to book with her! I will never use anyone else.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all ages for most of my life. I’m a bit of a homebody, so naturally I’ve become the person my family calls when they need someone they trust to pet sit and I love it! When your fur baby is with me, you can count on me to follow their routine and all the little things that make them happy. Whether that’s watching their favorite show, practicing a newly learned trick, playing together, getting some fresh air, or just relaxing with some company, I want their time with me to feel comfortable and familiar. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special routines or additional care whenever possible. If your pet needs a meet & greet before their stay, we can absolutely schedule one so they have a chance to get comfortable with me first. My goal is simple: to give your pet plenty of love, attention, fun, and companionship while you’re away. They may be staying with me, but they’ll be treated like one of my family. ❤️ I work from home with a flexible schedule for walks and plenty of energy for play time and affection. We have a huge fenced in area for dogs to get in some exercise and let out the zoomies! My goal is to provide your pet with the best care possible, as if you never left! I want to make them feel comfortable and safe by following their daily feeding, walking and playtime schedules so they never lose their routines. I give every pet lots of love and affection, just as if they were my own ❤️

With a completely flexible schedule and no competing obligations, I'm available throughout the day and week to provide attentive, loving care whenever it's needed. Your pet safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention. Regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. While I don't have a yard, I take dogs out frequently for exercise and bathroom breaks. In your home, I'll carefully follow your pet's normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications and any special routines to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages for added peace of mind.
“Molly was absolutely wonderful with both of my elderly dogs! Bosco and Lola don’t normally warm up that quickly to a stranger but Molly has such a great energy about her. She even sent me pics of my cat even though she didn’t get paid to take care of him just so I knew he was good. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Highly recommend Rachel did a amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was out of town. Kept me updated with pictures of how the dogs were doing. Left our house super clean couldn’t even tell she stayed over. Such peace of mind having her at the house with the dogs. Thanks again!”
“Kyla was amazing. she took very good care of my dog while I was away. she always updated me with photos daily and is very sweet and kind. Definitely will always use her to house sit when im gone. she is the best! my pup was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed her too!”

“Rachel surpassed expectations during her 4 day stay at our home. Our doggy got sick right away and she was responded as if our dog was her own. She communicated often and working through the problems together, she fixed our pup right up. On top of that, she helped us clean up our home as we were unable to get to everything before going away. The place was spotless and the dog was super happy. Rachel will absolutely watch our dog again.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie 👋🏻 Caring for pets isn’t just something I love; it’s what I do every single day! I currently work as a Supervisor at a luxury dog boarding/daycare resort, and previously as a Shift Leader for 2 years at another boarding/daycare kennel for dogs AND cats. I’ve had the privilege of working with pets of all ages, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I’m also experienced with medication administration of all kinds, first aid, CPR, and following detailed care routines, so you can feel confident your pet’s needs will be taken seriously while you’re away. You can expect plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Have questions or a specific need for your pet? Feel free to send me a message! I’d love to learn more about your companion and see how I can help. Whenever I’m not at work, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. On my days off, I have extra flexibility and can spend more one-on-one time with your companion, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or simply giving them ALL of the attention and companionship they deserve. Overnight stays are accepted on a case by case basis depending on my work schedule and the location of your home. During walks and drop-in visits, my focus is on safety, enrichment, quality of care, and making sure your pet gets the attention they need. Before each booking, I’ll get to know their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any behavioral quirks or preferences.

FAQs for House Sitting - Otter Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Otter 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 Otter 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 Otter 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 Otter 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 Otter Lake. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
