Ben did another amazing job caring for our pets while we were away. We even had a new addition to our home, a tripawd shepsky mix and Ben accommodated the third dog very well. All of our animals love Ben and he's so great in taking care of the e needs. Highly recommend Ben as a sitter.

Suzuko checked in on Burg while I was out of town for a few days. She gave updates daily and updated me if there were any problems. She’s super reliable and I’d definitely recommend her to others. I definitely plan to book her in the future.

Mariah was awesome! Just what we needed when we needed it. It was a last minute emergency situation and she met up prior to make sure we were both comfortable. She took great care or our dog and provided updates without even asking. Will definitely request her services again. 😊

patience was nothing short of incredible. my dog, vivian, was post surgical, which shouldn't be that difficult, but there were unforeseen complications and she got an infection in the sutures and patience had to clean the wound 3 times a day. with the help of treats and her confident and soothing demeanor she got vivian to hold still for it. on top of that patience walked vivian, administered medicines 4 times a day and laundered vivian's bedding. if i had stayed home i couldn't have managed it better myself. and she kept in close touch with me the whole time i was away. patience is smart, professional and truly compassionate. i would use her again in a nano second.

This is a rebook with Vanessa and that’s for a reason! I feel very comfortable leaving my 10yo German shepherd with her. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how their day was going while I was away. He is not very good with other dogs so I’m very hesitant to leave him with people because of that but I don’t have to worry with Vanessa! Would definitely recommend her to anyone

About: I grew up caring for animals and have been responsible for their daily needs from a young age. I currently have three cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and recognizing behavior or health changes. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are safe and comfortable. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, so whenever you need me I got you! Pet care is part of my daily routine with my own cats. I’m available for consistent visits and will always ensure your pet’s feeding, comfort, and well-being are my top priority! I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in your home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and calm, and ensure doors and windows are secure at all times. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and will provide updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Khloe is so personable and easy to communicate with. My one dog is very suspicious of people and she loved her right away. She takes pics of my dogs when she watches them. I really appreciate her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a child and have a friend who is a vet if I have any questions that arise that I can’t readily answer. I can safely bath and administer medication if needed. My little dog is my whole world so yours will be too. I like to be able to provide piece of mind for people needing a sitter they can trust with a member of there family. It’s as important as if they were one of your children. I can crate your dog if you bring one. I live in a very secure property and work in the area so I am always close by.

About: I have owned several dogs of various sizes that I have cared for. I am a responsible person that is always punctual, and I get my work done as expected. I tend to prefer larger dogs, but small dogs are not an issue. Dogs with minor medical needs are not an issue either as I have watched my step sisters dog before while she was on vacation, and her dog requires seizure medication twice daily. I also have much experience with cats. Cats are fairly easy to handle, and I have been with cats of various attitudes, from occasionally hostile to extremely friendly. There is no job that is too much to handle. I am willing to put my best effort into taking care of your furry friends. I work quite a bit, but I will always make time for your furry friends. If it’s booked enough in advance, I’m able to adjust my work schedule to meet your pets needs. I treat all pets with respect. It is their home, not mine, and I treat them as if they were my child. They get the best care and lots of love. I respect animals boundaries just as I would expect a person to respect my own.

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business.

Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pleasant Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant Lake. On Rover:

  • 100% 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.
