“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born and have lots of experience providing care for many ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Over the last few years, I have aided with foster dog care, and while it can be challenging, it is very rewarding. Over the last few years, I have seen seniors, puppies, and pregnant dogs come through the home, and I always try to provide the best care I can while trying to find homes that are a good fit! I am working a part-time job at Carthage College and have ample time to help provide care. During the weekdays, I am quite flexible with my availability. On weekends I have lots of flexibility as well in order to provide ample support and care for pets. I am very active, so I am more than willing to provide walks and activities for your pup! If your dog needs medication, I am able to administer it when needed. I can also provide time outside and around the home if the dog must be in a crate.
“Tami was very concerned that my dog Oliver was taken care of well. Tami did a great job communicating with me with any questions and concerns. I would use her again as my dog sitter.”

“Came home to a happy well taken care of pup! Tara even stayed extra for us with a long flight delay making sure our dog was fed, walked and loved. Thank you Tara for allowing us to enjoy our vacation stress free knowing our home and dog were well taken care of!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over twelve years now and love doing it!! I have worked as a kennel assistant for the last two years. Through this I have gained a lot of experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, and learning all there is to know about them! I also have two dogs of my own so I know just how much they become a part of your family, which is why loving and competent care is so important for them! I cannot wait to meet and love on your fur babies :) I’m currently working a full time 9-5 position, so if that fits with your dogs schedule then perfect! I of course make your pup the priority, taking them out and getting their daily exercise in before and after work. Whatever the needs of your pup are is what I’m here to give them! I am more than willing to care for your dog in your home however they are most comfortable! Whether that be crate training, daily walks/runs or just good quality time and cuddles on the couch :)
“Kayla did a great job watching my Bella and staying at my place. Returned this evening and everything was tidy and clean. Bella was very happy! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! Thanks again Kayla!!!!!”

“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”

“Vonnie took excellent care of my fur babies and my home while I went on a family vacation to see my granddaughter perform at a cheerleading competition at Universal studios. She left my home in better condition than it was when I left it! Pictures and text communications were sent daily and my pups seemed happy and safe.”

“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly. I am currently working full time 4 days a week. This allows me a more flexible schedule to help take care of dogs through the week and weekends. I have experience with dogs that bolt when doors are opened outside and know how to block them properly. When helping with potting breaks they can be play breaks to get rid of excess energy. I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.
“Terri did an outstanding job with Tattertott! She gave daily updates and informed us on how Tattertott was doing each day. We greatly appreciate the attention and care she provided while we were away!”

“Overall things went well. Dogs were not stressed when we arrived home after she dogsat our three dogs for two nights. She also swept the floors before leaving (which is something we said she didnt need to do as we know the Huskys cause explosions). My only thing would be communication, the inital communication was great, I wish she had communicated a bit more for our meet and greet as she was late, which is fine as she was at work but I had to be the one to reach out to find out what was going on. I also wish there was inital communication upon arrival and final communication when leaving. Even an overall on how the dogs were/how things went when she left for the final time. The dogs seemed happy though when we returned and that is my biggest concern, and im sure is the same for others.”

“This was my first time leaving our puppy Fritz and first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Adrienne! I appreciated the daily check ins and pics/videos and I could tell that Fritz was happy and content and well cared for. I would recommend Adrienne and will use her again the next time we go out of town without the pup.”

About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care for every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so you can feel confident your pet’s routine will stay consistent while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, whether that’s plenty of playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or a calm environment. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both you and your pet can have peace of mind. As a teacher, my schedule is very consistent during the school year. If your pet is already used to being home during the day while their owners are at work, my routine is a great fit. Before and after school, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, meals, and any medications they need. During weekends and school breaks, I have much more flexibility and can spend even more time with them. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. For boarding or daycare in my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any medications they need. I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest and receive lots of one-on-one attention. For drop-in visits or house sitting in your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine by feeding them, taking them for walks or letting them out for potty breaks, providing playtime and companionship, administering medications if needed, and making sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. My priority is making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that they’re in good hands.
“Dominique did an exceptional job house sitting my two large dogs for 3 nights. His communication was consistent and reliable. I appreciated his attention to detail for each dog and their unique quirks. My home was just how I left it upon my return. Water bowl was full and my pups were happy! I fully recommend Dominique and have already booked another sitting with him.”

Brandi is fantastic!!! I always have a relaxing and worry free time when away knowing she is home with our two dogs. I especially love the notes she takes that includes walks, eating, water and more. We even have a skittish and more challenging dog that has really warmed up her. I highly recommend!!!

Brandi is outstanding, I highly recommend! She is always sweet and kind to both our adorable furry family members. Our two dogs are medium sized and one is extremely shy. Brandi is patient and always wins them both over with her special touch and love. Did I also mention how reliable she is? I am always grateful knowing she is at home with our dogs while traveling.

FAQs for House Sitting - Potter Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Potter Lake on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Potter 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 Potter 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 Potter 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 Potter 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.

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.
