“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
“If i could give more than 5 stars I would! Taylor was incredible with my dog and a great communicator throughout the entire stay. The house looked untouched from when we left and I loved pulling up my camera notification from outside of Taylor greeting Winnie with the sweetest welcome! Winnie also enjoyed all the walks! Taylor will be our #1 choice always!! Thank you!!”
“Sarah is the exact person you are looking for to care for your pet while you’re away. They are enthusiastic and ask important questions. They also send updates and photos while you’re away. We will use Sarah to watch our dog whenever we are away and they have availability.”
“Halley and her husband took such good care of my boy! I’ve never left him with anyone else but my family before and Halley really put me at ease, sending pictures and updates. 🥰 My pup usually doesn’t eat if I’m not there, just after one day with her he was eating and felt comfortable. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Allie dog sat for us and we couldn’t have been happier. She stayed at our home and sent us pics throughout the visit. Although I want to keep her all to ourselves, we would highly recommend Allie. She was great and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we need an overnight. ?”
“Having Katie take care of our dogs was our first experience with Rover and it was a good one. She sent pictures and updates and even took them for a walk each day, including the trail pic. They were happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind in the future!”
“Rowan stayed with our blue heeler in our home for 6 days and was great with her. He was very patient and tolerant of her quirky habits. He took her for walks, car rides, played with her a lot and sent me many pictures. Rowan is very dependable and responds quickly to texts and asks questions if necessary. Thanks Rowan! Loved that you gave Terra your full attention while you were here.”
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
“Maddie took wonderful care of our kitty and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The updates and photos were so appreciated, and we came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly enjoy building trust with each animal I work with. I have experience with in-home dog sitting for families while they are on vacation, as well as daytime dog walking and regular drop-in visits. I’ve even cared for and traveled with pets of A-list celebrities! Over the years, I’ve primarily cared for medium and large dogs of all personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and calm in every situation, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to care for your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the time and attention pets need. I prioritize consistent visits, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care and lots of attention. At home I have a black lab! I care for pets as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, consistency, and lots of attention. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding schedules, walks, and playtime so they experience minimal disruption.
“What a great experience. She was great with our energic puppy- sent over great pictures and even got him a toy! It was great knowing that our puppy was well taken care of while we were off having fun. Would highly recommend.”
“Chantelle did a fantastic job and is extremely nice! Dogs were very happy when we saw them and she ensure the doors were locked and the key was where we agreed. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and love being outdoors! I have most recently worked as a horse wrangler and have had lots of experience with being around dogs and animals. I will treat your pet as my own and have full availability right now! Would love the chance to give some pups some exercise I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time being active outdoors. I’m always going for walks and often take hikes in the foothills, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m available most weekdays 1pm and have open availability on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I prioritize keeping pets on a consistent routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I live in a basement-level home with a yard and all wood floors, which makes for easy cleanup and a pet-friendly space. There are no other pets in my home, so your dog will have a low-stress environment with lots of one-on-one attention. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, crate training, or medication needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rush Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 135 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rush 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 Rush 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 Rush 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rush 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
