“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”
“Denys took amazing care of our dog Rocky while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and kept us at ease knowing Rocky was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
“Chris was excellent! Our dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. He kept us well informed and was easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend his services and will use his services in the future.”
“Gabriella was amazing. Fun, kind, and Milo loved her. She helped take care of our baby on our wedding day, even came to the venue to take pictures with him and drove him back! Thank you!”
“Giuliana was AMAZING! We have never hired through Rover or had a pet sitter we dont know personally. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout. She took wonderful care of our pups! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, helping with walks, meals, bathing, and daily routines. I also volunteer at animal shelters, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and calm with pets of all temperaments. I truly believe animals deserve love and care, and I treat every pet like family. I have plenty of availability at night and I am flexible with my schedule and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals I have a small yorkie that is super friendly with both small and big dogs, we love going on walks and to the park. still trying to get him to like the beach lol
“I cannot recommend Alyiah highly enough—she is absolutely amazing! She has been caring for my two dogs for years, and the love she has for them is truly special. She treats my pups like her own—honestly, like they’re her children—and it shows in every single thing she does. What really sets Alyiah apart is how incredible she is when one of my dogs isn’t feeling well. She goes above and beyond, making sure they’re comfortable, giving medications carefully and reliably, and providing so much extra attention and care. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. Her updates and photos are thoughtful and reassuring, and you can just feel how much she genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional, Alyiah is the BEST. Five stars isn’t enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). When I am home, I integrate my pet into everything I do. I love their company on the couch, bringing them on my daily walks, and even the puppy eyes when I’m cooking. I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We have a partially-fenced yard with grass surrounding the condo and a balcony with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).
“Laura was amazing! Very professional and warm from the very beginning. Also very attentive and communicative throughout the process So grateful that we get to have her watch her animals. Looking forward to the next sit. 😊”
“5 starts just isn’t enough. Scott was our first experience having our dogs house sit & first time leaving our pup, it was challenging passing him down to Scott, but he made it all possible, was flexible, helpful and surpassed all our expectations and MORE. Hands down, BEST doggie sitter out there & super loving with the pups. 10?”
“Stephanie is FANTASTIC! This was our first experience for an overnight stay with our dog and she exceeded our very high expectations. She is professional, timely and provided lots of updates and photos of our dog. She followed exactly the instructions we left for medication and walks for our dog. She left our home immaculate after an overnight stay. We will book her again for both drop ins and overnight stays. She put our mind at ease and is wonderful with our dog. HIGHLY recommend!”
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
“Ernesto was GREAT, he came by before I left for a trail walk with Tuxedo loved him, He watched Tux for 8 days all throughout he sent pictures and texts. He followed my instructions and spent lots of time with Tux while I was gone. He was totally responsible and professional. I will be using him again and you should too !”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, giving lots of love and attention, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in loving, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure dogs are safely leashed and secure before walks, and I’m attentive to their surroundings while we’re outside. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Brianna has been absolutely wonderful. This is the first time we’ve ever left our boys in the hands of someone else and are confident that they’ve been loved and cared for. Brianna is friendly, responsive, and very good at what she does. Our dog and cat loved her from the moment they met. I absolutely recommend her care and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“This is the second time we had Olga to sit Capone and was another great experience. We went to Miami for dinner and not once was concerned about him. The updates kept coming to my phone. She took him to our Dog park. Capone lives her and so do we. If she’s available and you want your dog safe and happy hire her and you won’t regret it”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scott Lake
Denys was wonderful with our two dogs who can be a little crazy. He stayed at our home while we travelled and took excellent care of Parker and Millie. He asked great questions ahead of time, sent some updates while we were away, and knew how to safely navigate any issues. Our house was also on great shape when we returned. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Michelle was awesome. She took care of Dulce making her confortable with her, playing with her in the backyard and eventually with walks around the neighborhood. Dulce was her happy self when we came back. We look forward to Michelle taking care of Dulce again this coming April.
Amber did an amazing job taking care of our boys for our 2 weeks trip, first time we use a sitter for that long of a period but we didn’t have any concerns while we were overseas, she was very responsive even with a crazy 13 hours time zone difference. Will definitely keep booking Amber for our upcoming trips if she’s available.
Joalys was wonderful and communicated really well during the entire stay. This was my first time using the service to house sit and thankfully it worked out to be a great experience thanks to her. I highly recommend her services as she communicates really well and is great with animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Scott Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scott Lake on Rover is $38.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scott 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 Scott 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 Scott 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 Scott 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.
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.
