“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”
“Great job! Great communication! She did what I asked her to do! Always on time! She showed me everything she did. La verdad muy satisfecho de lo que Gleidys hizo por mi mascota. No es fácil confiar en alguien que cuide nuestras mascotas.”
About: As a dog sitter, what sets me apart is my extensive experience and caring for dogs of all ages. I have been providing excellent pet care services I was 11 years old. I have the patience for looking after puppies and I provide gentle care for senior dogs. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive the individual attention and specialized care they need. My dedication to providing top-notch care and my unique skills truly set me apart from other sitters. I currently work a job 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur babies. I am available for boarding on the weekends as well. In my home, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all the pets in my care. I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with no hazards or potential dangers. I provide plenty of toys, comfortable bedding, and spaces for the pets to relax and play. I also maintain a clean and tidy environment to ensure the well-being of the pets. Additionally, I make sure to give each pet individual attention and affection, catering to their specific needs and routines. I also ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, as well as adhere to any special dietary or medical needs they may have. My goal is to provide a loving and nurturing home away from home for the pets in my care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds and sizes for over 5 years. Coworker and friends trust me with their precious fur babies. I’m patient enough to work with puppies or senior dogs as well. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their different temperaments. I’m currently working part time remotely so I have the flexibility and time to give your pets all the love and care they need. With enough notice I can be available any day of the week at any time. I currently live where there is a pet limit but I am free and available to travel to you to look after any of your pets.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and myself since I was 13. I've had rescues, older dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and puppies. I've done basic obedience training and potty training with small and medium sized dogs and I've also taken care of older foster dogs I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to watch and play with your furry family. I'm home full time 7 days a week and I live with my two retired parents I have a fenced backyard so they can run and play to their hearts content without any outside worries. I don't currently have animals of my own. I have no problem with crating a dog if requested, but I prefer to let them roam and be in the same room as them to watch over and play with.
“Luis was very easy to work with. He came to visit our dog beforehand. Teddy got lots of walks and lots of love. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs. I am new to Rover. I am always here your dog(s). I am constantly around animals and committing myself to take care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and will adapt and learn how to best take care of your dog. When I am with your dogs I dedicate my time to being present with them. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask any questions. There’s always an answer. Chat soon! I am currently free all day, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Wednesday and Thursday I can work anytime besides 1 to 6 PM because I’ll be in class. To establish trust, I let the dogs smell me. Then I play fetch with them to understand a bit more about them. To ensure safety at my clients home, I always go in the backyard with the dog, watch them, play with them and make sure everything is going smoothly.
“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. 😊”
About: Ever since I was a child I've loved animals my last 3 jobs were at an animal hospital working as a pet nurse assistant which meant it was my duty to care and provide for the dogs and cats we were housing. With my current experience I've been told I have a special connection with animals, Dogs are just one the very special and unique species in this world, they all deserve nothing but love and respect. As of this Fall I will be attending Miami Dade College for my AA. I am not aware of my schedule yet but I am willing to work around it for your convenience. I am very polite, bubbly, and curious. It would be my pleasure to work with you. My schedule is currently open all I ask for is at least 24 hours heads up. Im also available for overnight as well thank you I’m always respectful when entering someone else’s home and very big on following their rules and regulations. My house is also Suitable for small pets
“Summer was so awesome!! She is very responsive and took amazing care of our babies!!! She sends lots of pics! We were so amazed at how much she loved our babies! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I grew up taking care of my dogs, both big and small. I also have a cat named August. He’s my bestie! I love all animals. I like to feed ducks and turtles at the lake by my home. I work remote Monday-Friday. I have an hour lunch break to check on pets during the day. I’m also available most days before 10am and anytime after 5pm. I’m very good with most animals. I value them as emotional creatures and try to pay attention to their needs. When I leave my cat at home for prolonged amounts of time, I make sure he has all his favorites/needs - food, water, toys, his favorite shows or an open window so he can watch squirrels. I’ll make sure to treat your pets with the same courtesy!
“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?”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, and plants. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I work from home and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets comfortable in their familiar routine. I respect the client’s home, keep food and litter areas clean, secure doors and windows, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
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).
“Nicole was the best with my baby Enzo! The whole time I felt completely at ease because she cared for him just as well as I would. I really appreciate how punctual she was, both for our meet and greet and on the day of the booking, which allowed me to leave home and catch my flight without any issues. She shared photos with me the entire time and was super transparent about her schedule, letting me know when she was with him or away from the house. She was very attentive to his routine and followed all the care instructions we gave her. She played with him, made sure he rested, and spoiled my little one. She went above and beyond our expectations, and Enzo loved her!”
About: I’m a big animal lover and always treat every furry friend like family. I’m quick to pick up on what they need and make sure they’re comfy, loved, and having the best day ever—belly rubs and tail wags included! I currently work from home and have a ton of flexibility in my schedule allowing for long early walks and plenty of breaks in the day including going to the park a 3 minute walk away. I offer safe and trusted pet care that includes daily walks frequent visits to a local gated park for 20-30 minutes of enjoyable outdoor activities. In addition to regular exercise, pets are allowed on furniture for cuddles and comfort. Our furry friends are never left alone.
“Aleja is a treasure. She took such good care of my boy. She communicated throughout her stay with him soy that I had nothing to worry about. Of course I'll ask for her help again!”

This was the second time Denis stayed with our dogs, and he was again fabulous. Our travel plans got messed up on the day we were coming home, and Denis stayed longer than he was supposed to so that he could care for Millie and Parker. I really appreciated having the peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands. Denis is great, and we would book him again for sure!
Tito was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! He took excellent care of them and treated them with so much love, attention, and patience. You can really tell that he genuinely loves animals and cares about their well-being. My dogs were very happy with him, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely trust Tito with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Tito, for taking such great care of them! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Scott Lake is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $38 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,242 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scott Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
