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.

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.
About: As a result of my line of work, which involves constant interaction with dogs, I have developed a deep affection for various breeds of dogs. I’m currently in school, but i’m available 3-4 times a week and the weekends i’m completely available. Monday- anytime, Tuesday- afternoon/evening, Thursday-afternoon/evening, Saturday- anytime and Sunday-anytime . I’m hoping my schedule fits others as well. I will ask my clients where and what I can use to create a safe environment for their dogs. I personally want my client to have trust in me.
“Sarah was very responsive to my queries and provided frequent updates and photos of Tashi, which made me feel more comfortable leaving my fur child for an extended period of time. We did have one hiccup where I wasn't able to get in touch with her for a day, but Tashi was fine and all was well.”
“Jaqueline took great care of our puppy. She was very attentive and very loving. The perfect thing we could ask for knowing that our little baby was in good hands while we were away thank you Jaqueline!”

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!

About: Growing up owning a dog (mini schnauzer) and now a cat, I was able to learn all of the important things that go along with pet care from a young age.

I was looking for a job to do over the summer before college and discovered Rover! I am a huge animal lover and am free to watch any of your cute loveable pets any day of the week! I just graduated Harvard University and am available during my gap year to watch your pets in the Miami area. I will treat all of your pets with the upmost love and care. Spending time with animals is something that brings me so much joy!
“Stephanie was my very first experience with Rover and my first time having someone stay at my house with my dog that wasn’t family or close friends. I am happy to report that she exceeded my expectations and I would definitely use her again! She came over a few weeks prior for a meet and greet and put my mind at ease. I knew Kylo would be in good hands. Stephanie sent SO many great photos throughout the two days/one night she was with him, and did absolutely everything I asked on the print out I left for her. She is responsive and timely, and I can confidently highly recommend her!”
“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”

“Megan and Trevor went above and beyond when caring for our 14 yo Shorkie Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and someone outside of family.

I highly recommend them and will no doubt use them 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! 🐾❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Scott Lake is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $40 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
