“I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!”

She followed all directions as far as our dogs routine and needs. We came home to a clean home, as we left it! Will book again in future.”

You can just tell when someone truly cares for your animals and I never worried a second while we were away. She ensured our home was in good shape when she left and was so flexible. We will one trillion percent be using her again!!”

“Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.”

“Italia took great care of Ernie the last four nights. The boy took to her right away (usually it takes 2 or 3 days for him to warm up to his sitter), and seemed really comfortable hanging out with her. She treated my house and my cat like they were hers, and what more can you ask? Her communications were on-point, and my daily photos/videos were great. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet and Italia is available, both you and your furry kid should jump at the opportunity. We already have Italia booked for two more sits!”

About: I have experience caring for pets ranging from dogs and cats to horses and lizards. Animals of all different sizes and temperaments, and I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and give them the attention they’re used to at home. I’m also available for house sitting, which allows pets to stay in their familiar home while their owners travel. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their dog AND home are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m able to schedule walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m also available for extended care or house sitting when needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have a secure space, fresh water, and a clean area to play and rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, supervise interactions, and create a calm, positive atmosphere so pets feel safe and happy while I’m caring for them.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes all the way to dachshund. I have taken care of up to 4 dogs at once. I have also taken care of cats, a tortoise, and a parrot. I currently work as a respiratory therapist. I am new to the area and don’t begin work until October. So I will have lots of time to take care of your fury friend. Sorry I will not be able to provide care for your pets in my own home, as I rent somewhere that does not permit animals.

“I can’t say enough great things about him! He stepped in to care for my three babies while my regular full-time sitter was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He came highly recommended by my regular sitter, and from day one he made the transition completely seamless. He followed all of their routines and instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and most importantly, Leia, Luke, and Vader absolutely loved him. 🐾❤️ I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my dogs, especially when I’m traveling, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in his hands. Coming into someone else’s established routine and handling everything so effortlessly says a lot. Reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover. I would absolutely have him watch my babies again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have always had a soft spot for Pets in my life. My entire life has revolved around having a pet and taking care of one whether it was a dog, a cat, bunny, hamster or even bird, I’ve had at least one of each in my life so I would love to take care of someone else’s because it would bring back memories of when I was a kid & I would truly enjoy being around them. I currently work full remotely so I am available Wednesday-Friday between 11am-1pm & again after 5pm. Monday & Tuesdays are hard as I am in meetings all day until 4pm so I won’t be available until after on those 2 days. On Weekends I available all day but I require 3 days to a week advance notice so it doesn’t conflict with my personal requirements. I will make sure that your pet is fully comfortable and cared for in their home. I would never put them in any danger and I would treat them as if they were my own. I adore pets and I feel like they deserve more respect than the average person.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and honestly, sometimes I prefer them to people! I’ve had dogs ranging from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers (always had a soft spot for big dogs). I’ve also had my cats, Parker and Victor, for the past 12 years. One is extremely needy and the other could not be more independent, but they’re both very loving. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us because mine are a big part of my life. Because of that, I’m looking to get to know some new furry friends and give them the same kind of attention and care I’d want for my own while their parents are away. P.S: If your pet likes cuddles they’ll love me! I’m currently working my full time job, and I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. However, with enough planning I could make most schedules work. Nobody knows a pet better than the pet parent so I’m very adamant on following any rules and pointers I’m given, the same way I’d expect my pet sitter to listen to my guidance.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.

This is Susha's second time acting as Ernie's groomer lol. At least, that's what he says. The boy loves getting brushed (and fed and given treats), and Susha does all that like a pro. Additionally, the house was spotless when I returned. Her communications are great, and I highly recommend Susha as a petsitter. Except, of course, when I'm out of town.

This was our first time using Rover, and Cheryl was our pet sitter for our Christmas vacation getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of our "babies". She's a lovely woman, great with animals (we have both a dog & cat) and even our neighbors who ran into her regularly said she was wonderful. Very glad we found her and would never hesitate to hire her again in the future. I loved the photos she sent regularly to keep us in the loop, and the house looked great when we got home. 5 star all the way!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sea Ranch Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sea Ranch Lakes on Rover is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $97 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 4,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sea Ranch Lakes. 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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.
