“Karen was fantastic. I think Sophie did not want me to come back from my trip because she got along with Karen so much. Karen was extremely responsible. She walked and played with Sophie all the time. She also took great care of my house!”
“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”
“Juli absolutely set the bar on pet sitting for our two cats and we're forever spoiled. She communicated clearly and thoroughly, and she took such great care of our two high-maintenance kitties that they didn't have an opportunity to be sad while we were gone for 9 days, which was exactly our goal. She very quickly achieved "Favorite Aunt," status with a very tough group of kitties to please. We can't wait to book her again!”
“Absolutely amazing again. Nick is so thoughtful in his daily updates with great information and pictures. We couldn't be happier knowing Molly is safe with him!”
“Jennifer did a great job the past 9 days house sitting and caring for our Cory. Cory was in great spirits when we returned home and our house was clean & orderly. We would definitely recommend her for future needs. Thanks Jen!”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my 4 dogs and Colleen was amazing! She had great communication through the entire stay and I felt like my dogs were in great hands. I was not worried for a minute while they were in her care. I will definitely be rebooking Colleen in the future.”
“Jonathan did an incredible job again! He has become our “go-to” sitter for our cat and dog. Our animals are so excited to see him and I suspect a little let down when they see us return. Lol. Jonathan provides such wonderful care and attention, sends updates and pics regularly, and it makes taking a family trip so much more relaxing knowing our fur babies are in great care. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“If I could leave 6 stars for Ian, I would. We did a meet and greet and what stood out to me was how attentive he was and how he took notes on both Maui and my homes care. While away, Ian kept me updated on how Maui was doing and ensured he was happy. I truly appreciate how much Ian respected my home and left it tidy and clean.”
“Dalia is great! She watched my house and my cat, Lana, overnight for a few days while I was on vacation. Dalia sent lots of updates and cute pictures, even a little action shot of Lana jumping off her tree! Lana is the only pet in the house but she’s a cuddler and very social cat and it was so comforting knowing Dalia was there to play with her and keep her company. It really helped me enjoy my time away. When I returned Lana was her usual self which tells me she was cared for like I’d never left. I will absolutely be asking Dalia again, and you should too if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative animal lover to take care of your best bud!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.
“Kiri was awesome at taking care of our pets and very communicative. Our dog is a little spicy and I get anxious when new folks watch her. Kiri helped ease that anxiety. Will definitely rebook!”
“Autumn was Fabulous!! She is friendly, a great communicater, and sent me pictures throughout her time in my house. I have 3 goldendoodles and they gave her a 5 out of 5 review. Just watching my girls interact with her gave me such peace. The pictures captured their personalities and their smiles. I highly recommend Autumn for your pets needs.”
“Kaley was so good to my Murphy boy! Updated me throughout the day constantly with pictures, I love how I didn’t even have to ask for that. She stayed in my home with Murphy and had everything the way I left it when I got back home. Kaley will be my preferred pet sitter from now on!”
About: Practical experience in caring for animals, including tasks like feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, administering medication when necessary, grooming, cleaning up after them, monitoring their health, and offering companionship, all while ensuring safety and well-being in the owner’s absence. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m pretty much open availability. Mornings, nights and overnight as needed! I have a clean, comfortable space. I have an open yard, a dog park close to my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed!
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Working at a vet office and going to college to become a veterinarian. Good with puppies, kittens, any old pups and cats too. Able to give medication if needed or just the care and attention they need. I'm part time at a veterinary clinic, so I have quite a bit of free time and I make sure to fit things into my schedule. I love animals so I would be willing to stay with your pet for a while each time. I make sure everyone is fed, has water, gone on walks or even just run around. I play with the animals for a bit and depending if you want me to stay longer at the house I can spend time with the baby.
“My wife and I cannot begin to emphasize how satisfied we are with how Kristina handled our pups. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on a cruise vacation. We are new to the area and naturally we were very nervous to find a new sitter. Kristina absolutely is the best when it comes to Rover. We do not say this lightly as we have used Rover for years across the country. She took our requests and directions very seriously and ensured that our dogs came first during our time away. From swift glances at the Ring camera and the many pictures she sent we could tell that our dogs were comfortable and loved! We will 100% be reaching out to Kristina for future jobs.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sky Lake is $45

Jennifer was such a great sitter for our dog! We unfortunately had a last minute cancellation with a previously scheduled sitter, and Jennifer responded immediately to our request. She came same day for a meet and greet with our dog, and was able to start sitting the next day. She was very helpful, and took great care while we were away. 10/10 would recommend her and use her again the next time we go away.
Stephanie was amazing!! She watched our 3 dogs while my husband and I went overseas for our wedding. We were gone for over a week, and we got multiple pictures and updates daily. She is extremely communicative and responsible. We were nervous to leave our babies that long but Stephanie put our minds at ease so we could relax while we were away. She left our house even cleaner than before we left. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and plan on booking her again! 10/10 stars! Thank you Stephanie!!
Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
Danii took excellent care of our 15-year-old dog, Ghetta, in our home for 26 days. She was always quick to respond and consistently sent photos, videos, and daily progress reports. Danii handled Ghetta’s medication and special needs with remarkable attention. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. She even waited for us when our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Outstanding care for Juuls. Couldn't recommend Alinna more highly. We were so happy with Alinna's care for our home and Juuls while we were away. As a nervous pet owner, it can be stressful to leave our furry friend, but Alinna put us at ease from the very beginning. She is incredibly reliable, professional, and humorous keeping our pet's routine perfectly. We especially loved the daily updates with photos. It was such a comfort to see Juuls looking so happy and relaxed in every update. Not only did she provide top-notch care for our pet, but they also took excellent care of our home. We returned to a happy animal and a pristine house. We wouldn't hesitate to book Alinna again and recommend them wholeheartedly to any pet owner. 💯💫💫💫

FAQs for House Sitting - Sky Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sky Lake on Rover is $49.4 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 3,083 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sky 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 Sky 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 Sky 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 Sky 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sky Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
