“Karen was the perfect dog sitter for Otis! She was so playful and spoiled him with long walks and play time. Her updates made me comfortable on my trip and allowed me to truly enjoy my time knowing Otis was happy and cared for. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Danielle was available to help us out last minute when our Sitter cancelled. She was fabulous. Very professional from the initial booking interaction to the excellent care provided for our pups. Nate and Oki loved their day with her and we could not have been happier with Dani’s Service. Thanks!!!… you helped to really make our day a fantastic one.”

About: I have experience working in a vet office and working with pets. I’ve always loved animals and they gravitate towards me naturally. I am patient, reliable, and calm with all animals. I am working full time, however, I have evenings and weekends available. I currently work 7-3:30pm and I am available after work. My evenings and weekends are yours as needed. With my previous experience of working in a vet office I have experience in working with dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I am confident in maintaining a calm environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since 2014. I can handle picky eaters, special diets, and dogs that need lots of attention. I have a dachshund and a chow mix, and I would love to spoil your dogs like I spoil mine! I am a Scare Actor for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I am available during the day before and after my shifts, which should be around 8 hours. I am able to give your dog treats, play time, and crate them if needed. I always make sure water bowls are full, especially in the heat.
“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.”
“Colleen did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats and house for almost 2 weeks! Also, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy cats and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking with Colleen again!”
“Ava is fantastic! She sat our house and Cane Corso (no easy feat as he can be very intimidating for most people). She gave us daily pics of our babies while we were away and we came home to a very happy dog and cat. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone. She is very responsible and someone you can trust.”
“Jonathan has a clear love for animals and he did a tremendous job with our dog and cat. Great updates, very timely and house was spotless. Would highly recommend, in fact, we are already hiring him for a second job in a few weeks!!!!”
“Showed up on time, asked intelligent questions about our dog to make sure she had all the information necessary, and was pleasant and courteous. Our dog liked her immediately and was happy and relaxed when we came home. A very comforting feeling!”

“Nancy is great! She was available very last minute and was super understanding during absolutely everything. Our dogs definitely weren’t the easiest and Nancy was always there when they needed her. She’s also very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, their personalities, behaviors, etc. which is so helpful. She also made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos! We will reach out to Nancy again.”

“Liz was wonderful with our doggy! Our senior dog liked her from the moment he met her and was at ease in her presence early on. Liz was especially attentive to taking frequent photos and sending updates daily. When we arrived home, our doggy was comfortable and calm. We are so glad to have found Liz and will be booking with her again very soon!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Worked 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.
“Rylee did a fantastic job helping us look after our 2 boys. She communicated well and kept us updated on everything. Would love to keep working with her in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sky Lake
This was our second time having Jayden watch Mars, and once again, the experience was absolutely fantastic. Mars is an incredibly affectionate dog who demands constant love and attention, and she completely matched her energy. It can be tough to find a sitter who truly leans into a velcro-dog's need for endless cuddles and playtime, but she made Mars feel like the center of the universe the entire time. Throughout the stay, I received wonderful updates and photos showing Mars looking completely content and showered with affection. It brings so much peace of mind knowing I can leave my dog with someone who genuinely loves and understands her personality. Jayden is officially our go-to sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for attentive, top-tier pet care!
Jennifer, was amazing. She would send me a lot of updates with lots of pictures. all of the pictures she sent my dog looked so happy. She was very respectful of the house and everything looked just as I left it when I got back. She took Marley for his usual walks, gave him his vitamins and was very loving with Marley. I felt at ease on my 12 day vacation and felt I left him in good hands. I would definitely book her next time. I was very blessed 😇 to have find her as she was a great dog sitter.
Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our boys! She sent us lots of photo and video updates every morning and evening, which we really appreciated and looked forward to while we were away. We could tell that she went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and having a good time. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful, and she also kept our home very tidy throughout her stay. It was clear when we returned that our boys had been in great hands, which alleviated so much of the stress and worry that comes with leaving them behind. They are truly part of our family, so having someone we could trust to care for them so well meant a lot to us. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely be reaching out again for any of our future pet-sitting needs. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies!
Susan was great, she came to our hotel and stayed with our pups while we went and enjoyed Discovery Cove and Aquatica. Meeting Susan before hand was a pleasure and our pups took to her and didn't want to leave her side. We felt very at ease while we were out enjoying the various activities. She sent us pictures and kept us updated with what the pups were up to. This was our first time using Rover and Susan has some very good reviews and she surpassed them with the care and understanding that made our weekend vacation stress free and enjoyable. We look forward to having Susan help us out again when we visit Orlando and our pups really did enjoy spending time with her.
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!
Nancy was outstanding and very good at giving me updates as she was watching Bailey. She sent pictures and videos to let me know how Bailey was doing. She also had to deal with an emergency water situation at my house and did an incredible job. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Nancy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sky Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,106 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 , 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.
