“Elba always takes the best care of our fur babies!!!!! She truly goes above and beyond to make sure not only our animals are safe and happy, but she always makes sure our house is safe and left in the same condition as we left it! Would 💯 recommend her.”
“Tiffany was awesome. She stayed with my two rambunctious Boston Terrier puppies for a long weekend. We recieved many pictures and updates during our time away giving us comfort that our babies were being well taken care of. Our babies are spoiled and sleep in bed with us. Tiffany didn't bat an eye in sharing the bed. Best yet the house was clean and dog poop all picked up. We definately would use her again. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing house sitting for me for a whole week with my three babies!!! I came home to very happy puppies and my apartment cleaner than I left it! I would absolutely recommend! She sent me so many photos! Always contacted me if she ever had questions and was so patient with me! Will definitely request her to house sit again for us!”
About: I grew up in a pet family and I always had a way of forming special bonds with them. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and snakes. All creatures are special and unique and deserve care specific to them. I have pretty open availability! I am a barista, and my schedule is really flexible! I typically only work 6 hours a day, so I’m sure I can fit your needs! My pets at home are welcome to free roam. But every situation is different and you understand what your pet needs better than I will. I’ve always been great with direction so tell me what to needs to be done and it will be.
“Raajignacio took such great care of our dog! He handled his medication and feeding perfectly, even though it wasn’t always easy. He walked him, cared for him just as we would, and even took him along when he needed to be away from the house for a little longer. We’re very happy with the care he provided this weekend and would definitely trust him to watch our dog again!”
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 spent several years providing exercise and enrichment for my friends and roommates pets, going on walks and watching them during their owners vacations. Over the last 10 years my partner, I’ve adopted her dog Kiwi, Goldendoodle now 15yr old, and our second dog in covid together with Mr.Kangaroo, mixed small breed now 6yr old. We now still help both our friends and families with dog walks, daycares, or longer stays. Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time at home to play with your pups! I’m available for boardings on weekends, and weekdays for daycare. I have a flexible schedule for early or late availability can be arranged with some early notice. Our home has a fenced in yard with dog door access and plenty of yard space for exercises/play with our two dogs to keep your pups company and provide some encouraging energy. We have a pool for swimming and walking paths/parks near my home for short or long walks. If needed we can easily provide separation within our home for privacy or anxiety with crates and dog fences.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have 6 years of experience caring for pets. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work full-time as a nanny and house manager Monday through Friday, but I have a break in the middle of the day that allows for some weekday availability. I’m also available on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, all day! I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance to make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and special instructions provided by pet parents. I also love sending updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.”
“Christina is the absolute best! She took amazing care of my two big dogs. She shared a ton of updates and went above and beyond to ensure they stayed safe. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Jessica was an incredible pet and house sitter! She took such wonderful care of Shadow, and it was obvious that she was happy and well loved while we were away. Jessica kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind, and left our home spotless. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. We would happily have Jessica watch Shadow again!”
“Mya is so wonderful with our furry family. We check with her before we cement in any long days or overnights away from them to be sure she can stay with them. They love her and so do we cause we never worry knowing she's with them.”
About: I was the adopted father to my roommates old dogs, lending many helpful hands amidst her busy schedule, and being one of the few she trusted to watch them while she was away. I don’t have much more dog sitting experience besides that, though I would love to very much. I have a job working at Starbucks, but other than that I’m pretty flexible and willing to move my schedule around to fit my clients needs. I don’t currently have pets at home, but when I care for others pets, I first ask the owner if there is anything I need to know. I acquire the feeding schedule, ask if there are any medications that need administered, and what the pet’s personality is like and how they prefer to be approached. Once all is said and done, I make sure they are fed, safe, and enjoying their time with me through play and treats allowed by owner.
“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!”
“Paula (aka Maria) was excellent! Another sitter that I had booked months ago for a trip out of the country cancelled at the last minute (2 weeks before departure) and that's when I found Paula. She came for a meet and greet, asked all the right questions and we agreed we were a great fit. She took exceptionally great care of my home and my pup while I was away. She updated me daily with pictures, took care of getting the mail, watching the pool water levels and all the little things that needed attention while I was away...including making sure I had enough food for my pup when I got back. She made sure the house was left "better than she found it", something not all sitters do. I am most grateful for the peace of mind I had while away.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sky Lake is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sky Lake
Hailey stayed with our two dogs - one young and active and the other senior with anxiety - while we were out of the country. She was extremely responsible with our home and our pets and is a great communicator. It was hard for us to be away from our pets for so long but knowing Hailey was giving them all her attention made it so much better!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sky Lake is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $33 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 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 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 Sky Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
