“What an awesome sitter. Zeus and Holly adored her and usually when we are gone, she won’t eat. But with Makayla she was eating and being herself. We received pictures and updates, house was perfect. Will definitely be using her again and again and highly recommend her!! Thank you!!”
About: Your pup is about to have a pawsome time! 🐾✨ Finding the right sitter can be ruff, but I’m here to make things easy, fun, and totally stress free. My home is a cozy, dog friendly hangout where your furry sidekick can roam, relax, and get all the snuggles their heart desires. I’m home most of the day, so your dog gets plenty of company with barely any alone time, just lots of tail-wagging attention. I’ve cared for pups of all personalities: the zoomie champions, the cuddle bugs, the anxious sweethearts, and the playful puppies who are still figuring the world out. Expect cute photo updates, happy wiggles, and a pup who’ll be dog tired from all the fun. I can’t wait to welcome your four-legged BFF and make them feel right at home sweet home! 🐶💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, so I’m able to give plenty of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I keep a steady, calm schedule that makes it easy for pets to settle in and feel comfortable. Your pup will get consistent care throughout the day without any stress or rush. In my home, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and included in my daily routine. They have full access to the main areas of my home, plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and a calm environment to relax or play. I follow any routines or rules you share so your pet’s stay feels familiar and stress-free. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space, stick to your instructions closely, and make sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible.
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, dogs, cats and chinchillas included. I’ve been dog sitting for many years but just recently have become more interested with the idea of pet sitting. I currently have lots of free time during the weekends and most weekdays and would love to fill it by spending time with some animals. In my home my animals have a tight feeding schedule and are constantly being played with and given love just as I would when caring for any animal.
“Danielle took our reservations at the last minute! We had a facetime interview with her and were happy with how professional she was. We were sent a video and a picture of our babies while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again!”
“Bonnieli is amazing! she communicated clearly prior to meeting and arrived early with a smile on her face. my dog paco is a very anxious boy but loved playing and walking with her! her love for dogs is obvious and i cannot recommend enough”
“Hannah was great! She sent me multiple photos throughout the night of our pups and kept me up to date with how they were doing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel at ease and comfortable with our pups!”
“Second time hiring Parker, and he's great. He handled taking care of our house and three dogs (including a JRT puppy) extremely well. I would recommend Parker to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter.”
About: I've loved animal friends from a very young age. I can't remember a time that I didn't have one at home. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lizards and sugar gliders. I love meeting new fur friends. I have experience sitting for friends and family and I also have two happy, friendly pups. I want to dedicate my time to your pet and your satisfaction. I can easily adjust my schedule when necessary and can accommodate even for very late or very early times. I can pet sit, go on walks and provide plenty of care, attention and play time for your pet. I can easily accommodate multiple pets, very large dogs, puppies and pets with minimum or no training.
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
About: Hi there! I am currently working from home and figured I could really enjoy some time with some pups in the meantime. Some weekends I travel to see family and will actually use rover to look for help with my pups. My partner and I share our rover account too. Anyways, I am home all day, and am ready to help take care of your pups! Throughout my childhood to teenage years I grew up with dogs and other pets. That being said, I have a great deal of experience with pets from small to extra large. I am ready and eager to get the job done for you! Please feel free to reach out to me. Looking forward to give your loved one the attention they deserve. I currently work for rover full time. I am flexible and can give your best friends the attention they deserve and need. I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure you know that your dog is in good hands! I have extra large dog homes here in my house, but I am also open to allowing your pup to roam in my home if they are potty trained. Of course, I also know the best routes to walk the dogs to ensure they are safe and enjoy their walks regularly.
About: I have always adored animals. I care for them like they are people and do my absolute best to make sure they are happy, healthly, and 100% comfortable. That means going the extra mile in care. For example taking an extra 20 minutes to let them run around play before being left alone until I return or the owner makes it home. I have two pets, a two year old english cocker spaniel and a seven your old cat. So I am not afraid to clean up any messes. I have watched family friends, friends, and been hired by others in my community to care for their pets. I will treat your pet like family, because they are apart of your family. I will make any accommodations you need for your pet, just let me know what you need! I currently work full time 8:30-5pm with a one hour lunch break, which means during the week days I am available after 5pm. But on weekends I am available around the clock. To ensure your pets safety I only will do things that you allow and/or feel comfortable with. If we go outside in an unfenced location, your pet will remain on his or her leash. I typically try to take pets to the park, but I always about this ask this before doing so.
“What can I say…if I could give Lynda 10 stars ⭐️ I absolutely would!!! She went above and beyond with taking care of my girl, Cinnamon and my home for a week! She kept in contact with me every day and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Lynda to take care of your fur kids and your home. Thank you Lynda and Rover for a great experience and for easing my mind!”
“She was stellar. Made us feel completely comfortable and confident straight from the initial visit. She kept us updated the whole time and the boys loved her. You can always spot a fellow dog person <3”

About: I used to work at an animal hospital. And I used to work out a dog at daycare. I’m trying to start my own animal sitting job. I’m trying to save up the money to go back to school to be a vet veterinarian technician to work in the animal hospital again. The pet car fit into my daily and weekly routine is because I take care of four dogs at home. I love working with animals and I want to have my own doggy daycare one day. How I care for pets in my home is feeding them, playing with them, taking them out walking them. I love taking care of animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,420 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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.
