“First time using Rover. Jordan was excellent, even offering to do a meet and greet to let our dogs get familiar with her and to go over their routine. Very communicative with updates about the dogs and overall just a very positive and really easy experience on what was a really busy travel weekend for us.”
“Laura did a great job caring for our dogs and home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures with the dogs snuggled on her lap and playing fetch - their two favorite things. Sometimes when we get home from a trip the dogs seem a bit out of sorts, but not this time at all. We will reach out to Laura next time we go out of town!”
“Zoe was an exceptional dog sitter in my home for my 2 pups and I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again. The dogs seemed to immediately trust her when they first met and that tells me a lot about their comfort level and her energy with them. Zoe was consistent with communication, reliable, took care of all the pups needs and was extra helpful doing a few minor house management items (like bringing trash cans back in from three curb and watering some flowers) while I was away. Zoe is personable, kind, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for your animal care needs.”
“Ashlee was great with our 2 goldendoodles. She showed up early, gave our dogs plenty of loving and left our house as she found it. Our dogs were sad to see her go and would 100% recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past two years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I currently own a German Shepherd and Goldendoodle. Our German Shepherd is a nine year old rescue dog and our Goldendoodle is three years old. Our two cats are 10 & 11 years old. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs! I have plenty of time to walk your doggos! I am usually available most week days and weekends! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I love dogs that are not mine as if they were my own! I have many years of caring for dogs and other animals. I am engaging and loving with your pet. I am more than happy to meet your expectations and needs for you furry friend and will work with you on what you should need with flexibility and understanding. I can’t wait to walk your treasured baby. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.
“Jasmyne was amazing! Our dog can be pretty anxious but did great with Jasmyne — and she gave us lots of updates and photos throughout the time we were gone; which helped put us at ease too. The house was in tip-top shape when we returned, and our dog was happy and content. We will definitely be calling on Jasmyne again!”
“Michelle is the absolute BEST! She took at-home-care of my Boston Finnley for 6 days while I was in cali and my baby absolutely loved her!! From the moment they met it was kisses and happiness !! Frequently she sent me updates and pictures, keeping me involved in their daily adventures! I felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of while I was gone, having loads of fun, walking, playing, and having a companion there in his own surroundings . It was obvious that she truly cares about our pets and that it goes beyond just fulfilling a job . I was lucky to have found her and couldn’t have had a better fit for my pup. We look forward to our next pet sitting with Michelle and thank her for being such a wonderful human being ❤️❤️❤️”
“Lo took great care of our dogs and the house. I will be using her again and highly recommend. My dogs take a minute to let new people in their circle and she did great with them. They loved her!”
“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have helped care for them since I was young! I have experience with giving medicine through various methods. I also love to help out with cats! I currently have 3 cats and have experience with house sitting and medicine for them as well. I work a hybrid 8-4 job so I am available for early morning and the rest of the evening. On WFH days and weekends I have all day availability! At the owner's house I have a generic clean up messes, give any medicines, feed, water, and give lots of love and treats! I am open to doing more as needed as long as the communication is there!
“She really cared about Arlo and did a good job caring for him. Took action when he got sick and took him to the emergency room for me. Prompt responses when I reached out to me. Apologetic for any mishaps. Clear communication.”
“I had a family emergency and Andrew was available at the very last moment to watch our two labs. I had already met him because I booked him for October. I knew when I met him our girls would be well taken care of. He has really helped me out during a very tough time and I can’t possibly recommend him enough!!! He is just a really nice person who you can trust with your pets and your home!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Chandler was amazing to work with and so communicative with me throughout the process! He sent so many wonderful photos and videos and made me feel great leaving my pets in his hands!”
“Brittney was great with our dog Tucker! He is typically very timid around new people but Brittney was patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly! Would highly recommend Brittney!”
About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time 5 days a week. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.
About: I’ve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your pet’s needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Spring Lake is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $89 and $89 per night. On Rover, 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.

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.

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.
