“Alyssa did a great job!! She was attentive, communicated well and followed instructions well. The dogs and cats were happy and healthy when we returned and our home looked just how we left it! I would highly recommend Alyssa and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Torri took excellent care of our four legged’s. Unfortunately, one of our animals had an unexpected medical crisis. Torri swiftly acted and handled the situation with care, professionalism, and love. She definitely served as our surrogate pet parent when we were 1300 miles away. Torri also left the house clean and tidy. Her pet care and house sitting was top notch. I would highly recommend Torri. Thank you, Torri.”
“Always timely and informative during visits. Very easy to talk to, easy to trust. I can count on Tanya to show up and make sure my pup is safe and well cared for. She’s extremely respectful of the space and you can tell she really does enjoy being with the pup. My go to for a sitter!”
“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”
About: I have always had a deep love for animals in my l life! I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life—they’ve always been a part of me! Growing up, I always wanted to be a veterinarian so that I could care for animals because that’s how much I love them! I have taken care of dogs and cats on and off over the past 13 years of my life through my best friend’s dog and cat sitting business, as well as owning my own pets. I’ve dealt with all sizes of dogs. I’ve walked the dogs, fed them, played with them, cleaned up after them, etc. I have always loved taking care of fur babies and I guarantee I will instantly fall in love with your pet! I will make sure they are spoiled with love and the best care possible! I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so I am completely free those entire days! On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work in the office from 10-3 but am free before and after that! I will spoil your pet with unconditional love and cuddles! I take pride in providing proper care for animals and making sure all of their needs are met. I am a high energy college athlete who absolutely loves animals!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Outstanding House Sitter! We had the absolute pleasure of having Mckenzie stay at our farm while we were on vacation, and she was incredible from start to finish. She cared for all of our animals with so much love and attention, sending us updates and photographs multiple times a day so we always felt connected. Partway through our trip, one of our pets experienced a medical emergency, and Mckenzie handled the situation like a true professional. She offered the perfect balance of support and independence—taking quick, thoughtful action while keeping us informed and reaching out at the right moments. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine care for our pets went above and beyond our expectations. Mckenzie is truly a five-star sitter, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future trips. Highly recommended!”
“Sydni stayed with our dog recently for the day while we were at the hospital. She communicated how things were going, sent pictures, and kept us up to date. We appreciated her care for our dog!”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals, including cats and dogs. I’m also a CNA with 5 years of professional caregiving experience, so I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific care routines. I’ll treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m active, dependable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s specific instructions and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or needs and will keep owners updated with photos and messages while their pet is in my care.
“This is the second time Aida watched our 2 big and high energy dogs and she did a great job! She was flexible in accommodating our last minute housesit request, made sure our dogs are happy and they seemed to enjoy her company!”
“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”
About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats from two different boarding facilities, one larger and one smaller, personalized facility! I currently work as a groomer. In addition, I have both volunteered time at the local senior dog rescue, Grey Face 🤍 while also fostering multiple dogs over time. I work with dogs on a daily basis all ranging from walks, training exercises, enrichment, grooming and nail maintenance, etc.. Please ask about any services I may be able to provide! My personal dog is the contributor to much of my experience as well. I have knowledge in training behaviorally challenged dogs with behaviors specifically focused on separation anxiety, human reactivity, bite risk/management, dog reactivity, and basic fear and anxiety in dogs. To me, a happy dog is one not only one that can play to their hearts content but one that also is allowed the time for mental enrichment through interactive toys, positive reinforcement training, routines, satisfying walks, and through games involving food and treats all of which I have learned through my own research and enrollment in online instructions. I would be happy to care for your pets and provide them with the most enriching time possible. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine! My schedule is flexible and ever changing- so, I can always check my availability and work to make your pet fit into my schedule if possible! I personally have a fenced in backyard; however, I have experience walking multiple dogs at a time and handling dogs safely in open environments. I make intentional points to always be attentive to dogs regardless if they are fenced in or not. When I am caring for someone else’s dog, or my own, I make sure their safety is guaranteed. This is a skill I have sharpened since owning a fear reactive dog and caring for multiple dogs on a daily basis.

“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She didn't hesitate to ask questions if she had any. She sent me photos of our pup while we were away. We definitely recommend her if you're in need of someone to watch after your fur babies.”
About: I have dog sat for a family friend for a long time now! I usually stay at her house and take care of her doggies. I am currently a full-time teacher looking for some extra work. If I stay over at your place, you would have to be okay with me leaving for the day to go to work, but I will come right back to take care of your loves. I am available most weekends :) I can take your dogs out for potty breaks, play fetch, take walks, etc. I love giving furry friends treats, pet rubs, cuddles. I can fill up the food and water bowls.

As well as having been around dogs a good portion of my life, I do my best to be what she needs I work very part-time at a dominoes, usually only 4-8 hours a week, i do have appointments on Tuesdays, lasting only about 2 hours so I am always home and have plenty of time for your beloved doggos I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a firmly secured tie-out and extra leashes for outside potty breaks and/or walks, as well as a 5 year old German Shepherd (she is spade) Who is very happy and animal friendly
“Natalee is amazing! She stayed with our two puppies and updated us on all the fun. Our one dog can be a little anxious, and by the end of Natalee staying with them, our dog had warmed up her completely. We highly recommend Natalee!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 624 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 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.

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.
