About: Over 10 years of experience caring for my own pets, fostering dogs for rescues and my local shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life from bottle-feeding newborn puppies to meeting the special needs of senior dogs. I’m experienced with positive-reinforcement training, daily walks and exercise, specialized feeding routines, medications and individualized care needs. Most importantly, I understand that our four-legged companions aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I provide every dog with the patience, love, attention, and personalized care I would want for my own. While I work full-time, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable pet care during evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need a weekend sitter, evening visits, or extra care while you’re away for a holiday. My goal is to make your time away worry-free, knowing your pets are receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I’m happy to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention.
“Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!”
About: What sets my pet care apart is my experience, attentiveness, and love for animals. I care for pets of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I can train puppies in basic commands and provide specialized care for seniors, including medication administration and comfort adjustments. I take the time to understand each pet’s routines and needs, tailoring my care accordingly. Regular updates and photos keep you informed, as your peace of mind is vital. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that your pet receives the best care possible. I am currently a student at Brookdale Community College, and my class schedule is very flexible year-round. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you informed of my availability. If anything changes or comes up, I will provide as much notice as possible. Caring for pets is a passion, and I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in every interaction. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm visiting yours, their well-being is always my top priority. In my house, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can feel safe and loved. I ensure that the environment is free of hazards, with secure spaces for play, rest, and relaxation. I also keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time to ensure they are always safe and secure. I follow your pet's routines to minimize stress and create a sense of familiarity. I keep their food, water, and toys organized and accessible while providing plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I'm also happy to send regular updates, including photos, so you can feel confident about your pet's care while away. I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs and preferences for all services. Whether it's a specific feeding schedule, medication, or extra cuddles.
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience. I love walking and am happy to provide your pup with the exercise they need. I also specialize in senior dog care including medication administration. I am home full time so I can give your pet all of the love and attention they need. I am a very active person. I live in a pet friendly apartment with an outdoor space. I am happy to learn and adjust to the needs of each unique animal.
“I highly recommend Andrea! She took excellent care of my puppy Murphy while I worked. She responded immediately to all of my text messages and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving Murphy with her Knowing that she would take good care of him.”
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
“Darlene is AMAZING! We have 4 dogs and Darlene went above and beyond to make sure they were treated like royalty while we were on Vacation. As soon as we met her, we knew she was the one to watch our furbabies. Darlene's communication was outstanding, Sent pictures, tended to all of their needs, and communication was phenomenal! She made our Vacation stress free with no worries!”
“April was so amazing dog sitting Dusty. She was kind and very helpful, considering Dusty is an older puppy with some ailments and medication needs. She took great care of Dusty and he loved being with April. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and starting pet sitting for extra cash in Middle school. That’s continued on through my post college years thanks to my flexible work schedule. I’m well versed in caring for dogs with extra healthcare needs. One of my family dogs had epilepsy for 8 of her 12 year life, so I’m well versed in caring for a dog who is experiencing a tough moment physically and emotionally. I also know all of the tricks to get them to take their medicine! Additionally, i have cared for our other dog while she recovered from a torn ACL. I work from home and am always around on the weekends so perfect to care for a dog while folks are working, on a trip, or just need someone to pop in for a walk while they’re going about the business of everyday life. When your pet is in my care, it gets treated like it’s my own. It gets to lounge on the couch, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of play time. I live on a quiet street with a small fenced in area to stretch their legs and be outside in addition to the plenty of walks they’ll get while in my care.
“Karin was fabulous with my dog Marco! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone with photos and messages, and you can tell she treats pets like they’re her own. I will definitely be rebooking :) thank you again Karin!!!”
“Courtney was great to communicate with and I felt so comfortable with our dog in her care. She's very warm and our anxious pup took to her immediately. She sent regular updates, including photos, and was flexible when we needed to adjust the timing of the stay. Would absolutely trust her to watch Loki again!”

Ciara was a great dog sitter! She stayed with our Goldendoodle Boo recently for 2 overnights. She was attentive to Boo, sent pics and was quick to respond to texts. She is definitely a dog/pet person and has quite a bit of experience sitting with dogs. I would not hesitate to use her again. It is hard to find someone that is reliable and responsible and we were lucky to find her!
We absolutely love Sheryl but more then that our little girl Sugar loves her !She is so excited to see her every time she comes to sit with her and play and just give her love and attention and don’t forget the belly rubs not just anybody get’s to rub the belly ! Thank you again Sheryl🐶😍
Tina took amazing care of my very anxious and shy pup! She was extremely willing and flexible to meet with Fig multiple times prior to the weekend she was watching him. She made him feel comfortable to trust her, and took amazing care of him over the weekend. She sent us updates throughout, and we were very grateful that Fig was in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Tina!
Mellissa is amazing My pus LOVED her and my husband has never agreed to leave the dogs, and she truly made him feel comfortable doing so. she checked in, followed directions written out and in sent pictures and left the house in better condition she received it in. To come home to calm pups who actually were sulking because she was gone was immeasurable and quite the blessing . I cannot praise her enough
Catherine was a blessing when we needed a sitter to stay with our Bella while we attended a family funeral. She was thorough in making sure she understood our care instructions, she was loving in her handling of our pup, and careful and respectful of our home. We have a laundry list of things that go into her meals and she carefully read through and made sure she knew where everything was and how it was administered. I am always a little worried when we leave the pup, but I felt sure that Bella would be in good hands after walking thru things with Catherine. She kept us informed with daily diary entries of the day's events and a stream of pictures of Bella's walks and couch sessions. We would not hesitate to use Catherine again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 7,658 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
