“Anahi was great with taking care of our pup and cat. They were quick, friendly and professional from start to finish. Our pup, Frankie requires extra attention and Anahi handled everything great and updated us during the sit.”

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.

“I’m glad we found Laurel. She took great care of our Gipper. Giving medication to a cat isn’t easy, but it seemed the two bonded right away and Gipper received great care. We look forward to Laurel taking care of our little ones in the future!”
About: I approach each pet like you would a human by meeting their needs with love. I keep a clean house as well as the fur baby. I am very accommodating and friendly. I request at least 3 days notice unless an urgent need arises. I have experience with training dogs/cats. I’ve house sat for pet owners and cleaned. I’ve even taken care of exotic pets. I’ve worked with rescues who shy away from people. Let’s have a meet with your fur baby and discuss if I can meet your needs. I treat each fur baby like family! I ask to meet up so that the animal feels a sense of trust with me before you part for your journey away. I’d also like to meet you and put your mind at ease.
“We asked Chelsea to watch our 2 cats and 2 dogs in our house due to our one dog having separation anxiety issues. Chelsea met with us prior to our vacation and met all our animals. She even came on a walk with the dogs, so she could see how they behaved. She did a great time and communicated with us during vacation to let us know our pets were doing well. She also sent pictures which we enjoyed so much. I highly recommend Chelsea for pet sitting!!!”
“Rachel did an excellent job of sitting for my 2 very high energy fur babies overnight and 1 kitty. She kept in touch with me and sent me lots of photos which helped to keep my mind at ease since this was my first time leaving them. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
About: I'm a web designer who works 100% remote, am a true animal person at heart, and have been petsitting on the side since 2021. My family has three kitties (pictured in my profile is the sassy Bee Bee) and I have grown up with animals my entire life. I promise to care for your pets like my own. 💙 I work full-time about 8:30-5 fully remote - so wherever I have WiFi I'm all set! I love to house sit so I can give your pets even more love and attention throughout the day. However, I am also available for occasional drop-ins in the morning and evening during the week, and am usually fully available on weekends. I pride myself in following your instructions to a T. I'll always leave your home clean and your pets happy, fed, and safe. I also make it a priority to gather emergency information before any booking to be prepared in the case of any situation. Finally, I ask that I please be made aware of any cameras inside and/or outside of the home for the safety of myself and your pets.
“Outstanding care for two special‑needs cats, last‑minute booking, and stellar communication! Skye did a truly fantastic job watching my two cats, both of whom need extra care. One is blind, and the other is diabetic and receives twice‑daily subcutaneous injections, and Skye administered medications exactly on schedule. From the start, Skye was incredibly kind, flexible, and professional—especially given how last‑minute the booking was due to an emergency. I received regular updates, which were so reassuring. I appreciated knowing that medications were given on time, feeding routines were followed, and my cats were comfortable and safe. The initial meet-and-greet was warm and professional, which immediately put me at ease. Skye’s attention to our cats’ special needs was exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter. Thank you so much, Skye — your flexibility, compassion, and reliability are deeply appreciated. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend your care to anyone who has pets with medical or unique needs”
“Tokar was amazing! Our pup has a rather long list of feed and care instructions and Tokar was able to do everything we asked. We had pictures of her relaxing on the couch and she even slept in bed with her on the last night. If that doesn't say that she felt comfort having Tokar here, I don't know what does. It's always nerve-wracking leaving your dog and house in someone's care but I know in future we will have no qualms about using Tokar again.”
“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!”
“Heidi was wonderful with my senior dog! Lulu has a lot of quirks and needs a little extra care, but she handled everything perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and I could tell she was well cared for. Heidi is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spring Lake Heights
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Spring Lake Heights is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $105 per night.

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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.
