“We are so grateful we found Donelle. Immediately upon meeting we knew she would be a great fit for our pets. She was super lovely and kind, really thoughtful and thorough when it came to our pets care instructions. It eased our worries and hearts knowing she was there while we were away. 10/10 will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I go by Alex, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own: Mako (the 9-year-old Pomeranian pictured on my profile), Sammy (a 13-year-old Terrier mix, not pictured), and Pumpkin (a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur Pug mix, not pictured), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet’s care, safety, and daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, usually the smaller to medium sizes, and all energy levels, whether they need long walks, structured feeding schedules, or simply extra attention and companionship while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved from the moment we meet. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for just like they would any day at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I slightly work part-time, but I can usually always fit a walk or some type of care in, one way or another. Just lemme know! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walking guidelines, and any special preferences your pet may have. I maintain a calm, clean, and attentive environment so pets feel secure and stress-free while in my care. I also believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident.

About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school and want to help more people around my neighborhood and other communities with dog care. I’ve helped with a handful of different types of dogs and aside from dog care love helping out however I can. I’m currently working part time as security for special events. I am also enrolled in college online, but would like to take advantage of my free time helping others. I have a fenced yard and a dog husky mix of my own but she is extremely friendly even towards puppies, playful, or dogs that can be aggressive sometimes. I also have a garage in my backyard thats been converted to a room for me and the dogs I watch overnight or on weekends for friends or family. Aside from somewhere comfortable to sleep I make sure the dogs go on walks, get play time in the yard, and are hydrated/fed. I also have an excessive amount of toys for each dog to choose from during their stay along with a large crate in the yard that can also be moved into the back room for dogs that need to be crated.

My schedule is very accommodating as I am willing to go out of my way to ensure your pets are cared for. I have a flexible job, and a home that is equipped to care for animals!

Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and kindness while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly friend is in caring hands!

“Kayla is fantastic and highly recommended. She was super responsive right away which was fantastic for a last minute request that I didn’t expect would actually happen- but it did! My goldendoodle and Belgian shepherd took a liking to her right away. She even mustered the courage to walk them even after I warned her they are high energy pullers and walking wasn’t necessary.

The average cost of House Sitting in Spring Valley Lake is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $45 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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.
