“I was very nervous to leave my dogs, especially the one who was so scared. She was so nervous she would not eat. Paige worked with her and finally got her to eat. I appreciate her watching over them and taking good care of them.”
“Christine did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and house. We were greatful she was willing to house/dog sit for us when we had a last minute family emergency pop up.”
“Penny was very easy to work with and my dog was very relaxed around her. She had no problem doing anything I asked was very sensitive to my dog’s needs.”
“Rachel was awesome! She was great at communicating and kept me well updated while I was away. My pup was happy and content in her care. She was super flexible with my last minute scheduling. She did an awesome job.”
“Jacqueline was awesome, this was the first time we've used a house sitter and our one dog Cejas is very shy and I'm always worried about her but I didn't worry at all this trip. We got lots of updates that let us know all was going well and she even took them to their favorite dog park. We will definitely book Jacqueline again in the future!”
“Luliia took care of our two big guys for 10 days, giving them all the love and attention they needed while we were gone. We could rest easy knowing that our dogs were in good hands and someone was watching over our home. When we came home, our house was in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend — will definitely be using Luliia again!”
“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”
“Olivia went above and beyond this week! She extended her stay when my plans changed because of weather and was very flexible with her schedule. She also did some housekeeping tasks that helped me out when I was away, I appreciate her willingness to take care of them for me!”
“Abby was fantastic with our three pets! She was very communicative ahead of time about our needs. When Abby stayed at our house, she took care of all the medicines, walks, and everything we needed. Plus, they sent us a ton of pictures while we were gone. It was great know that our pets were in safe hands the whole. Definitely would recommend Abby for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Kristina is ah-ma-zing! She sends multiple videos/photos during the stay, and obviously loves working with animals. She’s excellent person and we will rebook with her in a heart beat”
“We just got back from a weeklong trip & Bri watched my 3 year old Basset Hound. I CAN NOT say enough wonderful things about her. Butters is a neurotic, difficult dog and she was MAGIC! Her communication was top notch. So many pictures and videos all week (which we loved). Our house was in better shape than when we left. Can not recommend enough!”
“Judi was great with our nervous pup who hates to be alone. She was a very conscientious houseguest and communicated with us regularly about how our girl was doing. We're really happy we booked her.”
“Katrina did a great job with the three cats, and administering a topical medication that they are not keen on receiving. I got plenty of pictures of the cats throughout her stay. It's our first time using Rover and everything went as perfectly as could be.”
“Tilia did a fantastic job with my stubborn but rambunctious dog Luna. Luna was in great spirits when I got home, the house was in perfect condition and she even watered my plants! Would definitely have her sit Luna again.”
“Jenna & Kenneth were great taking care of our entire fur baby family of four while on vacation. Our Aussie Finn is full of energy and he seemed so happy to someone to play with while we were gone which is hard to find!”
“Sarah did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our dog while we were away for the holiday. It can be hard to be away, and we really appreciated knowing Isabella was well cared for. Sarah was responsive to any updates or requests, was very communicative, and shared helpful updates throughout. She took Isa on outings and walks, and adjusted her care when Isa’s stomach got upset. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We hope to have Sarah stay with Isa again in the future!”
“We had such a great experience with Rachel! She stayed overnight with our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such kind and capable hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive, loving, and patient with both of our pups. It was clear she truly cares about animals and treats them like her own. She kept us updated, made sure they were comfortable, and gave them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to two very happy dogs and a house just as we left it! We would absolutely trust Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunfish Lake
Paige was easy to get in touch with, both before and during the sit. She is warm and friendly, and the cats took to her immediately. She send us numerous pictures and updates throughout the three night sit, so we knew our girls were in good hands. She went above and beyond, and left the place in great shape. Would love to work with her again!
Annie was fantastic from start to finish! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible (especially important for us since our dogs are used to having two work-from-home parents around all day since Covid). We needed someone who could stick around and spend extra time with them, and Annie was more than willing. She quickly arranged a meet and greet and then stayed in our home with our two hounds for five nights. One of them has some separation anxiety and can be a bit timid, but he warmed up to Annie right away—a true sign of her calm and caring presence. She kept in great communication throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two happy dogs and a spotless house. We’d absolutely book with Annie again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunfish Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunfish Lake on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunfish 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 Sunfish 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 Sunfish 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 Sunfish 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
