“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.”
“Christine was very good with our 2 dogs and cat. While staying in our home, she left it clean and cared for it as if it were her own. Definitely will call again.”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“We are so thankful for Jacqueline who took amazing care of our dog while we were gone for a week. After a year of us working from home our dog now experiences separation anxiety - but being able to stay home and have someone as loving as Jacqueline take care of him not only gave us peace, but our dog too.”
“Took fantastic care of my dog, who’s still in a very high energy phase of his life and has some reactivity issues. He’s also a drama king, and Bailey spoon fed him on one of his fussier days!”
“Kelsey stayed with my anxious furbaby over the weekend and it went great! She provided daily updates and photos that totally eased any worry! It was comforting to know that my pup was well cared for while I was gone- I will for sure have Kelsey stay again in the future!”
“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”
“Julie is truly the best. She stayed in our home with our dog for 4 weeks while we were abroad. She updated us and sent pictures of our dog all the time & let us know what they were up to!! Our pup can be stubborn and a bit reactive at times, but Julie was amazing with him. We were nervous to leave for so long, but we came home to a very happy dog and spotless home. Would definitely recommend Julie to a friend or family member and of course will be using her ourselves in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving Enzo since adopting him. Enzo can be tricky at times and Alex listened carefully to our asks, his diet, and handled his behavior well. She communicated well and sent lots of fun pictures ☺️”
“Hannah took care of our yellow lab/house sat for several days when we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates daily and our dog looked so happy! Hannah was extremely accommodating to all of our requests and even left a very clean house for our return. Thank you so much Hannah! We are so lucky to have found you!!”
“Lilah was awesome with our dog while we were out of town for a night! She was timely, attentive, and made sure to send us updates & pictures! We’ll definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Pachee and her partner were an absolute dream to work with. I have a senior pup who can be a stubborn handful at times, and they blew any expectations (which were already high) out of the water. They took great notes on my senior pup’s med schedule/routine, made sure he got looooooots of love and attention and exercise, regularly sent pictures/videos, and took just as good care of the house. I could go on and on. The short version: The amount of love, kindness, respect, and care is unmatched. Definitely going to book with them again.”
“Katrina is fantastic! She is super attentive and our dog loved her. She is a great communicator and very conscientious. Next time we are out of town, she’s going to be our go to dog and house sitter!!”
“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!”
“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors cats and dogs for 12 years whenever they needed! This includes walking, feeding, and other care for their pets. My family has a wire fox terrier that I helped train and take care of as needed. I’m available any day during the week in the mornings and evenings! I am also available during the weekends too to care for your pets! My house sits on an acre of land and has areas nearby to walk where I would walk my dog. In my client’s home, I will treat their pets like my own and treat them with care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunfish Lake
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,397 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunfish Lake. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
