Absolutely perfect! kind, gentle, calm, trusting. Our basset is 10 months, never been on vacation, rode for 9 hours, and had anxiety. Sheilya is the best and Burt loved her so much he cried when she left. If you want your pups loved on and cared for I highly recommend Sheilya.

About: I haven’t had the opportunity to take care of pets that weren’t mine. However, I do currently have two dogs and in the past I had a cat, ferret, yorkie, and pitbull. I’m currently in college, so I have time after classes and on the weekends and if planned ahead of time I can also do between class time. I would care for your pets the way I would want someone to treat and care for mine. I would listen and learn if they need any special care or diets they might need. I would try my best to build a trusting relationship with your pets so everything runs smoothly.

Kimber was so sweet to our girl, Knoxx! She was always quick to respond to any messages we sent and wanted to make sure that our dog was well taken care of! She sent several pictures and even treated her to a nice long walk at the park! We cannot thank her enough!

Heather was absolutely amazing with our Frenchie, Peaches! She stayed at our home and provided top-notch care. We loved getting regular updates and adorable pictures of Peaches while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and in good hands. When we came home, Peaches was her usual cheerful, content self, which says it all! Heather treated our pup and our home with so much care and respect. We can’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

About: What makes me different? I’ve been caring for pets since I was 15 years old and have experience with animals of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I genuinely love spending time with animals, building trust, and creating a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I treat every pet like my own and enjoy every moment of caring for them As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work pet care visits around my classes. I can stop by throughout the day to check on, feed, play with, and care for your pets. If needed, I am also available for overnight stays and extended care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to dedicate several hours to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am happy to stay in your home to provide comfort, companionship, and consistency for your pet while you’re away. I can follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medications, and bedtime routines. Whether your pet is crate-trained or prefers to free roam, I will respect your preferences and ensure they are safe and comfortable. I am committed to going the extra mile to give your pet the attention, care, and security they deserve, treating them as if they were my own.

I can crate your dog if needed.

Alicia was the best sitter I could have asked for. She took the best care of my dog one could ask for. My dog was drawn to her instantly and didn't leave her side when she was watching him. I couldn't be happier with her service.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.

About: About Me 🐾 Animals are my thing—always have been, always will be. I’ve worked with everything from birds and dogs to snakes, goats, and more, so nothing really surprises me at this point. From bottle-fed babies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC (or to be carried around like royalty), I’ve got the patience, experience, and heart for it all. I’m the person who will sit with your pet, talk to them like they’re human, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends for years—whether it’s a high-energy puppy or an older pet who just needs a calm, gentle presence. Reliable, attentive, and maybe a little extra when it comes to care—because your pet deserves nothing less. 💁‍♀️🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are naturally built into my schedule to ensure consistent, loving care every day. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, while providing lots of attention, comfort, and a safe, stress-free environment.

About: Hello! I’m Rheya and I seriously, love pets. With owning over 5+ pets in my life, I have learned to grow with, and not against animals and knowing their behavior and individual needs. As the saying goes, “happy dog happy life” has never been truer especially when the pressure is on with life. I have exposer to training dogs, and maintaining an instilled disciplinary environment for my pets over the years. I would LOVE to provide your pets a time of fun to give you, your time of sun! *I OFFER OFF APP OPERATIONS AS PER REQUEST* ^i have received several reoccurring clients off app (also reduces the crazy rover fees!) I am currently working part-time as well as being a part-time student in college. I am available weekends primarily, either overtime or whatever your specific need is, as well as weekdays when available. Following the schedule in place from the owner, I will adhere and implement said schedule, from potty walks to backyard zoomiez! We do the same here at my household (Leo is crazy for both).

About: I’ve owned a few dogs growing up and I took care of feeding, bathing, and walking them every day and walks were every other day. I’m off work usually by 3:00-3:30, Monday through Friday but have weekends off. Your fur babies are welcome into our home whenever a play date is scheduled or if you need a weekend get away I’m more than happy to come to your home to take care of them. Their comfortability is my #1 priority. I make sure while I am at the owners home I either take their dog(s) on a walk or if there’s a yard go outside and play for 30-40 min to get the zoomies out; then go back inside, feed and relax, outside break one more time before I leave.

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats with all personalities, and even the occasional critters. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry friend happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers purr—your pet is in good hands! :) I work part-time, and I’m a college student. My class schedule is 3pm-7pm Monday through Thursday, then will occasionally work on the weekends (not much) which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily work around your pet’s routine. My lighter schedule allows me to be attentive, present, and reliable, making sure your pup gets the love, play, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow their usual routines closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure and cared for. In my home, pets have cozy spots to relax, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure their pet feels comforted by familiar surroundings. I always aim to give each pet the same love and care I’d give my own.

Came to the area from a different state to house hunt. Day 1, 45 min into the search received a call from the hotel that our dogs were barking and howling. Not wanting a repeat, I contacted Addie (Autumn) to see if she was available to come to our hotel and keep the pups occupied. She was quick to respond and well-versed. She came the next morning and I walked with her to ensure she could handle our leash pullsr and our blind dog at the same time. No issues and I and the dogs felt comfortable. So I handed her over our room key, told her to use it to get lunch, told the 4-legged kids bye, and left, She sent me photos a couple times during her stay and let me know all was good. She did get lunch and didn’t go crazy, as she could have! Upon our return that evening to our exhausted and happy pups, I found out her room key card had stopped working, but she handled it without issue. I’m just this one sitting Autumn showed knowledge, integrity, insight, and responsibility in caring for our dogs. When we move to the area we’ll certainly be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Grand Lagoon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Upper Grand Lagoon on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Grand Lagoon. 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 Upper Grand Lagoon 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 Upper Grand Lagoon 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 Upper Grand Lagoon 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 Upper Grand Lagoon. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
