“Heather did such an amazing job! We have two mini dachshunds and she sent lots of photos and updates. It was such a relief knowing that they were in great hands! She truly went above and beyond! The house was also spotless when we got home. She will always be our go to dog sitter!”

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: I’ve had many pet growing up and have a strong love for animals. I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and birds. I pick up lots of freelance odd jobs and do not currently have a true sit down "job". So there will be plenty of time for taking care of your pet properly! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment that helps pets feel secure and loved while their favorite people are away. I always follow the owner’s routines and instructions carefully. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I make sure doors are locked, pets are supervised, and I give updates as needed to give you peace of mind. I also take pride in respecting your home, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to build trust. Not just with your pet, but with you too. I know it can be hard to leave your pet behind, and scary to leave your babies in someone else's hands while you're gone. I'm reliable, detail oriented, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

“Cindy was amazing. She stayed at our home for several days caring for our 15 year old poodle Scarlett. She gave her attention, sent us updates and we never had to worry about Scarlett. The mail was inside, the plants were watered and the dog was happy. Thank you Cindy. You’re the best!!❣️”

About: I have over 7 years experience of house/pet sitting caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. My past nursing experience has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.

Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! Our dog sitter went above and beyond caring for our puppies during a hurricane while we were away. Before evacuating with them, she even took the time to close up our house for us. Knowing our babies were safe with someone so caring and dependable meant everything during such a stressful time. She treated them like her own, and we will never forget the kindness and care she showed our family. We are so grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾

Shyla stayed at our home from Thursday through Monday morning to care for our two dogs, Panda and Teddi, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. The care, attention, patience, and love she gave our girls was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. She treated Panda and Teddi as if they were her own, and that means more to us than I can put into words. Panda requires a little extra patience and care, and Shyla went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. She was equally wonderful with Teddi and handled everything beautifully throughout her stay. Not only did Shyla provide outstanding care for our dogs, but she also gave us something incredibly valuable while we were away, peace of mind. We never had to worry about whether they were safe, comfortable, or receiving the attention they needed. Shyla is dependable, trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with animals. It is very obvious that she truly cares about the pets entrusted to her. She was absolutely outstanding, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did. Five stars simply doesn't feel like enough!

I used John for overnight stays while I was on vacation out of state. He was easy to communicate with and respected the house and the rules I set for my pup. Pretty much all you can ask for. Would use him again.

Cherie took such good care of my babies and updated me with amazing pictures and texts. She really took the time to get to know each of them separately, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Cherie!

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 of House Sitting in Upper Grand Lagoon is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 180 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 , 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.
