“Emidio was great with my two dogs! I booked on short notice, he came over the week before the stay for a meet and greet, and he was clear in communication. While he was staying at my house he sent several messages with pictures of the dogs. When I got home the dogs seemed comfortable and happy. I would recommend Emidio and would book with him again. Thank you Emidio!”
“Kinan was a perfect house guest and pup sitter. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We can’t say enough good things about him. If you are in need of someone, he is a great choice. We will be using him when we need a pup sitter again.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 7. From family furry babies, neighbors, and friends. I can walk, play, bathe, feed, cuddle, even nail trimming, and picking up after them. Because every furry baby deserves the best. I have a pretty open schedule. Other then my volunteer work i have nothing else going on. Whatever time you need for your furry family to be taken care of I can come to help. I am calm and patient, I am good at being stern enough and making sure im in control in terms of pet walking. I have good energy and only want the best for your furry friends.
About: Foster parent and I’ve had animals my entire life. Always trusted with friends’ pets. Experience with puppies and elderly dogs, big and small. I can handle a lot of pets at once. I work my time around the animals when I’m with them. they come first. I try to get them as much exercise as possible and social interaction. Very attentive to pets. I treat them like they’re my own children. Warm and safe environment that I create for the animals. I am tuning into what they need and want so that I can provide the best care.
About: With over 7 years of professional sitter experience, I’m the person you call when you have a very specific way that you like things done, and would really like to leave town without worrying about any of it😆 I genuinely love getting to know animals. I actually want the detailed instructions. My background is in private home management and personal concierge work, so looking after the house comes naturally to me too. If I’m staying in your home, I’m paying attention for mail and packages that may come in. Pet areas kept clean. Plants don't mysteriously die. Trash doesn't pile up. If something looks wrong, I notice it. I've cared for multiple-pet households, senior dogs, pets with special needs and homes during multi-month stays. I'm CPR/First Aid certified for cats and dogs, comfortable following medication routines, including oral and injected medications. I work remotely, which gives me an abundance of flexibility and means I actually do spend time with the animals I'm caring for😉 I work remotely, so I organize my schedule around the animals I'm caring for rather than trying to squeeze them into my day. Morning walk at 6:30? Fine. Medication with dinner? Can do. Your dog insists on conducting a complete neighborhood security inspection before bed? Why not? Because, apparently that's what we're doing! 🤷🏾♀️😆 I enjoy it and try to make it fun for your pet. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible and I follow your routines for meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime rituals, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. I’m also looking after the household while I’m there too. I keep things tidy, bring in packages, monitor the home, and make sure you return to happy pets and a cared-for space. I’m warm with animals and extremely self-sufficient. I'm also a good communicator. You're going to hear from me. You'll get photos, updates and anything important that comes up while you're away And if your dog happens to look suspiciously happy without you, I will gladly provide photo evidence. 😁
“Sarah was fantastic with our dog, Brody, and super flexible with our schedule. She was genuinely invested in making sure he was well taken care of, adjusted her schedule for what was best for us and Brody, and really made us feel like he was in good hands! Also sent a ton of pictures and great communication! Would absolutely recommend and will use Sarah again!”

“Megan was a pleasure to have taking care of our dogs and our house. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and happy. She also exceeded our expectations by keeping the house clean and even cleaned things we did not expect her to! We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking to have someone take care of their dogs/home.”


About: I own a car and clean record with driver's license so I can transport dogs to and from parks, or wherever the job takes me. My communication skills are seasoned with both humans and dogs. I do not shy away from reaching out to owners if there is an issue. I believe every dog deserves a pleasant time while their owners are away. This is my commitment to you. I’m opposed to all forms of bigotry and prejudice, and I treat everyone with equal fairness. Thanks for reaching out for a meet and greet; if you choose to do so there will be no pressure to accept the booking. Generally I am up and I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Before our first sit, we can do an introduction to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. They can often really use a run, walk, or visit to the dog park, and getting outside is something I enjoy doing with dogs. As a sitter, I see and interpret subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch". A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will reach out if they stop drinking water or eating when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use a gate to block access to stairs, allowing them to come upstairs when I am going upstairs.
“Whitney was incredibly responsive and easy to book with. Very flexible around a schedule change need. She took amazing care of my boys and home. Couldn't have been pleased with her/her service. Thank you!!”


“Kellye is truly one of the most exceptional dog sitters I have ever experienced, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She cared for my dog, Tinley, for over two months, which speaks volumes about the level of trust, consistency, and reliability she provides. From the very beginning, it was clear that Kellye genuinely loves animals. She didn’t just watch Tinley, she was truly invested in her and it was clear she formed a real bond with her. Tinley became completely comfortable with her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Kellye was incredibly attentive and responsible throughout the entire stay. She consistently kept me updated, communicated clearly, and always reached out if there was anything to note or any questions. She made sure Tinley stayed on her routine, including administering her medication carefully and reliably, which was extremely important to me. What really sets Kellye apart is the level of attention and involvement she provides. She didn’t just watch Tinley, she included her in her daily life, taking her along on car rides and to different places. It’s clear she puts genuine thought and effort into making sure the dogs she looks after are not only safe, but happy, engaged, and loved. She even helped coordinate and take Tinley to the groomer when I asked, which I really appreciated. Tinley came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. That says everything. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and truly passionate about animals, Kellye is the one. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her again without hesitation.”
“When we found ourselves in a pinch with our previous pet sitter canceling 3 days before a multi-week vacation abroad, Lauren saved us. Not only did she offer to stay, she came by to meet us and our dog to sense if it would be a good fit for all involved. She was a great vibrational fit for us and we sensed immediately what a good person she was. During the say, she communicated well with us about our home and our dog. When we arrived home, we found our dog well and balanced, a clean and orderly house and plants thriving. We can't say enough how lucky you would be to have someone as responsible and compassionate as Lauren care for your animal and home. We'd ask her back in a heartbeat.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Johnson Lane is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $77 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 Johnson Lane 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 Johnson Lane 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 Johnson Lane 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.
