Kristi, was amazing with our dogs. She meet with us before her stay and the dogs and her instantly hit it off. She kept in constant communication with how everything was going. Getting home and the dogs looked well rested and relaxed for her stay with them. Will definitely use her again for future stays if available when we need aomeone to watch them.

Grace was amazing. I have older dogs and Grace took the time to come meet them a few times before we left. I was gone for 7 days and my dogs where treated as family. And I received nightly photos. She stayed in our home. And the house was just like we left it. Would use Grace again.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, including feeding, walking, bathing, and keeping them active and entertained. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their environment. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves to play or prefers cuddles and relaxation, I adjust to their needs! As a hairstylist, I enjoy caring for others and building trust with my clients, and I bring that same care to pets. I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for!! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and any special care. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention, while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I always treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own

Late in getting this posted but Savanna was wonderful! Highly highly recommend her. She was so incredible with our pack of 6 for the weekend. Such a kind young lady and such a pet lover! Total trust and confidence in her. We moved herea year and a half ago and had no idea how to find a reputable sitter until hearing about Rover from our local vet. First time using the service and got SO lucky meeting Savanna. Will exclusively schedule with hergpi g forward.

Christina was able to dog sit for me at the last minute and I am forever grateful! I am picky about sitters and Christina was a complete pro, I would recommend her. Super communicative, respectful house guest, and most importantly she kept Titus very happy while we were away.

About: My childhood pets were a 180 lbs Great Dane/English Mastiff mix and an 8 lbs chihuahua, so I can care for dogs of any size. I have done countless hours of research on animals, especially dogs and their behavior, since I was young. I am great at keeping dogs calm and love taking them on walks and can work on leash training for those than need it, weather permitting. If the weather isn't cooperating, I have multiple indoor activities to keep your pet occupied as well! I brush shedding animals and I give baths. I give massages to dogs, especially seniors and our buff babies, which has a myriad of benefits. Administering medications isn't a problem for me at all, and neither is caring for animals with behavioral issues. I love taking and sharing pictures and will keep you in the loop to whatever degree you would like. I worked at a kennel for a year, but the care of the dogs was rapidly and I could no longer be a part of it, so I recently left. I also volunteer at the Kentucky Humane Society. I recently quit my job at a boarding facility because I didn't like how the animals were being treated and I am in the process of creating a business dedicated to petsitting. I'd spend majority of my time with your pet, whether it is at your home, at the park, going on a car ride, or some other adventure. There may be times I leave, but I won't be gone longer than 4 hours at a time, or I will inform you beforehand if it's unavoidable. I will care for your pet how you instruct me to and will not do anything without your express permission, which I will ask for before I stay with your pet. I have a basic questionnaire that I will ask you to fill out beforehand as well so I can keep it in my records. For animals under 15 lbs (other than hybrid indoor/outdoor cats), I will never leave them outside alone just for the off chance there are predatory animals. If there is no physical fence, the same rule applies for animals of all size, even if there is one of those invisible fences. If the feels-like temperature is over 85 degrees or under 35 degrees no matter the size or breed, I do not take the dogs on walks and I limit the time they are outside at a time. Certain sizes, breeds, and medical conditions may make the cut off temperatures change (i.e. pugs will not be walked when it's 80 degrees). How hot the concrete is also plays a part, but I base that on how it feels on my own hand. Animals that enjoy it receive massages, especially seniors and our buff pets. I brush them, play with them, and I have indoor games and activities for them for when the weather isn't cooperating, many that provide mental stimulation. When I'm petsitting, I treat the animal exactly as I would want my own to be treated--for them to follow instructions and to engage with them. When it comes to emergencies and vet visits, that is a case by case basis and if you want more information, please contact me!

Highest recommendation! Penny represents the utmost in professional care for your pets. We had the great fortune of using her in-home pet sitting while away on vacation. From the get-go, Penny set herself apart with highly responsive communication and respectful punctuality. She was immediately at ease with our pets, and provided numerous daily update photos so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Going further, she patiently provided the extra care our senior dog needs in terms of daily medication and food preparation. Penny is everything a great pet sitter should be!

About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.

Miranda did a great job with our house sitting. She is a responsive communicator, great at giving updates and following instructions as needed to keep things in order while we had to be away, and has competitive rates. There’s a good chance we will add her to our standing rotation of sitting help!

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I work to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household preferences. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior. With my background working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of attention to detail and prompt communication if concerns arise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 623 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laconia. 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 Laconia 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 Laconia 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 Laconia 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 Laconia. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
