“Megan is AMAZING! She was 110% responsible and loving with my 2 dogs and in my home. When I returned from my trip my dogs were so relaxed, I've never seen them so content.....ever, after being gone. She walked them everyday and sent pics of them walking and later snuggling. Truly one in a million she is!”
“Jo was amazing with our high energy dog! It was so nice to not worry about our dog while we were away, and made our vacation even more relaxing. I can’t recommend her enough she went above and beyond!!”
“Gislene did a great job. She watched our house and our dog for us. She communicates very well with daily texts and pictures and our dog was very comfortable with her. We highly recommend her to others.”
“Alexis was above and beyond! She was extremely communicative and didn’t hesitate to ask amazing questions of how to care better for our pets! I recommend her with complete confidence that you will be pleased.”
“Bethany was absolutely amazing with all 3 of our girls who have different personalities. She was able to adjust and meet the needs of each fur baby. I checked on the girls halfway through our trip and Bethany gave me a good report with pictures. She was very respectful of our home.”
“Jessica was simply wonderful. We had a disaster happen with a sitter in the past, so I was really scared when our friend wasn't able to watch them while we were out of town. But during the meet and greet, both pups loved her right away, even belle who's our nervous one. It just felt like a good fit upon meeting her. She agreed to housesit our 2 little pups, and she proved us right! Jessica showed up when she said she would, kept us updated throughout her stay with details and pics, walked them several times a day, and even took them on a car ride complete with pup cups as a special treat. The dogs were smiling in every pic she sent. It simply couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you so much, Jessica, you are our go-to sitter from now on 🐾💜”
“Valerie was awesome. The day we were supposed to have our meet and greet I had to take Gidget to the vet because she was not eating. The vet wanted to keep her a few hours which pushed back out appointment time. Valerie was very understanding and flexible. Valerie was awesome with each of our dogs who have very different personalities. She was able to give Gidget the medication the vet has prescribed. Valerie contacted me to see if she could try something to help Gidget to eat. She went over and beyond to take care of our girls. Valerie contacted me daily to let me know how each of the girls were doing. Valerie was also very respectful of our home. I am very grateful for her!”
“Amber is an incredible pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our three dogs with someone we didn’t know, and it was in our own home. She kept us updated daily with photos and videos, and our dogs were so happy and comfortable with her. We felt so relieved and were able to relax and enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Amber’s services and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Christine was awesome! She was so good with our little guy and helped him settle into a new place. I booked way in advanced and she was the first sitter that did not cancel and checked in with me. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing with my boys over the 4th of July weekend! She was so responsive and sent a lot of pictures (without me prompting), which let me know they were in the perfect hands! Hands down recommend her for any of your pets/furbabies! But especially if you have an older border collie mix with a strange personality—she handled him with grace and love. Definitely book with Jenna!”
“Lisa is the dog whisperer. She is so caring for your pet and actively involved with your dog. Or any pet she will watch for you! Absolutely recommend Lisa for all your needs!!”
“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
“Cassidy was amazing!! She stayed in our home, is so kind, played with our English bulldog Eevee a ton, and she is a strong communicator. I will definitely be booking her again. She really went the extra mile.”
“Charlie was a lifesaver for us! We had a quick wedding trip and were close to missing our flight and she made sure our dogs would be taken care of until we could make it home. She always does an amazing job with our pups and they always have a great time.”
“Angelica did a great job house sitting our dogs. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. She cleaned up after our dogs and left our home in good order. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“My husband and I went to Paris for a week and looked for some help with our two dogs, one 11 with back leg issues and a 2 year old pup full of energy. We matched with Taelor and set up time to meet her and Nilla (beautiful retriever). She arrived on time and everyone hit it off from the get go. Taelor moved in the day we left and stayed with our dogs for the full week looking after our dogs and sitting our home which was a huge relief for us. From day one Taelor communicated with us and sent photos of walks, play time, and some meal time updates. It was such a boost for us 5000 miles away to know our dogs were being treated with such love. By the mid point of the trip we were sharing some of Paris with Taelor as she shared photos from home. I cannot stress enough how incredibly communicative she was everyday. We got home to a pair of dogs super happy to see us but well looked after. The dishes and bedding were all washed (not requested) and the house was in perfect shape. We have already booked Taelor for a future trip and I cannot recommend her more strongly. Her rates are more than fair for the service she provides. It is like having a family member look after your pets. She is quite frankly the best. Thanks Taelor”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Lorraine
Margaret was absolutely phenomenal with our crew! I needed a last minute house sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats and she exceeded my expectations! She shared updates and pictures several times a day and took excellent care of not only our furry gang but our house as well. It was neat as a pin upon our return and we were greeted by happy, smiling pups. We are so grateful we found Margaret!
Elizabeth went above and beyond to look after my pet and house sit. She spoiled my dog with an abundance of walks and treats and cleaned my house before she left. She left it in better condition than when she got there. Even to the point of folding the toilet paper.
Andrea took care of my 2 elderly dogs the way I would! She is very organized, listens, and writes down everything you say about their needs. She asks questions for clarification and immediately responds to any concerns you have. She is punctual, caring, and i have never met a sitter who communicates so well with both messages and pictures. She’s incredible and definitely a star sitter ❤️🐶🐶❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Lorraine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Lorraine on Rover is $44.4 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 514 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Lorraine. 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 Lake Lorraine 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 Lake Lorraine 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 Lake Lorraine 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 Lake Lorraine. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
