“We are so grateful to have met Leigh. We feel completely at ease leaving our little guys with her. She keeps us informed of how they are doing and makes sure they get lots of love while we are away. She is simply awesome!!”
“Wonderful experience all the way around with Nick! He watched our 2 dogs over the holidays while we were out of the country and did an awesome job keeping them safe, fed, warm, and loved. Our trip was extended by a day due to some flight delays and he was able to accommodate an additional night at the last minute, which was SO appreciated. We'd book him again in a heartbeat.”
“Brianna was amazing with my two pups. One can be a grumpy old man but he was such a happy pup with her. She kept me updated and sent pics throughout the night. She was so polite and respectful of my home. I would definitely rebook the next time I need help with the boys!!”
About: I’ve never not had pets in my life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, young and old, traditional pets and more exotic ones. I don’t mind caring for any type of pet— if it’s your baby, it’ll be mine too for a bit! Currently I have completely open availability! Some weekends I do theatre productions but those weekends are few and far between. I’m also a night owl and am open to care for your pets at all odd hours of the day or night. Routine is key for your pets. As a sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure your babies still follow their routine as if you were still at home. I have experience with more complex routines or routines that involve medication as well!
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
“We’ve used Elizabeth’s services multiple times for drop in visits for my Golden Retriever and recently she also house sat him for a week. Elizabeth is awesome - always punctual, easy to communicate with, very organized, kept us updated about Milo and we even came back to very clean house. I trust her completely with my pet.”
“We have used Tanja for some time. She's always reliable, on time, and our pups love her. He sends photos without fail and always make sure our pups get the same attention we would give them.”
“As usual Brad did a fantastic job. My dog has separation anxiety and needs to be watched in my home. He is consistent with updates and I get photos and videos while I’m away. I can’t put into words how appreciative I am for Brad and his help with my boy Alamo. I’ll definitely use him again and would definitely recommend him to others!”
“Wow! So impressed with Madison! Very happy to have her house sit with my big pup! He is 95+#s, and she did so well with him. All the check-in pictures and videos she sent me made me so happy to see my dog happy and hear how great he was doing. I appreciate Madison for taking on a big pup, still walking him and taking care of him during the snow storm we had. I came home, and my house was in great condition still and my dog seemed so calm and happy. Thank you again Madison, I appreciate you!”
“Magee-Lee did amazing with our two pups! One of our babies is very shy but she didn't seem to have a problem with Magee! We will be using her for future needs and definitely recommend to anyone that needs any pet service (including overnight). Shes extremely flexible, polite and reliable. I couldn't think of a better person to watch my fur children.”
“Jayne is the best, knowledgeable and comfortable with canines and their needs. She took excellent care of our pooch AND our home. Sometimes it takes a village, and we’re glad she’s part of ours!”
“We were so thankful to have Alexis watch our dog for the weekend! She met us beforehand, sent frequent updates, and took great care of our house and pup. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Ashley was fantastic! I was gone for 6 nights and needed someone who could stay each night with my senior baby. She kept me updated, the house clean and did a great job communicating and sent pics! I would recommend Ashley for being on time, trusting her with other fur babies and she has a great professionalism.”
“Louann arrived at the agreed on time. So dependability is a plus. We didn't have to stress or worry about anything. We received pictures and comments about our dogs. They were well taken care of and we have fiesty dogs and they require lots of potty breaks. My home was in good shape when we returned. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. We appreciate the care she gave and loved on our dogs.”
“We couldn't have been happier with Stephanie as our dog and house sitter! She took amazing care of our dog, Brooks, while we were away. We loved how she stayed in constant contact, providing regular updates and sending lots of adorable photos. It really put our minds at ease knowing that Brooks was in such great hands. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Can’t recommend Lindsay enough! She is one of the best rovers I’ve ever had. She took the best care of my two dogs and I never doubted that they were safe and happy. One of my dogs randomly decided to forget his walk training and Lindsay handled it so well and was able to get him out of it! My other dog takes Prozac and she made sure she got it every morning. She was SO easy to communicate with and I got so many pictures and updates. They keep looking around for her now that I’m back so I know they loved her!! She also took perfect care of my home. I would 100% have Lindsay watch them again!”
“Isabell did such an amazing job watching our two dogs. She was super communicative, proactive and was even nice enough to help us out with an extra morning drop in due to our evening flight being canceled, which delayed us from getting back to our pups in the evening as intended. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring she was, and will definitely book again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lakewood Village is $50

Torrie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. We have one dog with special-needs that actually ended up having some stomach issues and she handled it very well and took great care of him. He also has several different medications he has to take and at certain times and she was great with staying on his medication schedule and really spending a lot of time with both dogs and making sure they were happy and healthy. Our house also was very clean and well cared for while we were gone. This is the first time we’ve been able to go out of town since our dog was diagnosed with epilepsy so we now feel like we can actually take vacations and not worry about our dog when we’re not at home caring for him ourselves. I highly recommend Torrie for caring for your fur babies!
I have an older dog that I don’t like leaving with anyone other than my parents, so I was a little nervous, but Kelby did great. My dog loved her immediately, she stayed at my house, I got regular updates, and my house was just as clean as when I left it. Would definitely recommend!
Stephanie watched both my dogs over a holiday. She has house/dog sat for me before. One of my dogs has a seizure disorder so I’m picky about who watches them. Both dogs loved Stephanie and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakewood Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakewood Village on Rover is $67.41 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 4,754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakewood Village. 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 Lakewood Village 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 Lakewood Village 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 Lakewood Village 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.

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.
