“Kelly was amazing! She was very professional, great to work with and was so good to our animals. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous at first, but then we met Kelly and our worries disappeared. Kelly exceeded our expectations, we will definitely use her any time we need a pet sitter (as long as she’s available)!”

The pet is good and it has everything it needs, and I ensure the owners as well. Update them.

“Caryna was wonderful. She worked 10 days in a row watching my little cat Rosie. I could tell by the pictures that she sent, that Rosie was enjoying herself, eating well and most importantly getting plenty of playtime. Caryna is Rosie's new BFF and we will hopefully be booking her again and again. Thanks Rover and Thank You Caryna!”

About: Having my owns pets (a cat and three dogs) contributes greatly to my experience as a pet care taker. Although I have a lot of experience taking care of family and friends’ pets. I will be going to school part time so a lot of my time will be dedicated towards loving and taking care of your pets! With my own pets I am patient and attentive but I also know how to have fun. I always make sure that playtime is safe and healthy. I can adapt quickly to any situation, whether serious or playful. I understand that every pet will have a unique personality so I know how to adjust.

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering oral and injected medications, and keeping up with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely and treat them like I would my own, with lots of attention, affection, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I currently work part time in customer service, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, keeping pets company, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention while their family is away. For me, pet sitting is much more than simply stopping by to feed an animal. I genuinely enjoy building a relationship with the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable until their family comes home. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and truly enjoy being around them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. My own Chihuahua lived to be 22 years old, so I understand firsthand how much patience, consistency, and extra attention older animals can need. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very mindful of safety and cleanliness in both my everyday life and in clients’ homes. I carefully follow care instructions, keep an eye on changes in behavior or needs, and make sure pets are comfortable and their environment is clean and secure.

About: I have owned dogs since childhood and have volunteered at shelters a couple of times. Helping animals in anyway is my passion and I will go out of my way to accommodate to your pets needs. I have only cared for small dogs growing up so I am most comfortable with them. I love animals, growing up I’d want to take in every animal I saw out on the street. Unfortunately that is not suitable for me lol, but I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I enjoy meeting new animals as it can be fun to see how different their personalities present, it also gives me an opportunity to learn and adapt. Please rest assured that they will be in good hands :) With school now in session, I am available mostly during the weekends. Friday-Sunday (with exceptions) But if given an early notice I may be available for other days as well. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, I am sure we can work something out. I own one senior chihuahua, attend to stray cats and own fish. With my dog now being a senior, I am able to administrate supplements if needed. I can also attend to other animals in the house if needed. Such as doing water changes for your aquarium or feeding them. I have been a fish keeper for over 3 years. I will do my absolute best to show up however your pet needs.

About: The way I connect with dogs is on their level I enjoy playing around or if they want to sleep or just chill out I enjoy spending time with animals. I've been around dogs my entire life grew up with one of them inside and two outside of the home. I normally run on a daily basis as I try to stay as active as possible so walking or running your pet will be a breeze. As of right now my availability is wide open since I am home full time as well as overnights for any size dog will be welcome in my full size fenced yard. I'm more than willing to accommodate to any special request within reason for your pets needs in regards to feeding or walking or even sleeping.

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.

“Kharlee is fantastic! Kharlee dogsat for my 3 while I was gone on a trip and stayed with them at my home. This was my first time using a dog sitter and It was exactly what I was looking for - and I just came home to 3 very happy and safe puppers. Kharlee was awesome with communication and sending pictures and updates. She also made a point to do multiple meet and greets with my pups to make sure they would be comfortable with her. I will 100% be using Kharlee again and am stoked to have found someone my dogs are so happy with! :)”

“Vanessa came to the rescue when a different sitter fell through at the last minute. She was flexible with scheduling and great with communication, even sending pictures throughout her stay, unprompted. It was my first time leaving Rosie with someone I just met, and she made me as comfortable as possible. Rosie can be picky with people and take time to warm up, but she liked Vanessa instantly! I will definitely be booking with her again (:”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lamont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lamont. 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 Lamont 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 Lamont 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lamont 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.
