“Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.”
“Melissa was amazing with our baby Zelda! We were in Florida for a week, and she kept us up-to-date on everything twice a day. She kept our house nice and tidy as well. It was such a relief to have someone so kind, reliable, and respectful watching our Zelda, and home, while we were away. We look forward to having her back! :)”
“I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens. Kind of last minute, I decided to take a quick weekend trip. My younger dog is a handful and I was worried that I would not find the person to understand and care for my puppy and all the others. Then I contacted Joshua. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable about breeds and specifics and best of all!?!? Finn likes him. I had a wonderful trip. Joshua sent photos and videos and kept me updated on how everything was at home. He stayed at my home and also hous sat for me. Joshua kept the house the way I keep it. He made ire to collect my mail and some medicine that was accidentally shipped and needed to be refrigerated. I would highly recommend Joshua for both house sitting and keeping a bunch af what most people would refer to as a group of large animals. Thank you Joshua!!!”
“WOW what a great experience! David was amazing he sent me pictures and updates on my boy! Gunner was so well taken care of! it is hard traveling and hoping that someone is taking care of your pup like you would! my house was left exactly as i left it! in the future should i need someone to watch my dog I would definitely reach out and have David care for Gunner! thank you so much”
“Crystal was awesome with our little feline critter, Lola, when she cat/house sat for us recently. She kept us updated with photos & helped Lola emotionally while we traveled. So lovely to be able to have a trusted sitter … peace of mind embodied in a very kind animal loving pet sitter. Thanks Crystal! Hope you’re still available for when we travel again.”
“Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!”
“Jessica was great! Helped us out in a pinch by dog sitting our pooch at our apartment. Super friendly and easy to communicate with. We had one happy dog that night! Def recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!
About: Had my first pet at a young age and I have always shown them love and attention. Love how much they just want to be Love and be Loved. Work part time and have lots of time to Pet Sit. Very flexible with my schedule and this is something that will be perfect for me to do as I love and do well with our Fur Family. I've got a yard with fence around it and for my cats they have a cat litter box on each for so they have easy access to it. I'm very attentive to making sure their cat litter gets scooped up daily to keep them happy, healthy and comfortable.
“Repeat booking with Brittni for a week long trip - as always, a great relief to know our two high energy dogs and elder cat are in the best hands. Thank you, Brittni!”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Bella was in such good hands. I received frequent updates and pictures. I truly can't say enough good things about the care Bella received.”
“Jackie took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat while we were gone for a long vacation. The house was cleaned when we came back home. She communicated about how everyone was doing throughout our trip. I highly, highly recommend her!!”

“Justina has housesat for us twice now (once for about two weeks and once for a weekend) and watched my two pups and cat. She’s done an awesome job, kept us informed, sent pictures, and left the house very clean. We’ll be using her again anytime we travel!!”
About: I grew up with 2 labradors and a cat for 15 years, and I currently have experience with a 2 year old pitbull. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have great experience working in 2 veterinary hospitals, so I also know proper animal restraints and signs of sickness or discomfort. I love all kinds of dogs and cats and love spending time playing and being active with them. I’m currently a fully remote employee for a social services nonprofit. This job gives me the needed flexibility to provide the right care for your animal! I’m available on weekdays or weekends for walks or drop-ins.

I love a greeting from your dog or cat right away or to grab them from a crate or room if needed and return them to the same spot once we’re done.
“Robert did great with our 2 Great Danes. He gave daily updates with pictures and was very responsive to all texts. He stuck to the dog’s schedule and made sure they were well taken care of while we were away. I definitely plan to use Robert again next time we go away!”
“Dani was a wonderful Dogsitter for my dog Lola. She kept me in the loop with any questions or concerns along the way since this was her first time at my home with my dog. She did a magnificent job. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Ebony was very wonderful to work with. She was very caring and kind and conscientious and willing to help us in anyway with any little request that we had when she stayed with our kids (our dogs😉) while we were away. She sent us a great amount of pictures and diaries of the day which is great for a pet parent to receive while they’re away. I cannot say enough good things about Ebony and I highly, highly recommend her to take care of any of your pets . We will be contacting Ebony again… if she’s not too busy😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lanark
Jayden watched our two German Shepherds for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was extremely communicative throughout our trip, keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing, sharing pictures, and making sure we had peace of mind while we were away. She took them on walks daily, sometimes even twice a day, and went above and beyond by bringing in our packages as well. We returned home to happy pups and a spotless house, which was such a wonderful surprise! One of our dogs is especially rambunctious, so we were a little nervous since we'd never had anyone other than family care for them. However, Jayden handled everything perfectly and did an amazing job with both dogs. We are so grateful for her care and attention, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lanark
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lanark on Rover is $58.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,568 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanark. 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 Lanark 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 Lanark 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 Lanark 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.
