Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!

Kasper was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. They treated my dogs like their own. Patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I received consistent updates that put my mind completely at ease, and when I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Kasper exceeded every expectation. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Kasper!! you’re truly amazing!

About: Let me paws to tell you a little about myself! ☺️🐾❤️ My name is Merri. Since 2019, I have been a professional pet sitter, dog walker, and house sitter. I am Fear Free certified and have completed a course in Pet First Aid & CPR. My goal is always to maintain safety and comfort for your babies, and I always have treats to share with the pets I care for. I have cared for small and large dogs, from the littlest Chihuahua with the biggest personality to the goofiest gentle giant Bernie. I love cats, and will care for them like my own! I have experience caring for birds, bunnies, hamsters, reptiles, and guinea pigs! Here are some of the services I provide: - Drop Ins & Dog Walks: 30 minute visits 🥰 - Medication Administration (Including insulin injections & subacute fluids!) 🩺 - House sitting & overnight care (Extended Stays also available!) 🏠 - Experience with seniors, puppies/kittens under one year old, special needs pets, and multiple pets. 🫶🏻 - Day Trips to local parks 🏞️ & the beach. 🏖️ - Free bath for overnight care clients! 🛁 - Plant care 🪴 & mail retrieval. 📫 - Light housekeeping 🧹 & errand running. 🛒 I know the stress that comes from leaving your loved one with a new sitter or walker for the first time, so I would be happy to schedule a free meet and greet! I have very flexible availability, as I am a Psychology and Pre-Nursing student, and will work with you in any way I possibly can, even on short notice. Caring for your pets will always be my number one priority. I will be flexible to meet your needs and work with your unique schedule. I work on fostering a trusting, caring relationship with my clients. I am an open book, and the safety and security of your pets and your home is something I place incredible value on. Transparency and honesty is incredibly important for both me and you. I will care for your babies as if they were my own, because they’re family to me! In return, I just ask for honesty if you have cameras indoors. If you have questions or need extra reassurance, I am here for you. I know it is stressful and scary to trust a stranger with your family member, so I value getting to know my clients and offer meet and greets prior to booking services! 😊

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

About: Welcome to Bayville Paws Vacation Club 🐾 Your dog deserves more than a kennel; they deserve a vacation! At Bayville Paws Vacation Club, we provide loving, home-based care where every guest becomes part of our family. We intentionally accept a limited number of dogs, so each one receives personalized attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of love in a safe, comfortable environment. As lifelong animal lovers, our family has experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, ducks, chickens, and other small animals. We are also comfortable administering medications, including insulin injections and oral medications. During your dog's stay, they'll enjoy: • A secure fenced backyard for supervised play • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • A comfortable home environment • Daily photo and video updates • Personalized routines based on your dog's needs • Medication administration, if needed • Lots of love, cuddles, and one-on-one attention Our goal is simple: we want every dog to feel safe, loved, and excited to come back for their next vacation. Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking Every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow yours to keep them comfortable while you're away. During each visit I can: • Feed and refresh water • Walk or play with your pet • Administer medications • Bring in mail and packages • Water plants • Bring garbage cans in or out • Clean up accidents or litter boxes • Give your pet plenty of attention and affection If there's anything else you'd like done while you're away, just ask!

About: Growing up in an animal loving home, I have had the responsibility of taking care of dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, birds, turtles, mice, Guinea pigs, and an iguana. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, brush, clean, bathe, and play with their animals. I treat them as if they were my own and as if they were human. I currently work Monday to Friday 8-4:30pm and I am home on weekends. I am able to walk, feed, play, and follow potty schedules as you do in your home after work, on the weekends, or in my home for boarding. I do have owners who are ok with their dogs being in my home while I am at work but it is all about whatever you feel comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard with three house trained, dog friendly doggos. They get a walk everyday and let out as much as they need. My husband and I love to go in the backyard with them and run around or take them on adventures in the car. My dogs do sleep in our room, either in their beds or on our bed, whatever they prefer and that is the same option I will always give your dog. I can crate if needed/requested. Wally and Reed are fed three small meals a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening, but I know not everyone’s food schedule is this way. All feedings are separated from your dogs. My older dog has allergies and is given allergy medication daily as well as ear drops which makes me capable of following a medication routine. We also have a Furbo indoor camera that has all eyes on the dogs at all times and baby gates to separate large areas of our home just incase anything were to ever happen. There are times where I will be sitting other dogs as well as yours. All dogs are slowly introduced on leash in the backyard in a safe environment. I allow the dogs to take the time they need to settle in and get a feel and sense of smell of their surroundings. If an owner feels as though the stay will not work out, I am completely understanding. I would never want an owner or dog to ever feel uncomfortable in my home. If you are unsure of your dogs feelings toward other dogs, especially males, I always recommend a meet and greet in advance. I have never cared for a special needs animal, but I have taken care of very sick animals and making sure they are comfortable and accommodated for. If you have a special needs dog and are considering me, I would make all the accommodations necessary to make your pet feel right at home and comfortable.

Veronica is a loving, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and experienced pet sitter. In addition, Veronica came through for us 5 days before we were going away for my Step-Sons wedding. Our original sitter had a family emergency so I looked on Rover and found Veronica. She immediately answered when I requested her as well as came over the very next day for a “Meet and Greet”. Upon meeting her we instantly felt comfortable with her staying at our house with our baby,Marlee,for the weekend. She took such good care of her! Marlee needs eye drops 2 times a day and Veronica had no problem administering them twice a day. She walked, feed and played with her all weekend! She kept us informed and sent pictures of Marlee too! We had peace of mind knowing our little love was in such good hands. We highly recommend Veronica to take care of your fur baby!!

About: Hi! I’m Kaleigh, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years. I’ve always been a huge animal person, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their personality. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels, along with rabbits, chickens, birds, and reptiles. Whether you have a high energy puppy who needs lots of playtime or a senior pet who just wants some extra love and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I have two cats of my own, so I completely understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I treat every animal I care for like I would want someone to treat my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, and plenty of updates for you. My friends and family joke that I’m an “animal whisperer” because animals always seem to find me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to check out my reviews here on Rover, and please reach out if you have any questions Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. I have two cats and a boxer of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. When I’m caring for someone else’s pets, I make sure to work around their normal routine as much as possible. Whether they need an early morning walk, a midday visit, or some extra time and attention in the evening, I want them to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll always make sure they get the care, love, and consistency they’re used to. I care for every pet like I would my own. I always try to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure they get exactly what they need. I’ll also keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

Isabella was super friendly and my dogs loved her! My one dog has to take medicine every day twice a day at the same time and she made sure she gave him the meds at the right time and even texted me to let me know that they were given. She made sure to send me updates throughout the day to ease my anxiety about leaving them for a couple days. I will 100% be booking with her again if I go away for any reason. She was a delight!

Catalina is amazing! It's always nerve-wracking leaving pets with someone new. She came to meet them before we booked and made the transition as smooth as possible to my somewhat last minute sitting request and my pups loved her! We felt very comfortable leaving for our trip knowing they were in good hand. She dropped-in the morning we left before going to work, stayed the night, and dropped-in again after work the next day making their schedule as normal as possible and was great with them! She sent daily updates with pics, and was reachable during our entire trip. It gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable pet-sitter and will definitely use her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lanoka Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lanoka Harbor on Rover is $48.15 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 851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanoka Harbor. 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 Lanoka Harbor 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 Lanoka Harbor 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 Lanoka Harbor 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 Lanoka Harbor. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
