“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Emily took excellent care of our dog and chickens. She left the house in better condition than she found it. She provided daily pet photos and had great communication. She even expertly handled a curveball from an unexpected vendor visit while we were gone.”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Nico watched our cavapoo named Rufus for four nights while we traveled out of state. They gave us daily updates, which were always of our dog at play and having fun. They left the house in perfect shape. And we would definitely go with Nico again in the future.”
“Super pet/housesitter! Easy to schedule, very communicative. Naya went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and our house while we were away. She sent frequent updates and our pets clearly loved having her stay with them. I hope we can use her professional services again soon!”
“Elisa was phenomenal . She not only took care of my dog but my home for 2 weeks . Trustworthy , clean and great communication . I wholeheartedly would recommend Elle for the job !!!”

“Carolyn was incredible with our two gals! She’s super attentive and cares about making sure they’re happy while we’re away. We’ll be bringing her back several more times this year. High recommend!”
“Zana is knowledgeable and experienced. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our pets were comfortable, happy, and cared for. She is an excellent communicator, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Zana!”
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Mia was a wonderful sitter. She has a very calm presence and was very attentive to our pups. She was through with her questioning and gave great feedback while we were gone. She was tidy and respectful of our home. We would definitely recommend her and hope to with her in the future.”
About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
“Kerry did a great job dog sitting our two dogs while we were away for one week. Fortunately she was able to step in on short notice when our original plans fell through. She sent us pictures during the week and kept us updated every day. The dogs looked like they enjoyed having her around and we are sure they liked being able to stay home over being boarded. Kerry was also great about coming for meet and greet sessions before the actual dog sitting which made us more comfortable about using this service since it was our first time. We highly recommend Kerry and plan on using her services again soon!”

Emily took great care of our home and pets while we were away for a week, including taking our dog Moose to the emergency vet when he ate something he shouldn’t have. She was great about sending updates and I know Moose and Tiger 🐈 enjoyed having her by their side!
Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊
Jamie was awesome! She stayed in our home to pet sit while we were out of town for a few days, and it worked really well. She is enthusiastic and her love for animals is obvious. Our animals look calm and happy and she left everything neat as a pin. She is also super responsive with messaging. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!
I can’t recommend Joey enough, he did an incredible job watching our dog and cat for an entire week while we were away. He took the best care of our animals, and gave us plenty of updates and pictures! There was never a single second we worried while being away - he treated our animals as if they were his own. Thank you so much again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lansdowne is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
