“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Gavin was exceptional watching our sweet pup! He was very proactive in communication & sending updates, and very responsive. Peu was well taken care of and he seemed very attentive to her needs. He did not shy away from her big personality (or the fact she is a 100 pound puppy), played well with her, and did an awesome job overall with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Erica was wonderful with our girl Mia! She met with us ahead of time to meet Mia prior to the booking. During her stay she kept in contact with pictures of Mia which made me feel comfortable being away. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Kathleen for a great stay with our two pups! We are always a bit uneasy leaving our dogs overnight but there wasn’t a time where we had to feel worried about anything over the past 3 nights! Kathleen sent cute pics and updates of our pups, didn’t mind the occasional behavioral issue and was overall such a great sitter who we’d recommend to anyone!”
“When my other Rover cancelled on me last minute Julion happily stepped in and did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog while I was away. Cannot say enough good things about his service and professionalism. From the pet care, daily updates, pictures, I would use him over and over and will recommend him to any and all.”
“Hannah was wonderful. Both of my pups loved her. She kept me in the loop daily with how the pups were doing, her schedule, and sent cute pictures of my pups. She is highly dependable and reliable. Most importantly, she spent quality time with my two senior pups. I will definitely be using her again!”
“My old cranky kitty and my bouncy young dog love Naya! I always travel with peace of mind, knowing that Naya is in charge. We have booked Naya several times.”
“Our boys were well taken care of & our boys wild child got so many long walks to the school park. House was just as we left it. Can’t appreciate you more for spending time with our needy dogs who love having human company!”
“Lyric took excellent care of our boys and did not hesitate when she had any questions. She was super personable and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
“Jenna did great! She did everything asked and took care of my kitty. She texted back immediately when i also texted her which was huge to ease my mind with me being away from my little guy. I would recommend her to others!”
About: I have had dog experience since a young age. Starting in 8th grade I walked neighbors dogs which expanding out to boarding them. Now what was a hobby turned into a job I love! Weekends I offer dog walking and play time! I’m so excited to meet your pups🐶 For boarding: I have a large backyard with a long Frisco Tie Out cable so your dog can enjoy some outside time. I have 3 fur babies to keep your dog company but it’s nothing I can’t handle! I aim to keep your dogs comfortable and as active as possible while your away. For walking: Every Dog loves a good walk, for some dogs this is their primary source of exercise. That’s why I love to make sure a dog gets the most out of their walk🙂 My Schedule: I am currently a grad student so my availability varies, but I have lots of flexibility. Daily availability listed is frequently updated. Tuesdays & Thursdays: Open Availability Monday & Wednesday: Open Availability Saturday: Open availability Sunday: Open availability I have a large and small crate on site (as needed) as well as 3 furry friends to keep your pet company while you’re away.
“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
“Isabel was wonderful! She is communicative, proactive, and always on time. Isabel walked our dog a couple of times a day and was attentive to his needs while we were away. Our dog was very calm and enjoyed his time with Isabel.”
“Lisa was amazing with our dog Roscoe!! We appreciated that she kept us updated with pictures and messages, it was so nice to be able to take a weight off our shoulders and know she was doing such a stellar job! Roscoe loves her and her daughter, and we were thankful that Lisa also took the time to water our plants and herbs. We’ll definitely be a repeat client, I’d recommend Lisa without any hesitation!”

Cory was very communicative and kept me up to date with their daily activities. We had a minor pet illness that happened and Cory made sure we went to the right vet and got the treatment we needed. She got me in touch with the vets and made sure I was able to make the best decision possible. Now the pets are happy, healthy, and back to being goofy.
Jamie is a great sitter! She is very calm, warm, and approachable—which is just what we needed for our overly-anxious Frenchie. She cares about our pet’s well-being, followed the routine we shared, and was communicative while we were away. We look forward to hiring her more in the future!
Kathleen stayed in our house and took care of our dog and two cats for almost 10 days! This was our second time with Kathleen. While we were away, I was confident that I'd be advised of any problems (there were none) and that the pets were well cared for. I received pictures and notes which were reassuring and which showed content pets who were very comfortable and happy with Kathleen, which is what it's all about! The cats and dogs hung out with Kathleen all together, all 3 together, which almost never happens! Will definitely use Kathleen again. If there were more than 5 stars, she deserves them all.
Paul was a great house sitter! Very respectful and communicative, kept me in the loop of everything going on with my dog while I was away. He made sure that he understood her feeding and walking schedule before I left and took very good care of my pet. I’d definitely rebook with Paul again!!
Erica was wonderful with my three fluffers while I was away on a work trip for a week. She stayed in our home and arrived right on time, communicated often, including videos and pictures, and was very respectful of the house. After a slew of really bad sitters, Erica was a breath of fresh air. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Eric!
Joey was fantastic! He stopped by before the sit to meet Pixie and Austin, and it was immediately obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. Both of my pets were comfortable with him right away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind before leaving. While I was away, he kept me updated with messages and photos, so I always knew everyone was doing well. When I returned home, my house was just as clean and tidy as I had left it, and both Pixie and Austin were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Joey is friendly, outgoing, trustworthy, and was a pleasure to work with. In fact, I was so happy with the experience that I've already booked him again for another pet sit next month. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of both their pets and their home!
Tabitha was great with our puppy and cat. She took our puppy out so frequently that he only had one accident ( that doesn’t happen for us). She was very communicative and sent pictures everyday. She left the house perfect and Teddy was his happy self when we got home. We will definitely use her again.
We took a chance on Amy after we had a bad experience with a previous sitter, and we are so glad we did. Amy has such a cool and calm vibe and energy. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did Rani! She made sure she kept in touch regularly and asked questions to make sure everything went well. She even cleaned our house and washed our sheets before we came home! She also texted us after she left to make sure we arrived home okay and that our dog was not left alone. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She just moved to the area which is why she doesn't have any recent reviews but she's awesome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lansdowne on Rover is $45.51 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 6,544 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lansdowne. 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 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 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.
