“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Alyssa was communicative and professional and my pets really looked comfortable with her. She sent great updates too! I came home to happy, healthy pets and my house the way I left it - would love to work with her again.”
“Faith was wonderful with our pup! She was very communicative, sent pictures, and kept Evie company whole we were out for late night plans. We will definitely book her again.”
“Margo took great care of my senior dog. She is reliable and a good communicator. She puts in the time and effort to genuinely understand the animal she takes care of. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services.”
“Jessica was great! It was my first time using Rover app and having someone housesit and look after my dogs. I usually boarded my dogs, but due to them always getting sick from other dogs. I decided to try the Rover app. I was very unsure and nervous but she really provided me the peace of mind. She was highly responsive and communicated with me throughout the days and also sent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend recommend her!”
About: They only pet care experience I have is taken care of my late dog Cody. Raising him for a puppy. Trying every day to give him a happy, loving life I have a lot of free time during the day and I will love to spend it being around loving dogs and just having fun I have a fenced backyard, that I can take the dog to play and run around. Making sure there’s plenty of water, treats and toys to play with. Just spending time with them, showing them love.
“Angela went above and beyond while staying with my two old dogs for the weekend. She provided updates with pictures, managed my dogs meds, and kept them calm and comfortable while I was away (despite anxiety, storms, and fireworks!). I knew I didn’t need to worry about my dogs at all while they were in Angela’s care. I came home to two calm pups and an immaculate house. I feel we hit the jackpot with Angela!”
“Erin was a great sitter for our 3 pups. We received lots of update pics and they seemed so happy and comfortable. Will definitely be booking her for a couple other trips we have this year!”
About: I have always loved pets. Growing up, I didn't have any of my own, but those of my friends, neighbors, and family were always the highlight of my day. I've taken care of and friends' dogs and accompanied many of them throughout the years during their time as sitters. I am now a proud cat mom and ready to fill my life with more adorable animal friends! I am open to caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets. I am in the last year of my MFA program, so I have classes to work around. However, my schedule is generally somewhat open, and on a given day I am usually at home or nearby my neighborhood, so I can easily accommodate a last minute drop in request. When visiting your home, I will be sure to respect your space and follow your instructions to a T (I'll always check everything at least twice)!
“Gioia was a joy to work with. She was incredibly accommodating, gentle and patient with our behaviorally-needy dog and with our medically-needy dog! She left our home clean and organized and was very communicative and professional. It’s clear our pets have started to look forward to her visits.”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have lifelong experience being around and caring for both dogs and cats. I currently care for my own dogs and have also helped care for dogs belonging to people I know. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, basic grooming, cleaning pet areas, supervising pets, providing exercise and companionship, and maintaining regular routines. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I’ve also helped care for a pregnant dog and newborn puppies. I’ve been around cats and cared for them throughout my life as well. I’m comfortable with their daily care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I’m available throughout the week and can follow their usual daily routines. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, clean up after your pets, and send regular updates and photos.
“Marisol stayed at my house from Dec 23 through the morning of Dec 26 and did a great job. I came home to a clean place and happy, well cared for pets. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable while I was away. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“SaraGrace was a great sitter for our sweet pit mix boy. He’s 2.5 years old and has a lot of energy, so we were really grateful that SaraGrace could support his typical walking schedule and take him to the park for some play. She was also very flexible with our schedule when our plans changed mid-booking due to the weather, and we returned earlier than expected. Definitely recommend SaraGrace for your pets!”
About: Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for. When caring for your furry baby in our home, we treat them with the routine and love present on their own. My husband and I create a relaxed, loving environment where your pet is free to be themselves. Whether they prefer lounging on the couch, sleeping in bed with us, or sticking to a specific routine, we accommodate their needs to make sure they feel safe and at home. We're easy-going and flexible, and we even enjoy teaching new tricks! Your pet's happiness, wellness, and comfort are our top priority.

Angela was wonderful! She took such great care of Darby while we were vacationing, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and loved. She even tended to a few skin bumps Darby had and handled an unexpected toilet overflow like a pro! Throughout our trip, Angela gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Darby and our home were in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Anna is. She is hands down the best Rover and animal sitter I have ever had in my 15 years of having pets in this area. Anna is so professional, communicative and caring. I feel so reassured when I know my dog is in her care. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who truly treats your pets as if they are her own.
Callie was fantastic! She was a great communicator, took amazing care of our pups, and left our home immaculate. She spent lots of time with them and made everyone feel comfortable and happy while we were away. Our pups were all so content when we got home. We will absolutely use her again!!! Thanks so much for everything!!!
not my first rover experience but the first as a homeowner which added a layer of trust needed on top of care for 2 senior dogs. olivia was wonderful and attentive to all the directions we left and took great care of both boys even with all their quirks. before leaving on the last day she went above and beyond to help secure the house during a nor'easter which was much appreciated. my only "feedback" is i hope she knows there's no such thing as TOO much puppy content when sending updates to crazy dog moms
Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!
She took a last minute booking with us! And was very flexible when it came to certain accommodations. She went the extra mile with making sure when she was present with my animals that she made that time count. For example giving them treats and allowing them to be fed out of their puzzle boards.
Abby was fantastic, as always! She stayed at our house for 10 days with our two pups. She took both dogs on walks daily, administered medication, and expertly cleaned our hound dog’s gross ears! She went above and beyond by cuddling with both dogs at night and making their days feel as normal as possible :) Great communication throughout the stay. She took great care of our house. Very happy to have found a great sitter.
Bahiyyah was great. She took such wonderful care of my puppy and older cat. She did an amazing job keeping up with the puppy and exercising her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my girls. Highly recommend Bahiyyah if you're looking for a patient and kind sitter.
Kristina and her daughter were wonderful! They. Were very attentive and communicated through out their stay. I was very nervous leaving the dogs as usually they stay with family but Kristina put our worries at ease and everything went great! Would highly recommend!
Krystal stayed at my home with my 2 dogs for eight nights while we were away. One dog has anxious tendencies and the other is epileptic and requires twice daily medication. Krystal was able to not only accommodate their needs, but recognized their little quirks and adjusted to make them each more comfortable. She kept our place tidy, was in frequent communication, and responded promptly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lansdowne is $100 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $69 and $120 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,503 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lansdowne. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
