“Leah has done housesitting for our 50-pound, high-energy dog several times now, and we love having her every time! It's clear she cares about him from the photos and videos she sends, and he has gotten very comfortable with Leah as well, resulting in less stress when we get home! She also leaves our home in fantastic shape every time she stays as well. This trip, we had to ask her some followup questions after we returned as well, and she was responsive and helpful then as well. We definitely recommend Leah!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Austin was wonderful with our two doggies. He is very attuned to dogs and their communication styles and emotional states. After four days away we returned to a clean house and two very happy, well cared, for pups. We will definitely use Austin again.”
“This was our 1st time Ever using anyone besides family to house and pet sit our 2 dogs. Courtney was AMAZING! She was caring, loving and did everything we asked her to do to care for them,as we would! Our home was clean and taken care of when we got home but most of all our dogs were happy when we got home. It was as we had never left. Courtney kept in touch with us and sent so many Wonderful pictures on a daily basis which I Loved! We will Definitely use her in the future! She is going to be considered a part of our family. Anyone who chooses to use this service, should DEFINITELY consider hiring Courtney! Im so very Grateful to her for the peace of mind she gave my husband and I while we were gone.🙏❤️”
“Elena did a phenomenal job watching our dog! Picking a sitter can be tough, especially when you love your pet like we do. But she blew away expectations. She was very receptive to all our instructions and followed them with care. She gave us pictures and video updates so we could see our dog and have peace of mind while on vacation. We will be using her as our #1 dog sitter moving forward. I wouldn't even look elsewhere after she took such great care of our animal. Elena is THEBOMB.COM!!!”
About: I love dogs and have had my own for nearly 10 years. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to taking care of dogs of all ages and energy levels. I'm experienced with administering all types of medications as well. Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for a reliable and flexible sitter! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility during the day to assist with whatever is needed, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. My priority will always be to keep the pet as comfortable as possible by sticking to their normal routines for meals, walks, play time, etc. I'm no stranger to that in my personal life with my own pet.

“I used Savannah to be at the house while I had to be at work all day and she did a great job! I definitely know I’m a super overbearing dog mom to my fur baby but Savannah was super understanding and kept my pup on his usual routine! She also sent so many cute picks all day which was great. Sent updated of what they were doing and when they went on walks etc. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who particular about who takes care of their pup or if your a neurotic dog mom like me ? thanks Savannah!”

“Courtney is Absolutely Amazing!!! She was so sweet & caring with our pups we felt completely safe leaving them with her! Amazing care & updates throughout the visit!! Could not ask for a better sitter!!! We felt very lucky to get her & will definitely book with her in the future!!!”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
“Michael was wonderful with our dog, Bear, and we would absolutely recommend him\. He came over about a week before our trip to meet Bear and go over everything with us, which we really appreciated\. From the beginning, he was kind, respectful, trustworthy, and great with Bear\. Michael stayed at our home for three nights and was very good about sending us updates while we were away\. Unfortunately, Bear got sick and threw up one of the days, and Michael handled it so well\. He let us know right away, kept us updated, and cleaned everything up\. When we got home, the house was very clean and Bear was happy and well cared for\. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing both Bear and our home were in such good hands\. Michael is a genuinely nice, respectful guy, and we would definitely use him again\. Highly recommend\!”
“Kerrick was great. I have a very anxious Great Dane who is often very distressed by the time I return from trips. This time, however, after spending 11 days with Kerrick, I came home to a very content, calm dog. My house was very clean and orderly, as if no one had even been there. I’m very pleased and hope that Kerrick can watch Wyatt next time I’m out of town.”
“Kylie watched Tucker at our home for 8 days and did a fantastic job. She was good about sending me pictures and I really appreciated that. We also came home to a clean house and a happy and content dog. I will definitely use her again.”
“Brittany was a great house sitter! I appreciated her care for Foxy and she very helpfully organized my selection of teas and left the house very clean. I would definitely have her sit again.”

We absolutely love Courtney! She always does such an amazing job taking care of Tuff and Spud, and we couldn't ask for a better sitter for our boys! Her communication is fantastic, she checks in with us daily, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they're in such great hands. She goes above and beyond, and we always come home to a beautifully clean and well-kept house, which we appreciate so much! It's clear how much she genuinely cares about our boys, and we are so grateful to have someone we trust as much as Courtney. We can't recommend her enough!
Our Belluh loved them! First off Natalie and Todd are so communicative, i couldn’t ask for better communication! Then they send photos and video, it made my heart melt knowing our baby girl was in such good hands. They ask questions, they follow directions, and they love pets. How can you ask for better. I felt very safe and secure knowing they were there overnight to cuddle our little girl! Thank you Todd!
Austin was AWESOME! So thankful to have found him. He will be my go to sitter anytime I have to leave town. My pets were well taken care of, communication was great and my house was clean upon returning. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my four legged friends.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lanton is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $73 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 October 2026, there are 1,541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanton. 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 Lanton 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 Lanton 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 Lanton 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
