“Jordan is an amazing dog sitter, excellent communication, professional and our dogs love her. I was able to fully enjoy being away because she was taking wonderful care of our dogs. Will definitely have her sit again!”
“Taylor O was the perfect sitter for our fur baby. She arrived on time, was very responsive to our communications, and took great care of our home and fur baby. Taylor stayed in our home for our recent 2 week vacation. We had never been away from Jinxie for so long and it was stressful for us and her. Taylor understood our concerns and sent daily photos, texts, and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that our baby was being well-loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor as a kind and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
“I have a 4 1/2 year old chihuahua who is my baby. Besides her spay surgery I’ve never left her overnight. I had to leave her this past weekend. I accidentally found Matt because I forgot to change my address after a recent move. Thank goodness I did! After the meet and greet Cammie was ready to go home with him! Dogs know good people so I knew I found the right sitter. Matt took such good care of her and sent me the cutest pics of my sweet baby girl. Thank you so much Matt! I will be using you again!!”
“Taylor by far has been the best in home pet sitter that we’ve ever used. She loved on our dogs like they were her very own. She always updated us with how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. Our pups liked her so much that have booked her again for a week in July. Highly recommend her!”
“Tetiana is wonderful- so kind and so responsive. Our pups had a great time. She put us at ease with videos and keeping us up to date with how they were. We are so grateful for her!”
About: When looking for a sitter, trusting and learning the human that cares for you is all that your pets know how to do. My skills include dog behavior techniques and relaxed mental discipline. Finding a pets strength and weakness takes time and it is prominent that the caretaker ensure proper, sustainable care for your babies. I have not worked with many animals but I assure that over time I will become a great friend to your furry best friend. My flexibility is fully open currently. Finding a full time position with your pet is very important. Growing and learning your furry friends is most important to me. My two dogs Lokey and Sky are usually independent when it comes to what they need and when it is needed. Potty breaks are usually every 2 to 4 hours, as well as outside play time. We usually stay out for 15 to 30 minutes. Walks are solely for my pets. I allow them to sniff, play and take breaks when needed. Evenings are usually the best times for a walk, it’s not too cool nor hot, it’s just right.
“Chelsea was fantastic with my dogs. It was a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate wonderfully! She took them for walks, was very attentive and even shared a great photo session with them. They so appreciated her, as do I. We will definitely use her again!”
“Landry is wonderful! She was amazing with our Maltese and took great care of our home too. She's a great communicator and responds quickly to messages and also sent great photos.”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past 5 years and have a keen skill of making the dogs satisfied and the owners happy with the service. I’m currently working part-time so pet care will be my main priority as my live for animals transcends my other responsibilities in my life and schedule Throughout my past experiences, I’ve helped to maintain the safety and security of pets, made meals for them and helped with the yard fencing related to pets.
“Bryan took incredible care of my pup when I left for travel for first time in 5 years. I was extremely anxious leaving, yet Bryan was calm, compassionate and extremely fantastic with Francesca, she loves him! I will definitely be scheduling regular walks so that she can enjoy the fun with Bryan again on a regular basis. Thank you Bryan!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.
“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Lathemtown is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 per night.

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 Lathemtown 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 Lathemtown 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 Lathemtown 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.
