“Brittany was BEYOND exceptional! We had an unexpected trip out of town for a funeral and she was able to exceed every expectation we had with our pets. Our dog has a fear of people at first and can come across as aggressive even though she’s really a lover down inside. Brittany took to her and won her over in less than a minute. Brittany is amazing with communication and pays attention to every single detail. It was nice to get pictures and updates each day and coming home to a hand written report card and a special note on our chalkboard was the sweetest added touch. Brittany we love you! Hunee misses you already!”
About: I have experience working in dog boarding, pet sitting and pet owning. Can clean, feed, provide exercise and a safe space to be in. I also have experience with giving medications as needed. I work during the week days but im available on the weekends, evenings, nights and early mornings. Depending on where you live i can even do let outs for mid-day potty breaks. I live in a small clean home making it easy to keep watch and protect your furry friend. I also live near a prefect and safe area for walks/runs. In others homes i will respect their space and maintain a clean environment while I love and care for their pets
“I was very nervous to use a dog sitter but Regan was great! She was very sweet with our dogs, cat, and even checked on my reptiles. I will think of her in the future if I need help with my pets.”
About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I am currently a full-time student at Carleton and thus have classes and other extracurricular activities throughout the day. However, I have chunks of time throughout the day that could be devoted to pet care. If I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.
About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I’m also a college student currently! I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and more. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet in my care—regardless of size, age, or species. I prioritize creating a calm and comfortable environment so pets feel safe and at ease. In addition to standard pet sitting and drop-in visits, I offer walking services as well as bathing and light grooming. My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. I am also in the process of developing a nonprofit focused on supporting unhomed cats and dogs. Flexible schedule with availability for mornings, evenings, and weekends to fit your pet’s routine. I have reliable transportation as well, and do not mind working around your schedule! I’m extra attentive when it comes to taking care of any animal. I always make sure the water bowl is full and they are fed on time. Playtime is also very essential!
About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!
About: I love all dogs and cats and reptiles and birds. You name the animal. I just want to take care of the baby the way you would. I work four days a week so I have plenty of time to stay with or visit your animals as needed, over nights are welcome!! I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly pups but I am also willing to come stay at your home with your pets, whatever is needed!
About: I am newer to pet sitting but I’ve taken care of my own dogs, my friend’s dogs and cats, and friends of friends pets. Give me a list of what your fur baby requires to ensure their health and safety and I will live by it while you’re gone. If they need any medicine I will make sure it is taken. I will make sure to give them extra love and snuggles or belly rubs if needed. I am respectful of other people’s homes and want to make sure you come back to a comfy house and happy fur babies! I currently work full time, but when I pet sit I make sure to feed and take the dogs out before and after work. Other than that I will play with the pets, chill with them, and if they’ve been good (and they can have them) give a treat. When I pet sit I make sure to understand where owners are comfortable with their pets being. If they’ve are not supposed to be on furniture or need to be in certain rooms, I respect that. If there are any accidents I clean it up and properly dispose of any trash. Previously I have sent daily updates to help ease owners minds and show the pets are happy or content.
About: With 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals to every pet I care for. Whether it’s my own beloved pets or those of others, I’ve spent decades providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pets like family. I focus on creating a safe, loving environment while tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the same level of dedication and attention as my own. I do work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible, as I set my own hours. My full time job is hybrid, remote three days a week and I travel two days a week. Those days are not set, but I prefer to travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am a great communicator and will always provide ample notice if I am not available, and I am happy to work with you to my best ability. When it comes to pet sitting, I ensure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and at ease. I prefer pet sitting in the client home because this is where your pets are going to be the most comfortable. I prioritize maintaining their routines and creating a calm, familiar atmosphere. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, I follow your instructions to the letter, ensuring your pets feel cared for and content while you’re away. I also find it important to maintain a clean, comfy, and secure space. With my years of experience, I understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in loving hands. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I would for my own pets, ensuring their happiness and well-being every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lavalette on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 74 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lavalette. 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 Lavalette 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 Lavalette 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 Lavalette 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
