“I want to thank Ruth again for doing such a good job with my dog and Kitty. When I got home they were very relaxed and happy. The pictures I received showed how they were doing while I was away. I will definitely asked Ruth again when I go away.”
About: Back in 2023 I got my first job at 16 years old at Pet Suites as a “pet pro” which is a doggy daycare (and cats too) where you can drop your dogs off for the day while you’re at work or board them there while you’re on vacation. I also have done dog sitting outside of that job too, where I would go and take care of families dogs while they were on vacation and stay with the pets at their houses. I also was an active member of the FFA all throughout my high school years where I would raise pigs and show them at different shows. I just completed school and I’m about to go into subbing part-time at a middle school so my schedule is pretty open at the moment! I usually have a good consultation with the pet owners before dog sitting for them where I find out what they’re feeding schedule looks like and other information that would be necessary for me to know and on top of that I usually have them leave me with a list either virtually over the phone or physically on a piece of paper with all the information that I would need.
“Mia was available last minute to help take care of my 2 dogs. Her communication was excellent and she sent pictures of the dogs during her visits to ensure me and my family felt they were taken well care of. She did an amazing job and I highly recommend her! Thank you Mia!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have cared for both dogs and cats since I was little. Growing up with pets has taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them love and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I currently work on weekends, so I’m most available Monday through Friday. My schedule allows me to provide drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pets during the week. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines your pet has. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with respect, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Kenya was great. Quick replies when we texted her. She took wonderful care of our pets. Plus the house was clean and looked just as it did when we left for vacation. We will definitely rebook with Kenya in the future!”
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a dog in my life. They just bring joy to my life. This is my first time doing the Rover service but I have over 40 years of experience in owning and caring for dogs. I work full-time and travel a lot. So I look forward to weekends to spend time with my wife and dogs. I would love to add your loved one to my weekend routine. I have three dachshunds at home right now. We enjoy spending time together and loving on each other. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. While at your house I will spend time playing with your pet and meeting their daily needs.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, etc. my entire life, I’d like to say that I have my whole life’s worth of experience with pets, being that I have had them since before I could walk:)) I’m currently going to community college part-time, usually based in the mornings but can change. Other than school I am always free to do the job!! I will give your pets plenty of love and cuddles while also adapting to their daily needs and activities. I can even brush your dogs’ teeth if you’d like.
About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and take precautions based on each pet’s individual needs, behavior, routine, and current weather conditions. On walks, I use safe handling practices and avoid unnecessary interactions with unfamiliar animals. In the home, pets that do not get along are safely kept separate, and I follow owner-established routines to help minimize stress and anxiety. I believe good pet care also requires good communication, so I keep communication with owners open, respectful, and consistent. At this time, I offer limited short-term daytime boarding when circumstances require it, such as emergencies or helping with a pet’s pickup and care following a veterinary procedure.
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for a wide variety of animals—from small and large dogs to pigs, horses, and chickens. I have experience with it all! As a first responder wife, I have a lot of free time on my hands & love spending it with animals!! I am a stay-at-home mom of three with completely open and flexible availability. I can provide early morning potty breaks, daytime walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I will make sure your dog is always kept on a leash or harness for their safety. I will put them back in their crate if requested!
“Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Alexis took such good care of our Enzo over New Years weekend. She sent pictures everytime she took care of him, which I loved! I felt very confident about returning home to a happy dog.”
“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”
“Louann did a great time taking care of our old girl. She arrived on time. She asked important questions. She sent photos and an update daily. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy pup!”
“I was so impressed with Amalia's attention to detail and compassion for my baby, Fitty (my cat-son). Amalia made me feel so comfortable so I could really enjoy myself away. Thanks so much Amalia, you did a great job and I will be hiring you again!”
About: I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets with genuine care and attention. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. I'm also comfortable with cat/kitties, puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra TLC. Working remotely with flexible hours means I'm home most of the day, but have log certain hours at my office. so I can easily fit walks, playtime, and feeding around my own schedule without leaving a pet alone for long stretches I care for pets in the client's home, since I offer pet sitting and dog walking services. That way your pet stays in their own familiar environment, which keeps their routine and stress levels as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any special needs — and I'm happy to send updates and photos while you're away.
“Chris was awesome. She took wonderful care of our animals and home while we were out of town. She kept us posted with updates and pictures and our cat and dog had a great time with her. I would 100% recommend Chris for animal and house sitting needs.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
As first timers to the concept of in house pup sitting last November, we were nervous to take this leap, but we connected with Kellie and not only were we comfortable, but our three pups all LOVE her, so much so that were so excited when she returned for a second weekend stay this past weekend. Kellie is wonderful not only with our pups, but with us. We look forward to her third visit. Thank you Kellie for loving our pups and for your great care of the house. You are a GEM!
Aneesa house sat my cat for a few nights over Christmas and did a fantastic job! She took great care of my cat and my home while I was away. My cat has FIC, and Aneesa did a great job managing her stress - she administered liquid gabapentin for the first couple days, but my cat warmed up to her quickly and she didn’t need it beyond that. Aneesa gave Zoloft lots of playtime, kept her food and water full, and cleaned her litterboxes. Aneesa kept me updated the entire time and sent tons of cute pictures of Zoloft - she was really responsive and professional throughout the entire process. We will absolutely have Aneesa back again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lavon on Rover is $36.51 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 3,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lavon. 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 Lavon 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 Lavon 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 Lavon 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.
