“This was the first time we had ever used a in-home sitter for our spoiled Miniature Schnauzer and we were somewhat apprehensive to use one, but Ruth changed our opinions about them. She treated our baby baby like he was her own. She provided daily pictures and we feel he was much happier staying in his own environment.”
“We had an amazing experience with Louann. She cared for our senior dog and she was very attentive to his needs. We had her stay in our home and it was the best thing to ease our dog's anxiety. Louann went above and beyond in caring for our guy. She is truly an animal lover. ”
“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.”
“Hannah did a great job with our two pups while we were out of town. She gave our dogs the love and attention. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her! if we are ever go out of town, we would love for her to take care of our pups again.”
“Kendall was awesome! She was available on short notice and very prompt with her communication. We needed help with our dog as she was recovering from surgery and she was amazing with her. Can't wait to use her again!”
About: My name is Rylie and I’ve spent my life caring for and loving all animals. I worked at a boarding facility for over three years, and have experience caring for all different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments! I’ve also had many dogs throughout my life ranging in sizes from teacup poodles to great danes! I currently have a dog and a cat; to keep me from getting more, I’d love to dote on yours! It’s my dream to open an animal sanctuary so spending my free time caring for your babes is near and dear to my heart! I look forward to meeting you and your fam soon! I work remote so my hours are pretty flexible! Let me know what you and your babes are needing and I am sure we can make it work! Every dog is different but all require love and attention! I will cater to your pup individually! We can play with toys till we're tired or we can spend all our time snuggling!
About: If you are looking for someone who is 100% reliable, follows instructions, attentive to details, matches your pet's energy, and prioritizes your pet's health and safety, book me! I am a life-long animal lover and have owned and cared for a variety of species including dogs, cats, small mammals, many species of reptiles, chickens, cattle, and horses. I have a solid history of providing dependable house-sitting, farm-sitting, and pet care services for multiple individuals in my church and community. I've got the references to prove it. My dog is an elderly basenji mix named Demelza. She has had a remarkable recovery from an IVDD-triggering accident that caused her temporary loss of mobility of her hind end. Through that experience and the veterinary professionals who helped her, I learned how to care for a disabled dog and know what to watch for in dogs at risk. I also have a bearded dragon, a uromastyx, and a kingsnake. With the recent passing of my heart horse Fritz, I have plenty of time and love to give to other people's animals. Schedule me for one-time or recurring visits, overnight sitting, or dog walking! Mondays: Available 6am-2pm and 9pm-10pm Tuesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 6:30pm-10pm Wednesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:30pm-10pm Thursdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:15pm-10pm Fridays: Available 12pm-10pm Saturdays: Available all day Sundays: Available 6am-10am and 2pm-10pm I cannot accommodate your pets in my home as my personal dog is a senior rescue who tends to be anxious and aggressive toward other dogs.
“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!”
“Kyle is an outstanding pet/house sitter. He let Harvey sit in his lap while working, and let him sleep with him, took him to the vet, gave him a bath…… He was exceptional. Kyle also took excellent care of my home and left the house spotless! During our time away, he was very good about texting me and sending pictures of Harvey. He always responded to my texts immediately. I had no worries the 20 days I was gone. I highly recommend Kyle !”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our senior Lab and our younger Lab! She was incredibly attentive, communicated regularly, and sent us pictures throughout each day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We trust her 100% with our boys and our home and would absolutely recommend her. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”
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.
About: hi, i'm ashli! i grew up with 3 dogs and now that i'm on my own, i'm open to taking care of your dogs and giving them the care & love that they deserve! i believe that animals are not here for us to abuse or exploit, which is why i care so deeply about animals and their wellbeing. i will do my best to make sure your pup is as comfortable as they can be :) i recently separated from my full-time job so i'm currently unemployed and looking for jobs - my schedule will likely be the most free it has been which will help me give more attention into caring for your pups! i currently don't have a permanent place to stay so that's why my current services would be for me to watch your pups in your house. my goal will be to provide your pup with as much care, love, and attention that they need in their own homes while their owners are away - further creating a safe space for them to relax and feel "at home"
“Nneka took such wonderful care of Rex. He struggles with separation anxiety, but he felt safe and comfortable with her right away. She has such a kind, calming energy that really put me (and Rex) at ease. She was also very responsive and great with communication—after our initial contact, we quickly arranged a meet and greet, which made everything feel so smooth and reassuring. Her dog, Esperanza, is absolutely adorable, and it’s clear they share such a loving bond. Seeing how well she cares for her own dog gave me even more confidence. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Kiana is amazing with my very shy dog and takes wonderful care of my pack. I highly recommend her bc her vet clinic background. She is literally prepared to handle any issue that can come up.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
Mike and I cannot thank Kellie enough for her exceptional care of our three pups and home while we were away. Upon the first meeting with our finicky dogs, all three loved her and she them. We and the dogs look forward to Kellie’s future returns! We cannot say enough about how comforted we are knowing our pups are well loved and cared for by Kellie.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
