“Gregory was wonderful with our two dogs! He was communicative and very loving with our babies (one is a 4mo old puppy!) he was very respectful in our home and we will definitely hire him again!”
“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”
“SirJahad was a great choice to watch our pup while we were away for the weekend. He offered our little guy much attention as he was in our home the majority of his stay. Very commutative and responsible. Would hire him again! Thanks SirJahad!”
“Kathryn was awesome and very professional. She kept me updated throughout the day and made me feel very much at ease. Katie took excellent care of my dog (Ruben). I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
“Emilee was wonderful with our pup, sent us regular pics and updates, and we felt very comfortable having her stay with him. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to stay with your fur baby!”
“Rob and Mabel got along well. Rob provided daily updates and was last-minute flexible when our end date changed! He even grabbed the mail for us as a courtesy. Rob left our home in the same condition it was in when we left. It was nice to come back to that. I We are happy to recommend him for your pet sitting needs. Mabel also gives five licks of approval!”
About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.
“Matt was wonderful with our dog, Odin! Odin loves long walks and Matt gave him the extra time he needs to walk and sniff…he sent pupdates and pictures. I will definitely be scheduling him again!”
“Caris thank you again! Our dog Chance was perfect and seems so happy upon our return from being with Caris. She did such an amazing job. She sent pictures and daily updates making me feel so at ease and worry free knowing my baby was in great care. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future! She is by far exactly what we were looking for and Chance seemed to absolutely adored her! 💗”
“Olivia was wonderful with our fur baby, Penny (a high energy, sometimes bitey Jack Russell Terrier). Olivia checked in on, feed and walked Penny a Thursday when we were gone for most of the day and stayed in our home overnight from Saturday to Sunday when we were away. She checked in with us and sent pictures often. Penny was happy and relaxed when we came home. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Olivia and would definitely book her again. 😀”
About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn! 🐾 I’ve never gone a day in my life without an animal! I’m currently a proud pet parent to a 17-year-old Goldendoodle, a 4-year-old Mini Goldendoodle, an 8-year-old Persian/Russian Blue cat, and an 8-year-old leopard gecko. Needless to say, animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets, medication administration, daily walks, feeding routines, and overnight stays. I primarily offer overnight house sitting and in-home pet care, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, and I always prioritize following your pet’s routine, keeping your home tidy, and providing regular updates and photos. I work full-time Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, and am typically available for overnight stays from 6 PM–8 AM. Weekends 24 hrs. Have no problem going to and from work while staying with your pets! Whether your pet needs extra attention, a little patience, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! ❤️ Looking forward to hearing from you and your babies! My Availability: I work full-time Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For overnight house-sitting bookings during the workweek, I am typically available to be in your home from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM. During the weekends I am available 24hrs! I’m always upfront about my schedule to ensure your pet’s care needs align with my availability. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect as my own, ensuring a clean, safe, and comfortable environment throughout my stay. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box maintenance, and any special accommodations you or your pet may need. This can include garbage/waste disposal, light cleaning and laundry etc.
“Alyssa was amazing. I would highly recommend her because she loves animals and is such a good communicator. I received tons of pictures of while away and always confident she was taking good care of my girls. The house was left in great shape and everything was clean and organized. I would definitely use Alyssa again.”
About: Hi! I am a full time biology teacher who has her weeknights, weekends and summers off to hang with your fur babies 🐾 While I was getting my teaching degree, I worked part time at Petsmart in the pet care department where I gained valuable knowledge for the needs and wants of pets. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 Torti cats ages 8-11. I have always had dogs and cats growing up of all sizes so no fur baby is too small or too large for some cuddles! I have also had some not so common pets like hamsters, fish (fresh and saltwater), frogs, turtles and even an Eyelash Crested Gecko! Being a teacher I have learned how to be compassionate, caring and unbiased and I carry these traits into my pet services too! All fur babies deserve to be loved and cared for with the utmost respect and compassion. My fur babies mean the world to me so I will always make sure your fur babies are cared for how I would want my fur babies cared for when mom is not around. I hope you don’t mind me spamming you with cute pictures of your furry loved ones while I am hanging out with them. I believe you can never have too many pictures to capture all of the silliest moments with your “fur”ever family members 🐾 During the school year, Sept - Early June, I can work weeknights after 4 and weekends all day. For the summer months I can work Late June - August any time frame. 🗓️ I am cautious about making sure all doors are locked and fences are locked so no fur babies can make a jailbreak. I am well versed in using different types of harnesses and how to correctly apply them. I always make sure to bring a portable water dish just incase your fur baby needs a drink mid-walk and I make sure to thoroughly clean it between each use. I require to have an emergency contact person in case of an emergency and would like to know what vet/emergency vet you prefer. A meet and greet with you and your fur baby is always the best way to start a fun and safe relationship!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawnside
Lex was wonderful and Molly loved her. Lex would run around the backyard with Molly as she searched for sticks to chew. She updated us and sent pictures daily. We feel as if she’s part of our family now. I can’t give her enough stars for love and care she gave Molly.
JonJon was amazing. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He spent so much time, cuddling the cats and made sure everything was taken care of every day, including medication. I felt confident and comfortable in his ability to manage the cats and the medication and everything else that went along with it. So kind and thoughtful. You can tell he loves spending time with my cats, which is just so great.
Highly recommend Greg. He was thorough and professional during the meet and greet, leaving us feeling comfortable having him at our home. Our dog Bucky can be anxious around new people and situations, but immediately took a liking to him. It seemed llike they had a great time!
Tara was amazing!! She was patient and kind with our anxious pup and won her over very quickly (an impressive feat!) And she was wonderful with our 2 month old puppy, making sure he napped when he needed and got to the bathroom. She is also generally a warm and caring person who loves taking care of pets. I will absolutely use her again!!
I can't say enough on how wonderful Dawn was with our dog Pebbles. She provided stability and cared about our dog as we do. She was very easy-going and provided us with daily updates. Pebbles was just rescued six months ago and suffers from separation anxiety. I saw no evidence of distress in Pebbles while we were gone or when we returned home. She was very happy and I am so pleased. Dawn will certainly be our go to when we travel.♥️🐾♥️🐾
Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lawnside is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $72 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.

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 Lawnside 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 Lawnside 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 Lawnside 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawnside. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
