“Highly recommended! Elayna was wonderful. She made sure to keep us updated on when she got to our place, walked and fed our puppy, and even our puppy’s naps. She sent us photos and even in the pictures it looked like our puppy, Lima was smiling with her there. Elayna was flexible, communicative, and very kind. We will definitely be booking her in the future for Lima.”
“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”
“I was able to enjoy an extended vacation knowing that my cats and home were in good hands with Akira. The cats were immediately drawn to him when he came for a pre-visit and I could tell they were content when I returrned home. I appreciate that Akira provided regular updates and also took care of watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out the trash, etc. i will hire Akira again if he's available the next time I travel.”
“Traisaun stayed over a weekend with our 2 elderly dogs and cat. He sent pictures each day to keep us updated on their wellbeing and all were very happy when we returned. He is also very prompt with timing and kept our home tidy. We’ll be calling Traisaun the next time we need a sitter!”
“This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.”
“Sydney kept us up to date with communication and pics… she made sure our 1 dog was medicated and in her thunder jacket to help keep her calm thru bad thunderstorms went thru town several days in a row… Highly recommend her, tried to book her again but she did not have dates availably Thnx Sydney”
“Emma did wonderfully with our dogs and had a real connection. Very responsive and allowed us to extend our stay by a day last minute due to a personal family emergency. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon was amazing! She really went above and beyond! We realized we had forgotten to give her a key once we had already left and Shannon was super flexible and worked with us and a locksmith to get into our house. She also watered my garden during the heatwave. Loved getting all the updates, my cat definitely enjoyed her care and attention!”
“Riley stayed with our 2 dogs (one elderly and mellow, the other young and energetic) and our older cat for 10 days. She walked the dogs daily, kept them fed and medicated, and provided regular updates. She is super reliable, and the pets love her. We hope to have her back for our next trip!”
“This was my first time using Rover. What a positive experience! We hired Milica to stay in our house and take care of Ralph while we were on vacation. Milica was absolutely great with Ralph! True to her word, she sent us photos and updates of Ralph every day. She walked him twice a day (even thought she didn't have to) and kept him on his feeding schedule. When we got home the house was in great shape and Ralph was as happy as can be! I really don't think he wanted her to leave. We don't travel much but if we need someone to watch Ralph again, his "girlfriend" Milica will be the one. High praise for Milica!”
“Our boys love people.. so we were happy to find Molly who could house sit with them. (normally people think cats can be left alone but our boys are social!) While we were gone we received updates and photos to let us know how they were doing. We came home to a cleaned up house and happy kitties. Will definitely reach out to Molly if we need sitting in the future.”
“Laura was great. Our pets were at ease with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kacy is very sweet and she took great care of our two pups over the holidays. Kacy kept me informed and sent photos of my pups while we were away to let us know they were doing well. I will use Kacy again and would recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Darra was incredible! Our dogs can be a little tough to handle but she had no problem with them at all. Was super responsive and sent us lots of cute pictures when we were gone. She even helped us when the flight was delayed she stayed longer than scheduled and helped make sure our dogs were taken care until we could get home. I’d recommend Darra to everyone!”
“Sampson had a great time with Allicia. Allicia kept us informed while we were gone and sent us a couple photos each day of Sampson. Would definitely recommend Allicia.”
“Tony was exceptional! It was so obvious that he spent time loving on our pets, not just tending to them. He sent tons of updates and excellent pictures while he was here and helped us feel so confident in their wellbeing. He left our home better than we left it and I am so looking forward to working with him again. Thanks Tony!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Isabella was great with our two dogs and cat. She kept us updated every day, cared for all the animals, and kept them happy and healthy until we returned! Will be using her again in the future!”

Emma did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Luna. Luna is 17 years old, so needless to say she needs help with medications, special food, frequent potty breaks and getting up/down the stairs in our home. Emma managed all of her needs well. She was also very helpful bringing in packages/mail. She left our home very clean. I will be hiring her again in the future. Thank you Emma!
Megan is a gift. She took such good care of my babies while I was away. My senior Chihuahua gets pretty moody when I am away. He refuses to eat. Megan is magical and got him to eat. She also brought in my packages and put my pet food way. She is definitely a gifted person. Highly recommend.
We were blessed to have Riley house-sit and care for our 3 kitties for us while we were away on our honeymoon. Our boys were happy and healthy when we got home. I felt very safe that she would care for the cats with love. When we got home our house was very clean as well! We found her to be caring, trustworthy, and conscientious. Highly recommend!
Avery is great!! We have a very energetic, anxious, and goofy pittie, so we needed someone who’s comfortable with her. Upon meeting Avery, I knew she was a good choice! During our trip, I received photos, videos, and updates, which are very much appreciated for someone whose dog is their literal baby!
Julia was great! She stepped in when a different sitter canceled a week out from our trip. Our dog and cat both really liked her, the house was well cared for, and she communicated well when there were concerns. Would book with her again in the future for sure!
Jill did a fantastic job watching our two kitties for a week. She was very communicative and provided daily updates with pictures from play time. From the first meeting I knew she was a great fit- she seemed very sensitive to the cats and even brought them a treat. Jill was very attentive to their needs. As an added bonus, she watered our plants and left our house sparkling clean. I highly recommend Jill!
Danielle was great with Brick! She communicated really well from the start and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet, which made me feel confident leaving him in her care. While I was away, she sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Brick was comfortable and being well taken care of. I also felt completely comfortable having Danielle in my home. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure Brick was happy and cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Brick again!
Heather is an A+ sitter! Our home and cats were in great hands while we were on an 8 day international trip. Heather checked in every day to let me know how the boys were doing, and left everything exactly the way we left it. She also helped with making sure the trash got put out and other household things. Our cats were happy and healthy, and our home was safe and clean while we were gone. I’m so grateful for Heather and would 100% ask her to stay again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lawrenceville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lawrenceville on Rover is $49.95 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 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lawrenceville. 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 Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 91% 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.
