“Donna was incredible. Our prior dog sitter canceled last minute and Donna was quick with communication and available. She was by far the most organized house/dog sitter that I have ever had. She was great with communication, sending many pictures, and took my dog, Siena, on multiple walks. She went above and beyond and washed the sheets/towels and left the house spotless, without any asking/request to do so. Our dog was very happy when we returned, much so to our prior experiences leaving.”

“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”

“Teresa is an incredible dog and house sitter. She sat our critters (dog, cat, chickens, and gecko) while we were away on a short vacation. She made sure our pup was happy and secure while we were away. She secured the hens each night and made sure to turn on their light as needed. Teresa’s communication was incredible throughout the whole process. We trusted her completely and would strongly recommend get.”

“Heather is perhaps the most attentive sitter that we have had for Lily. I appreciate how often she gets her out of the house to be able to run around on the property to get some exercise. It’s great that she gets as much playtime as she did especially on good days. The place was kept clean. Heather did have to leave for a few hours every day which she had asked permission in advance and that worked out just fine. Her communication was excellent and I always appreciate getting updates and pictures of Lily. I would have no problem recommending Heather to sit your pet.”

When it came time for the stay, there was a small issue (On my end, not his) getting into the apartment but MacKenzie was patient and rolled with the punches. He showed genuine love for Guibert and I felt completely comfortable having him in my home taking care of my pup. The number of updates MacKenzie gave was just what I was looking for. I came home to a very happy dog and a well taken care of apartment. I will be booking MacKenzie again for a longer upcoming trip.”

We highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet or housesitting services!

First time hiring Charlie, I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. He left my house cleaner than I've ever left it. I have two little dogs. My 14-pound Maltipoo anxiously barked at him when he first arrived and Charlie hung in there. By the end of the weekend my anxious dog was his best friend, and the other one too. He was good with medications and instructions. I would definitely hire him again!

John did a great job taking care of our kitties Gem & Scout and our house. We got regular updates which we really appreciated as it put our mind at ease. He was successful at giving my shy cat her inhaler twice a day as scheduled. John left the house tidy and we came home to 2 happy cats. I would definitely recommend him to pet and house sit. I only hope he is available the next time we need a pet sitter for Gem & Scout. Thanks again John!

Nash was an AMAZING pet/house sitter. We were gone for two weeks which is a lot especially when you have to leave three animals behind but Nash made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. He sent lots of pictures and even noticed a lump on our dog Daisy and immediately asked us about it (it’s a lipoma we already knew about). When we got back our house was in great shape and all the pets were happy and healthy. I 10000000% recommend Nash if you need someone trustworthy and kind to look after your babies! ☺️

Shaolin is a great housesitting Rover. She was quick to respond to my messages. A site visit and the booking were scheduled on short notice. She was prompt and asked all the right questions. While we were gone, Shaolin and Milo took for long walks, and photos and videos were sent. She left the house without a trace. I would contact Shaolin first when I need to entrust my pup to a Rover again.

Book Brittany today! I was blown away by her care for my dogs and house! I honestly felt like she was caring for her home and animals. My dogs are always sad/anxious when I go, not with Brittany! My dogs were literally smiling in every photo she sent and very well walked. Brittany will hands down be my first choice from here on out!! Support her and her growing business. Thank you so much I’m very grateful

It’s been two times now Claire has watched my puppy. She keeps in constant communication and sends lots of pictures. She took Mickie on a little adventure and he looked so happy to be hanging with her. She’s very observant and always checked in to insure she was creating a similar environment for Mickie. I will keep coming back to Claire in the future!! Thank you so much ✨

FAQs for House Sitting - Lents

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lents is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $89 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.

As of October 2026, there are 4,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lents. 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 Lents 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 Lents 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 Lents 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Lents. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
