“Chaz is a great sitter and my doberman loves the attention he gets from him. Chaz stayed overnight at my house for several days and left the house clean and i could not tell he was even there after i got home and my dog was happy”
“Lisa was wonderful. She loved on my pets so much I don't think they ever noticed I was gone. She checked in daily with photos and fun interaction with my fur babies. She left my house on better shape than she found it. Thanks Lisa”
“First time using this app and using a dog sitter I didn't know. I felt very at ease knowing Katelyn was here to take care of Montana for 8 days. We came back to a clean house and a VERY happy dog!”
“We can not say how happy we are with Rosemary. She did wonderful with our dogs for the 3 days she was here. Would absolutely recommend her and definitely will book with her in the future!”
“Carrie is absolutely fabulous! She took care of our puppy in our home and did a wonderful job. Her communication is top notch and she sent several pictures as well. Thank you Carrie for providing five star service.”
About: I've hand rereared kittens and puppies from 3 days old to house broken. I have had reptiles and all kinds of fuzzy animals, I haven't met anything I didn't love immediately. I can give medicine and keep routines while providing plenty of updates! I am a stay at home mom so I love getting a chance to step away and love on another kind of baby! I grew up raising animals, I love too many kinds to make up my mind, so let me love yours while you're away! I treat them like my own, I follow instructions and go based off of the animal. I run a sensory friendly home so I have lots of relaxing quiet corners!
About: Hello! I have 3 dachshunds named Remmy, Hazel and daisy. and a cat named Maggie that is 3 🙂 I would love to get to know you are your pet! I have had Remmy and daisy since they were puppies, and Maggie for 2 years. We adopted her from the shelter. I work as a dental assistant !If I could have all of the puppies and kitties in the entire world I would! I have a decent yard (including a back) for living in town ! (Fenced in) for some reason I cannot her update my profile settings BUT WE DO HAVE A 4 year old and 2 year old. I work Monday-Thursday but my husband only works until about 11 am everyday! So there is always somebody home with your fur babies to play with. I have a fenced yard and 3 puppies to keep your dog company:) we have so many toys to play with, our dogs LOVE to play ball.
“Trinity was absolutely amazing while watching our dogs for the weekend! She was incredibly helpful and caring, especially with our diabetic dog. She confidently administered his insulin, which gave us so much peace of mind. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures, keeping us in the loop the whole time. On top of that, she was the perfect house guest. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old and constantly go and watch my sisters dogs once every two months I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and most weekends. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, provide constant supervision, and maintain a clean, calm environment. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own.
“Ashley was amazing!! We loved her and more importantly our babies did too! They seemed very happy when we got home and they didn’t seem to have missed us much and they gave us no attitude, lol! Ashley provided great communication and responsiveness. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated. She was very responsible and did a great job with our boys and their special needs. We definitely will be using her again.”
“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”
“We are incredibly happy with Willow. She took such excellent care of Bella and sent us photos and messages every day. I would definitely request Willow again and highly recommend her to others. She is intelligent and friendly and great with our Bella!”
“Amy is such a wonderful pet sitter! She always sends so many updates and pictures to keep us at ease when we are away. It’s so nice having someone we can trust to take care of our pets!”
About: I bring 22 years of dedicated dog experience and 3 years of cat care, with a proven history of raising 5 dogs and 3 cats who all lived long, healthy lives. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I previously provided two years of full-time care for my sister’s cat. I’ve successfully trained dogs to sit, roll over, shake, speak, crawl, and follow consistent potty-training routines. I combine experience, reliability, and genuine love with a calm, confident presence that pets respond to instantly. Your fur babies won’t just be safe with me — they’ll thrive. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, which leaves plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m also flexible and can work around those hours as needed. During the day, I’m able to stop by for midday walks or check-ins during my lunch break, typically between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Outside of work, my schedule is fully open for drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and extended care. I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. I would care for pets in a client’s home just like I care for my own, creating a safe, clean, and loving environment. I would follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. I’d provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention while also giving pets calm, quiet time when needed. I would monitor their health, ensure they have fresh water, and give lots of affection so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal would be to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away, treating every fur baby like part of my own family.
“Kariah is the best! She took care of our baby Tug the whole weekend and was so great about sending pictures and updates. We were able to have a relaxing, much needed weekend without any worry knowing Kariah had Tug. She is fantastic, trustworthy, sweet and gentle. Thanks Kariah ❤❤❤”
“Day was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! (And even my betta fish) They were extremely well taken care of and it was clear that they truly enjoyed having Day stay with them while I was out of town. Day went above and beyond in their care, AND the care of my home/patio plants as when I left town, the area was hit with about 5 days of bad storms! Day took my patio plants off their stands so they wouldn’t blow over and then placed them back. 100% hope to have Day house/dog sit for us again in the future. Thank you!”
“Andra was professional, courteous, and loving with my pets. She communicated clearly and effectively and managed a health concern with one of my dogs calmly and with care. She went above and beyond consistently. I would strongly recommend her services and would hire her again in the future without hesitation.”
“Lindsay did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats and senior dog! She stayed at the house and everything worked out perfectly! She also sent pictures and updated me throughout our trip! Definitely recommend her for any pet needs!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lessie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 585 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lessie. 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 Lessie 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 Lessie 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 Lessie 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.

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.
