“Melissa was great! She was the first pet sitter we had outside of family and she put our minds at ease with lots of pictures. She was punctual, cleaned up after herself, knowledgeable about animals and most importantly, loved on our animals like they were her own. We’ll definitely hire Melissa again in the future.”
“Bonnie is amazing. Very responsive with communication. She had her first day yesterday with my daughter’s puppy who had just been spayed. She was very attentive to her needs, sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. Looking forward to having her two more days this week, we feel very comfortable with her. I would definitely use Bonnie anytime for either one of my dogs.”
“Kate is amazing! She took great care of our Fiona, sent many updates with pictures and took wonderful care of our home. We highly recommend Kate for your dog/house sitting needs!!”
“Rileigh watched our two dogs and two cats for an evening. We found her personable, a good communicator, and very timely. She was fantastic with the pets - showing care and kindness to them all. Loved that she sent photos! Definitely would recommend.”
About: I’ve always had many pets growing up especially guinea pigs, dogs, bunnies and cats! I’m a huge pet lover and get along with all types of animals. I’ve volunteered at pet clinics and I’ve walked pretty much all kinds of dogs of all ages from a week old pups to senior since I volunteer at pet shelters as well! You can trust me to be the best pet caretaker!🐾 💗 Since my family has a Golden retriever, a few guinea pigs and cats, i’m always used to taking care of animals. I’m available most days all day since i’m doing school online! I can go on nice long walks and take care of your animal however you request! 🌸💗 I care for my pets everyday and give them all the love and attention in the world! I definitely would prefer taking care of your pet(s) in your home since I live with other family members who already have cats, bunnies, and a pup.
“Molly was absolutely wonderful with both of my elderly dogs! Bosco and Lola don’t normally warm up that quickly to a stranger but Molly has such a great energy about her. She even sent me pics of my cat even though she didn’t get paid to take care of him just so I knew he was good. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Dominic is amazing! He stayed with our pups over Christmas while we were away visiting family. He’s super responsive and communicative and took great care of them and our home! We’ll be booking with him again!”
“Madeline is an excellent cat sitter who always arrived on time and took wonderful care of our cat. We felt completely at ease knowing our Shimi was in such kind and reliable hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I can do feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic grooming needs, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full time 7-4, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups in the evenings! I’m available for walking dogs during the week at 5pm and anything later than that. I have a friendly pup to keep your fur babies company during their stay. I do not have a fenced in yard but that’s not a problem! I will take them out on leashes and for walks
“Erin was a great pet sitter for my 2 dogs. She was reliable, respectful and my dogs were very well taken care & happy when I got home. I would definitely recommend her for petsitting services. I’m so sorry that she’ll be moving soon & will no longer be living in my area!”
“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”
“Peyton stayed with Lacey while we were away for a few days. She was even willing to stay a few extra hours when our flight kept getting delayed on our way back home. Lacey had good time!”
“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13, growing up with family pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Please reach out to me with any scheduling questions, I'm sure we can figure something out! I will make sure that your pet gets lots of extra love while you are away, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else that you typically would do.
“Sophia was amazing. She watched my house for three nights. I got lots of updates and pictures. I would gladly have her back again. She was very respectful and was an awesome communicator. Sadie and Ozzy loved having her.”
“Emily has dog sat/house sat on two different occasions for us now. We have two Pomeranians (10 and 9 years old). She is very respectful, kind and provides us updates often with photos. I would highly recommend Emily. She is very responsive and asked all the right questions during our interview process.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lesterville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 880 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lesterville. 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 Lesterville 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 Lesterville 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 Lesterville 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.
