“We love her so much and only use her to watch both our pups. She is so sweet and considerate. Our pups have separation issues and we never have to worry going on week long trips when she’s watching them. Life saver. (And I love that she cleans up before she leaves - such a nice touch)”
“Steph is wonderful. She is considered and extremely polite. She took great care of our two boys and sent us daily updates and pictures. The boys looked happy and relaxed enjoying their time with Steph. She also took care of my hydrangeas that did not like the heat. We will definitely be using her when we are out of town again. Thank you Steph and Rover”
“Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!”
“Katherine did a great job communicating with me and taking care of my dog, Luray! It was the first time I have used Rover for an overnight stay and it was a great experience because of Katherine!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! She went above and beyond to care for our pups and our home, especially when we faced unexpected travel delays due to weather. Her flexibility and great communication gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which showed just how well our pups were doing in her care. The house was in perfect condition when we returned, and we’re so grateful for her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea was phenomenal! I felt totally confident leaving our big boy Bruno with her. She was very communicative with lots of updates and very responsible in our home and with instructions. Thank you for everything!”
“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”
“I am so appreciative of having Lorene as my dog sitter for our recent vacation. She kept us updated with a daily report, added some cute pictures, and learned more of the dogs’ quirks making it a great fit. We knew we could travel without any worries because she took great care of my boys. They loved hanging out with her and Cash even took on the role of “work supervisor”. Would highly recommend Lorene for any of your dog needs.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your furry family my complete attention and care! I’m available anytime after 5:00 PM on Fridays through Sundays. I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.
“Seth watched our 3 dogs while we were out of town and he was fantastic. We got daily updates and pictures of our pups which clearly showed how happy they were. We will definitely use Seth again! Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”
“Kristen stayed at my house and took amazing care of my two cats! She sent me daily updates as requested and left my house perfectly clean. She professional and kind, and her love for animals is very clear. I definitely recommend her.”
“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”
“Our dog was so excited to meet Alex for the first time that he quivered all over! We knew it was a match. Since Bear is 100+ lbs, we needed someone who is strong and can command respect. Alex is that person, and he does his job with love. He sent us daily communications and photos about walks, grooming, feeding, etc. Bear was in good hands. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. Actually, I think Bear is missing Alex today. We will definitely call on him again!”
“Rosemary spent 6 days taking care of the house and animals. She was very responsive, sent oodles of photos, and was very professional in all our communications. We will definitely ask her to come again. It's such a relief to know you can trust somebody to come to the house rather than stressing the dogs out with time in a loud pet hotel.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lewis Park is $50

Kaitlin was an awesome sitter for our dog, Luna and our cat, Hiccup! Kaitlin took great care of our house and pets and provided nice photos and updates everyday! Kaitlin is very conscientious and great at communicating and we couldn't have had a better experience!
Priya did an amazing job taking care of Truffle at our home. She was very respectful, responsive and responsible and sent me lots of pictures and videos of Truffle, and detailed updates on how he was doing. She is kind, loving and trustworthy, I could tell she played with Truffle a lot, and gave him plenty of rest time as well. Truffle was happy to be home in his own comfortable setting, seemed not missed us much at all thanks to Priya staying there.

Andrea was an amazing sitter for our dog, Remi! She came to our house for a meet & greet before house sitting, so Remi could meet her and feel more comfortable with her from the start (he suffers from separation anxiety). We hadn't originally planned on needing her to manage a special diet and medication, but when it came up, she was more than willing and adapted right away. She sent multiple updates a day with photos of how he was doing, was incredibly responsive throughout, and left the house clean and tidy. Having someone well-versed in anxious dogs and that we trusted from the start made a real difference. We'd be thrilled to have her watch Remi again and would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Truly Above and Beyond Care We cannot say enough amazing things about Jen! She went completely above and beyond while house sitting for our dogs, Ren and Quin. From the start, she was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and attentive to detail. She didn’t just follow instructions — she truly cared about our dogs and their experience. She made sure to check them for ticks, kept us updated, and was very proactive in making sure they were safe and happy. What impressed us the most was her flexibility and dedication. When she realized that the dogs needed a few extra visits, she adjusted her schedule without hesitation. That level of attentiveness and willingness to adapt gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. But the biggest sign of how amazing she is? When we came home, Ren and Quin were happy, relaxed… and honestly didn’t even seem that excited to see us because they had such a great time with her! 😂 That says everything. Jen is someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own, and it shows in every interaction. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as our neighbor and our dog sitter. We would 100% trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.
Ellie was amazing with our pets! Due to a family death we had to adjust out pet sitting schedule and Ellie was flexible, which we greatly appreciated. She sent pictures and took good care of our elderly and quirky pets. We are extremely grateful for her love and care. Ellie administered medicine, spent the night, and even cleaned up! Highly recommend Ellie!! Thanks again Ellie!
The absolute best! So sweet, kind, and genuinely caring, my kittens were so happy and comfortable with her. This was my very first time ever using a house sitter, and also our first time having kittens, so we truly didn’t know what to expect, especially since both kittens had just been spayed and neutered. Melianna went above and beyond. Even on Easter, she was there for us, consistently checking in and sending updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She handled everything with such professionalism, kindness, and a warm, sweethearted approach. I am incredibly grateful for her and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!
Will was a joy to have in our home taking care of our 110lb Great Pyrenees named Bear! At our initial interview, we knew he would be a good match. He asked good questions. He won us over with his confidence and skill dealing with a very large dog. Bear had a blast in our absence. Will walked him a least 3 times a day, played with him in our fenced yard, and kept Bear on a schedule. Will also took time to work on some of Bear's training exercises and adminstered his monthly meds. I really liked that Will worked from our home, so he spent most of the day with Bear, which is what Bear is accustomed to. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We would happily hire Will again.
Evan is a wonderful pet sitter. My dog and cats were happy and calm when I arrived home after a week. The house was more organized than when I left. She even indulged my sphinx kitten with one of “her” sweaters that she drags out of my closet after Evan texted me about the matter that I’d failed to describe in the care instructions. I knew she was professional, kind, and vigilant upon our initial meet & greet and so did my pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lewis Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lewis Park on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,855 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lewis Park. 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 Lewis Park 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 Lewis Park 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 Lewis Park 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.
