“Dana came in clutch and helped us with a last minute request. She provided great updates, followed instructions well, and sent cute pics along the way. She took great care of our 2 big goofy dogs and would definitely reach out to her for help in the future 😊”
“Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you”
“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”
“20/10 recommend! Ari gave us constant updates and photos which really put us at ease. He came for a meet and greet at our home before the stay and was very reassuring. Our babies so obviously loved him and our apartment was exactly how we left it. Will definitely book again!”
About: Since I was about 6 years old I’ve been catching stray animals and caring for them. I don’t plan on having animals from different homes together unless it is okay by the pet owner. I will be more than happy to bathe your animal if they need it, yes cats too. I don’t have anything toy or food wise so please provide items for your furry friends visit to my place. Thank you for considering me for your pet needs! I really hope we get in touch soon! I am currently working towards my RE license at Kaplan University (online) so I’m basically home all the time. My schedule is very flexible and who doesn’t have time for puppy snuggles? I care for pets like they are my children 😂. I find activities to do with them that they enjoy playing catch, tug-a-war, napping, etc. I give them lots of love and let them know I’m happy they’re here.
“Brandon is receptive and communicative. He cares about my animals and was especially helpful when my dog began not feeling well and had some accidents. If he had a question to make sure he was giving my animals thr best care possible, he wasn't afraid to ask. He had his hands full with my animals but did very well and I know they were happy while I was away. Definitely will use again.”
About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.
About: Hi! 👋 I'm your pets new best friend! I have three cats of my own whom I adore and I am an animal lover through and through. I will treat your baby like my own. I currently work full-time as an Animal Care Provider in an animal shelter; with experience in dealing with large and small dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, and other rodents! I've also worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility for many years and have plenty of experience with dog handling and behavioral assessments. I am also CPR certified for dogs and cats. The most rewarding part of what I do is seeing the positive impact my care has on the animals, giving them the best life possible :) I currently work full-time in an animal shleter, but I am done every day by 3:30. I have off on Sundays and Mondays and would be fully available for those times! I am not available to board other animals in my current residence. I am hoping to move soon to have that be an option! While I am pet sitting in your home I will be a respectable and responsible guest and my top priority will be the well being of your pets. There will never be uncleaned messes, unwanted guests, or any intrusive behavior. I have full respect for your home and privacy!
About: Growing up around all types of animals helped me develop my current love for them! I’m an aspiring veterinary student that would love to get more experience :) I currently take care of my own dogs at home, while also have taken care of cats numerous times! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born, this comes naturally to me. I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them the love and care that I would if it were in my own home. Every animal deserves kindness!
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“Simona was incredible with our dog Beau! We had to look for a sitter very last minute and she agreed to a week long stay with very little notice. She was professional, sent us daily updates, and took great care of him. Beau is a senior dog who has special medical needs and she was fantastic with that as well. We would recommend Simona to anyone looking for a sitter and hope to use her again in the future!”
About: A lifelong animal lover, I have cared for pets my whole life. With two beloved companions of my own, I bring passion and expertise to every furry friend! Pet care fits into my routine after 9 PM on weekdays and with more flexibility Friday through Sunday, ensuring dedicated time for every furry friend’s needs. I provide weekend overnight care, including feeding, walking, and companionship. I also offer weekday and weekend walks, ensuring pets receive the attention they need and deserve
About: Ever since I got my Labrador retriever 4 years ago, I've walked many dogs and pups around my neighborhood. I am responsible and patient with each and every dog. My labrador weighs 105 pounds, so no matter size or breed I can handle each pup with as much loving care as I can offer. **Se habla español. Soy de Colombia, si necesitas que les camino tu perrito, me pueden mandar un mensaje en espanol.** I work a part time job at a supermarket nearby on Sunday til 3pm. I am available any time after that. Additionally, I am available anytime Fridays or Saturdays. I am very flexible and can work with any pawrents schedule :). I love going for long walks, so that your pup can take a nice nap afterwards. I personally like to be outdoors as much as possible with my Labrador because he loves sunbathing and playing fetch. Sometimes I drive him to a park nearby, but no matter what place I take care of a pup I ensure that they are comfortable and safe.
“Brittany was so amazing! She was super communicative and flexible with my booking and Oscar absolutely loved her. I will definitely book with Brittany again if I need a long-term stay for Oscar!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog Mysa and my senior cat Coffee to travel abroad. Hardy was great house sitting and taking care of both of them, including being attentive to their feeding habits, play time and monitoring the home. Would definitely recommend Hardy as an attentive caregiver.”
“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Another great experience working with Rich! I will definitely be using him on a regular basis. The photos he sent were so well captured I will be printing them out for my wall💚”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington Park
We have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasn’t a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!
Kyrah took great care of my puppy and he had a lot of fun with her! She provided updates and photos +videos through the day which helped me feel reassured that my pet is in good hands. She was also very communicative and accommodating to our pets needs. Highly recommend!
Angelina was very responsive. My 2 older dogs are super easy but we threw a puppy into the mix which I know can be challenging. She reached out with any questions. The house was neat and clean when we came home. She offered to stay if our flight home was delayed.
Matthew was absolutely amazing! He followed all of my instructions perfectly, was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and kept my home clean and organized. I felt completely at ease knowing everything was being taken care of. I would definitely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lexington Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lexington Park on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,491 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
