“I can't sing enough praises for Dana, who stayed looked after our home and pets or a whole month while we were out of the country. Throughout our time away, Dana kept us updated with the perfect balance of messages, and let me tell you, her updates were more than just routine check-ins. They were filled with anecdotes and little details that showed she truly got to know our pets. Her fun responses made it clear that she was spending quality time with them, making sure they felt loved and cared for in our absence. But it wasn't just our pets Dana took care of; she treated our home with the same love and respect. Coming back to a house that was not only well taken care of but also perfectly clean was amazing! It was evident that Dana went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. Finding someone you trust to look after your furry family members is no easy feat, but with Dana, we hit the jackpot. Knowing that she's there to take care of our pets gives us such peace of mind when we're away. If you're searching for a pet sitter who will treat your animals like family, look no further than Dana – we couldn't have asked for anyone better!”
“Laurie was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent photos of my fur babies while she watched them on my wedding day. She took them for walks and was very patient with them all. She was a real life saver and I would recommend her to any one in need of an amazing dog sitter. 🩷🐶”
“Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.”
“We were very happy with Noemy, the cats are not used to us not being here and she actually sent pictures of them and they did not hide the entire time (this is huge!!!!!) Will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Samantha was amazing. Only thing I would change would be how I prepared the house for her. She did exactly what I asked to take care of my baby Nipsey and I had zero worries coming back to my home after a business trip.”
“We had a last minute cancelation for a dog sitter. Holly was able to house and dog sit with short notice while we were out of the country. Our fur-babies were well taken care of. Will use Holly again!”
“Derek was great with our cat and dog. He kept us updated and sent pictures. They both looked so happy. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Thanks, Derek. You’re our go to from now on.”
“Karli was great! From the time we met her and throughout the sitting she made us feel at ease that our babies were in good hands. Thank you so much Karli! We will be rebooking with Karli next time!”
“Michele and David were great! We booked them pretty last minute and they were willing to stay the weekend with our Lux and Link! Luxy was/is stuck in a cone right now and needed medication administered as well. They were patient with the unique needs Lux has right now and kept us updated throughout the stay. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies!”
“Nicolas did a great job with our 60lb German shepherd mix while we were gone over the weekend. He got lots of walks, treats, and attention -- his 3 favorite things. Will definitely be keeping Nicolas on the roster for future trips!”
“Sarah is the BEST! I couldn’t ask for a better person to not only love my boys but to also stay in my home. These pups had soooooo much attn and love. I can see why she books up fast as she is the REAL deal. We love her!”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I'm retired now, and I have all the time in the world to hang out with yours! I'm retired, with nothing to distract me from taking care of your pet. I have a nice yard to entertain your dog during the day, or I can come over and hang out with your pet. Either way, I'm your guy! I have a fenced yard and all the time in the world to hang out with or entertain your pet at my house or yours.
“Lety did a phenomenal job watching our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. We have a big dog with anxiety and a tiny 19 year old girl who has a special diet and feeding routine as well as multiple medications and care requirements. Lety was meticulously thorough in making sure both dogs got the care and attention they needed and she kept us updated consistently throughout our trip with photos of the dogs. The house was just as tidy, if not more so, when we returned which was a huge relief after travelling all day to get back home. I would absolutely recommend Lety for any dog care needs and we will certainly be reaching out to her again the next time we leave town”
“While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!”
“Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Brittany is so sweet with our pup, Max! She cared for him like her own. Brittany staying with Max gives us such a peace of mind! She took him for all his walks, played with him, and made sure he was safe! We already have Brittany booked again!”
“Sally made the whole Rover experience easy and knowing someone would be in to check on Puzzles while I was out of town made me feel less guilty about leaving. Plus getting updates about the visit was as well!”
“I can’t recommend Yahaira enough! She is honestly so sweet and treated my puppy, Souei, like one of her own babies. On top of that, she’s an amazing trainer and gave me some awesome peace of mind while I was away. I’m so glad I found her. will definitely be booking her again!”
“Maggie and Willow are wonderful. Maggie stayed at my house for almost two weeks on a last minute booking. She sent updates daily and gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lilac on Rover is $47.73 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 5,618 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lilac. 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 Lilac 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 Lilac 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 Lilac 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 Lilac. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
