“Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.
“I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.”
About: No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.
About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! 🐾 Hi, I’m Mario, and I provide loving, reliable care for both dogs and cats in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. From energetic dogs who love playtime and walks to cats who prefer a quiet, relaxing space, I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. When boarding with me, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a clean, comfortable place to rest. Safety is always my top priority, and I strive to create a low-stress environment where pets can feel happy and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. Thank you for considering CharMollys Pet Sitting. I look forward to meeting you and providing exceptional care for your beloved pets! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐶🐱 I’m available for drop-offs and pick-ups anytime, day or night, and I maintain a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether you need early morning, late evening, or last-minute arrangements, I’m happy to work with you. I have an open schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care while making the drop-off and pick-up process as convenient and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for boarding. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior pets can feel safe and comfortable. With years of animal care experience, I understand animal behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your pet will stay in a room by itself, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience
“Looks like Sophia had a wonderful time with Lindsay and Penny 🥰 Lindsay took lots of photos which I absolutely adored seeing and also took the time to actually hang out with my cat, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m very happy with her services!”
“Meredith did an amazing job taking care of my Cat! She has great communication, provides a thoughtful update, and does a great job with pets. Highly recommend!”
“I had to travel for work last minute and Jennifer helped me so much. She checked on my two cats and a dog twice a day while I was gone with pictures and she even brought in my mail. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Brenna went above and beyond for my cats. My kitties aren’t the most approachable with strangers but she earned their trust and when I returned from my trip both kitties had none of the separation anxiety and stress I usually observe when I return. Brenna gave me daily updates with pictures and videos and I felt she kept up on communicating how things were going. I will be recommending her to friends and family that live in the area.”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
“Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs, and today I share my home with my two sweet&sassy cats, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of both. For two years, I volunteered at the Detroit Animal Shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I’ve also been fostering with Twin Cities Pet Rescue for over two years, providing a safe, loving home for animals while helping prepare them for adoption. Through fostering, I’ve cared for newborn kittens, adult cats, senior cats, and animals with a variety of medical and behavioral needs. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye medications, and injections, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I can promise I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Although I work full time, my position is remote and flexible. I’m able to do half-hour lunch walks, as well as full week night and weekend availability for long walks. Because I’m able to work anywhere, I can spend ample time with pets I’m house sitting as I can work directly from your home! When I care for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box or potty routines, and any other preferences you have for your pet’s care. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level. Some pets love to play and be active, while others prefer quiet companionship or extra patience while they warm up to someone new. I’ll always respect their boundaries and let them set the pace. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye medications, and injections when needed, and I’ll keep a close eye on your pet’s health, behavior, and overall well-being during every visit. I’ll also make sure your home is left just as I found it, cleaning up after meals, accidents, litter boxes, or muddy paws as needed. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and at ease throughout the entire experience.
About: I have recently gotten into dog sitting. I have experience taking care of dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I love every type of dog. I am a college student that is home for the summer with a lot of flexibility and a desire to make some extra cash to support myself I ensure that there is nothing harmful to my pets near my pet or anywhere they can get into. Caring for animals is my top priority and will do anything in my power to keep them safe.
“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”
About: As long as I can remember, I've absolutely adored playing with and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Having had a dog since I was ten years old, I've had many years of personal experience caring for them, including but not limited to responsibilities such as feeding, walking, bathing, and distributing medication to them. As a full-time graduate student, I'll largely be available in the early mornings and late afternoons, as well as evenings, to care for your pets during the week. On weekends, I can be very flexible with timing based on your needs. Since your pets are a part of your family, I know just how important it is to have them feel safe, secure, and loved. I will give them the attention they need and ensure that they feel just as comfortable and taken care of as they do when you're around.
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lilydale is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lilydale
Lindsay was very communicative during her visits, sending updates and pictures of our kitties with all the needed information. She was great to work with and gave our pets good attention and care! It was wonderful to have peace of mind while we were out of town, especially given one of our cats has diabetes and needs medicine twice a day. We are very grateful!
Jennifer B. Was absolutely amazing over the weekend! She did drop-in visits for our 4 dogs Finn, Izzi, Coco and Lulu and kept me completely updated with frequent photos and messages. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up unexpected messes without any complaints. Managing a pack of four requires a lot of skill, and she handles it flawlessly. Truly professional, highly communicative, and fantastic with our pups. I will definitely be booking her again. Mary M
Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)
Great experience! Jayda was communicative, followed all of my instructions, and took great care of my cats while I was away. I received regular updates, everything was exactly as I left it when I got home, and the whole process was smooth from the meet-and-greet through the end of the booking. I'd definitely book with her again.
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
Being new to the area we were in search of care for our two male cats while we went on vacation. We had Beth care for our two male cats over the fourth of july holiday. She bonded with them immediately. We were grateful that she was available on a holiday weekend since a few other sitters we contacted were not. She sent updates each day. We would not hesitate to hire her again.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lilydale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,809 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lilydale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lilydale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lilydale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
