About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. Pets are part of the family, and I will always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away or busy. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, attention, and time to explore while keeping their safety a priority. I’m comfortable following your instructions regarding walking routes, leash preferences, feeding schedules, and your dog’s individual needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and everything is secure before I leave. I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, which is why communication and reliability are extremely important to me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I look forward to getting to know yours! Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy or simply some company and attention while you’re away, my goal is to make their time with me safe, fun, and comfortable. 🐶❤️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of my work schedule to take care of fur babies! I don't have an exact schedule so I have the flexibility. I only offer drop in visits or home sitting. I will make sure they are in a safe environment at all times. Making sure the gates and/or doors are closed at all times so that the fur babies don't get out.

About: Hi! I’m a former paramedic who is currently working helping my family run our small business. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and caring for animals (and people) has always been a part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I’m able to provide care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with cats and dogs that may be shy, fearful, reactive, or considered less than friendly. I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, gentle care, medication support, or simply someone they can trust while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. I’m currently working with my family which allows me to have an extremely flexible and open schedule. Generally available from 8:30a.m-11p.m 7 days a week Long walks and backyard or park playtime. I am comfortable caring for pets with special medical and physical needs. I can provide basic grooming if needed for pets that will allow.

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

Meagan was amazing! Super communicative, lots of pictures which I love. She took such great care of Duke and my home. She also brought her gorgeous dog Raven who Duke fell head over paws for. Hehe. She took them on lots of hikes and adventures and even gave him a bath!!! Will 100% use Meagan again!

About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was a baby. When my mom would take me to visit my grandparents who we now live with, their chihuahua Bandit would climb into my basket while I was asleep & sleep with me. When I was 4 I got my first ever puppy Jacks! Since then I’ve had 6 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, & more! This doesn’t include pets my aunts & dad’s friends have had/have that I’ve given pets & played with during family gatherings. I absolutely adore cats!! Whether they’re an adorable kitten or a sweet elder I love them so much! While I don’t have experience with cats outside of petting some outdoor cats I’ve always wanted a kitten/cat! When I move out I’ll for sure be getting one or two. I’d love the chance to take care of any cats, even if it means cleaning their litter box. With our most recent dog, Oliver, I used to train him & play with him multiple times a day until my grandmother took over ownership of him. I don’t smoke or do anything of the like, I’m not a party girl. I much prefer a night in either studying or playing video games. I’m unemployed without a drivers license so I’m available throughout the week. The exception being my mom is my ride. She gets off of work at 5pm Monday-Friday so preferably a pet sit will start & end on the weekends. Unless you’re good with me arriving or leaving sometime after 5pm. I’ve pet sat multiple times over the years, especially since I moved in with my grandparents at 8 with my mom & they’ve had chihuahua’s since I was a baby! Currently we have 3 chihuahua’s who I’ve looked over plenty of times & even bathed. Recently in February my grandmother was hospitalized for 2 weeks & as my mom & grandfather worked I was in charge of feeding the dogs breakfast & dinner, letting them out every 2-3 hours, playing with them, & cleaning up any accidents.

Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!

About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.

About: From poodles to pugs, doodles to terriers, and even rottweilers—I’ve cared for them all! With 20 years of fostering experience and personally trained obedience dogs, I understand the unique needs of every pup. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or just lots of love, your dog will be in great hands. Plus, with a fenced yard, they’ll have a safe space to run and explore. Book with me for a fun, safe, and loving experience for your furry friend! 🐾🐕 🐾 Recently Retired = Full-Time Dog Mom! 🐾 I recently retired and am excited to officially become a full-time dog mom! ❤️ That also means I’m available most days for pet sitting, doggy daycare, or even just a quick walk when your pup needs some extra attention. My schedule is flexible, and I genuinely enjoy spending my days with dogs. Whether your pup needs a place to hang out, some company while you’re away, or simply needs to stretch their legs and get some exercise, I’d love to help! 🐶 Lots of love 🐾 Plenty of attention ❤️ A home where dogs are family I’m looking forward to meeting some new four-legged friends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I offer supervised group play time for dogs who enjoy socializing, along with individualized attention when that’s a better fit. For walks, you tell me what your pup needs! We can do a structured walk for exercise and training, or slow things down and enjoy a sniffari—because sometimes the best walk is the one where your dog gets to stop and smell everything. 🐶👃🌿 Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your preferences and your dog’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me.

We booked Elizabeth extremely last minute. She was professional, responsive, and delightful. Cira just loved her time with Elizabeth. Our home was as if she was never here when we returned. She went above and beyond to make sure Cira did not feel alone while we were away. The neighbor next door enjoyed meeting her over the fence line and has requested information to use her services in the future.

About: From dogs of all ages and sizes to cats, chickens, and even saltwater fish, I've provided reliable in-home pet care for many families over the years! While drop-ins are available, I prefer to stay at your home, as it offers an extra layer of comfort for your animals while their parents are away. I am an early riser, love going on walks, and have a flexible work schedule that lets me check in during the day. You can also count on plenty of picture updates! For overnight stays, I have a hybrid work schedule and am super flexible, checking in on everyone as needed throughout the day and staying in-home overnight. For drop-in visits, message me, and we'll create a custom experience for your pet's needs. In-home sitting requires trust between us, so I'll always ask to meet before an overnight stay so I can get to know you, your pet, and your home. I'll respect your home and take pride in creating a loving, safe environment for your pets while you're away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lisbon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lisbon on Rover is $32.1 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 1,388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lisbon. 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
