About: I am a flexible working professional. Most of my family members have either a dog or a cat that I have taken care of for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. I am a previous collegiate student-athlete and am still very active, so playing with your pets and taking them for walks is right up my ally. I am happy to help with house sitting, dropping by, or taking them for a walk. I look forward to helping you out with your care needs for your pets and spending time with them. I am currently in the off-season of my full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. I will need to travel some weekends for work, but besides that I am flexible during the week and on weekends. My priority is to respect a client's home and provide the best care for their animals. I create an atmosphere built on trust and dependability.

Kourtney did such a great job with our pups. Her communication was excellent and she sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which made it easier to be away.

We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with the entire time we were away. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She was an absolute champion when we had an unexpected power outage while we were gone. She went above and beyond by helping reboot our saltwater fish tank system so everything stayed running and we didn’t have to cut our trip short to come home. That kind of help meant so much to us. She was very responsive, reliable, and clearly cared about the animals. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Craig was, in a word, awesome! His intake is incredibly thorough and he came over to our house to spend time with our dog to get to know him before he took care of him. While we were gone, Craig's communication with us was stellar. He gave us updates on what activities he had done with our dog and sent photos every day. I could not recommend him any more highly!

Lauren treated our baby and our home as if they were her own! I didn’t worry while I was away- she sent pictures and updates regularly and let me know that Comet was in good hands. I feel so happy to know that we have a truly caring and trustworthy sitter who we can trust to watch our girl again in future!

Daniel stayed at our home for 4 days and took excellent care of our girl Chloe and the house itself. His relaxed nature is perfect for our dog and he was extremely conscientious, checking in with us now and then to let us know that things were going well and leaving our dog happy and our home in excellent condition. His communication was prompt and clear. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Erin stayed at our home and watched our dog ellie. Ellie has some health issues and Erin was great at making sure she had all the information she needed and was willing to deal with my tons of texts to check in on our dog. Ellie seemed super calm and stress free when we got home after two nights of being away and the home was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend going with Erin.

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.

About: I have over 10 years in Dog and Cat care experience and I’m excited to invite your dogs and cats to join me at the farm where there’s so much fun to be had! Please don’t hesitate to reach out! If your pets have a designated schedule then I will follow that but other than that they are free to play with each other and have a wonderful time at the farm. The 5 foot tall metal fence is Dog and Cat proof so your pets will not be able to run away. There is so much room in the fence so the animals never want to get out anyways. I offer safety features like cameras for the unlikely event of an emergency. There is also always somebody watching your animals so your pets would never be alone.

About: I’ve owned, sat for, fed, and walked dogs of all different sized since I was a child. Current owner of two small pups, but lots of room in my schedule to look after a few more. Former Cat owner, with raging kitty fever. I am available for temporary visiting/sitting jobs in the Greater Portland & Gardiner Areas, where I am Working & Located respectively. I have plenty of time in my day before & after work to visit, and room for sitting SMALL dogs. I first start by showing the pet that I am a friendly presence, I understand familiarization can take time, which is why patience is key. As soon as your pet allows me to show it affection, it is my pleasure & love to match that affection back to ensure that an environment of trust & care is effectively fostered. I can & will feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pets so I can help them still have some of the enjoyment that they get when you’re at home.

I felt completely confident leaving my two dogs, cat, and home in Lauren’s hands. One of my dogs tends to be very anxious around new people, but her gentle demeanor made him feel immediately comfortable. She was also very flexible, coming back to the house one more time to let the dogs out even though it wasn’t convenient. I highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren cared for my 4 adult Papillons and their litter of 4 puppies while I was at my son’s wedding in NYC. 8 dogs! I felt completely comfortable leaving my 8 precious babies with Lauren, she is careful and articulate. It was clear that she remembered all feeding routines after just one explanation. Things can get complicated with young puppies quickly — Lauren sailed along seamlessly, reporting how mealtimes went and sending pictures. I wish Lauren the best on her Maine Bar and hope to hire her again !

FAQs for House Sitting - Lisbon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lisbon on Rover is $44.4 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 602 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:

  • 98% 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.
