“Ann was wonderful with our dog. She was very responsive to messages, and updated us all day while she was watching him. She came by and met him a few days before, and was really understanding about him being skittish near new people. Would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks Ann!”
“Michele was wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Many walks and play time in and outside of the house. Mattie went on a few errands and was more than happy to do so. My home was spotless and I was sent many photos and updates of my pets. I will request time again with Michele this summer. Thank you.”
“Addison was amazing taking care of all four of my labs. She not only checked on them but played with them and checked in with me to let me know how they were. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: I have provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors through overnight house and dog sitting, dog walking, feeding, and daily care. I have also worked at a kennel, which gave me experience with a variety of dogs and a stronger understanding of basic dog behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making each pet feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while their family is away. I’m a full-time student at Cedarville University with extra time this year to care for your treasured furry family members. I’m available on weekends and would love to feed, play with, walk, and build a great rapport with both you and your dog. I’ll provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! As a previous dog sitter, I understand how important a clean, healthy environment is for a happy pet to thrive. Safety is always one of my top priorities for your dog, your home, and myself. I will follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s space clean and secure, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, exercise, and supervision they need while you’re away. I will also make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I will not invite or allow any guests into your home; only I will be present while caring for your pet.
“Savannah has a beautiful and kind spirit that Gracie responded to and she has excellent communication with us. She sent pics and provided updates throughout the day. We would recommend her and will rebook with her again!”
About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of animals since I was a child! This including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. However I have been taking care of animals for over 5 years now when I began dog sitting! Since then, I then went on to work at a pet store, where I worked with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, ferrets, etc. At this store, I was responsible for bathing and grooming, cleaning, administering medication, and feeding! I thoroughly enjoy being surrounded by animals and hope to for the rest of my life! I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to taking care of your animals!!! I am a college student currently so visiting your animals will also serve as therapy for me as well. I have availability in the afternoons into the evenings and am willing to stay at your homes until later in the night, overnight, or even the stop in to provide a walk or a visit to keep your baby company! I am not capable of providing in home services as I am a college student, but in your home I will be able to feel comfortable in your home environment, ensuring that the pets also feel comfortable in their own space!
“Toni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”
“Rebecca is great! My pups adore her. They are both on several medications and she is great at administering them. She also is quick to reply and sends pictures often. I trust her completely with my home and babies.”
About: We have owned our great Pyrenees mix for 8 years now, and have boarded our families dogs when needed. Our dog loves to have friends over. We are a flexible and loving home. My husband and I have jobs where we are able to work from home every day of the week, so your dog will be with a trusted sitter 24/7. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for a second dog. We routinely take walks with our dog and would love adding another.
“Shelly was great with our two dogs. They can be rambunctious, but it didn’t phase her. She kept us updated and sent pictures while she was with them. We’ll definitely have her back.”
“Maggie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and exercised every day. She took such loving end refill care of them. She took some great pictures and shared the on a regular basis.”
“Mia did a great job with our two foxhounds! She followed all our instructions and sent lots of photos. She even walked them several times, which went above and beyond my expectations. The house was in great shape when we returned. I would definitely hire Mia again and recommend her to friends.”
About: I work from home and have great flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog of 11 years and miss his company. Caring for your pet(s) is how I hope to fill this void. I've raised 3 great kids and play pickleball as much as I can. I'm a responsible woman and could even help with household tasks! Thank you for your consideration! My schedule is mine to control. I work from home and have great flexibility! I use to walk my dog 3 times a day and enjoy the exercise! I feel giving pets/cuddles to our furry friends is reciprocal. We need it as much as they do! I have been to my daughter's house for my fido fix daily since I had to say goodbye to my dog. She had a golden and a boxer/pit mix and seeing them makes my heart happy.
“Cassie stayed at our house to watch our babies while we were in Europe for 9 days. Our littles have had a lot of health issues this year and even though they are mostly stable now, we were nervous leaving them alone. Cassie made two visits to our house prior to our trip to make sure she understood all the details around their care. Thankfully there were no issues while we were gone. We returned to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. We are incredibly grateful to Cassie and will definitely use her services again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 941 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.

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.
