“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Sydney! She took care of our dog Ace, our cat Nala, and our ducks for an entire week while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing!! Having so many different animals with different routines can be a lot, but she handled everything perfectly and gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. I loved the daily updates and pictures that we would get! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and treated our animals like they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything exactly as it should be. It meant so much to us knowing Ace, Nala, and the ducks were in such good hands. She even went as far as taking the trash out, stripping the bed and starting the laundry!! We are so grateful for her and would 100% trust her to watch our babies again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and truly wonderful with animals! ❤️🐾🦆”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
“Kayla was great with my fur babies!! She sent me pictures and updates. My cat, who never comes out for anybody actually came out and was hanging out with her. She did an excellent job with my nine-year-old dog. She was respectful of my home and all of my property, also placed everything back exactly where I left it. I will definitely hire her again to watch my fur kids. Thank you again, Kayla. I had a really great time and was able to enjoy myself on vacation, knowing that my animals were well taken care of.”
“The bestest!!!!! If you want someone to watch your cats and feel secure they’re being well taken care of, get Hanna!! She is so caring and makes the extra effort to make our babies feel comfortable and content. One of our kitties is very shy and Hanna did a great job of respecting her space but also making sure she’s fed/doing well. The other kitty that loves attention, Hanna made sure to give it to him! In addition, she made sure the water fountain was filled and the litter box clean! We are so appreciative of her and will definitely work with her again and recommend her care!!!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. My parents taught me the responsibilities of caring for animals. I've assisted my neighbors with their pets during emergencies and also provided pet care while they've gone on vacation. I've successfully performed cpr on a dog (mine) and a pot belly pig (friend's). Pet care is my full time career. I will work with you to create the best experience for your pet. I am able to meet your scheduling needs. I will provide constant supervision, playtime and love to your fur baby following any guidelines you've created. I like to send pictures and text messages to keep you updated.
“Hannah was fantastic! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She was a great communicator as well. There was a little glitch with her ability to get into my house, and Hannah remained calm and figured out the situation before I even had a chance to respond to her text. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“Marlaina took wonderful care of our girl yet again! There were bad storms and fireworks while we were away, and she comforted Merry throughout all of it, making sure she felt safe.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 7 years since my undergraduate. I have taken care of many pets ranging from puppies, kittens, seniors, and up to three pets at one time. I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and coworkers because I’m always eager to meet and care for a new friend :) I work full time until 3:30 pm, but I would be eager to start pet sitting immediately after! I am not permitted to have pets in my new apartment, but am still looking to spend time with some friends in my evenings! My priority is making sure your fur baby is comfortable, and I will accommodate and adjust accordingly. I am comfortable crating pets if needed and creating a specialized environment in your home.
“Ryan has been great with Bruno. He makes sure he gets his exercise and stay active as much as possible. Ryan has watched Bruno twice and every time he has delivered. I would recommend Ryan”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child! I understand that dogs are more than pets- they're family! That's why I provide personalized, attentive care that goes beyond a simple walk or feeding schedule. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, relaxing stroll, overnight companionship, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience tailored to their individual needs and personality. As a mother I understand how important it is to find a quality care-giver you can trust. That same level of care, responsibility, patience, and attention is what I bring to every dog I walk and sit. My approach is rooted in patience, reliability, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to details, follow routines carefully, and make sure your dog receives affection, exercise, and the care they deserve. You'll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to stay connected to your furry family member. Even though my family doesn't have a dog currently, my children would love to have one. I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a good way for my children to see what it's like to have a dog. I will make sure your dog will be well taken care of! I'm able to check on your dog and/or walk your dog throughout the day. I'll make sure your dog is well taken care of, given plenty of food, water, and attention! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around while at my house! I also have children who love dogs. While pet sitting in your home, I will be professional, and respectful of your home.
“Debra was fantastic!! Our pup took to her right away, made him and us feel completely at ease right away. She was so accommodating to our our needs, our pup doesn't like to be alone much, and she spent so much time with him, walked him often and put up with his awful snoring at night with no complaints. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout each day which we appreciated! She came to our home for 4 days and left it in perfect shape. Highly recommend Debra, she is very kind and has a calm spirit, which our pup meshed with perfectly. We look forward to booking her again for all of our trips❤”
About: I've pet-sat for family/friends and neighbors alike since my early teenage years, ranging from simply letting a dog out to pet-sitting indoor & stray cats, as well as having two pets of my own (a dog & a cat). I currently hold a part time job, making me widely available to care for your beloved companions! My schedule consists of 4 days a week on alternating weeks; Mondays 7am-10pm, Thursdays from 7am-10pm, Fridays from 7am-10pm and Sundays from 7am-10pm. Every other week I have every day 7am-10pm! Overnights as requested based on availability. I can assure you that, in your home, I will ensure that your pets remain fed, engaged, and properly attended to otherwise to keep them happy, safe, and excellently taken care of!
“We booked Kari to housesit and watch our two hound mixes for a week while we took a much needed vacation. One of our pups is diabetic and needs to have her blood glucose level tested before eating meals and receiving insulin injections. As you can imagine, we were very nervous to leave our pups with someone. Kari was AWESOME. She took excellent care of our pups, was detailed about the care she was giving to our pups each day, and communicated with us throughout our trip, reassuring us with pictures and details about the dogs so that we were able to enjoy our vacation. I truly felt like having Kari with our pups was like having a guardian angel watching over them. I would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you, Kari!”
“Melissa is awesome! She took great care of our dog, kept us informed, sent lots of photos, was punctual, went above and beyond and even brought all my packages inside knowing we wouldn't be home for a few days. We highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience—Karen was reliable, communicative, and great with Willie. We received regular updates and came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Kiah was outstanding. She took excellent care of my German Shepherd mix while I was out of town. Very conscientious, personable, and attentive. She gave me regular updates and really went above and beyond. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lisburn is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 947 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lisburn. 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 Lisburn 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 Lisburn 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 Lisburn 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lisburn. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
