“Second time booking Trina, and once again she was absolutely wonderful with my fur-babies! This time I also had a family member’s dog staying with me, and after giving Trina the profile and instructions, she handled the added responsibility flawlessly. The house was in perfect order when I returned, and all the pups were clearly happy and well cared for. One of my dogs had developed a tummy issue the week before my trip, which had me a bit anxious. I let Trina know the situation, and she had no problem adjusting her care as instructed by the vet. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she’d update me if anything changed. While I was away, I ended up having the opportunity to stay an extra night. Trina happened to be available and kindly accommodated the last-minute request. Trina is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I’ll continue booking her any time I can—highly recommend!”

“My dog is very nervous around new people, but CeCe was patient and let him come to her. She provided several updates and many photos during her stay at our house, which made us feel at ease. Our fur baby and house were well cared for, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new sitter.”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and having grown up around both cats and dogs, I know just how much they mean to their families! To me, pets aren’t just animals, they’re family, and that’s exactly how they’ll be treated in my care. ❤️ One of the best things about my home is my large, fully fenced backyard, where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, explore, and enjoy the fresh air in a safe environment! Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone new, which is why I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is having a wonderful time. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel so loved and comfortable that staying with me feels just like being home! I’m currently studying online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and because I spend much of my time at home, your pet will have lots of company, attention, and love throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the backyard, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, or just relaxing together on the couch, I can easily make your pet’s routine part of my day. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, so caring for your pet never feels like work to me! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy some fresh air under my supervision. Inside my home, I want every pet to feel relaxed, welcomed, and loved. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special preferences. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll treat them like my own, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: I've been caring for animals for over 40 years now, both personally and professionally. My first dog FiFi was there when I was born in 1973. Ever since FiFi I've always had at least one dog through my life. I've had many cats along the way, too. I absolutely adore cats! I lost my last cat two years ago and it still saddens me greatly. He was so affectionate with me even after I had rescued him from mistreatment. He had 6 toes on both front paws! They are called polydactl or Hemingway cats. It looked like he was wearing white mittens! His name was Pyro and I miss him dearly. When I grew a little older, I was able to care for all types of animals such as rabbits, hamsters, mice, ducks, birds and fish. I love them all! I have rescued wild life and nursed them the best I could or took them to a wildlife center for help. I have raised butterflies as well! People have always told me their animals take to me very easily and quickly. I've always shared a special place in my heart for animals and a unique way of connecting with them. I could not get through life without their enjoyment and love! They really are angels with fur and paws. The most wonderful blessings! They bring so much to the table with their enormous love and loyalty. I am available for your pets full time on any given day including holidays, and extended periods of time. My schedule is open twenty four hours 7 days a week. If I'm not with one client, I am available or I can work them in together depending on the situation. I offer overnight house sitting in your home. I have one small 12 year old Toy Fox Terrier (pics of us together here!) I would have to bring with me for any overnight stays because i have no one else to watch her at the time and shes very clingy now that shes older. Shes very sweet and gets along with just about all dogs as long as they arent aggressive. She loves to play or just relax with them! She usually doesnt have an issue with cats. She has had two cats as siblings in her 11 years and that was definitely a learning process, but they did great overall! I also offer drop in and walking visits. I am able to stay for extended periods of time, or shorter stays also. I am very flexible with my time and always available unless I am with another client. I will spend quality time with your pet (no matter the type) doing what they like to do and what fits their needs. We can discuss that further! Have a wonderful day!

As always, Janet took great care of our pups and made sure they were at ease while we were away. Our dogs are anxious but there was no evidence of it when we returned because they were happy and comfortable with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lithia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lithia. 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 Lithia 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 Lithia 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 Lithia 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 Lithia. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
