“This is the first time that we've used Rover. Laura stayed at our house and watched our needy 15 year old lab for 8 1/2 hours. She did a fantastic job dealing with his separation anxiety and getting him in and out for potty breaks. Laura's 12 year old son Luke (a fine young man) came to assist and was very appreciative for the Massey's pizza for lunch. Laura is a very nice person and has to be a top rated dog/house sitter.”

“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”

“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”

“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”

“Michelle was perfect. She was so sweet and loving. We had a meeting before hand to make sure she was comfortable with our crew and it went great you can tell she has a big heart for animals. Our kitty Callie has some special needs and hasn't been feeling great she was really understanding and accommodating. We will definitely use Michelle for our pets again!”

“Amazing doesn’t even seem like enough to describe Patricia’s care. Bo has a lot of anxiety and medical needs and Patricia handled them all with ease. She did an excellent job of keeping us informed and making Bo comfortable. We would recommend Patricia and will definitely be booking her again.!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with 13+ years of cat care experience and a gentle Rough Collie of my own. I’ve built long-term trust with clients through consistent, reliable care—backed by 91 five-star reviews and Star Sitter status. I specialize in attentive care for pets with specific needs, including medication schedules, special diets, senior care, multiple pets and anxious or sensitive animals who need a calm, steady presence. I’m very comfortable with routine and training reinforcement and following detailed instructions exactly as provided. I’m available for walks, in-home stays, extended daytime care, or multiple hours of drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent companionship and reduce stress for pets who do best with regular presence and routine. My goal is always to keep your pets comfortable and your mind at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own home and prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so you always know they’re safe and cared for. I’m available for dog walking & pet check-ins 6am-10pm everyday including weekends. I’m a homemaker with a flexible schedule. If you need a different service/time please feel free to ask! I am experienced in making sure pets have the best environment possible when they’re in my care. Fresh food and water will always be taken care of, any messes will be cleaned up, and I always have time for extra playtime/attention. I believe we’re entrusted caretakers to all animals and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while in my care. :)
“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”


About: Former dog mom turned professional pet spoiler. I've been owned by two dogs and regularly watch friends' pets. You'll get LOTS of pictures, adorable updates, and the occasional letter directly from your buddy while you're away. I do work full time, but close to home so I'm out about 9 hours. I'm happy to take on pups that are potty trained. They get breaks and walks in the morning and breaks and walk all evening and night. When I watch dogs, my social life is limited, as I find much more joy loving on your little ones. 😍 I have open availability and am able to watch your pet in my home or yours. I'll treat your dog like my own, spoil them, give them all the love, or as much space as they choose. Your baby is allowed on the furniture and in bed, if they like, and you allow. We follow your rules and your routine, as much as possible, and any diversions from routine will be communicated.

About: Hi! My name is Marae. A little about me: I grew up in a home filled with a love for all animals, especially dogs and cats. From feeding and grooming to playtime, giving medication and comforting them when they were anxious, I learned early on how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Because animals have always been such an important part of my life, working with them feels completely natural to me and I truly enjoy it! When I worked at a pet boarding facility, I cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, each with their own routines, personalities, and preferences. I always made it a priority to ensure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their families were away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also a proud cat mom to three: Luna Storm, Chanse the Rapper (he talks a lot, hence the name), and Giovanni Grey. My schedule is flexible and I am normally available even with little notice. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet soon! Im currently working a full time work at home job. Im typically off by 3:00pm but can be off earlier if need be! :) I also have a lot of time open on the weekends. I have a lot of experience taking care of others animals! Something I'm most proud of is being able to read body language and reactions from each pets as each are so different!

About: Ive been around many animals all of my life, and love them so much! Whether you have a cat, dog, fish, hamster, or even a turtle, Id treat your pet as if it was my own! Ive been officially pet sitting for 3 years now, but growing up we had all sorts of pets so Ive been taking care of them for years! My services are overnight sitting, walking your dogs, stopping in to feed/ let them outside, or just staying with the pets for a few hours! I love all animals (excluding mosquitoes lol) so Id love to take care of yours! I currently work Monday- Friday 7:40 Am- 3:20 Pm, but I am still able to let dogs out to use the restroom before and after work/ feed animals, and I’m able to stay nights with them if need be! Saturdays/Sundays are fully open for me as well. I can take dogs on walks, or if clients have a fenced in yard I can stay out there and play with them. I am able to come stay for longer hours/ overnight past 3:20 PM on weekdays, and can stay all day on weekends! I am good with any dog/cat breeds, and will offer unconditional love and support to your babies!
“I can't say enough good things. We were a little stressed about leaving Guapo (our anxious and sometimes reactive pittie mix) with someone new on short notice over the holiday weekend, but Bishop was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to staying over and was absolutely great. Guapo took to him easily and was so well cared for - I also appreciated the quick check ins and pics to reassure us he was doing okay. This was such a relief and we will definitely reach out for future bookings!”

“Kam was such a blessing to us! She was caring and attentive and affectionate to my furry friends and went above and beyond for everyone even when she didn't have to. She booked with us last minute and put up with so many directions and last minute changes and surprises. I can't say enough about her. Thank you so much Kam. 🙏🙏🙏❤️”

“Not only did Cara take care of my girls, but she also kept the house super clean. That means so much, especially having no idea what you are going to come home to. Highly recommend Cara! Excellent communication and updates throughout the booking as well which is much appreciated.”


“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I treat every animal as they were my own. I have two dogs and one cat of my own and all are rescued and very loving. I would love to nurture and spoil your pets as I do my own. This includes endless amounts of love, plenty of play time and frequent walks, and potty breaks. I want you to know while your gone working hard your babies are cared for the best they could be. I've never came across an animal that hasn't loved me and that I haven't loved. I will give endless amounts of hugs and kisses if anything thats what I'll do too much of. Thank you can't wait to hear from owners :) I work from home and I'm here available all day we take potty breaks every 2 hours and exercise time. We give love care attention here I have 2 loving dogs who love other animals and a big maine coone cat who loves attention and playing my kids love to help out also
About: I’ve had a love of dogs forever and a general interest in them. I’ve had many of my own dogs and cared for the dogs of many friends and family members. I have experience with the care of senior dogs and administering medications and I know pet CPR. I am able to do drop ins for your dog every evening from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I can take your dog out of their crate and outside to your yard to run around or I can walk them if they like that better.
About: We have a spacious fenced yard for dogs. Our own three dogs are gentle and enjoy new friends. We have a 2 year old female Doberman, a 5 year old male Husky, and a 7 year old female Yorkie that keeps the other two in line. Each of them are fixed as well. My wife and I work opposite shifts during the week so one of us will be home during the day with a small hour gap between my wife leaving for work and I arriving home from work. Monday evenings is the only day where we are unavailable for drop offs, I have night school. We frequently let our dogs out to enjoy the outdoors as often as they wish. We feed our dogs twice daily, morning and evening. Their water bowls are never empty. We replace toys often as well considering one of our dogs is a super chewer. It would be an absolute honor to care for your beloved four legged best friend. Your feedback is invaluable, so after your pets stay, we kindly ask you to please leave a review. Your input helps us enhance our business when ensuring we provide the absolute best care for your family. Tips are highly encouraged and valued as we always give the highest care for your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lithopolis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lithopolis on Rover is $65 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 1,435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lithopolis. 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 Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis 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.
