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. :)

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!

I currently work Monday- Friday 7:40 Am- 3:20 Pm, but Im still available for Pre/ Post work drop ins, dog walking, or overnight sitting! I can take dogs on walks, or if clients have a fenced in yard I can stay out there and play with them as long as they need.

About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.

“Mackenzie and Adam did a wonderful job watching our two dogs while we were on family vacation! After failing at finding onboarding that we were comfortable with we decided to have someone stay at the house and we made a great choice! We felt very confident that they would do just fine in Mackenzie and Adam's care and we were right! We came home to a clean home and happy pups :) You won't regret choosing them either! Thank you so much Mackenzie and Adam! We appreciate you both ☺️”

About: Hi! I am a speech therapist at NCH and an avid dog sitter. I have many years of experience dog sitting for dogs of various sizes, ages, and needs. I have also grown up with dogs of my own, therefore I think it’s important to find someone that will care for your pets as if they were their own! Due to work I will be gone during the day however I am happy to stay over night and I will be with them on weekends. I prioritize sticking to the pets schedule as I know that it can be stressful for them when their families leave. I will care for them following the directions provided and adding in extra love, treats, and walks so that they don’t miss you too much while you’re gone!

We had a great experience with our Selena during our 7-day trip. She stayed in our home and took excellent care of our dogs, making sure they stuck to their normal routine and had plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable and well cared for. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily book again!

I booked Selena last minute as our sitter cancelled on us. She was great to meet with and seemed to get along well with my pups. She cleaned up before she left which was not expected and replied to all my texts asking about the pups daily :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Lithopolis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lithopolis is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $78 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 1,391 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 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 Lithopolis. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
