“Fantastic job! Fur babies loved her. She gave my cat who has asthma his pills and inhaler twice a day. Arrived early and great with communication/photos. I have 1 dog and two cats and she stayed over for two days, I have zero complaints and will book again!”
About: Calm, direct, structured dog walker/sitter. Strong behavior cue recognition, leash skills, and vet/med/admin experience. Great with larger dogs, seniors, and nervous pets. Daily, I check messages, confirm schedules, and plan calm walks/sitting times. Weekends I block longer visits for feeding/meds and behavior notes, keeping routines consistent and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I keep routines consistent, minimize stress, follow written instructions closely, and do calm, structured walk/feeding/med support. I provide behavior notes and quick check-ins.
“Amelia is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I could not have asked for someone better to stay with my pups while I was out of the country. She took amazing care of them and kept me in the loop! Would 1000% rebook with her! Thanks for helping to make my vacation stress free!”
About: We have lots of experience with dogs, cats and many other types of animals! Large property with room to run, we have several horses and goats on site. Family care in our home (with children). Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years. We do have a kennel license through the state and as such, we require a copy of your current rabies vaccine and dog license (easy to do and only about $12 online!). Question on this? Just ask! We have several older children who help out with daily care, walks, and feeding. One parent is stay at home and the other parent works flexible hours. We have a large house for dogs to roam and play throughout the day. Sleeping can be in a kennel or snuggled with us in bed--whatevert you prefer. Large outdoor spaces to roam and we love to take walks in the neighborhood.
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“Kyle really came through for my girls and I in a pinch. Their regular sitter was not available for a weekend beach trip I had planned and we put our trust in another awesome human. He showed up for a meet and greet and my spicy, anxious ridden rescue took to him fairly quickly. We were all happy he was able to stay overnight. My girls usually dont do well with being left alone more than one night. I had updates when I needed and I came home to my place the way I left it. Would definitely use Kyle again.”
“Ilene was amazing and took great care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town for the weekend. Our dogs can be a little wary of new people, but warmed up to Ilene right away. We appreciated the updates and communication and would definitely rebook with Ilene again in the future!”
“For the first time ever, our cat wasn't traumatized by our vacation so Khadijah has my high recommendation! She kept trying to make friends with our antisocial kitty, took good care of him, our bird feeding, our plants and our home. She reported daily with photos which I really appreciated. She's responsible and caring and I'm grateful to her!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.
“Avah was so good with my dog Tank. When we first met her he was already pulling towards her like he knew she was “pet people.” He’s an old man but a good judge of character. She sent pictures daily and made she he got plenty of walks to keep him moving.”
About: I have 2 fur babies back at home- they are my everything! I make sure to provide attentive care to them, playing with them, and making sure they are cared for! I am currently looking for part time work before moving for a job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I will accommodate your exact needs (walk, run, park, food, etc) with your pet! I will make sure they are protected and under great care.
“Hailey stayed at my house for a week and took excellent care of my cat and my dog. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. My cat is pretty laid back, but my dog can demand a lot of attention and extra loving. Hailey helped my dog through an anxiety ridden night during bad thunder storms with her quick thinking and attention to my dog's needs. She was also very respectful of the house and left everything clean and even offered to water my plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the pets - who we missed so much! My pets were happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you so much Hailey!”
“Madeleine was wonderful! She was responsive from the very first communication. She genuinely connected with our dog immediately and kept us informed and updated with pictures while we were on vacation. We look forward to having her care for our Zoey in the future. She is a gem.”
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
About: Hi I’m Olivia and I love taking care of dogs and cats! I am 22 and currently a student at Penn State. I have 4 cats of my own and love to be around animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for almost six years now and I absolutely love doing it! I enjoy taking care of pets of all ages and love to run and walk with dogs as well. I’m great with younger pets that have a lot of energy as well as older ones who are more relaxed. I’m very responsible and reliable and take pet sitting very seriously. I will give your pet much needed love and attention while you are away or unable to be there for them! When I’m home on breaks or holidays I’m available pretty much whenever! I will always keep my availability up to date and will work with clients to fit their needs. When caring for pets in my clients home I always respect the pet’s space first. I’m coming into their home and want to make the pets feel comfortable.
“Sheryl and her husband were truly OUTSTANDING! They came through for me when I found myself with an 11th hour need, and took excellent care of my 15week puppy over the weekend. They gave her lots of playtime and affection. You can trust Sheryl to take excellent care of your dog.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lobachsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lobachsville. 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 Lobachsville 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 Lobachsville 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 Lobachsville 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.
