“Micah took great care of our cat, dog, and house while we were away. The animals were clearly very comfortable with her and she was very communicative with us during our trip. We loved seeing all the pictures of them hanging out and looking like their normal, happy selves. Thanks, Micah!”
“Antoinette was exceptional! We recently learned that our dog has a heart condition and we were worried to leave him alone for the weekend. Antoinette communicated with us very regularly, giving updates on when he ate, took his medication and what he was up to throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to care about him, even though they had just met. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care and she left our home in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Antoinette to anyone looking for pet care; we absolutely would book again.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James was absolutely amazing with Meiko! From the beginning, he was incredibly attentive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and most importantly, Meiko absolutely loved him! He was also extremely respectful of my home and just genuinely so friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave Meiko while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I will absolutely be booking with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, James! 🐾💕”
About: I am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and sizes. Every dog has their different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a college student attending campus once a week with a very flexible part time work schedule. I can easily plan around pet care and provide consistent, reliable care that fits each pet's needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with every pet in my care. I follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection so pets feel safe and cared for while their parents are away.
“Amanda was amazing, super friendly, responsive. I felt like my baby was left in great hands. She treated my dog like she was her own and I couldn’t appreciate that enough. Definitely will be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since I was born. Have had 6 dogs and now 2 cats. Fully capable of walking and feeding any dog or cat regardless of size I currently have open availability for pet care throughout the day and night. I have a few responsibilities at the house I have to take care of but they don’t take much time. I just make sure if they haven’t been out in some time I make sure they’re walked or let outside. Also walk by the water bowl to make sure they have enough clean water for themselves. I give them their privacy but also come by them to make sure everything is alright.
“Carolyn was incredible with our two gals! She’s super attentive and cares about making sure they’re happy while we’re away. We’ll be bringing her back several more times this year. High recommend!”
“I was very pleased with Ana’s care for Roxy and would definitely hire her again. Ana received a handoff from our other sitter who was only available for the first half of our trip. The handoff was smooth (Ana and Amy coordinated directly). Ana provided regular updates and photos to let us know Roxy was doing well. She was flexible with her departure time on the last day while we made sure there would be no issue with our flights. Our house was left in the same condition as the day we left. All good.”
“T'Keyah was great with my 6-year-old dog, Gypsy. We had a half an hour meet-and-greet and Gypsy loved her right away! T'Keyah watched her for five hours, Gypsy was very calm when I got home, so I know she was comfortable spending time with T'Keyah. I would have her dog-sit any time!”
About: I have had pets since I was young, and until I had to move away for college I was the primary care giver for both a cat and a dog. I loved ensuring that my pets were happy and healthy. As a waitress I work mostly at night, so I will be mostly available in the mornings and afternoons. However, on my days off I will be available at all times if the day. My top priority will always be the comfort of you and your pets, no matter the service. I will always put your pets needs first.
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
“Michael was incredibly kind and patient with our high-anxiety mini-poodle. He spent extra time getting to know our dog ahead of the stay, provided photos (album-worthy pictures!) and updates, and left our house in spotless condition. Five stars! We will absolutely hire Michael the next time we travel.”
“Jeff was great. He came by twice before the weekend trip to make sure we were all on the same page and that he was comfortable with our 4 year old Weimaraner. We’ve already rebooked for our next trip and the addition of a puppy!”
About: I always make sure to pay attention to detail, follow owner instructions and go above and beyond with little added touches. I can be at your house in the evenings to take your dog out so that you don’t have to rush home from work and worry about accidents. I’m perfectly fine cleaning up messes, too, as I know sometimes potty accidents happen before we can get them out. I love to dog sit your dogs at my house! My home has become quite the pup home away from home and we’ve been having so much fun! I am currently a teacher and would love the chance to hang out with your pup when I get home from work in the evening time. I also have dogs stay at my home overnight and give them lots of play time in the evenings! I have one very friendly dog at home who is 5 and has lots of energy to play and engage with other dogs. If your dog needs a playmate, I can bring Daisy along for our walks. If not that’s fine too! I am comfortable feeding and giving water and treats to your dog, picking up after your dog and providing light play after our walk. I am most comfortable providing longer walks where we can get your dogs energy out and give them fresh air. I would also be fine letting your dog out into your yard, putting them back in a crate, or whatever is necessary to help your dog feel most comfortable. I have experience with dogs that tug on the leash and chase small animals.
“I really appreciated Jasmine’s care for Katie. It seems they had a wonderful time together, I could tell Katie was relaxed from pics sent. Also I really appreciated the clear and reliable communication. It really made me feel at ease. 100% will be coming back to Jasmine!”

Micah took wonderful care of our German Shepherd while we took a short trip. She is delightful and has a positive attitude. We came home to a happy pup and clean house. I loved receiving photos and updates each day on my dog. We will ask her again to dog sit our dog the next time we travel.
This is the second time Dr Fecci and I have worked with Kaitlin. She is incredibly reliable and is working with him over time on his socialization around other dogs. She is keenly aware of when he is feeling stressed. He enjoys when Kaitlin is his sitter, and I am at ease.
Bronte is a gem! She took amazing care of our 4 cats and our home while we were away. She was even able to accommodate an extra day/night with minimal notice. She sent us frequent updates with pictures and videos. Our babies love her! She left the house in pristine condition, even washing the bed linens before we returned home. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her for future trips!
Jerad was amazing and I’m so glad we had him watching over our two fur babies while we were away! He kept in contact with daily updates and did everything we asked from giving the dogs plenty of play time as well as walks. We felt completely at ease being away on vacation and we will definitely being booking Jerad again in the future when we need to be away!
Julion was an amazing dog sitter! He took incredible care of our dog, Chance, our big 115-pound pup, while we were away. He was very attentive and even made sure to be mindful of the heat and hot pavement during walks, which we really appreciated. He sent us daily updates with lots of pictures, giving us complete peace of mind and letting us see how happy Chance was throughout our trip. When we got home, the house was spotless and exactly as we left it. It’s clear that Julion is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about both the pets and the homes he looks after. We would absolutely book Julion again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lochearn is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $64 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.

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 Lochearn 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 Lochearn 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 Lochearn 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.

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.
