“Keliann is heaven sent! We’ve used her a couple of times now from drop ins to house sitting and can’t say enough good things about her. I love that she sends us daily updates and pictures while we’re gone to let us know how our babies are doing. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Hunter is a great sitter for Ollie. He took good care of Ollie while I was out of town. He took Ollie to the vet when Ollie had an upset stomach. He also made sure the house was clean on the last day of house sitting.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Elmer! From the moment we connected, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos of my cat and dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he take wonderful care of my pets, but he also went above and beyond by looking after my home. When I returned, the house was even better than when I left it—clean, organized, and clearly treated with care. Elmer is truly one of a kind: trustworthy, responsible, and 100% reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He’s the best!”
About: I grew up with many dogs, and my dad’s favorite breed was the Central Asian Shepherd—those are huge! I also had a Husky, so I know firsthand how energetic they can be. More recently, I’ve gained experience walking a Pug, so I understand the needs of different breeds. I’d love to meet your dog, spend time with them, go on walks, play, feed, and give them all the love I have! I’m unemployed now, so I have a lot of time and energy for your pets. I’m tired of sitting home and want to have more activity in my life. Hope your pet will help me reliable pet care by ensuring your dog gets an enjoyable walk, your cat is well-fed, and your pets feel safe and comfortable in your home. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of a familiar environment, so I offer in-home sleepovers for your pets when needed, giving them the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
About: I am a Navy veteran and registered behavioral technician with a pretty open schedule to take care of your furries. I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. From having my own dogs and cats to making friends with any and every animal around me. You can assure that your pet will be comfortable and safe with me. Besides school full time and the gym every morning, I am open and available. The only time my schedule isn’t flexible is if I’m out of town. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space. My home is also kid proof which oftentimes means animal proof as well lol. Everything’s copasetic
“Holly was an amazing sitter! We were initially a little nervous because our dogs have very distinct personalities and needs—especially our two senior pups—but Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. She sent consistent updates with a full set of pictures at every visit that we grew to look forward to while we were away, which reassured us that everyone was doing great. The dogs were clearly getting plenty of time to eat, play, and just be themselves, and they warmed up to her right away—which doesn’t always happen! Holly was friendly, easy to work with, and followed all of our care instructions to a T. She also left the house exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. We’ll absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter!”
About: I currently have two cats and I have experience petsitting my friends’ dogs and cats. I’d love to care for yours too! I have a big, fenced backyard and front yard. I also have plenty of room inside my home. I work from home so I’m home 24/7. I have plenty of experience in feeding, administering medicine, cutting toenails, bathing, brushing, and picking up after dogs and cats. Please let me know if you have any other specific questions! I work full time at home. The only times I’m not home is when I work out for one hour or do errands. I’m very flexible with schedules so just let me know what your needs are! I have a fenced yard, no kids and a two-story home. I also like taking a lot of walks and going to the beach if your pet wants to be outdoors.
About: I am a stay at home mom ready to care for your pets. I grew up with dogs my whole life. Our 8 year old pitbull has just passed away and we love the company of different pups! I’m also a nursing student. I have skills ranging from puppies to senior dogs. We love to play fetch or go on walks with the dogs we’re watching. (I make sure to walk early morning or later at night when it’s hot). I am available any day and time. I am a stay at home mom and I do school on my laptop. I am ready to care for your furry friends. I had a dog for8 years that just recently passed away. He was the sweetest dog you will ever meet. We have a fenced in yard and three children.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. All of my friends, family, and neighbors have counted on me to care for their pets whenever they could not be home to do it themselves. I am currently self employed. I set my own schdule. So I will have ample time to give your fur-babies the attention they deserve. I normally schedule at least 45 minutes to an hour per visit. Allowing plenty of time to walk the dogs, love on the dogs or cats, clean litter boxes. And feed the fur-babies
About: My first pet sitting job was when I was 8 or 10. I’ve been a dog and cat lover for my whole life. I currently don’t have any pets, but I had multiple cats for over 20 years. I’ve also watched friends’ and families’ pets over the years. I treat animals as family members! I talk to them when I’m with them and try to interact with them as much as possible. I work full time out of the home, so I’m unable to do daytime play or potty breaks, but I’m single without children, so my evenings and weekends are often free! I treat all pets as members of their family. I respect animals the same way I respect their humans - each animal deserves to be well cared for and well loved!
“Sebastian was such a life saver when it came to watching my dog! He was extremely flexible and responsive. He sent photos and videos each day. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone watching Hercules for me! My dog gets very anxious when I got out of town and usually is sick by the time I got back but that didn’t happen at all with Sebastian! My dog was just as happy and healthy as he was when I left and I was gone for over a week. I would highly highly recommend Sebastian to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lochridge on Rover is $33.3 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 2,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lochridge. 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 Lochridge 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 Lochridge 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 Lochridge 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.
