“Judith was wonderful! Sent tons of pics to us and I can see in those pictures that our boys were well cared for and having a great time. The house was left cleaner than when we left bc she even swept the kitchen floor!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Judith to take care of our boys during every trip we take!”
“Sarah is truly an angel right here on earth. Our Oliver clearly loves her as much as we do and seems to say "ok, you can leave again, I'm in good hands " 😂😂when we get home. She is always on time, goes the extra mile...the house is perfect when we get home. Today we got home and found the driveway and sidewalk shoveled!!!! Truly above and beyond! I hesitate to leave this review as we are worried she will book up.wnd won't be available when we need her...but we couldn't NOT share how amazing she is. You can tell she absolutely loves animals. We love her as much as Oliver does.”
“Rachel did an incredible job taking care of our 15 year old pup! She was also very accommodating when we came back later than expected and was able to wait for us. We will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Becca is wonderful with my very high energy and high maintenance German Shorthaired Pointers. There isn't anyone else that I trust them with. She is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond.”
“Haley was absolutely incredible! Our dogs have been sat before and when we come home they seem to be in a funk. But with Haley, it felt as though our pups had been so well taken care of! Not to mention our home was so cared for as well. She was very communicative, and open! Highly highly recommend her! She’s just lovely!”
“Wow! 🤩 Noelle is deserving of ONE MILLION stars! She cared for my two senior and special needs dogs like they were her own! Going above and beyond with their special diet, schedule and administering insulin shots. BONUS: it look like housekeeping showed up before I arrived. Already rebooked for future dates 🌟”

“Belle took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. Belle was understanding of our dogs’ particular needs and took great care of them. She made sure to send update pictures daily. Belle also goes the extra mile to get all pertinent information about the dogs before hand. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hello please allow me to spoil your pet. I have cared for cats ,dogs,birds, and my husband is a saltwater specialist. Our work schedule is perfect to provide attentative care. I am currently off for the summer and in the fall my husband and I work opposite schedules. We have large fenced in back yard with no rear neighbors and 1.5 acre of serene nature. Located convenient to almost any town and only 2 miles from Buffalo Airport.
About: I’m caring, patient, dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m great at following detailed instructions from pet parents, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, or specific house rules. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs. While I’m newer to caring for cats and don’t have experience with newborn puppies, I’m always willing to learn and follow your instructions closely. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. 🐾 I have consistent availability that makes it easy to plan pet care around your needs. On weekdays, I’m available from 4:15 PM until 5:30 AM the following morning. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability when given at least 24–48 hours’ notice. I appreciate advance bookings so I can make sure I have plenty of dedicated time for your pet without feeling rushed. I believe in keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, bedtime, medications if applicable, and any special routines your pet is used to. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to provide pictures and updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well while you’re away.
“Karibian is the absolute BEST! It was our first time using house sitting services, and she made us feel so comfortable. Her check-in’s with photos of our babies made us feel so much better about our decision to switch from a boarding facility to a house sitter. You can really tell she loves what she does! And you can tell our furbabies loved her company! She goes above and beyond to make sure our babies are loved when we are away😊”
About: My first formal pet sitting experience was taking out and playing with my uncle’s black lab puppy after school, my senior year of high school. Then, that same year I pet my aunt’s 2 cats in 2016. During the pandemic, for over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house while she was away at work. I would take her precious pup Lala out for walks, give Lala and her cat-sister Sophia their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. I recently left law school, so my availability is completely free until I find a full-time job! I would love to set your mind at ease by visiting your home as often as you’d like! I would care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-son, Remy. I give him all the attention he desires, and I do the less-than-desireable things (like washing his litterbox monthly, clipping his nails, and brushing his teeth) with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for him.
“Kelsey was a great dogsitter who went above and beyond for us. She stayed at the house for 3 overnights with our 2 old lady dogs while we went to my dad's memorial. Our old lady dogs are so old that the kennel would be too much for them. Kelsey deftly handled their separate feeding requirements and kept them on their potty schedule. She made fast friends with them and they were at ease with her. She was communicative with us about her schedule and even sent fun photo updates. We trusted her and really appreciated her being there. We feel like we lucked out with Kelsey and hope to hire her again! Thank you Kelsey, from Ruby, Daisy and all of us!”
“Tatyjana was fantastic. She gave us daily updates and was quick to respond. It was obvious she pampered the dogs while she was here; she even got them to tolerate nail trimmings! When we got home, the dogs were happy, the house was clean, the chickens were taken care of. We will absolutely hire her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lockport
Shelby was fantastic! This was mine and my husbands first experience using Rover and we were very impressed with how Shelby was attentive to our fur babies. She was great with providing updates as well as making sure that everything was well taken care of upon our return. We will be using her services again!
Melissa was absolutely amazing! Abby and Melissa bonded immediately at the meet and greet. I was able to go on vacation and trust her with administering Abby’s insulin. It was such an ease to my nerves especially with her quick and professional responses! I would absolutely recommend Melissa to any family and friends who need help with pet sitting and I can’t wait to call her in the future! She was the best, thank you so much Melissa!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lockport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lockport on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lockport. 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 Lockport 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 Lockport 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 Lockport 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockport. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 86% 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.
