“Mariah did an amazing job with our dogs! She had great communication, paid attention to all the little details, and was so patient with our pups, who can be a bit nervous around new people. We really appreciated the care and kindness she showed them, and it gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would happily trust Mariah with our dogs again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have worked as a Kennel Attendant for 4 years, as well as a slight training background! I have a well rounded understanding of pet behavior, and an extensive understanding for what is required to have a healthy and happy pet! I have worked and helped with a large range of animals and pets, including training with puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I work part time currently, so I have ample time to ensure pets are well taken care of and played with! There will be plenty of time to meet client needs, as well as pet needs! I understand routines and needs for animals, and what their needs look like. I am able to meet needs that an animal might need. My focus will be the comfort of the animal, and following their routines. I am able to walk, kennel, potty, feed, play, ect. with no problems! Body language and environment are important to read in an animal, and I have a well rounded understanding in that area! This means I am able to understand and respect an animals boundaries, even if they are not able to verbally communicate them.
About: I recently graduated college and am looking to earn some extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m newer to Rover, but I have experience caring for friends’ pets, including feeding and checking in on cats, and I’m excited to build more experience! I’m reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I have a cat of my own who I love with my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and do my best to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’d also love to take your dog on a fun, safe walk! I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that’s a relaxed stroll, getting some energy out, or simply enjoying some fresh air and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I currently work full-time, but I usually work T-F from 7:00-5:30. I am available weekends and before/after work to check in on pets. I can keep a clean environment for pets, giving them anything they need and being mindful of owner requests. I like to make sure the animal has a stress free environment where they can eat, sleep, etc., and do everything they would normally do under their owners care. I do my best to keep them out of trouble they may get themselves into without my supervision. Beyond that, lots of pets and love!
“Rylee was quick to respond for booking, stayed at our meet and greet to bond with my pups. Emmy loved Rylee while my Riley took time to warm up. We had a small hiccup at start of stay increasing my anxiety but Rylee came through and sent me pics every morning and evening.”
About: My family fosters numerous animals, so I have a ton of experience taking care of newborn kittens/puppies who need a little bit of extra TLC! I work part time, and I love to hangout with animals in my free time. This usually consists of a good walk or just some quality time! In my home, I have 3 dogs and 4 cats, so we have a full house. We have an unfenced yard, but we have a run in the backyard.
“She is so wonderful, as soon as we met Shayla the girls were already attached, she focused a lot on them during our two visits. She is a wealth of knowledge and good information. When we came home our house as clean as we left it, She sent us numerous pictures and we chatted about things”

“Molly was wonderful! We will definitely have her watch our dog, Ellie, again. She provided updates/pictures and took great care of her. She also went above and beyond with picking up our home after she had stayed which we greatly appreciated!”
“We booked Tyla for house sitting our small “zoo” (2 dogs, bird, and fish). She was kind enough to do an in home visit prior to the job just to make sure it was going to be a good fit. She was kind, professional, well-spoken, and was very good with the dogs. Both our dogs are rescues and one has severe anxiety, especially around strangers. Tyla was patient and kind and it took Sadie no time at all to warm up to her! It was very comforting to know our dogs and house were in good hands while we were away. Tyla also gave daily updates and photos which were very nice as we really miss them when we are away. She took great care of the house as well and it was very neat and tidy when we arrived home. So nice after a long trip! We will definitely use Tyla in the future and would recommend her highly!”
About: Since 10 years ago I’ve enjoyed giving attention to dogs and cats and making them feel happy, active, safe, and giving the attention they want. I am self employed and sole business owner so jumping to a dog or cat need is easy for my schedule. I have high accountability and professionalism being a financial entrepreneur and loving dogs and cats as a side hobby here. I scan the environment and see what they like to do, I watch their behavior and compliment it or help guide them for behavior or their needs. Studying them and then making sure they feel happy, active, safe, and attention given!
About: Hello! My name is Jazmin 👋 I own Rugged Paws Training! I offer in-home boarding, walks, drop-ins, daycare, and training! I specialize in puppy care, and reactive dogs! For boarding, dogs are required to be crate trained or able to be crated safely. Intact dogs are accepted! I operate out of a facility for boarding with limited in home options. I can accommodate daycare at the facility Monday and Wednesday through Friday with at home options weekends and Tuesdays. I own my home, which has a fenced in yard and doggy door access to it 24/7. My gates are locked, so that people are not able to walk by and easily let my pets out. I also have an extra-large and small crate available if needed. I have 2 bedrooms that I do not use, which can be utilized for separating the animals. We also have a facility that has a tall fenced space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lockwood on Rover is $38.25 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 144 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lockwood. 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 Lockwood 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 Lockwood 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 Lockwood 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.
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.
