“Dustin was great with my little pack of 3 and kept me in the loop with pictures, videos, and good communication through the weekend. I have 1 who can be shy and standoffish to new people, and typically will mope in his kennel the whole time, everytime I’m gone. He got zoomies as soon as he met Dustin and not only didn’t stay mopey during Dustin’s time watching them, but actually played with Dustin & seemed to have a great time! I would happily book with him again and recommend to others”

“Janet is an All Star! I was hesitant to get a pet sitter, but meeting Janet immediately put me at ease. She was great with communication, trustworthy and professional. But, most important, my little anxious puppy is still looking for her after she left! I will rebook with Janet again.”

About: Hi! My name is Cassandra, I have always had pets at home. From cats and dogs, to lizards and fish. I love being around animals and seeing them experience joy and contentment. My pets are like my practice children and I put so much care into their well being. I hope to be able to do the same for your pets as well. I don't have a fulltime job so I am extremely flexible with your schedule. I can do pretty much anything, walks for the dogs (or any other type of pet) playing with the cats, feeding, overnight, and if you need something else please reach out! I would love to be able to help you with whatever your pets might need. If you have any questions at all please feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you and I look foreword to meeting you fur babies! I currently am not working so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to spend with your beauties! So I am open to all types of schedules. I can feed, play, clean up, and walk with all your pets. Drop ins or night stays I am open for either. I cannot do very long walks due to a medical issue but I can play fetch all day and long a good jaunt around the neighborhood.

About: Hi! I’m Carlee- a wife, mom, and animal lover! Our family has a one year old Golden Retriever named Sonny, who keeps us active, entertained, and smiling every day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. As we all know, they’re not “just pets”, they’re family. My goal is to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give Sonny. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and over night stays in the comfort of your pets own home. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets. I’d love to get to know them, learn their routines and personalities, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away 🤎🐶🐈 I’m a mom with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and lots of attention throughout the week. I love getting outside for walks and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Kaela, and I’m a recent UNR graduate who works a 9–5. I’ve always been an animal lover and grew up with larger dogs, including Labs, Australian Shepherds, and Border Collies. I also come from a cat-loving family and currently live with an adorable kitty! I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and have experience caring for all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, and goats. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very excited for the opportunity to meet your best friend and help make your life a little easier! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work a 9–5, Monday through Friday, but I’m available to care for your pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I do not provide services in my own home, I care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I strive to provide reliable, respectful, and attentive care every time. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands!

“Jennifer and Kathy are a very caring team! They took care of our very needy dog for 2 days in our home. Jennifer took pictures and videos for us to see him daily, and took him for a walk. Renzo was never alone during the night. After breakfast they left but came back during the day to feed him and potty breaks. We found Renzo and the house clean! We definitely re-book with Jennifer again!”

She was extremely responsive and shared regular updates and pictures, and helped set up a meet and greet and a warm hand off before I left. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to stay with their furry friend :-)”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lockwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 694 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockwood. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
