We booked Levi to watch our pets while we were away for our wedding weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond — coming to our house twice beforehand so our dogs (and even our cat!) could get comfortable with him. While we were gone, Levi took amazing care of our pets, including handling medications for our dogs with health issues, keeping us updated, and making sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! It gave us so much peace of mind during such an important weekend knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Levi again — highly, highly recommend! 🐶🐾

Our sitter had to cancel for a family emergency pretty last minute so we decided to try Rover. We reached out to Tori and received a response and set a time to meet really quickly! After agreeing to watch our 12 week old puppy we were off! We received multiple updates including pictures while we were away which really helped make us feel at ease. Tori also asked great questions about Ollie’s schedule and our expectations which made us feel more comfortable. We came home to happy puppy and a clean house! Would definitely recommend Tori for your next vacation!

Fira was wonderful with our senior dog. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! We were out of the country and she was very good at proactive communication. Our dog had a hard time with us gone and she handled everything with care and patience. We know he was in great hands!! Cannot recommend her enough.

Katherine was great with the dogs and cat. She was able to stay on track with their food and potty schedule. She let us know immediately when one of the dogs had an accident on the couch and asked how we would like her to clean it up. She was willing to get the garbage and recycling out for us while we were out of town. The house was just as clean as when we left. She was very responsive to our messages. We will hire her again. We would highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with five at a time—mostly black labs and black lab/German shepherd mixes—so I’m very used to bigger, stronger dogs. My dad often took us to dog events when I was a kid, which gave me plenty of experience handling all kinds of breeds and personalities. Along the way, I also picked up basic training skills, so I know how to keep dogs engaged, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently a full time college student but I would be able give pet care in between classes during the day and some some weekends as needed When I care for pets in your home, I always follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while keeping things consistent with their food, walks, and sleeping schedule. I’m happy to reinforce any training or commands you use, and I’ll keep your home tidy while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a cozy space. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and cared for.

Elena is easily the best sitter we've ever had!! She was very communicative and transparent about the care she gave to both Rosemary and Duffey. Rosemary still has some puppy to her, and is high energy, and has some high maintenance elements, but Elena was very attentive to our concerns and all of the details of her nutritional care. This allowed my husband and I to really relax on our vacation instead of worrying about how they were doing. We received updates and pictures every day, and they seemed to all be having the best time! Rosemary got lots of walks and playtime, and even our usually shy cat seemed comfortable with her right away. Elena was also flexible and accommodating both to our schedules (we had very early and very late flights departing and arriving respectively) and to the animals' schedules. Overall, it really felt like she was treating both Rosemary and Duffey like she would treat her own pets, and they both seemed totally relaxed when we got home (which has not been the case with every sitter). Additionally, she took excellent care of our home, and even shoveled for us when we got an unexpected snowfall! We would 100% love to have Elena care for our animals again, and have already recommended her to several friends. She is the absolute best!

Ally is truly an amazing dog sitter and we’d confidently recommend her to everyone we know!! She watched our 110 lb malamute / shepherd mix named Winston for 8 days while my husband and I were on vacation and we could not have hoped for a better sitter for our boy. Winston has a lot of very strict dietary constraints and Ally managed it with total ease. Her communication was top notch, sending us updates and photos every day, which we were so appreciative of!! Our internet went out in the middle of the stay and a technician needed to come out to address it and make repairs - Ally handled the situation so smoothly, even taking down thorough notes for us to reference on the changes to our hardware & internet connection when we got back home. She was extremely patient, helpful & communicative throughout the whole ordeal! Ally was incredibly thoughtful with managing the upkeep / cleaning of our house, offering to go way above and beyond what we’d ever ask of her. Booking with her was one of the best decisions we’ve made, made even better by how much Winston loved his time with her - he went looking for her around our house the day after she left and we know he’ll be so excited to see her again one day ❤️ Thank you so much again for such an amazing stay, Ally!!

About: Hi, I’m Izabelle! I’m a dedicated animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who has medical needs. This has taught me how to be attentive, patient, and responsible when caring for pets. I’ve also provided pet sitting for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, and I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. For the next three months, pet sitting will be my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. After that, my availability will be more limited as I begin paramedic schooling, but I will still be available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I always follow the pet owner's instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety by keeping a clean environment, monitoring pets closely, and making sure they are secure during walks and visits. I also have experience caring for a dog with medical needs and can provide extra attention when needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

We came back to relaxed and happy animals. We also came back to a clean and well cared home. I definitely recommend Michael! he

Corey did a great job taking care of Asher. He was very communicative throughout his stay and went above and beyond taking Asher for extra walks. My dog can be a puller and overly enthusiastic when he sees other dogs and people. Because of this I get nervous having others walk him. Corey is the only person I have net that I fully trust to walk him. I will definitely continue to have Corey take care of my boy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lonsdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lonsdale on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,738 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lonsdale. 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 Lonsdale 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 Lonsdale 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 Lonsdale 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 Lonsdale. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
