About: I have loved animals my whole life. growing up with dogs, cats, fish, and birds, I enjoy pets of all kinds! I have experience with both pet boarding and pet sitting! I have worked with several different families with multiple dog and feel totally comfortable with that. Going to the dog park is always fun but I know some dogs aren’t comfortable there. I also have lots of experience with cats and birds. My roommate is allergic to cats so they can’t stay at our house but I would be happy to come to yours. Walking pups is a great way to explore new neighborhoods. Through these kinds of experiences I have learned that it is always more fun to walk around and explore with a four legged friend. I work a pretty consistent schedule but I am lucky enough to be able to flex it. I can adjust it to meet your pups needs. I have a fenced in yard that I spend a lot of time in during the summer. There are no other dogs in the building
“Julia was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog, Lucy. Our house was spotless and she made us feel super comfortable in leaving Lucy. She provided pictures and updates. We came home and while our dog was happy to see us, she also had a calmness to her that made us know she was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you, Julia!”

About: I've had dogs in my family ever since I was a little kid, so I have a good amount of experience. Over the last couple of years especially, I have really worked to have meaningful relationships with my family dogs, spending quality time with them inside and outside, taking them for walks, and providing them with plenty of love. Unfortunately, the family dog we've for nearly 15 years passed away recently :( I put together a memory book of her this last Christmas, attesting to just how special she was to our family. I am a very respectful, friendly, and dependent sitter. I can always be counted on to not only do what's right, but to go above and beyond expectations. I prioritize a healthy and active lifestyle, so sitting on my phone or being lazy would never be an issue! I love to take dogs for walks outside, or simply even just play and spend time with them! I am currently in the process of finding full time work for this summer. I would likely be working Mon-Fri; however, that isn't 100% confirmed. With that in mind, Saturday and Sunday would likely be the days that would work best for dog walking and/or house sitting. Depending on what specific work hours look like, I would also be available to walk dogs during weekdays as well, most likely in the evening hours after dinner time (5pm and on) In my client's home, I will always be respectful of their home and property. I demonstrate amazing responsibility and can be very well trusted to follow all/any specific instructions in caring for the client's dog! Above all, I will always make sure everyone is safe and taken care of, but also have fun as well!
About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.

I’m available throughout the day for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship. Since I’m home most of the day, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m also happy to follow their normal daily routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

“Corey did an amazing job. He was extremely responsive and communicative. He spent tons of quality times with our cats, playing with them and cuddling. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“There’s not enough space on this page to mention all the wonderful things about Autumn. In a word, unbelievable. She is exceptionally caring, thoughtful, and meticulous. She went well above and beyond our expectations. She’s an outstanding communicator and we knew our pet was in the best possible hands while we were away. For honorable mention, she had to manage a tree falling on her vehicle during her stay. She gave our dog an enormous amount of attention and love in addition to leaving our home in immaculate condition. We can’t thank her enough.”
“It was our first time using Rover, but Dylan and his wife immediately put us at ease and went above and beyond our expectations! It was a highlight of our vacation to get his daily report on our cat and dog and pics. He gave them more attention than we normally do on weekends, and we could tell our pets were relaxed and happy. We’ll definitely book again!”

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.
<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 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.

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.

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.
