Kaitlyn is a delightful pet sitter! She made us feel so at ease leaving our doggie at home in her care. She is great with animals and our grumpy old lady really liked her! Will definitely book again for the next trip!

Lisa and Drew did a great job caring for our dog. We appreciated all of the photo updates and reaching out with questions about how to keep our dog cool in the heat and if he had any issues with storms. We would gladly use them again! Thank you!

About: I currently work at a dog kennel so I have lots of dog experience! I have also had dogs my entire life from big Labs to chihuahuas! I currently go to school for 2 hours in the morning so my schedule is very very open. I am also only working part time. I crate all of my dogs so that is not and issue for me! I also have experience with food aggression and lots of different types of reactivity.

Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine with very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect a cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit. We are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.

Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!

About: Hi!! My names Raegen and I’d love to work with your babies! I’ve worked in the animal care world for a few years now and I love it more everyday! I’m very patient and am super attentive to caring for your pets. I’m gentle and would love to spend time with them!! I’ve worked with anxious and nervous animals and am very good with staying calm and letting them warm up to a new friend. I’m open to anything needed as I’m very comfortable in the animal world! I’m currently out of college for the summer and would like to keep my schedule busy as I’m not in school now! I am free Monday- Friday and sometimes weekends! I’m super comfortable with getting pups inside or crating them if needed. Treats always can work wonders!! I have no issues if any pups need to be moved in a separate area!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was able to drive. I have grown up around them and have pet sat for multiple family friends at least once a year. I have done some therapy dog training in middle school and have carried that with me when interacting with new pets. I am attending Normandale to complete my prerequisites in order to attend Pharmacy school at the University of Minnesota. Having a flexible schedule allows me to make sure I have time to get my work done. If your pet needs company, I am happy to sit and read a text book to them or play with them/take walks if I need a good break. As of fall 2026, I am only taking 2 classes which leaves plenty of time to come play with your fur baby! I believe smell and actions are important on first meetings. I am very gentle and will always let them smell me before I attempt to pet or play. Not all animals are trusting of people and I believe slow and steady does the trick. I lived with a Blind Shih Tzu for 2 years and at first she was always shaky and scared of everything. By the time her owner moved out, she wasn’t even afraid of storms anymore as I was able to work with her and give her confidence.

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

About: I’m a reliable, mature, and detail-oriented dog walker who truly treats every dog like my own. I’ve grown up around animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I adapt to each dog’s needs with patience and care. I am currently at college so my schedule is flexible! I am free anytime Tuesdays and Thursdays and Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30-10. My weekends are flexible as well! When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow their regular routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure to provide feeding, exercise, and playtime exactly as the owner requests. I treat their home with respect and maintain clear communication by sending updates and photos. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had a love for dogs since I can remember. Growing up on a farm my first priority before school was to make sure all the animals were fed, watered and cared for. Your fur baby will be my first priority when I wake up and for their entire visit with me. I like to take dogs for a long walk through the park or to the dog park when they come visit. I always ensure plenty of exercise and a safe play environment. I always have plenty of time for evening walks, playtime and mental enrichment activities. The dog park is always a must during your pets visit with us! I have a heeler mix rescue that gets along with any dog, him and I go for a walk everyday and would love to take your pup with us! I always make sure they are treated as if they are my own!

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets for many years. I am a trusted pet sitter around the neighborhood because I am reliable and patient with animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time on my days off to take care of your pets! Wednesdays work best for me but I can make other days work as well. Weekends are also flexible! Safety for everyone is my first priority! I would prefer to care for the pet in your home because that is where it is most comfortable and familiar, but I can be flexible!

About: I have 3 years of pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and lizards. I grew up around animals and currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and farm animals, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and routines. I’ve cared for up to 3 dogs at once and have experience with pets ranging from puppies and kittens to senior animals (dogs 1–14 years old, cats 1–17 years old). I’m also comfortable administering medications since my own pets require them. Experience with breeds ranges from English Mastiffs to small terriers. I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free most days of the week, and have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to treat not only your pets, but your property with respect and privacy. Your pets safety and happiness is one of my main goals with all of my visits.

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.

Rachel is wonderful! She dropped in to check on our 2 dogs during the most nerve-wracking holiday that our dogs despise (the July 4th, cue the fireworks) and communicated with us on how our dogs were doing. She provided comfort and cared for them while they were anxious. She was willing to work with us to ensure that one of our dogs was content. We'll book Rachel again!

Laura was absolutely AMAZING with our pup Benji! Benji is a timid dog who doesn’t do well with other dogs and Laura made him feel so comfortable while we were away. He gravitated towards her almost immediately when he met her (which he doesn’t do for many people). I cannot thank Laura enough for her amazing updates and the time she took to make sure Benji felt comfortable and happy with her while we were away. Cannot recommend her enough to take care of your furry family members!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lonsdale on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,926 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lonsdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lonsdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
