“This was my first time for a sitter. Mitchel, was great! The house was kept neat, he was professional and handled my clingy little Shih Tzu with ease. He was patient and attentive. He supplied me with pictures and updated throughout the time with her. I appreciate him so much and highly recommend him. I will certainly use Mitchel again.”
“Ida was great, she was very attentive to my furry family member. Ida kept me well informed of how everything was progressing and my dog overall. I could not have asked for more.”
“Jadyn did a really great job taking care of our dogs & chickens. One of our dogs had been spayed & needed A little extra care but she had no issues doing those things. She kept us updated with photos the entire time. We will definitely use her again if we need someone.”
“Madison is wonderful! She took care of everything! This was my first Rover experience as a pet owner and I am thoroughly satisfied. She helped me feel at ease and assured me that she had everything in hand. Thank you so much! We will definitely have her again! 😊❤️”
“Max did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! They were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we got home, and the house was just as clean as we left it. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would definitely trust Max to watch them again. Highly recommend!”
“Bianca took good care of our pups while we were away. She wasn’t able to stay overnight like we planned all nights but she made sure to care for our animals while away. Would recommend using for drop ins and overnights possibly.”
“Michaela was SO great with my pup! She gave me regular updates and went out of her way to make sure he was taken good care of. I came back to a spotless apartment and a happy pup!! Will 100% book Michaela again!!”
“She was really great with my dogs and left my house clean and even got my laundry and dishes started without me asking. It was my first time having a sitter stay at my place, and it worked out well.”
About: With a lifetime of dedicated experience, I offer professional, reliable care for dogs and cats. My belief centers on prioritizing your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including strict adherence to dietary needs and medication administration, which I have personal experience with one of my previous dogs. My last 3 dogs lived to be 18 or more years old. I even had a Westie that had Addisons Disease. I was told she would not live more than a couple of years, but with daily medication and lots of extra care, she lived to be 19 years old. Whether I am walking your dog or providing transportation, I remain vigilant for any signs of distress . I find great joy in discovering each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My responsible and empathetic approach ensures your companions are in excellent hands. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. NOTE: For animal sitting at your home, I will need the flexibility to tend to my own pets and my elderly mother at my home. They will be short visits and I can then return to your home. Im currently in between jobs and available any hours. Once I find a position to close out my career, ill still be available outside of my work schedule. I am open to caring for your pet in my home, depending on type and size. I also have experience with dogs that require medication.

I’ve also taken care of plenty of my friends and family’s animals there hasn’t been one animal I’ve come across who hasn’t taken to me kindly! I do work part time with a relatively Sporadic schedule! Although this is true I still have plenty of time in my day to give to your pets and I can be as flexible as i possibly can! We have a fenced in yard I love sitting and cuddling with my dogs as well as playing with them when they have the time for me. I feed supply water and bathe my dogs they are both well taken care of my me! I can also keep your house clean do chores etc. I can also feed or give your animals their meds based on schedule whatever you need I’m sure i could do it.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life! I love all of them. I have experience with feeding, bathing, nurturing, walking, all of it! I am a full time student and I work from 8:00am -5:00pm Monday-Friday! I’m free on the weekends and before and after work! I can be sure to fit all of your fur babies into my schedule !

“Lucy was a great sitter for our two dogs! We had peace of mind for the entirety of our vacation that Adelaide and Spencer were being taken care of and loved. When I need a sitter again, Lucy will be the first person I ask!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.
“Brittany was great! She kept us informed and sent pics. She was especially patient with Cici, our 5 lb. Yorkie that we came to have when my MIL passed. Cici is still very shy and timid, and Brittany went the extra mile to be patient and gentle with her. Again, Brittany was very respectful, and we appreciated her being so good with all three of our fur babies.”
“Dena is amazing, I cannot recommend her enough! She took great care of our home while we were away for a long trip and sent updates frequently so we enjoyed our vacation without worry. She took great care of our home, even brought in our mail and vacuumed so we came home to a dog-hair-free house. Our furbabies were spoiled & didn’t seem to miss us at all in her care! We will definitely be using her for any future needs, and you should too!!”
“Olivia was a great in home sitter for our 3 babies! She checked in often with pictures, and we came home to a clean home filled with happy, exercised pups! I would highly recommend Olivia and will be rebooking with her in the future. 💛”
About: Want a pet sitter that cares for your pet as much as you do? That’s me! I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Playing, walking, frisbee-ing... all the best parts of my job! I have tons of references and experience! I used to train horses professionally and pet sit on the side! Dog walking shouldn’t be a problem considering my background. I would love to take care of any and all of your pet’s needs! Big or small, I am available and ready to help. Let me know if you have any further questions and I’d be happy to answer them or just to chat and get to know me! Currently, I am a law student on summer break, so my hours are very flexible! School picks back up in September so my availability becomes less flexible for dog walking or drop in visits. Housesitting is flexible, especially if you’re around the Baylor area or Woodway. I do not offer pet services in my own home, however, for pet, sitting or housesitting on your property, I ensure that all instructions are followed, and ask for thorough instructions before taking on the job. It is vitally important for me to understand how you like your property treated as well as your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lorena on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Lorena 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 Lorena 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 Lorena 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 Lorena. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
