“Our girls loved Lisa! She cared well for our doxies and loved on them!! I’m not sure they were glad we came home!! 😂 Lisa sent multiple pictures daily and stayed until our delayed flight landed. The house was exactly as we left it and I appreciate that!! Thank you so very much!!”
“My dog was having some unexpected health issues as I was preparing to leave to work a camp. Even with plans a year in the making, it was hard to not want to cancel everything and stay with her. Abigail went above and beyond while watching Alda, and it made it so much easier to be away. There were regular check-ins, good questions, and great care. I highly recommend Abigail as someone you can trust with your pets.”
“Cory was awesome: very communicative and consistent in updates, he let us know whenever he would need to leave the house for a little while (which was also communicated ahead of time), and kept our place clean. Very capable and confident, which is especially needed for one of our dogs who tends to be more reactive. I’m so grateful we went with him and we genuinely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“Alex stayed at our house for the weekend and watched our two dogs including one that is quite reactive and anxious and she was great with them! We will continue to use her in the future!”
“We are so happy we found Shea to take care of our fur babies! She has a very calm and caring presence which made us very comfortable. Our 2 pups clearly enjoyed her company, she was great about giving updates, asking questions when I forgot to tell her some instructions and sent us pictures too. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you Shea!!”
“Sammie is everything anyone could possibly want in a dogsitter. She is highly experienced, dedicated, flexible, clearly loves and knows a lot about animals. She is also a lovely person to work with.”
“Autumn was incredible! She had 5 star communication and provided an incredible experience for our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved all kinds of animals—chickens, goats, dogs—you name it! (Yes, I’ve had all of them!) My family currently has three cats: Harry, Thomas, and Luke. We recently said goodbye to our pug, Cooper, after 15 wonderful years. Two Christmases ago, I brought home our current dog, Kyah, for my family. She’s a Great Pyrenees-Anatolian Shepherd mix and my favorite napping partner! I also taught her a few fun tricks—she can turn around, roll over, speak, and, of course, give a good shake. I have experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I’d love the chance to care for yours! I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in nursing. My class schedule takes place in the afternoon, and I have no other priorities besides classes and studying. I'm able to go for as many walks as your dog would like, and give endless scratches! They will never be left alone for more than 3.5 hours (at the most). I'm comfortable giving any medications that are needed. I sit for my Aunts two german shepherds who both receive oral medication, as well one of them receiving a specialized raw diet.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I grew up with a cat and later cared for our family German Shorthaired Pointer for many years. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll follow your care instructions carefully to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe. I’ll treat your pet like family and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work primarily from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I occasionally work from the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but my schedule is flexible. Our home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly. My children (ages 10 and 12) are kind, respectful, and love animals. Any interaction they have with your pet is always supervised by me. We offer boarding on weekends and weekday stays of up to one week (Friday through Friday), ensuring your pet receives consistent care, attention, and lots of love. I live in a clean, cozy townhouse with plenty of nearby walking paths and open green spaces for walks, exercise, and fresh air. To ensure every pet has enough room to relax and feel comfortable, I only accept small to medium-sized dogs up to 40 pounds for boarding. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, so they feel safe, happy, and like at home.
“Justin has great communication and asked good questions to take the best care of Harrison. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in Justin's care. Will definitely book with him again.”
“Kelsey took great care of our dog, Mochi. She asked good questions at our meet and greet. We received a daily photo and update from Kelsey while we were away. Mostly importantly, Mochi was very comfortable with her and we trust our dog's intuition very much :)”
“Alexa was amazing and took great care of our puppy and our home while we were out of state for 7 days. Even during a tough night when our puppy was up every 1–2 hours, she stayed positive and reassuring. She made us feel completely comfortable the entire time we were away, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our puppy again.”
“McKenna is such a great sitter! She’s reliable and trustworthy, and takes such great care of my girls while I am away. I’ve already booked her for more future housesitting visits. 💕🐾”
“My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.”
About: I am very intuitive, caring and protective when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. I have been an animal lover for my whole life, and I will Treat your animals with the same care that I give my own three! (1 dog, 2 cats at home!) I have worked part time with a flexible schedule with kids and also I work as a writer and artist! My schedule is very flexible. I am very clean, organized, and intuitive about both others’ pets and my own pets! I am respectful of others’ homes with the understanding that this is your sacred space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Loretto on Rover is $27.75 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 3,233 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Loretto. 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 Loretto 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 Loretto 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 Loretto 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 Loretto. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
