“Emily is the Best! She took amazing care of my dog and kept us up to date each day of our vacation. I’d highly recommend Emily and will trust her with my dog whenever we go away.”
About: I don’t treat sitting as a side gig, I treat it as a responsibility. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available any day of the week and can accommodate flexible scheduling, as long as I’m not already booked. Rainy days will not stop me. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding instructions, refresh water, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and make sure the home stays tidy and secure
“Kate was outstanding. She quickly understood our directions & routines, and the dogs were very comfortable with her. She spent the night and took good care of our home while we were out of town. One of our dogs can be reactive around other dogs, but that was not an issue for Kate. Would highly recommend! She will be our first choice for dog sitting and walks moving forward.”
About: Hi! I’ve worked as a kennel technician for about a year and a half and have experience caring for dogs in a boarding/daycare environment. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning, handling high-energy dogs, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and providing a calm and safe environment for pets. I also have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets comfortable and on schedule while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand the importance of patience, consistency, cleanliness, and paying attention to behavior changes. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to provide updates/photos during visits so owners can feel reassured while away from home. I currently work part-time, so my availability may vary week to week. However, I keep my schedule updated and am happy to accept bookings that fit around my work schedule. I’m especially interested in flexible drop-ins and short-term care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to follow routines closely, pay attention to behavior changes, and provide a calm and patient environment. With my kennel/daycare experience, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels while making sure pets are cared for safely and responsibly.
About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.
“Lexie is amazing. She was super patient with our senior dogs who struggles with anxiety and nervousness around new people. She also treated our home just as kindly. We will definitely continue to rely on Lucy to sit with our pup!”
About: (Disclaimer…We are licensed, if any sitter on this platform is not they are operating illegally and there is no way to insure your pup is being cared for appropriately) CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” This isn’t a side job, this is my life! Your pup isn’t left alone. I am home all day everyday for your pup to have a happy stay while you’re away! I am passionate about Pups and want your fur baby to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! Get up at 6am potty and feed. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. We play all day. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with the others and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and the other won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. Theirs is beds for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Best case they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! All pups must have up to date rabies vaccination with proof prior to their stay. This is for the safety of your pup and others and is also required by law. As I said before this isn’t a side job we are a fully established in home boarding/daycare pup paradise! I want to stress that because I’m not just someone who thought I like dogs, let me sign up and watch them. It takes yrs of experience to understand these amazing companions and how to care for them when placed in unfamiliar environment. We want them to thrive, because so comfortable they can’t wait to come back. Enjoy there stay so they have happy memories forever. Yes we all have pups but when placing them in an environment they are not used to, I know I would only allow someone fully knowledgeable of all aspects to ever watch my pup. Happy Pups Stay with Us…look us up, your pup will thank you for it! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.
“Chelsea was wonderful house-sitting and taking care of our Winston. She was punctual and attentive and was a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend!”
“My dog Charley is psycho!! She was rescued as she sat in a corner shaking! Jenna was kind and patient with her and kept me informed of her tense situation with Charley!! I would definitely request Jenna to dogsit again. Not sure if she wants to watch Charley again!!😄”
About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.
“We truly appreciated the last minute sitting. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY A GREAT PET SITTER . I would highly recommend her with your pet needs .She was on time sent lots of updates and did an amazing job !”

“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Loretto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 79 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
