Mark did a great job taking care of my cats. He accepted my last minute request and then kindly adapted to the changes I made after he started. He sent me daily updates and photos, and even swept up the cat litter on the mat around the litter box on his last visit. I definitely plan on becoming a repeat client.

We had a great experience with Veronica, who helped us with cat and house sitting. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and given attention while we were away. We also appreciated that the house was well-kept when we returned. Communication was smooth throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Veronica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we look forward to reaching out to her again in the future!

Alethea was INCREDIBLE. Her communication, her thoughtfulness, THE PHOTOS. We’re turning one of them into a canvas print, because it’s the best photo of our two pups we’ve ever gotten. It was clear our girls were so well cared for, and it made our vacation so much more relaxing. Absolutely thrilled to have hired her.

I can’t say enough great things about our McKenzie! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were loved and cared for gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats were so well taken care of, and it was obvious they were treated like family. We received updates, photos, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s such a relief to come home to pets that are relaxed and a house that feels like everything was handled with care. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend her! We will absolutely be using her again and again!

Mikella was great with my pup. He was really apprehensive about a new sitter in the beginning but within a short time she had him comfortable and snoozing in her lap. She sent multiple pics throughout her short stay with Potato, made me feel like he was well taken care of. Definitely would book with her again!

Helena was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog overnight. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time we were gone, showing just how relaxed and happy our dog was in her care. When he whined about sleeping in his crate, she kindly let him share the bed with her (with our approval, of course!). He even seemed disappointed when we came home 😉. We cannot recommend Helena more highly!!

Catherine was fantastic. From the day I left, I had zero worries, she sent updates and photos on her own, I never had to ask what was going on. Followed every instruction exactly: medications, supplements, kept his water topped off, walked him the full distance I asked for and then some. You could tell she wasn’t just checking boxes. She noticed the small stuff, kept his routine consistent, and it showed. I came home to a calm, happy dog, which honestly says more than any review can. If you need someone who’s reliable, communicates well, and actually treats your dog like their own, book Catherine. I already know I’m using her again.

Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.

Allison is awesome. The fist time she came over I was showing her around the house and my shy dog walked right over to her and sat down next to her. The last time she stayed at the house my flight was canceled and I had to fly out the next day. I was letting her know what was happening and she was the one that asked if I needed her to stay another night. My dogs love her and she loves them. And the house is always in good order upon my return.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lorraine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lorraine on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lorraine. 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 Lorraine 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 Lorraine 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 Lorraine 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 Lorraine. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
