“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.”
“Kim is amazing. We are so glad we found someone that we feel so comfortable with taking care of our fur babies. Not only did she take very good care of both of our pups, she also took great care of our home while we were gone. Kim is very kind, professional and you can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. We are excited to have her take care of our dogs in the future!”
About: I’ve been asked by many coworkers and friends to pet sit for them! I just thru hiked the AT this summer, so I’m willing to walk as far as your dog wants to. I grew up with an energetic German Shepherd named Comet. I am the most interested in pet sitting in the pet’s home environment. I just finished the Appalachian Trail this September, so I currently have a flexible schedule while job hunting. I can give pets exercise 2-3 times a day. In previous times I’ve pet sit, I’ve adapted to the pet’s normal routine to make them more comfortable while separated from their family! I try to read the needs of the pet and attend to that.
“Makenzie was wonderful! She is so sweet and took the best care of our cat and dog. She was super responsive and also took great care of our home. I definitely recommend her for excellent care of your fur babies!”
“Did an excellent job taking care of our pet family while we were away for a few days. Left our home in perfect condition. Took time to come out an visit before the stay, and sent plenty of updates and photos during our time away. Highly recommended.”
“We were lucky to find Grace to look after our 2 x dogs and cat! She was communicative, responsible and really thoughtful. For the first time ever, our pets weren't stressed when we arrived home after being away for 10 days. They were calm and happy - a testament to Grace's care and attention. Thank you Grace!”
“Always amazing! One of my dogs has an ear infection and Alethea kept her on her medication schedule, didnt miss a beat. Fyi, my dog does not make that easy. Alethea handles everything!”
“Ajax did a great job with our Great Dane! He assured me that everything was under control while we were out and checked in with us periodically. We will definitely look to use his services again in the future!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog. She regularly sent us pictures and updates. We will definitely request Elizabeth again as a pet sitter.”

I will care for you dogs or cats like they were my own I have a very flexible schedule and would be able to come to your home at most anytime of the day or week to help. Your pets health and safety is a priority. If you are away my goal is for you to enjoy that time and not worry about your pets at home.
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week, and I can often adjust those days to be home even more with your pet. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also be able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
“Grace was AMAZING as our house sitter- she provided regular updates with photos, cared for our plants, brought in the mail, kept the house in great shape- honestly, everything you could ask for and beyond. She even left some adorable polaroid photos of the pets for us! I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a pet sitter and I know our furry family members are looking forward to the next time they get to see her!”
“Douglas was such a great dog sitter! Being new to the area and looking for a new dog sitter I decided to try rover for the first time and was not disappointed. He treated my dog like his own and sent tons of photo updates so I never had to worry! He even went above and beyond and watched my dog for an extra half day when my flight got delayed so he wouldn’t have to be home alone. Definitely the best dog sitter we’ve had!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lorraine
Laura was the best pet/house sitter we’ve ever had !! (and weve had a lot over the years )We travel all the time with our jobs and leisure too - and when we can’t take our dog i have anxiety about leaving her .! Laura was amazing - she lovingly connected with our Aussie and our cat - sent photos and updates daily, the packages were brought in , and house was cleaner than we left it . You can tell she’s not just doing this for income she genuinely loves animals and I hope we can find availabilty for her again !!! Thank you Laura !!!!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lorraine is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $62 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
