“Tereasa was SO GREAT with Henry! She arranged to meet with us in advance to make sure he was comfortable and kept me updated with pictures throughout our trip. I know that Henry was well cared for by his calmness when we got home. Normally if left alone he flips out as soon as I open the door. His demeanor when we arrived was as if we never left! He was in such great hands that I don’t even know if he noticed we were gone. This was my first time having someone housesit and I’m so glad we did. I would 100% recommend Tereasa to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“Jen was amazing!! I think our Stats is depressed that she is gone lol. I would love to have Jen back the next time we go out of town. She sent pictures and videos which were so much fun to see!! I soooo appreciate her!!!”
“Emma was great! She’s a good communicator and pays close attention to detail. Most importantly, my dogs loved her! I felt so comfortable leaving my babies in her care and when I came back they were so relaxed and happy! I will absolutely be contacting her in the future to care for my dogs!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”
“This was the first time Tammy sat for us. She did a great job spoiling our girl Glady's! Tammy sent so many pictures and videos, we felt very comfortable and well informed. upon returning home, everything looked amazing! Clean and tidy, which was truly appreciated. We take Glady's with us on most trips, but when we can't, we have a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Tammy.”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“We loved Corinne! She was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my pets and my home while I was away. She was extremely attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural connection with animals — my dogs and cat adored her from the start. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a spotless house and happy, relaxed pets. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“100% recommend Kathleen!! She treats your pet like her own. Very respectful of our home. Took our dog on a walk every night & fed our fish. It’s hard for us to take a vaca & leave our baby at home, Kathleen made the process easy.”
“Very pleased with Lacey's care of our home and dogs! They loved her to pieces and she was very comfortable with them even though they are big, strong , scary-looking rescue pitties! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with cats and have spent the last several years loving my own Aussiedoodle, Scout. We recently lost our cat, and I truly miss those kitty cuddles, so I’d be thrilled to spend time caring for yours. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m active, dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I’ll also send plenty of photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet check-ins. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your furry family member happy, exercised, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I believe in earning both your trust and your pet’s trust through patience, consistency, and kindness. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, and I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect someone to show mine.
“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lotus. 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 Lotus 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 Lotus 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 Lotus 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 Lotus. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
