“Tiana was the absolute best. This was our first time hiring a house sitter for our three babies and Tiana put at us ease during our vacation. She was the best at and our dogs enjoyed her like family. Will look forward to booking her again very soon. ❤️”

“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”

“Oh my goodness!!! I don’t have enough nice words to express my gratitude for Heather!! First of all she saved our vacay when my regular sitter bailed at the last minute, then she provided multiple daily updates on how things were going. I have senior (doggie )ladies but I am very particular about their care. She made sure she got it all right. Just fantastic!! When we arrived back home, I think the girls were looking for her-they were not overly excited, so to me that proved they were super comfy with her. She has a very calm and beatifiul spirit and the animals pick up on that. I was very nervous about using a service but we picked the right sitter! We have a number of rescue pups and because I am very particular about their care, we don’t get a chance to vacation much-and when we do we worry about their care when I’m gone, not this time!! My Pups love her, she tidied the house ( we had a packing frenzy before we left) and even fed the visiting deer, she went above and beyond.I WILL BE SURE TO CALL UPON HER AGAIN❤️ SHE IS SUPERB in fact she may become our go to sitter if she’ll accept, 😆 this experience was better than I could have anticipated. Thank you Heather and Rover!!!”

About: I've taken obedience classes with my dog. I've been a pet owner/lover for 45+ years. I'm older and am going to drink coffee and play with your pups/cats in your home. Watch TV and snooze. No more. No less. Taking care of your pets so you can go do your thing is my full-time job. I believe that just like people love their children, we pet owners love our fur babies. In order to enjoy our time away, we need peace of mind knowing oir fur babies are loved and cared for. That they are peacefully at home loving life! I will care for your pets in your home just like you tell me to. It is important that we keep normalcy and schedule in your absence.
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”


“Sarah was perfect! It was a last minute booking and she was a godsend. She came to meet me and my dog Tegan before the trip, communicated and sent pictures and it was such a relief for me! She took amazing care of my dog, gave her her medicine and sent me updates. I will definitely use her again and again!”

About: I'm all about consistency, structured, and love. You and your baby(ies) will feel secure with me. I'm very detailed and organized. I grew up in an old school 24hr home daycare for children. I feel fur babies should get that same attention, devotion and love. I also provide transportation for humans. 🐶 Pups who enjoy car rides travel with me for ride. For my pup parents, I also provide transportation to the airport for an additional fee. Pup parents are welcome to park their vehicle in my driveway. I create a place of peace for my fur babies. My home has a calm environment. Older pups who don't care to be bothered with other pups are separated. I make sure personal space is respected.

About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a huge animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re family. What sets me apart as a sitter is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I strive to provide loving, dependable care while keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities and believe patience, consistency, and attentiveness are key to great pet care. I also believe communication is important, so I make sure pet parents feel reassured by sending updates, photos, and messages while they’re away from their furry family member. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and following any special instructions to help maintain their routine and comfort. I currently work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evenings, weekends, and flexible pet care arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work Monday–Friday during the day, so I’m available for evening care, drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or welcoming them into mine for boarding, I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they feel happy and cared for. I enjoy being active, spending time with animals, and making sure every pet feels secure and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention while following any special instructions. For boarding in my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have two dogs at home, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents feel reassured while away.
About: I am the one who all of my friends ask to pet sit! Because I love them and spoil them like they are my own!!!!! I work from home so i would like to add some dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule -the house needs some furry friends. I prefer to care for the pet in their environment-its less stressful for the pet. Once the pet is familiar with me then maybe that would change. I do live in an apt and do not have a yard. However there is a pet play area in our complex and plenty of walking paths.
About: Experience with small, medium and large dogs and experience with cats I love animals of all kinds I have always had a dog in my life in each chapter of my life. I currently work from home full time. I am not glued to my laptop all day and I enjoy spending time with my Yorkie currently 1. We love doing tricks and learning to get treats and playing with her favorite teddy bear toy. I can leave for quick walks or feeds if needed. My passion is helping others! I have a fenced yard and a friendly Yorkie to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I love cuddles 🥰 and kisses 😘 I allow pets inside my home and to run freely in the backyard.

About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
About: I've been petting sitting/walking for at least the last 5 years. I have a lot of experience walking big dogs and giving medicine. I have also assisted in training here and there with some dogs. Im currently working on call, so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend walking dogs or pet sitting just for the day or even multiple days. Brutus is a shy fiv cat he typically doesn't like to be around other animals at first. When I visit a home I love to spend time playing with the pets and giving them a treat or two to build trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lovejoy
I cannot even describe how happy my husband and I are that we found Samantha. I am a paranoid and stressed out pet mother. We also have quite a few animals and species to take care of. Our house can be quite intimidating. Samantha was nothing but excited the entire time. We were gone Saturday to Saturday. She was communicative the entire time, sweet with my animals, and the perfect person to let me enjoy my vacation without stress. I thought I'd be living on my phone to watch the cameras but I did not. I was stress free and knew my animals were in good care. During her care, my cats broke a lamp and ate some of her food. Theyre quite crazy. My dogs acted a fool. She handled it all professionally and with grace. My rooster would not let her approach his hens and she found a work around for their care. I would def recommend her! She treats your pets as her own. ❤️

She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in every way. She brushed my dog, made sure he was happy and well cared for, and even took great care of my ferret too. On top of that, she cleaned my house without me ever asking, which completely blew me away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets and home were in such good hands. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!

Samantha loved on our girl like her own. Not only was our pup well taken care of, but our house looks wonderful, too! She is thoughtful with updates and pictures and it’s obvious our girl was comfortable with Samantha. They even weathered a storm together! Thank you, Samantha for going above and beyond. We will definitely ask for you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lovejoy is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $41 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,157 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lovejoy. 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 Lovejoy 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 Lovejoy 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lovejoy 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.
