“Naya did a wonderful job taking care of our two rambunctious boys while we were out of the country for a week. She sent regular updates and pictures while we were gone and was very responsive when we reached out. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house - nothing better than that!!”
“Highly recommend Olivia and we will definitely use her again!! So caring and really spent some quality time with our dog. He is older and she gave him so much attention and really cared for him. Sent lots of photos and videos. Very communicative… and just such a sweet young lady.”
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She took the time to let Sugar warm up at her own pace, and by the end of the sitting, our girl was completely cuddled up with her. We received gorgeous picture updates and fantastic communication throughout, so we never had a single worry. Jordan was also incredibly respectful of our home. We will definitely try to book her every time we need care for our baby!”
“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.”
“This was our second time booking with Kasianay and it won't be our last! Our dog, Mable, loves spending time with her. She is an excellent house sitter and did a fantastic job communicating with us while we were away.”
“Rachel was fantastic! We went out of town for a week and she made sure that all 5 of our fur babies were safe and well taken care of. She checked in with us frequently and sent us pictures of all of our babies. We also came home to a clean house, which was a great way to end a vacation. We highly recommend her, it’s great knowing your kids are with someone who enjoys our pets as if they were her own.”
“This was my first time having a pet sitter and Heather made the process so seamless. She provided constant updates and photos of my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”
“Sydney was great! It was my dog’s first pet sitter experience and she was patient with him getting used to her, and had good communication throughout the day. He looked like he was having a great time with her. We definitely will book with her again in the future!”
“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. ❤️”
“Lanae was beyond kind to our two mini dachshunds. They have anxiety and are less than a year old, so they can be a hand full. She also stayed at our house and left everything as is. She was communicative and sent pictures often. Our two little dogs were sad to see her go. 💜 There was a small billing issue with Rover and she was quick to call and work it out. I’d 100% recommend Lanae. I could not say enough good things about her!”
“Coleman is a phenomenal human. I was incredibly comfortable leaving my pets in their care. Very personable and a comfortable person to be around. I wasn't even concerned with checking in, Coleman has a very trusting energy. I got plenty of updates and everything was taken care and then some! Coleman is very helpful and capable of any task thrown their way, Thank you for being so awesome Coleman!”
“Cannot tell you how happy we were with Sherry! Her communication, picture history of the babies and overall performance were better than a 10, I would highly suggest her services. We will be going away again soon and be asking for her services again. Thank you, Sherry for taking such care of all our babies.”
About: I have cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a very calm individual with emergency training and you can guarantee your pet will be in good hands. I have owned a pet in all stages of my life and believe their presence makes this world a little easier. The owning and watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.
About: I’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, but my family has always trusted me as the official pet sitter due to my patience, responsibility, and compassion. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and my genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, I care for every animal the way I’d want someone to care for my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a part time CNA, so my schedule is completely up to me! I love being in healthcare, but my real passion is pets! My schedule is always open unless I say otherwise! (I will always inform a client in advance about my plans) I provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. I live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) My neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’ll care for your home and your pets with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”
“Gabby is fantastic!!!! She sent multiple photos and videos every single day! She was so professional and sweet! Let our home looking beautiful! My pup is happy healthy and looks like he had a blast! Thank you!!”
“Canija did a wonderful job taking care of our furbabies. We felt very comfortable with her staying with them and keeping them from feeling stressed while we were away.”
“Ashley was such a help when we had to change our Labor Day plans at the last minute! Our pups loved snuggling with her and she even managed medications and walking the two of them.”

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!
She was wonderful! Accommodated my last minute request and was pleasant! Great communication and kept the schedule I had for the dogs, even helping to water plants and feed fish! She loved the dogs, sent pics and made sure to keep me updated, adding to my peace of mind! Will use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lovejoy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lovejoy on Rover is $42.18 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 3,215 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.
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 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 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 Lovejoy. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
