“Rachel was amazing for her first stay with Oscar (dog) & Mimi (cat). Excellent, consistent communication and very caring service for my babies. Oscar is a shy little boy, and she took lots of time allowing him to feel comfortable and showed great patience and understanding. Left the house clean and well cared for, I would welcome her back anytime to care for my pets!”
“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”
“Sarah did a great job with Bernie. He's a rescue and still a little skittish around people he doesn't know, but he warmed up to Sarah in no time. She did a great job with him.”
“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”
“Kendra is great! She took great care of my young puppy while I was out of town. On time, good communication about how everything was going, fun photos and video. It was relatively last minute, and she was still able to make it work.”
“Katherine did a great job with her overnight stay with our cats and dog. They were well cared for and we were in communication with her and she sent pictures daily.”
About: I have been a dog owner for as early as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have always loved taking care of them. I am the proud owner of a Norwegian Elkhound named Luna. Luna gets along well with others and I take her to the dog park frequently. I am a very outdoorsy person and love taking my dog for walks and spending time with her!I live here in Seattle with my boyfriend who is also a very outdoorsy person. We love hiking together as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thank you for your consideration😊 I currently work as a Dental Assistant but only 3 days a week. The days alternate weekly so depending on the week I will have different availability. I will however always have Saturdays and Sundays off! I live in a one bedroom apartment in the Udistrict so I mainly walk my dog from my apartment to the park that is two blocks away. Will go multiple time a day.
“Stacey takes great care of our dogs. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or house sitting, I never have to worry about them. They always get plenty of pets, play time, and snuggles.”
“Megan is absolutely fantastic! This is our 3rd time having Meg come over and stay and we couldn’t be happier with the care our fur babies received! Thank you for loving our Benji and Simba so much!”
“Alexandra did a great job with our girl. She responded quickly to questions, provided lots of updates, and sent me a lot of great pictures. The house looked spotless when we returned too. We would happily book her again”
“Jen and her daughter were so so great. She completely removed the guilt I had for leaving my two dogs. I have two vizslas and they have a very very high ‘affection needs’. every picture jen sent me was of 2 blissfully happy girls.”
“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”
“Jennifer was great to work with from the start! Super friendly, professional, affectionate towards our pets from the beginning. She spent as much time as she was able with our pets, rather than just quick check ins. We could easily trust that they were being taken care of while we were away! She was very respectful of our things and left the house clean when she was done. We will definitely reach out to Jennifer the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Cass is someone who loves your pet like they are her own. She sent so many pictures and was sure to communicate daily. She is trustworthy in your home and with the most important members of your family. Thor and Loki can’t wait to have her back.”
“Sam was excellent with our one year old puppy Wallace! She provided consistent updates throughout our trip and was very attentive to his needs. It made our trip so much easier knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Sam and will be rebooking her in the future.”

About: I have a decade of animal care experience, both personally with my own pets and professionally at nature centers, shelters, veterinary offices, and zoos. I have my own special needs cat, so I am deeply passionate about fear free pet care; I meet your animal where they are at and help them feel safe and comfortable while you are away! I provide care through all stages of life, can administer medication, create enrichment, and provide basic training. Through my years of experience fostering, obtaining my degree in Animal Ecology, and working hands on with over 80 different species, you can rest easy knowing your companion is in good hands. I have lots of availability, as caring for animals is my full-time job! For dog walking, I typically start in the morning around 8, and sometimes do evening walks as late as 9 or 10. These hours are flexible, so don’t be afraid to ask! I am not equipped to house pets in my apartment, but I am able to care for your companion(s) in the comfort of their own domain! I have had many animals in my care, both domestic and exotic. It is incredibly important to me that your pet feels safe, so I always let them guide our interactions. I pay close attention to body language and context clues to ensure their boundaries are upheld. I love to provide photo updates with each visit, and a brief description of how they are doing. All dogs will stay leashed outdoors unless in a secure and private fenced in yard. All cats will stay indoors unless harness trained or you have a catio. Safety first!
“Haylee was awesome! She arrived on time and cared for our two dogs overnight. Max is a senior dog and needs patience and guidance at times. Both pups were happy when we got home and so were we!!”
“Adrianne watched my high maintenance Kit for a long weekend and he absolutely loved her! We received updates and photos often. I can tell he was very loved when we were gone and it was so nice not worrying about him all weekend! Will have Adrianna stay with Kit again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lovington
Yasmin is the best! We’d never used Rover before and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was very responsive in our initial planning and prompt for our appointment. It’s evident that she understands dogs and ours took to her right away. She took great care of them while we were away at a family wedding and we recommend her highly! She is also super great at giving live updates:) Thanks Yasmin🩷
Angela did such a great job watching my three pups over the Fourth of July weekend! My weimareiner has anxiety, and Angela pulled out all the tricks to keep her calm with picture updates. She was also kind enough to bring our packages in, (they weren’t small..) and she cleaned up the house before our arrival back. Her attention to detail in the home, communication skills, and seeing how my three pups warmed up to her are all the reasons we would recommend her to anyone else. We will definitely be booking with Angela in the future!
Nadine was great! She stayed with our dogs while we were away and made sure they felt comfortable. She sent updates every couple of hours, including pictures, so we could see how relaxed and happy they were. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lovington is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $133 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 611 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lovington. 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 Lovington 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 Lovington 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 Lovington 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.
