“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”

“Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up.

About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)

“Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!”

About: I’ve owned at minimum one dog my entire life. Currently don’t have a dog in my household, would love to host yours. They’ll receive many walks, a fenced in yard, and lots of love. I work from home twice a week and I’m never gone from home for more than 4-5 hours at a time each day. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to provide your dog ample attention. I have a fairly large, secluded, fenced in yard that will allow your dog to spend time outside if that’s what they desire. I regularly go on multiple walks a day and will absolutely bring your pup with. Animals are welcome on all furniture in the house

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I believe pets are more than companions—they’re family! I cared for my own dog for over 10 years, so I know firsthand the responsibility and everyday care that goes into being a great pet parent. I’m caring, attentive and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality. I’m excited to be your pet’s adventure buddy for walks and playtime, ensuring they feel loved and safe while you’re away. My goal is to provide your pets with the same affection and patience I’d want someone to give my own. As a recent graduate pursuing a full-time career in the sports and design industry, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule while I build my career. I’m currently completing contract and freelance work online, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week. This means I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets, whether they need a morning walk, a midday check-in, an afternoon adventure or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your schedule, providing consistent and dependable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big deal. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and personality, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and your space. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, follow any house guidelines you may provide and ensure doors and gates are secure. Most importantly, I believe in clear communication to build trust with both pets and their people. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving loving and attentive care in a safe environment.

We love having Brad take care of our dogs when we are away in the summer. He does everything he is supposed to and more! He checks in regularly, sends pictures, we added a dog this year and he came over to meet them beforehand and find out what would be new. He even changed our smoke alarm battery because our dog was terrified of it beeping! The dogs love him too.

We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lovington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lovington is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 1,144 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lovington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lovington. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
