About: At every party, I go find the fur baby to hang out with. I have experience training puppies (nothing formal), adopting skittish strays, and my last dog lived to be 16! There is no mess, behavior, or age I am unwilling to work with. If your animal needs space, exercise or cuddles, I am your girl. I am available all times, any day of the week. My work is mostly remote with my own laptop and I make my own hours. Each pet is unique and I will work with you to make sure I can care for them as respectfully as possible. I believe in boundaries and consent and that extends to your home and your animals.
“Sophia is a wonderful addition to our pups lives! They love her & spending time with her! They are excited when she walks in our door. She house sits with our fur children while we are traveling and is amazing! She watched our two dogs & my grandog for our travels. The house was well cared for as were our babies! Sophia is caring,upbeat,responsive and knowledgeable. Our home was left in top shape & so were the furs. We have already booked 2 more stays for the summer. I highly recommend Sophia!! She is truly exceptional!”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our 8 1/2 year old Cane Cross, Luna Belle. She took Luna Belle on walks, watched tv with her and made sure she was fed on time and got a few treats during the day. Christina kept us informed and provided a few pics while we were gone. We really wanted a sitter who would spend quality time with our pu - and that's what Christina did. She will be Luna Belle's go to sitter in the future. Many thanks.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, and for the last 7 years I've also owned and raised my own Cane Corso, so I'm very comfortable with large and strong breeds. I know how important routine, exercise, and patience are for a dog's wellbeing, and I treat every pet in my care like my own. I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog attention and exercise. I'm generally available for walks/boarding/drop-ins on weekdays and weekends (at any time), and I try to keep a consistent routine so your pup feels comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a Cane Corso of my own who I've raised for 7 years, so I'm very experienced with large, strong breeds and know how to read their body language and keep introductions calm and safe. I always keep a close eye on pets in my care, stick to a consistent routine for feeding and walks, and make sure the environment is calm and secure so every dog feels comfortable and safe with me.
“Andru was amazing. He took fantastic care of my animals and kept me updated with pictures while we were away. Andru was clear in his communication, and seemed to genuinely love my animals, would definitely recommend and would love Andru to look after my animals again”
“My dog loves Simone. She had a great time and is well cared for. My house is also in great condition when I return home. I couldn't be happier and look forward to traveling stress free whenever I need to.”
“This is my second time booking Sarah for house/dog sitting, and she’s great! This time I asked on pretty short notice, and she was available and accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely book again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. I truly prefer them to people and can’t wait to love on yours! After a life time of pet care, very little surprises me. I work with incredible flexibility, and hope at some point to make loving on other people’s fur babies by full time income. Can’t wait to meet your babies! I have a fenced in yard and two doggies to help make your dog feel welcome. I’m also able to crate your animals if necessary.
“Laura was so wonderful with Boca ? my flights were delayed & she even stayed for a late night walk to make sure Boca would be good until I got home !! Thank you Laura for taking the best care of Boca !!!!”

“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”
“Abby was fantastic! She came and met my pups prior to house sitting just to get acquainted. My aggressive pup absolutely loved her and she text me updates throughout the visit letting me know when she came to the house and when she left after her stay! Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”
“Aly was great with the animals. They all seemed to love her pretty quickly, I got tons of photos of them, and she took very detailed notes of when they went out, ate, etc. I asked her to sit very last minute and am happy she was available!”
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lowell
This was the second time we've trusted Londyn to care for our dog, Brontë, and our cat, Tig, and once again she exceeded all of our expectations. We returned home to two very happy, relaxed pets and a house that was spotless and just as we left it. Brontë can be nervous around people outside the family, but she absolutely loves Londyn, which gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. It's clear that she genuinely cares for animals and treats them as if they were her own. Londyn is reliable, caring, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a first-class pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future.
We felt completely confident that our Daphne was well looked after while we were away. Kelli was responsive to messages, kept us updated, and clearly took great care of her. We also really appreciated that she left the house just as she found it. We would absolutely book with her again!
Lindsay is so great! We booked last minute and she was able to do a meet and greet with my dogs the night before. She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed with how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend Lindsay and plan to book her again in the near future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lowell on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lowell. 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 Lowell 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 Lowell 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 Lowell 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 Lowell. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
