“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, communicative, and kind. She took amazing care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We hired Laura to take care of our dogs while we enjoyed a vacation. We felt so great knowing she was there with our beloved fur babies! Came home to happy pups along with no accidents to clean up! Laura made sure to reach out throughout our time away with pictures of happy dogs! We will definitely be hiring her again for any future trips we take. Thanks again, Laura!”
“Eaten is an absolutely awesome sitter! I can't recommend her enough. She was great with Maggie and took great care of her. I got updates and everything went so smoothly. I will absolutely have Caten hang out with Maggie again.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“Maria was AWESOME! She checked in periodically, the dogs felt comfortable around her, she exceeded my expectations. It really felt like our pets did not go without. Their water canister was completely full when we returned, she was able to take the dogs on walks, she tidied up the litter box! Will rebook again and again. Thank you so much, Maria!”
“Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since early childhood, and I now own a cat! I have taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors needing daily medicine. I have been trusted with the pets of my friends, family members, and family friends. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as well! I have such a big heart for dogs of all ages and breeds! I am currently a full time cosmetology student on campus 8 hours a day Monday-Friday. Unfortunately, I am very limited on time during the weekdays, however, I am super flexible Saturdays and Sundays! I am unable to watch pets in my home due to my lease. However, I am willing to travel to yours! If special instructions are needed for your pet, please let me know! I can cage/kennel the dog(s) if needed!
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life, and I’m definitely the person who will ignore the humans in the room and go straight for the dog. I’m responsible, attentive and very comfortable stepping into a pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, sticking to their feeding schedule or just providing some excellent couch companionship. Every pet has their own personality, quirks and very specific opinions about how things should be done, and I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance when their people are away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated so you know everything is going well and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while you’re gone. Fair warning: I’ll probably give them a ridiculous nickname by day two. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can work around your pet’s routine instead of expecting them to work around mine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime and bedtime can all stay as close to normal as possible. I’m also happy to spend plenty of time at the house, so your pet won’t just get a quick hello, a bowl of food and a disappearing act. If they’re used to having someone around, they’ll have me around. When I’m staying in your home, my goal is pretty simple: keep your pet happy, safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to the little things and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. And you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. I’m happy to send pictures and updates along the way. I know you’re trusting me with your pet and your home, and I take both seriously. Even if your dog and I are having very unserious conversations while you’re gone.
About: I’m a college student who’s majoring in poultry science. has all ways grown up with dogs as well as cats. I’m looking to dog sit and provide great care to someone else’s pet. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs. I’ve also taken care of multiple cats. For taking care of dogs I like to take them on long walks,play fetch, give them lots of attention and make sure they aren’t lonely. For cats to like to make sure they get attention to if they want it and play with them if they like to play. I also like to send updates of how the pets are doing as well as pictures. With me your pets and home will always be safe and cared for.
“Tuna loved hanging out with Tess while we were out of town. She sent tons of pics and was super communicative. We will for sure be requesting her next time we travel!”
“Erika is phenomenal! We feel so lucky that she was willing to house sit & watch our 3 dogs. Between their struggle with potty training and their nervous personalities, they can be a handful - but Erika took it all in stride. She has a very calming personality and our dogs took to her much more quickly than they usually do with strangers. She kept us well updated with photos and notes, and left our house in excellent condition. We would absolutely recommend Erika’s services to others and hope she is available to watch our dogs again in the future.”
About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!
“Amber took such great care of our fur babies and our home while we were away! I would absolutely hire her again in the future and definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

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!

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.
<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 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 , 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.
