“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our German Shepherd and Husky during our week away. From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and clearly experienced with larger, high-energy breeds. She sent us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. She also handled our German Shepherd perfectly, even on his more stubborn “butthead” moments — with patience, confidence, and care. It was obvious she knew exactly how to read him and respond appropriately. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Jessica did a great job taking care of Cher Bear and Ben! We could tell they were happy when we came home. All of our plants looked great and Jessica is very thorough and tidy. Thank you! We look forward to using Jessica again!”
“Nikki was great! We gave her a tough task of 3 dogs to watch, 1 being a puppy but she took the time to get to know our boys and stuck to the schedule. We got lots of updates and photos which is always appreciated. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Tifaney did a wonderful job. She kept at it when my old baby wouldn't come out of his hiding place until he finally decided she is a 5 star! Great house guest and left things better than before. I will book Tifaney again.”
“Abbey is fan-freaking-tastic! We came home to happy and well taken care of ladies. Abbey sent us such great pictures of our girls and took wonderful care of our home. She went above and beyond with help around the house and the handwritten note was just *chef’s kiss* Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!!”
“Alonna was awesome! We felt at ease leaving town knowing she was caring for our pups. She checked in frequently, send pictures, and left the house clean. I would book her again in a heartbeat, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!! :)”
“Madelyn did an amazing job looking after our basset hound puppy and our cat Shira. She was very communicative and always sent us photos of our pets which we know enjoyed their time with her. She made us feel a lot better about leaving them for the weekend and made it a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have watched for Scottish terriers, Shar Pei, German Shepards, labs, and more. I have been responsible for walking, potty training, and teaching basic commands. I also used to work for a dog business that sold dog supplies. I grew up around dogs and would love to be able to take care of your pet! I currently work full-time from home. So I would be available to walk your dog in the morning and/or at night. I also do have a small yard for your dog to play outside. I also have two older children that love dogs and would love to take time to play with them! I have a home with a small back yard for your dog to play. I also have two older children that love playing with dogs and cats!
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
About: Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. Unfortunately I recently had to move out of state, leaving my family dogs where they grew up with my parents, in our family home. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old. I am always up for a pup slumber party. I have worked with foster dogs who were abused and need extra love and attention. Any specific requests for them? Let me know and I can be accommodating! I am currently working a part-time schedule with my job as a spa manager. Morning walks or weekend care will fit best within my schedule! I care for pets as if they are my younger siblings. I believe a good dog, is a tired dog! Letting them play and explore helps get extra energy out, allowing them to stay fit and healthy!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9-10. I always take care of my family dogs when they go on vacation. I’m the best dog caregiver ever. I love all types of dogs, no task to hard. I have two sweet dogs I’m on a routine always, I currently do nails but that’s as a side job since I’m still in school online and It’s whatever hours i can log in I do have a fenced yard and also there’s a dog park at my house that me and my two fur baby’s love going outside to play and they will keep your fur baby company for sure they are the sweetest.
“Parris calmed my nerves as this was our first time using Rover for a pet sitter. He was at our house for the entire time we were gone which is important to us because we don’t want our pups in their crates for long periods of time. He texted updates with pictures and videos of our pets and that was much appreciated. He cleaned up after himself and left the house clean and tidy (not all dog/house sitters are as considerate!) I plan on to call on Parris again for our pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in the client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule and make them feel secure and loved.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.
About: I have had my own dogs since 2016 and before that I volunteered at the humane society and would walk and pet sit local dogs in my neighborhood! My dog is very friendly and loves to share her toys with other pups! Just moved across the country so I am waiting for my licenses to transfer over so I have a lot of free time to care for your pets! I always take my pup to the local dog park and we have a very nice and quiet neighborhood I take her on walks through aswell!
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.

Lisa was WONDERFUL with our two big doggos while we were gone. She was very responsive and willing to send pics of the dogs multiple times while we were gone. We will definitely rebook with Lisa when we travel again! Highly recommend. Thank you for taking care of our babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lowell is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $61 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 2,930 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 , 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.
