“Brooke just completed in-house sitting for our mixed pittie girl, Zoey. Zoey LOVES her! Brooke kept us apprised with updates and pictures and it is clear that Zoey has bonded with Brooke. Brooke is loving, calm, diligent, and proactive in communications. We lucked out finding her and I give her the highest rating possible!”
“Perry is an absolute gem! She's so great with my dogs and understands that fur-parents can be nervous leaving their babies. She's timely and very communicative and I would recommend her whole-heartedly! We love Perry!”
About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
About: Hi, I'm Alyssa! Dogs and cats have been part of my life for decades, and caring for them is my passion. I've pet sat for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to cuddly cats, and I treat every pet like my own. Expect walks, snuggles, playtime, and regular updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home for much of the day. That means I can stick to your pet's normal feeding, walk, and play schedule, give them plenty of attention, and be available for last-minute or extended stays. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches with me. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with their own bed, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I follow your pet's feeding, medication, and bedtime routines so they stay comfortable and feel at ease. In your home, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible, with feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles on their usual schedule. I also bring in mail, tidy up after your pet, and send you photo and text updates throughout the stay.

About: I've had dogs (and cats) all my life and love their company. I have always been friends and family's go to person to take care of their dogs. I also have been to several dog training classes so I have a good understanding of dogs and what I'm doing in general. I'm good at running around with high energy dogs and sitting back and chilling with low energy dogs as well. I currently have a lab/pug mix who I love like crazy so I completely understand how important your dog is to you. I am currently a student and available all week and have a very flexible schedule. I take dogs on several long walks every day of the week. My yard isn’t fenced but I have a friendly dog who gets several long walks a day. I’m in a quiet neighborhood and right by a lot of Reston trails that dogs love. My dog is a friendly 10 year old pup who gets along with dogs and cats alike.
“Amazing job taking care of my sweet dog. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Carlos is thoughtful and considerate and does a terrific job of coordinating and taking excellent care of our fur babies.”
About: As someone who works remotely, I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to be available whenever your pup needs attention, whether it's for a walk in the park, some playtime, or just a reassuring presence while you're away. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the love and care they deserve during our time together. I’m very flexible! I work remotely so I can care for your pet at any time, anywhere. Since I am home all day I have plenty of time to tend for your pet!

That means lots of love, attention, and sticking to their routine as much as possible. I'm careful to follow feeding instructions, provide plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, and I'm quick to contact you or a vet if I notice anything concerning.

“Sher provided great feedback and communication. We have never had someone stay over and she made sure to ask lots of questions and check in with me on how things were going. I would 100% recommend for future sittings.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lowes Island
Evelyn was absolutely wonderful! 🥹🤍 This was my first time having someone stay in my home to take care of Nacho, and Evelyn made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and thoughtful, and I felt so comfortable knowing Nacho was in good hands. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your fur baby and your home, but Evelyn truly put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her help and happily booked with her again for another upcoming weekend. Highly recommend!💕
Ceone was amazing with my dog and cat while I was out of town! She sent photos and videos daily to update me on how they were doing. She took my dog on walks and to the dog park for plenty of exercise and play time. She allowed them to sleep with her as well! She even cleaned up a bit before leaving which was so kind of her! I definitely recommend her!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of my cat, Mya, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, professional, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about animals. The biggest compliment I can give is that my cat, who is normally very shy and doesn’t trust many people, became comfortable with Jennifer. That meant a lot to me and showed how patient and caring she was. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lowes Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lowes Island is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $122 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.

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 Lowes Island 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 Lowes Island 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 Lowes Island 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 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.

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.
