“Vinnie is the best! He communicates quickly and clearly, but beyond that he helps our anxious dog relax while he's caring for her. We so value his help and recommend him to anyone.”
“Almendra was wonderful. Bernese Mountain dog- Wilbur- and Samoyed puppy-Charlotte loved her. She was communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure the pups were well taken care of!”
“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”
“Ken took such good care of our boy Hamlet. He’s just such a natural around dogs and is funny to boot. Very jovial and attentive with a great sense of humor. He gave us updates for each time he checked in Hamlet on each day with a report on meal time, potty breaks, and play time. Also sent cute pictures! Ken clearly loves dogs and shows that in his care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”
“Sitter extraordinaire! Look no further….Brooke is a gold 5 star caregiver! I can be a serious worrier when it comes to the caregiving of our almost 12 year old cockapoo, Rosie. With Brooke, I put those worries to rest. I knew immediately that Rosie would be loved, enjoyed and cared for as if Brooke had known her forever——-Rosie knew too! She gave Rosie her complete attention, wanted to know the details of her everyday life to make it easier for her. I knew I could relax leaving Rosie in her care to enjoy an almost 2 week vacation with my children and grandchildren. Brooke sends photos and sweet updates almost daily. We had a serious complication with our return trip home that Brooke handled with such mature kindness and understanding offering to stay longer if it would help and answering all my worried texts. I also came home to laundry done, bed linens washed and bed freshly made and my home spotless. Brooke is the sitter I will always call on for all travel. A genuine 5 gold stars caregiver sitter! Thank you, thank you, Brooke!”
“As always, Sanya was trustworthy, professional and very conscientious about our cat's care whille we were away recently. Our cat is always in grea hands with Sanya! -- Tricia”
“Kenia was absolutely wonderful, and I would book with her again without hesitation. This was my first time having someone stay overnight in my home, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and professionalism. She respected my home and my space exactly as we discussed, followed every instruction carefully, and even took initiative when appropriate without needing to be asked. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Luna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned. It was clear that Kenia genuinely cared about making sure both my dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kenia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Jennifer did so great with my pups. This was my first time using the overnight part of this service, so I was a little nervous at first but she did a great job providing notes of everything we had gone over and was also very flexible with the timing of the stay. She cared for both my senior dog and puppy at the same time and did a great job with them. Would recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pups.”
“We were happy to be able to have Mabelyn stay at our home to take care of our dog for the week we were gone. She communicated every day and sent us photos. In addition, she took great care in leaving our home as tidy and clean as when we left. We highly recommend Mabelyn as a house and dog/cat sitter.”
“Darlin was awesome with my fur babies and extremely knowledgeable. They warmed up to her immediately. She provided updates with videos, messages, and photos. She has a warm and inviting personality. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jessica was amazing with our cats and really easy to work with. She went above and beyond, spending a lot of extra time at the house which we really appreciated—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. Would absolutely book her again and hope she would choose to work with us again too!”
“Kim is awesome. She house sat and watched our dog for two weeks while we traveled around. She took out garbage, hung out with the dog and kept the house running while we celebrated the holidays with family out of state. She was awesome with the dog, frequently sending photos and keeping him happy. She walked him multiple times a day, played fetch with him the backyard so he could get out zoomies and snuggled with him at night. She also kept tabs on all of our packages and mail. Both the house and dog were in great hands while we were away!”
About: I have been an animal lover and advocate for my ENTIRE life. I have many years of experience working with cats and dogs. I have worked with a range of needs as well; such as senior animal care and administering medications. I'm here to support with walks, playing, feeding and any other needs your pet may have. I am confident in providing your pet(s) with excellent love and care! I look forward to working with you and your fur baby and thanks for checking out my profile I currently work a hybrid schedule during Monday-Friday and work out of DC and Alexandria area. Depending on the work day I may be able to come earlier than the afternoon. My weekends are typically free. You may always message me first to see if I can accommodate your scheduling needs! I live in an area where there are several local parks with access to trails perfect for walking with pets. I am available for home visits as well
“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”
“Lauren was responsive and amenable to helping out with changing health (and diet!) needs of our elderly pup. She was great and our dog was clearly well cared for, and our house was nice and clean when we got home. We would definitely leave our pup with Lauren again.”
“Preston was great with both of our dogs! He was really knowledgeable with how to care for our senior dog and handle his medication and was available on pretty short notice! We’ll definitely want to rebook next time we go out of town.”

Julia did an amazing job with our senior pup, Diesel. She sent us consistent updates throughout the weekend, was on time, and stuck with his schedule. We try to take Diesel wherever we can on vacation, but she made the weekend stressfree and we knew he was in good hands.
Nothing but superlatives. Prompt, communicative, responsive, and responsible. My pups took to Almendra immediately which made me immeasurably comfortable. She followed our instructions carefully and sent pics of their activity to ensure I was aware of their status throughout her stay. Will absolutely be a repeat customer.
Lindsey was so great with our boy Waffles. She took great care of him and was attentive to his needs, as he can be a bit anxious especially around thunderstorms. She was incredibly communicative, which we really enjoyed since we missed him while we were away. We would definitely book her again!
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 for House Sitting in Lowes Island on Rover is $61.05 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 10,188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lowes Island. 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 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 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.

- 96% 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.
