“Almendra was fantastic, she was very responsive and took great care of my dogs while away... I appreciate the pictures from walks or meals and updates throughout the day. Definitely made my trip less stressful, I know who to contact if I need someone to check in or stay with my pups. ?”

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 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 pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. 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.

“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”

“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.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and for families in the area. I genuinely love working with dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most at home. I am retired and have plenty of free time to give your pet the love it deserves. I love the company of a furry friend. I’d be happy to host your furry pet or come to you, whichever works best. I match whatever the pet needs, whether that’s a calm presence or energetic friend.

About: Hi! I’ve had a dog since I was a toddler and I’ve always been fascinated by dogs/pets, and caring for them. I love spending time with them, playing, walking and having fun! I’ve always considered them an extended part of my family, which makes me understand how importante they are in our lives and that they have needs just like everyone does! Part of those needs are caring, helping them keep themselves active, proper feeding and to stay healthy, no matter their age, breed or condition. Time apart from them can be tough, but by showing love and care, I help them to relax, have a good time, and to wait for you to be back with them! 🤗 I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of flexibility, and time to spend with my furry friends 🐶 I also have a car, that lets me move quicker and helps me attend my pet-guests 🥰 I have a large fence backyard and a sweet brown lab named Cocoa, who’s always happy to receive guests! In case our furry friend is not interested in having company, she likes giving them space. There’s plenty of room to keep them separate 🧘🏽

“We felt so comfortable not only leaving our dogs with these two but having them stay in our home while we left for the holidays. Our dogs had an amazing time and were incredibly loved and looked after. So many cute picture and video updates too! They covered all bases and were kind enough to ask us if we needed plants watered, anything else taken care of, etc. Will definitely use them again!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

About: I promise to treat your dog like my own. I have owned dogs for years and I know how much love and attention they need. I'll keep you posted if you're out of town, and you won't worry about your furry friend. Pictures, details on walks! I have cared for small dogs as well as medium and large dogs. I have experience with dogs from puppyhood to seniors. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to spend a lot of time with your pet and I am available ASAP. I do have a lab mix and a cat who are great with other dogs and have a XL crate if needed. Looking forward to hearing from you :) I work remotely and on a consultant basis so I’m home most of the week and happy to help with your fur baby. :) :) Typically, I allow dogs on the furniture and bed. The sleep with me and my dogs unless you have another preference which I will happily follow.

“Clay was absolutely phenomenal when it came to cat sitting my cat, Itty Bitty. She is typically very shy, but when Clay came over to meet her for the first time, she was immediately smitten with him. She just wanted all the love and attention, which made me feel completely at ease. Itty Bitty struggles with separation anxiety, but she had no issues while I was away. In fact, she didn’t even seem bothered by my absence because of the exceptional care she received from Clay. Clay always stayed in touch, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures. You can truly tell that he has a good soul and genuinely cares for and loves every animal he meets. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

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 October 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.

As of October 2026, there are 10,081 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lowes Island. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
