“Becca does such a great job with my senior lab. She takes care of all my dog’s needs and she is always excited to see Becca. She also does a wonderful job communicating and keeping me informed about how the days are going.”
“Great to have Tina in our home! She was flexible and sent pics often. I had no qualms leaving for a month over two holidays with Tina in the house! I already left a tip for her from the girls!”
“Kimberly has sat for us before and we are always thoroughly pleased with her services. She's attentive and caring toward our pets, and keeps us updated with photos and news. She always leaves our home looking better than she found it, which isn't expected, but is a pleasant surprise! With three dogs, exotic pets, and particularly a separation-anxious "pandemic puppy," we feel like we have finally regained our ability to travel knowing that our animals are in such caring and capable hands.”
“Lizzie was a great in-home option for us while we were away for a few nights. I wasn’t concerned about our dogs while we were away and appreciated coming home to happy dogs! Thanks, Lizzie!”
“Shatoria was a joy to have in our home, so much so that our dogs did not even care when we came back after nearly two weeks away, and ran right upstairs to her room to look for her. Excellent communication and attention to detail, and I am almost certain our home was cleaner when she left than when she arrived. Easily the best pet care experience we’ve had. Booking again ASAP.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs at home, and over the past 15+ years that love has turned into real hands-on experience: feeding schedules, potty training quirks, senior dog needs, high-energy breeds who need a good run, and the anxious pets who just want a lap to curl up on. I treat every dog I care for like my own. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, your dog will get consistent care and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative (expect photo updates!), and genuinely happiest when there’s a dog nearby. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m currently waiting for my full-time job to start so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time with your pets! They will get lots of love and attention. I plan to make sure your pets always feel safe and comfortable! They will always be my top priority and meeting their needs will be essential.
“We had an amazing experience with Jesse! She took wonderful care of both our dog and our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, super kind with our pets, and clearly loved spending time with them. She even surprised our dog with some plush toys before she left, which meant so much to us. When we came back, both of our pets were completely relaxed and happy, which says everything about the level of care they received. On top of pet care, she was a huge help with things around the house when they came up and shared really helpful advice for managing our dog’s allergies. We truly felt supported the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier with her care and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was wonderful with my pup. She checked in on her multiple times per day, sent me updates and photos from each encounter. Would definitely use her again and again. Its the second time i left my dog home alone for multiple days under Ashley’s care.”
“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”
About: I enjoy caring for energetic dogs and love keeping them active through games like fetch and tug-of-war. I am a dependable and attentive pet sitter who is comfortable administering medications and providing any additional care your pet may need. I strive to build trust with every pet I care for, and I’m proud that many of my clients have chosen me as their recurring pet sitter. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently available through the beginning of August and am happy to discuss scheduling to find a time that works for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions about my availability. I typically provide care in your home to help keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also welcome your furry family members into my home for stays of up to two days, if needed. While I do not have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long walks and trips to local parks. If your dog enjoys socializing with other dogs and you approve, I’d be happy to take them to a dog park for additional play and enrichment. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and responsible supervision. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Once again, Pam is the best sitter we could ask for. She is so kind, patient, and understanding of our shy rescue, providing him with love and care while respecting his boundaries. She is wonderfully communicative and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing our pup was in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, finish later in the afternoon so I am free later in the day. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and care taker as long as I can remember. I grew up in the country and was always finding stray animals that needed nursed back to health. I have a very flexible schedule right now. Can do any time of day, any day of the week. I am extremely active and love playing and walking with animals. I will follow instructions to a tee no matter how specific. There will never be judgment. I will remain extremely cautious and present in my interactions.
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood dogs as well as my own since I was 6. I have also been working in doggie daycares for 4+ years; I take a lot of pride in being able to build connections with the dogs I get to take care of! I am currently a full-time worker, but I can always make time for your pet! I tend to have a bit more availability in the mornings!☀️ I like to come and hang out with the dogs as well as taking walks when it's nice out. I am able to administer any medications needed, as I am trained/told. I am also willing to give any baths or extras as long as I get the instruction!
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
About: I have over 20 years of experience in the rescue industry. I have fostered many dogs, from puppies to seniors. I have also done a lot of dog sitting for the rescue I am associated with when a foster needs to be out of town on vacation, at a wedding, etc. I love senior dogs. I have helped family members and friends navigate and solve issues with their pets. I have countless friends who I can go to if there is a challenge I am facing. I am super observant and will make sure your pet is always safe when they are with me. I will not leave your pet alone. I know the best ways to introduce dogs for the first time. I understand a dogs need to decompress when in a new place. Most of all I am patient and loving. There is nothing I love to do more than snuggle your dog. I currently work full time but am home before 5:00. I will stick to your dogs routine even if it differs from my dogs. I will make sure your dog is let out several times in the evening. I have a neighbor who can come let them out during the day if needed. I have a fenced in yard with about 1/2 an acre to run and play. My dogs are well cared for. I will treat your dogs the same. My home is a safe space. We also have a finished basement so there is plenty of room in case the dogs would need some down time from each other. I have crates if your dog prefers to sleep in one, otherwise they are welcome to sleep in bed with me, if that's OK with you. If you prefer for me to stay at your house, that works as well, especially if there are multiple pets (cats, etc.). Whatever is easiest for you and your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lowville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 819 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lowville. 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 Lowville 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 Lowville 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 Lowville 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.
