“This was our second time having DeAnna stay in our home overnight with our chickens, dog, and guinea pig! She is super responsive and takes such great care of our pets. Plus she leaves the house clean which is always nice coming back from vacation! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Nevaeh took care of my 2 pups for 5 days. When I got home they were relaxed and happy. They obviously were well cared for. I had daily communication with Nevaeh, so I knew all was going well. I would love to have Nevaeh take care of my dogs again.”
“Blaise was great! She kept in contact with me and sent me multiple pictures. She followed all instructions for Athena’s care. We are so thankful that Athena was cared for by such a caring person. Athena absolutely loved Blaise!”
“Elizabeth is SO sweet and took great care of my sweet fur baby! He was so happy and so loved on while I was away. My buddy has separation anxiety and knowing that sweet Elizabeth was loving on him while I was away made me feel a million times better!! We’ve already booked her again and Spade can’t wait for more snuggles!”
“I am blown away by Kellie and how well she cared for my guy while I was gone. She sent multiple daily updates and loved him like he was her own which eased so much worry about leaving him alone. She may be his new favorite person and I’m so happy for that!”
“Erica did a great job watching our 2 dogs and our house! She regularly updated me on the dogs and cleaned the whole house before we got home. She was very communicative and friendly, highly recommend!”
“Giovanni has watched my senior dog for years and he easily adapted to our newest addition another rescue. Going on trips out of state with him watching my girls gives me comfort knowing they are in good hands.”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
“Aidan was absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions to a T, communicated consistently, and sent great updates throughout our trip. He even went above and beyond by helping with cleaning and light housekeeping while we were gone. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved him and clearly felt safe and comfortable with him. They normally don’t eat well when we’re away, but they had no problem eating while Aidan was here, which says a lot about how comfortable he made them feel. We typically find ourselves checking in on our cameras occasionally when we travel, but with Aidan, we felt so comfortable and confident that our dogs were in good hands that we genuinely didn’t feel the need to. We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing they were being cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets and home.”
“Ashley was great and did a wonderful job at our house. Everything was in its place when we returned and our pups seemed to be relaxed and happy to have had the attention. We even have a dog who has some accidents due to age, and she let us know about it and cleaned everything up. She communicated with us consistently with questions or concerns, and we were never left wondering how things were going. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Ashley again and would recommend her to others.”
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household and have experience with everything from big labs to small chihuahuas. One of my family dogs had diabetes, so I understand how important routine, medication, and careful monitoring are. I also fostered a puppy who wasn’t crate trained, so I’m patient and confident working with younger dogs still learning structure. I’m very hands-on, detail-oriented, and make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My remote work schedule allows me to provide flexible, hands-on care all day long. I’m experienced with dogs who require structured routines and strict feeding schedules, and I take pride in following instructions closely. Your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care—not just quick check-ins treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks and walks, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow all care instructions closely and always communicate with updates and pictures.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lyles
Overall, I was pleased with the care of my home. The care of the pups was lackluster. I found poop and pee in the cage, on the rug by the garage and through the yard. Water bowls were empty in the bedroom, outside and cage. Based on the photos from the garage and the doorbell, frequency of care visits were not as requested (about 4-5 hours apart). These are senior pups and one with issues with her hind legs which also impacts her ability to squat. Overall, as I said, I was happy to leave and know someone was looking after them. I just wish my expectations and the care were more aligned.

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 Lyles 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 Lyles 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 Lyles 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.
