“Look no further, Mikayla is the best!! She stayed with my three dogs and always kept me updated with pictures and was always on time. She left the house spotless and even got in my mail and packages. To top it all off she made a picture collage of pics from when I was away. Such a sweet idea and so thoughtful. I can’t say enough good things about Mikayla and how much I appreciate her!! Will always be our go to!”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and recently, ferrets—which I’ve been having so much fun learning about! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for them. I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and more complex daily routines, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.
“A huge thank you to Isabella for making our first trip away from our pup worry free. This was the first time in eight years Rocky has been left with someone other than family. She was an absolute rockstar! She reassured my husband and I that Rocky was in the best hands possible. She came to our home to take care of Rocky for the duration of our trip. The entire time we were away, we received photos and texts updating us on Rocky’s adjustment. Turns out Rocky was fine. It was his parents that needed reassurance, which, by the way she was completely understanding of. I would 1000% recommend Isabella. She was patient loving towards our baby and extremely responsible. She was right he was in the best hands possible we will be using her again.”
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
“Melanie did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Mollie, while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Mollie was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, she left our home clean and tidy when we returned. We were extremely pleased with her care and will absolutely use Melanie again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“We went out of the country for 8 days and asked Brittany to house sit and watch our two big dogs and she was very reliable. She sent us daily updates and let us know how the dogs were doing/asking if anything else needed to be done for them. She also left the house in great shape when we got home. It was a big relief having her there since we did not have service for a lot of the trip.”

I’m also an active person, so your pets will get plenty of walks, playtime, and love. And it’s not just dogs—I’ve cared for cats too, so every furry friend is welcome!

About: Hello my name is Hannah ! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more . My experience in pet care is from having my own animals and caring for family and friends . My boyfriend and I only have one dog ; she is a Basset Hound her name is Dolly . I will always make sure to treat your furry friends with nothing but love and attention when in my care. I work full time 9/5 but am available in the morning and after work and of course on the weekends. If needed and close enough I can check in on my lunch . I aim to keep your dog on their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love—while also keeping your home tidy and secure why you are away.
“We were so pleased with Mariaisabel. She took such great care of our senior pup, who needs a little extra TLC and attention. She provided great updates and we came home to a happy pup and a home that looked untouched. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve watched numerous neighbors’ pets for weekends and trained and raised my own puppy. I’ve also grown up watching and taking care of two dogs, and I’ve cared for dogs and cats of most ages, breeds, and sizes! I work at an elementary school during the week, so most of my availability is during the evening and on weekends! I’m easily able to fit your pup (or kitty) into my daily routine! I’ve spent the night at neighbors’ and friends’ homes before to care for their pets. I’m available to take your dog on as many walks as he/she needs and I love playing games with pups outside or indoors, whichever your home allows.

“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”

Jennifer is fantastic! She took wonderful care of our mini dachshund and even changed the water for our bird. She was an in-home sitter for us for 9 days and was the perfect companion and guest. She even brought in the mail for us. Jennifer isn’t just responsible and professional, but she’s sweet and has a great sense of humor. I very highly recommend her!!!
We are very pleased with Audra's services while pet/house sitting our 2 cats, Cry Baby and Rachel. She was very responsive to all texts from this anxious kitty Mama. She was patient with me during my many check ins and provided me with unprompted updates and pictures. This was the first time for us to leave the cats since we have had them and was not sure how they would be with a stranger. Audra did make 2 visits to our home before we left to get to know us, the cats, our house, and routines for the cats. The house was as clean and tidy on our return as it was when we left. We will definitely use Audra again!
If you are looking for a house/pet sitter who is conscientious, deeply compassionate, and thoroughly professional, look no further than Kimberly. She treated our home with the utmost respect and went above and beyond to keep our baby girl Abby Rose safe, loved, and entertained. The proactive communication and daily photo updates were wonderful and allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We will definitely be booking again with Kimberly for our next vacay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lyman is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $93 per night.

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 Lyman 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 Lyman 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 Lyman 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.
