“Callie watched our hyper, very large 52lb 6 month old puppy for a night along with our cat, and did an amazing job! Our puppy is is not at an easy to watch stage, being young and energetic and exciteable, while also being huge and powerful and only half trained. Yet Callie seemed completely unflumoxed and when we came home our house was clean and tidy and the puppy was happy. Highly recommend!”
“We appreciated Emily coming to stay with Donut and the updates she gave during her stay at our house with him, we would definitely book with Emily again! Thank you!!”
“Mikayla was awesome with our girls and very professional with our house while we were out of town. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home, she was also very good about communication both before and during the trip. Will absolutely use her again.”
“We had a great experience with Rachael! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, was incredibly flexible with timing, and made the entire process stress-free. Most importantly, we felt completely confident that our puppy, Zeke, and cat, Ophie, were in excellent hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Indigo was able to sit on short notice when another sitter left a weeks long stay early. They were prompt and communicative and helped me in a touch situation. I had peace of mind knowing that my pets were well cared for.”
“Michael was great. He came over to meet the dogs a few days before we went away and they hit it off. He was always on time and took great care of the dogs. He was also quick to respond to messages. We highly recommend him to take care of your fur family.”
“Alexis did an excellent job with our Wheaten Terrier Harley for a 3-day house sitting job. She watched over our home and pup, took her swimming and walks and kept great communication with us. She was even engaged in a neighborhood situation where someone’s dog got out and she was able to return him to the rightful owner, who we knew. THEY too are extremely grateful. Alexis will certainly be on my top list for future weekend travel plans!!”
About: I've always had pets since I was 7. I'm a vet assistant so I have experience with all types of pets as well. I can administer medication if necessary. I'm currently working full time as a vet assistant so I can dog sit overnights and on weekends during the day. I may be able to do walks on my days off. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with two cats so I don't have room to have dogs stays at my house. I will make sure to walk them before bedtime and in the morning as well as play/snuggle with them.
“Jessica T. is fantastic. Our dog Buttercup loves her and is always excited to see her. We have used Jessica a couple times while we were away on vacation. She stayed in our house with our dog and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is great with getting back to me and keeping us updated on Buttercup with photos. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.
“I'm so lucky to have found Ami. She was caring, my puppy loves her from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was also very punctual and sent constant updates and great pictures.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
“Kirsten was wonderful. She was prompt and took great care of my dog Shotz. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Shotz seemed to like her as well. I would definitely have her dog sit again!”
“Michael house sat with our two pooches for 14 days. Our reactive, stranger-disliking dog took to Michael on first meeting. Michael responded immediately to any messages that we sent, and kept us informed with regular notes and photos of the hounds. The dogs were happy, our home was well looked after, and the houseplants are still green! Good job!”
“Nathan was wonderful - providing loving care for my two dogs. He was on time, offered support when my dog sprained her ankle, and attentive to their needs. Thank you Nathan!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lyndeborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lyndeborough on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 881 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lyndeborough. 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 Lyndeborough 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 Lyndeborough 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 Lyndeborough 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyndeborough. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
