“Stephen is very experienced and mature, not to mention friendly. We only needed to him to be a companion initially, but we will trust him with much more complex situations if one arises.”
“We are so thankful to have found Mackenzie! She took care of our dog in our home while we were away and kept us updated throughout the trip with how he was doing to ease our minds while away! We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be using her again!!”
“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
About: I am an animal lover! I've always had pets - golden retrievers and cats. Currently I have 2 cats, Poppy and Franklin who loves dogs as he grew up with golden retrievers in our house. My daughter and I love animals, and would love to care of yours while you are away! Currently, I work at home and have a flexible schedule. I am available during the week (Monday-Friday) or on weekends. I can work as needed or on a set schedule. I would be happy to do leashed walks with your dog, we have a dog friendly neighborhood! We have a lot of open space for dogs to play!
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
“Brady stayed with my three Aussies for ten days. (1 of which is on medications.). They were loved, content, and happy. I got updates throughout the time and pics of them all cuddled up on the sofa with Brady. I can’t thank him enough for the time and care he took with them. I highly recommend.”
“Lorraine was great! I got text updates and phone calls. It was comforting knowing they were in good hands! I look forward to using her again for my July vacation:) Thanks”
“So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!”
“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and love their company. I have a great yard for small to medium size dogs that is fenced in for safety. My home is safe and loving and a perfect place for your fur baby while you are away. I do not work outside my home so all fur babies will have my full attention. Lots of play time and cuddling. Lots of love. I have a fur baby myself named Barley. He loves all dogs and would be a great companion for you fur baby. He is a small dog, Cavapoo.
“Amazing dog sitter! Olivia stayed with our 3 highly energetic lab mix dogs for a week during the holidays. She kept us updated with pictures and updates. The dogs were very happy with her! Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a while now but I have recently been really involved in it, I am able to feed you pup, take them to get bathed by me, and take them for nice walks I work pretty flexible hours so taking your pup out would not be a problem. My mom and I are a team do we work very hard to make sure your pet is being taken care of properly Although I do not have a fenced in yard we live in a very nice area and I am able to take the dogs on nice walks. If they need to get more their energy out I will take them down the the gated tennis courts to play and run
“Tiffany did a great job with my pup Wilfred! Lots of pictures and she’s very responsive and worked with my schedule. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a dog sitter!!!”
“Five stars, no hesitation. Devin house-sat for my two three-year-old dogs for 48 hours and gave them endless attention, love, and exercise. He kept me updated throughout, and I came home to find the dogs and the house exactly as requested. Dependable, communicative, and a true dog person. I'll gladly book him again.”
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
“Colleen is amazing. 100% piece of mind is priceless to me when leaving my fur babies and knowing she’s there with them I can truly enjoy time away! She leaves the house spotless and observes all of the little notes we leave her keeping the pups on their normal routines. I’m so grateful. Colleen, thank you so much!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs in clients’ homes before and I’m an attentive, responsible caregiver. I also have a background resource many pet sitters don’t: my girlfriend is currently in vet school, so I can draw on real veterinary knowledge when it comes to medical questions, medication schedules, or health concerns — not just guesswork. I also have two dogs of my own, ages 10 and 8, so I’m well versed in the needs of both older, mellower dogs and animals with more specific care routines. Whether your dog needs a calm, predictable environment or just an active playmate, I’ve got it covered I run my own online business, Peptrova, a peptide company, so my schedule is largely self-directed and wide open compared to a typical 9-to-5. That means I can prioritize your pet’s care around your timeline rather than squeezing visits in around a rigid job — whether that’s flexibility for last-minute bookings, longer visits, or being consistently available throughout the day for check-ins. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots to sleep. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same way. I also just genuinely have a lot of sympathy for animals — I notice when they’re anxious, uncomfortable, or acting off, and I take that seriously rather than brushing it aside. Combined with my girlfriend’s veterinary background, that means your pet is watched closely and cared for with real attentiveness, not just supervised.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lyndell
Makayla is an awesome pet sitter! She cared for our dog, Luna, in our home. Communication was excellent with regular texts, pictures and pup-dates. Luna was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I would recommend Meghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!
Mary and Chandler did a fantastic job taking care of our two greater Swiss Mountain dogs while we were gone for the weekend. They sent updated pictures and notes, honored the requests we had made, and also left the house in great condition which we really appreciated. We arrived home to two well fed and happy dogs, and a clean house. We would absolutely utilize their services again. Thanks so much Mary and Chandler!
We are so thankful to have found Mackenzie! She took care of our dog in our home while we were away and kept us updated throughout the trip with how he was doing to ease our minds while away! We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be using her again!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lyndell is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $83 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 Lyndell 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 Lyndell 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 Lyndell 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.
