“Zachary spent the afternoon with my high maintenance cat and while he was there he brought in the mail and packages, shoveled the catboxes, sent me photos, and was very careful about going over all the instructions carefully. His hard work and attention to detail were much appreciated!”
“This was our first time using Rover and having Marissa house sit. She was wonderful, responsive, asking good questions and just taking care of everything beautifully. Came home after a week to a happy dog and home.”
“We had an excellent experience with our house/pet sitter, Gordon. I was nervous having a stranger in our home and with our pets, but from the start, he was great at communicating with me. That continued while we were away with daily texts and photos. It put our minds at ease knowing they were being taken care of so well. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. He even went out of his way to schedule things around our dog who requires special attention and medication. Would definitely book again.”
“Mariah was wonderful and so good with our two dogs! She made the time away very stress free and left our home cleaner than when she started her two right stay. Definitely would recommend her to watch anyone’s puppers. :)”
“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous with our sweet little Oakleigh. She made us feel very comfortable leaving for the weekend. We’ve never we used Rover before and we will for sure contact Beth again. I know that Beth will always be our go to sitter.”
About: I had three rescue dogs of my own, two have since passed but we have taken my MILs dog since her passing so we have two dogs currently and three cats! I love animals and have been caring for them since I was a child growing up and always having a pet to care for made me very dependable and well mannered when it comes to training. I am experienced with animal rehabilitation and am comfortable with all animals but do have two young children in the home. Dogs that stay with us will have a designated heated and cooled space to sleep in. I am home all day during the day, am able to let animals out at any time as I have a large fenced in yard. We have cameras and a covered deck as well for complete safety and security for the animals. I am available for stop in visits, walking or general care. I work from home so am available to care for my children and pets. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to adjust it to meet my needs. I love animals, truly and honestly. I am patient and consistent and will ensure that your pet is cared for, safe and loved while under my care.
“Chelsea is an awesome sitter. She took excellent care of my dog, Theo, and my elderly cat Cecil. Theo needs lots of attention and walks as he is only 2. Cecil needs medication 2 times a day. Chelsea did both with pictures to boot. I loved receiving the pictures and seeing that they were so well cared for. I definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet needing a sitter and I look forward to seeing her again when we go on vacation next.”
About: We are truly animal lovers! Our yard is full of bird feeders and we always stop to pet a dog. Our backyard is fenced and secure. We recently lost both of our fur babies, after the best 16 years of their life. We are not ready for another dog just yet, but we miss a fuzzy cuddle and wet nose. We have owned and cared for animals all of our lives. We have nursed sick animals and done a ton of training. We enjoy walking around our neighborhood and your baby will join us if possible. Bring whatever favorite things that will make the stay more comfortable. Rest assured, they will be well cared for and surrounded by love. Sarah works from home so there will never be a time when they are alone for more than a quick errand. We probably love dogs more than people. We excited to meet you! Rich owns a business and is flexible when needed. Sarah works from home. If we have a pet here, we will absolutely be home for their care. Our house is pet friendly. They are welcome on the furniture. We have baby gates to block stairs. We will follow your instructions on feeding. If you want pictures I will be happy to provide them. I work from home. I also have family nearby in the case that I need to be away. Richard owns his business and is flexible. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of places to walk. Our house is pet friendly and gated where it is not. We will follow your feeding instructions exactly.
“Rhiannon was absolutely amazing housesitting our 2 dogs, who are 3 and 8 years old, while we were out of town. She was very flexible in coming over to meet our dogs prior to watching them. Both our dogs loved her immediately. We definitely will be rebooking her in the future while we are out of town.”
“Diandra was incredible! She was so communicative and so kind! She left our house in SPARKLING shape- I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She swung with some annoyances too- our house lost power in 95 degree weather and I messed up our days off and asked literally the day before she was going to leave if she could spend an extra night. She was super easy going about both. I feel so lucky we found her and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Our cats have always been very shy around new people, but Aurora was able to coax them out in almost no time during our initial meeting. Throughout the week, she sent us regular updates with plenty of pictures, and with each one we could tell that they were completely comfortable with how naturally they were acting. On top of taking excellent care of our cats and the house, she was also great with our bearded dragon, making sure she got her regular meals (bugs included) and checking her comfort level frequently. We would absolutely recommend Aurora to everyone who wants to make sure their pets have a genuine animal lover looking after them!”

“Margaret was absolutely wonderful during her stay with Monica and Chandler. I was able to trust her to come and go to the house without me being there with my super early and late flights. I got regular picture updates and my pups had so much fun with her! I love being able to have someone stay with my large and in charge dogs in their own space since two 70+ lb dogs can be a lot in someone else's home. Margaret was perfect for this and super trustworthy! I'll definitely be booking again :)”
“Natasha was an attentive, trustworthy home-sitter for our Lab, Winston! This was the first time we'd ever used a service like Rover let alone having someone stay in our home. She was timely in her responses during our days leading up to our trip, setting our meet-and-greet and during her stay here. She and her son kept great care of Winston and he seemed to enjoy his time with them! She respected our home and it was just as we left it when we arrived home from our trip. We would highly recommend Natasha.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Lyndon is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $32 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 Lyndon 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 Lyndon 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 Lyndon 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.
