“Paula is amazing! So caring and thoughtful, our dog Rosie loved spending the night with her. Lots of walks, lots of snuggles—10/10 would recommend, and can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Grettel has been amazing!! Scout is a very nervous and anxious dog and as soon as Grettel and Scout met I knew that Scout was going to be comfortable with Grettel! It only took him about 10 minutes to relax, which is huge for Scout!! She is also very thorough, which puts us at ease. She also provides video and pics of him while we are away! :) ”
“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”
“Ianthe did an excellent job caring for my cats while staying at my home. She was detail oriented, reliable, and performed exactly as promised. The cats were well looked after and the house was just as I left it, calm and orderly. It’s always a relief to come home to happy pets and a peaceful home. Highly recommend her services!”
“Rose was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! Thankfully, she was available (fairly) short notice and worked with us every step of the way! She sent us pictures of Bolo everyday (to reassure my girlfriend) and kept bolo (who can have really bad separation anxiety) from freaking out. She also finished drying/folding our laundry for us! We really appreciate everything she did, and would 100000000% re-hire her/recommend her for whoever is looking for a dogsitter, walker or anything in between.”
“Olivia was fantastic!! She house and pet sat over the Christmas week and took great care of my small Husky and 2 cats. She sent texts and photos almost daily and left the house immaculate. She spent a ton of quality time with Izzy the Husky. I highly recommend Olivia if you’re in need of a very conscientious and responsible house sitter!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15. I started by watching a neighbor's dogs almost every weekend while they went out - I would walk them, feed them & bathe them. I also have had my own dogs since I was a kid! I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets throughout the weekday & weekends. If you're interested, I'd be happy to take your dog on a hike for a longer walk/more exercise. Yes, I have a fenced in yard. When your dog is with me, I will treat them like my own and they will get loved on throughout their time with me.
“Katrina and her boyfriend, Ken, were very communicative, kind, and genuinely loved animals. Our dog, Jack, is a nervous boy, but they did the best they could in calming his nerves, and putting in the effort to gain his trust. I highly recommend!”
About: I lived in California for 4 years and while I was there I was apart of a dog rescue. Many dogs lived at my house. I also had a couple of cats , so I am comfortable around both! I am working part time at the moment so my schedule is pretty open for the most part. You can just ask me a time and I can see if I can work around it! I watch a family friends dog a lot at my house. He just wanders around the house. He is usually stuck to me like glue so he doesn’t go far lol . When he stays at my house he just lays in bed with me. He is a Maltese and Chihuahua mix! When he goes outside to use the bathroom he doesn’t go far and he listens to me when I tell him to come. I do not have fencing or anything around my house.
“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”
About: I want your pet to be both comfortable and happy! I'm not here to just let them out and leave- I will make sure they get the proper care and attention they need while you're away. Due to an injury affecting my farming career, I am now available any time other than Wednesdays from 12:30-3:30. Other than that, I am wide open for both drop-in and overnight stays! While I currently cannot pet-sit at my own home, I am willing to travel wherever to meet yours. I am open to any environment and am willing to listen or read as much as possible when it comes to your pet's habits, needs, rules, etc. Understanding your pet's needs is the key to a safe and trusting enviornment!
“Absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and communicative. Our girls were super relaxed and happy when we got home to a very clean house. 10/10 would book again. Thank you for all of the pics and updates on our girls over the course of your stay.”
“Shelby was excellent with our dog. She asked plenty of questions to make sure she took the best care of Bella, sent us plenty of updates, and made sure Bella was comfortable at all times. We came home to a very happy pup. Would definitely recommend Shelby.”
“Chana did an excellent job taking care of my three dogs! She stayed in contact to let us know how things were going and provided us the reassurance that our dogs were in good hands! Thanks Chana! As this experience made our vacation that much better….”
“Cassie is a wonderful sitter! This was our puppies’s first experience with a sitter and she was very communicative and reliable. She constantly sent us picture, videos, and updates so we were able to be at ease the whole time. Will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: As a freelancer working in the arts, I have been called upon to dog-walk & pet/housesit for colleagues, friends, and neighbours in cities across Canada, Los Angeles, New York and now in my current home of the Hudson Valley. Ive cared for dogs (big and small) cats & kittens and fish. I also love gardening and can care for plants. I am discreet, professional, mature & know how to communicate. I do not drink or do drugs. I live a healthy, peaceful lifestyle and will bring that good, clean energy into your home caring for your pets. I do NOT have my own pet that I would bring to your house. I am a writer who makes their own schedule so I can easily fit pet care into my schedule on my own terms, and am available on weekends when things can be extra busy. In my clients home I am usually in-and-out to pick up the doggo and if requested/needed can stay longer to give the dog more play-time, stimulation with games etc in the home or in the yard.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lyonsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lyonsville. 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 Lyonsville 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 Lyonsville 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 Lyonsville 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 Lyonsville. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
