“The best babysitter for my pups! They absolutely loved her. This was my first time ever leaving them or using this app and she made it so easy and gave me peace of mind. She made sure to be extra cautious with my beagles outside so they didn’t escape. You'll get constant updates and cute pics of your pups. You won’t find a better baby sitter!”
“We have a farm and Terry did a great job looking over all of our animals (chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, horses). He went above what we asked and even vacuumed and cleaned the litterboxes for our return. He successfully gave meds to our temperamental chihuahua as well and kept us thoroughly updated on how she was doing.”
About: I am a pre-veterinary student who has been working with animals since the age of eight. I grew up doing 4H and FFA, and worked at my mother‘s pet care business all throughout my life. I am very experienced in all sorts of animal care, and am experienced with sensitive animals. I have been working as a veterinary technician since 2023, and have been taking care of pets long before then. I am experiencing taking care of animals with difficult medical needs. I also don’t mind the rowdy ones! I love to spend time working with shy pets, and training the energetic ones! I am currently working as a veterinary assistant, but I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. My schedule is able to be adapted for my clients. Each animal in my care receives my undivided attention, and I have experience in recognizing and acting on signs of medical emergencies. I often spend time with pets teaching new behaviors and making the pet feel like they are loved.
“Jordan was able to watch our babies on short notice due to an unexpected family tragedy and we are so grateful for her! She made sure to give meds and do all the other things we asked of her. We will definitely want to work with her again!”
“We are beyond thankful for Emily, taking care of our cat and dog for an extended holiday weekend! She was great with communication, updates, and was flexible with some additional sudden needs when our dog was sick right before Emily was scheduled to take care of her. She was great with administering all medications. We will definitely being using her again soon!!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life both personally and with family and friends! I love animals and know how stressful it can be finding pet care! Im on a travel contract in Lexington, KY from 11/12 to 2/14! I can provide over night care on Friday and Saturday nights if I know in advance and can do nightly walks or check ins after 6pm during the week! Currently can’t board pets at my place of residence right now but am open to check ins, walks, and staying at your place depending on needs!
About: Update: October 27th 2026 my partner would be the primary care taker of your fur babies due to my great grandmother having lung cancer I would be going back and forth to Ohio... God bless yall After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Agawam. 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 Agawam 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 Agawam 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 Agawam 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.
