“Angelina did a wonderful job of watching our puppy. She took took note of everything we talked about at our meet up and made a detailed itinerary of when she would be stopping by and what she would be doing, even more detailed than I needed. She took pictures and sent plenty of updates throughout the day so there was never a doubt our puppy had been given the best care, would recommend to anyone.”
“Caroline did a great job being adaptable to our changing schedules and took excellent care of Arden, Bear and Mila! Multiple photos let me know they were in good hands. Fantastic communication with very prompt responses and didn't hesitate to reach out with any questions. House was well taken care of also. We will definitely be booking again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars aren’t nearly enough for Sheryl! Leaving beloved pets with someone new can feel nerve-wracking, but Sheryl quickly put me at ease. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my dogs gave me complete confidence. She has such a servant’s heart and treats my pups with tenderness and love. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

“Rachael took great care of our dogs and house while we were away. She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs looking comfortable and at ease which we appreciate so much. We will definitely use Rachael again and highly recommend her services.”

“Faith is absolutely wonderful!! My two dogs and cat adore her. That is saying a lot as one of my dogs is extremely anxious and scared of almost everyone. She takes excellent care of our fur babies. My only regret is she is leaving town this fall.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“Very pleased with the care she provided as we went on our cruise. Definitely would recommend Ashlen and hope to be able to work with her again on future trips out of town”
“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Kary was amazing! Our two dogs absolutely adored her!! She gave them a ton of exercise, took them on long walks, and they got plenty of cuddle time too. I really appreciated the pictures she sent and how she kept me up to date on how they were doing. It's never easy to be away from pets when they're truly your family, but Kary made me feel extremely comfortable and confident that they were in great hands. 12/10 I would recommend her to any pet parent. I'm absolutely coming to Kary first if and when we need a sitter again.”
About: I have always been a dog lover, and I love meeting new pooches! I have sat for many dogs over the years, and have recently trained my own service dog named Dolly Parton. She is my best friend and can meet your dog- or not- we're flexible! I work full time days, but my evenings and weekends are typically free for pet care. If needed I can also take an extended lunch break to check on your pet. I am available to play with your pet at your place or a park if they are up for a drive. I am very active, so if your dog wants to go for a walk or a run, I'm ready to work up a sweat!
“Emily is fantastic. She took such great care of our pup, Jenny. I really feel like she treated her in such a kind and special way. She took her for walks, sent us pics and communicated really well. I never had a single issue with Emily. I plan to hire her again. I would definitely trust Emily with any animal you have.”
“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Anna was amazing with our dogs! We could tell instantly that they liked her and were very comfortable with her when they met. We felt assured they were going to be in good hands. She sent us updates at least once daily how they were doing and her communication was thorough and very appreciated. I would trust her to stay with them again and 100% would recommend her during the summer when she's home from college or during long school breaks.
We are very thankful to have been referred to Caroline! Our little Skeeter is a bit anxious with strangers, but he quickly became familiar and even cuddled with Caroline. We have found our go-to. Caroline is professional, thoughtful, and has a great work ethic on top of having a good feel for our dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Andover on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Andover. 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 Andover 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 Andover 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 Andover 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 Andover. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
