“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.”
“Heather is amazing! She sent enough pictures to keep my mind at ease but not so many that I was disrupted at work. So I knew my baby boy was safe and happy! And when my husband and I got home, we were surprised with a painting she made with Max. 10 out of 5, I will definitely be using Heather for all of my out of town trips!”
“Jamie did an amazing job with our pups when my husband and I both had to travel for work at the same time. She kept me updated with photos which helped ease any anxiety about leaving them and reassured me that they were in great hands! We came back to a clean house and 2 happy dogs. We are so happy we found Jamie and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Whether that means going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting some exercise or simply keeping them company, I love being an extra buddy for your pet! I had a dog for seven years who was the sweetest companion, and after graduating college, I got a dog of my own. She's now five years old, and I love having her by my side. I also have experience raising puppies, as I brought my dog home when she was just four months old. I'm a flexible and dependable person who is happy to accommodate your pet's individual needs and routines. As long as we communicate ahead of time about scheduling and expectations, I'll do my best to be there when you need me. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a little more attention or specific care, I'm always happy to help make sure they're in good hands! I can be pretty flexible. Anytime after 5 pm on the weekdays and anytime on Saturday and Sundays, I’m available. I work full time and so that does affect when I can walk your pet but I can definitely do drop ins. I usually walk my dog after work or play fetch for a hour or more. In my home, I have a fenced in backyard, with lots of space to sprint around and have fun with me and my fur-baby. The neighborhood is very safe and well-paved for good long walks as well. My dog is great with other dogs and loves to romp around outside with a ball, stick or pretty much anything.
“We had a wonderful experience with Ari! She watched our dogs and cat for 9 nights while we were on vacation, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Ari took great care of them and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs. We really appreciate everything Ari did and would absolutely trust her to watch them again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting several times a month for nearly 10 years and have experience caring for pets at every stage of life. From litters of newborn puppies to senior dogs needing medication and diaper changes. I have the flexibility to stay in your home, allowing your pets to stick to their normal routines and feel as comfortable, safe, and secure as possible while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, from timid pets who need a little extra patience to outgoing, energetic pets who love lots of attention and affection. I work full-time, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I flip between being in-person and hybrid, and my weekends are often available unless marked otherwise. I’m able to plan ahead to make sure your pets receive the care and attention they need while you’re away. We can work together to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. I offer in-home pet sitting, where I stay at your home so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and stick to their normal routines. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other specific needs your pets may have.
“Our pup has been real sick lately, leaving me worried about him home alone. Ingrid graciously babysat him for us all day and gave him his meds, which has gotten more difficult lately. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of photos to help me relax lol she also managed to get him to let her check on a sore toe that he wouldn’t let me near! I would 100% recommend Ingrid.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.
“I have used Angela twice for 1-2 weeks when I was out of the country. She does a wonderful job with both my dogs, one puppy, and one very old dog. When I used to the second time, they seemed extremely glad to see her She even watered my plants! I highly recommend.”

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 of House Sitting in Andover is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andover. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
