About: Hello, fellow fur pawrents, I’m Emma! I’ve always had dogs in my life as I grew up on a small farm with cats, chickens, sheep, and horses as well. I’m currently a dog mama to a eight-year-old St. Bernard/Boxer mix named Aspen! She is extremely spoiled from long walks to puppacinos to Amazon deliveries of squeaky toys. I started house sitting and providing care to other people’s animals while in high school and throughout college. While I don’t often house sit these days, I can currently provide dog walking and drop-in visits to help care for your fur babies. I look forward to chatting with you and playing with your fur babies! I am able to provide care for your fur babies on weekends. I am a SAHM and take care of my human kiddos during the week. I always update my schedule ahead of time for any days I may not be available. While providing care at your home, I make sure all gates and doors are fully closed and locked and alarms set when leaving. I also keep dog first-aid kits in my vehicle.
About: I’m extremely playful and loving towards all kinds! There’s been dogs in my family that i’ve trained/cared for all the way from chihuahuas to golden retrievers! I love all kinds and will listen and attend to your puppy’s needs! I’m currently home from college for the summer, and will be using Rover as a full time job! My availability i’m able to offer you is endless! I provide caring and reliable pet care in your pet's own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the importance of maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are gone. My goal is to make being away from your pet a little easier by giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.
“Katherine is an awesome sitter. She is super caring to my pups and they were so calm and relaxed when we got home. She is super easy to communicate with and I never worried once that our girls were not having the best time with her. Will definitely be calling her again! Thank you Katherine for taking such great care of these two goofballs and our home. You’re the best!!!”
“Anika was wonderful! She had great communication and sent pictures of our dogs during the time we were away. She walked our dogs as requested and they absolutely loved her! We will definitely use her again and again!”
“We had such a great experience with Amber! From the meet and greet, Charlie was comfortable with her, which immediately put us at ease. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated throughout our trip, and treated both our dog and our home with so much care and respect. It was clear she genuinely cared about Charlie, and knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely book with Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Tanya was great! Penny, my golden doodle adored her. We got frequent updates and updates and pictures of Penny. My house was spotless when I got home. We will definitely ask Tanya to watch our Penny again!! Thank you Tanya!❤️”
“I had such a great experience! Communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in good hands. I received updates and photos, which meant so much. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Amber was so accommodating and flexible with us and our changing schedule. We got photos and videos and through those it was obvious that our dog, Cain was comfortable with her and having fun! I felt so at ease knowing he was in good care. When we first met she asked so many thoughtful questions that left me feeling that this was a good match for us. Would recommend and would definitely reach out to Amber again.”
“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our furry child. We appreciate the somewhat short-notice booking and everything went really smoothly. I would highly recommend booking Evelyn if you're in need of pet care!”
“Stayed with our 2 dogs for 5 nights. My older dog has anxiety and usually has accidents while we are gone. He did great! No problems! House looked just like we left it. Would highly recommend!!”

“Aida did great with our girl Faye and the updates and pics she sent were so helpful in keeping me calm. This was the first time we ever used Rover and our first time leaving Faye alone since her pup brother crossed the rainbow bridge so I was pretty nervous. If you're thinking about reaching out to Aida, I would say definitely give it a shot! She has a lot of positive and friendly energy that your kiddo will love! Thanks Aida!”

“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Ketzia was great - she dog and house sat for me, and she was very reliable and communicative the entire stay. She gave lots of updates w dog pics thru her stay, and even cleaned the place up exactly how the house was before she stayed ( I'm a clean freak and she was super clean). I'll use her again and recommend you do too!
Kari did a great job caring for our dog and 3 cats. She was prompt, communicative, and provided nice pictures. None of our pets seemed at all stressed out by our being away for 5 days. The house was clean and orderly when we returned. All of our instructions were followed exactly. We wouldn't hesitate to engage Kari again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Andover
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Andover on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,339 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.

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.
