“Laura was amazing! Super sweet. Great communicator. Stayed in touch with us every step of the way. Sent pics and left our house just as we left it. Will definitely be rebooking her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jill! She took amazing care of my three large dogs, and I could tell right away that they felt comfortable and happy around her. It’s not easy managing three pups with different personalities and needs, but Jill handled it all with such ease, patience, and love. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, the dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. Jill is responsible, trustworthy, and truly has a heart for animals. I’m so grateful we found her, she’s a total gem and we can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”


About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am athletic so I am great at keeping up with even the most energetic pets! I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit and dogwalked for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life. I work from home and varying hours between 3-8 pm on Mon-Fri (Usually only 2-4 hours in the studio at a time), so I have plenty of free time for care! I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!
“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!”

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”

About: Your dog deserves more than just a hard kennel where countless others have stressed and panted awaiting someone to unlock the cage and let them out for a potty break - they deserve someone who genuinely cares for them and their comfort. Whether you need a midday walk, a quick check-in, or a cozy overnight stay while you're away, your pup will be in caring, attentive hands every step of the way. I am an experienced foster for ACDRA (Australian Cattle Dog Rescue), I have had the joy of loving dogs my entire life, and raised 8 of my own in adulthood. I will treat your dog like my own and do my best to keep them comfortable and stress levels down while you are away. Expect plenty of cuddles, outdoor adventures, and real-time updates so you never have to worry about how they're doing. I'm available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, for drop-ins, dog walks, boarding in my home or overnight stays in your home. I have a one acre yard that is not fenced. I walk dogs on a leash or put them out for quick potty breaks on a run out my back door. I have a gated deck for sun bathing, pool time and fresh air. Inside, I believe in slow introductions with resident pets. I have a gated living room where your pet will stay while my two dog-friendly dogs get to know them. If all introductions go smoothly, they may eventually get some dog play time, but I do know how to read dog body language and will not move forward if anyone seems uncomfortable. As a dog foster, I have introduced many dogs into my home successfully!
About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

“Christina came to pet sit on fairly short notice but was up to speed very quickly on care for both my senior dog and cat. She was very professional, reliable, responsible and communicated every day with me sending texts and photos updating me on my pets welfare. I was able to trust her and enjoy my trip away worry free. I will have her back again very soon as it was a great experience for myself and my pets!”

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Andover
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Andover on Rover is $76.59 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 1,781 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.
