“Eryn was amazing dog sitting at my house. I was very worried about my nervous pup, how he would be for the week; but apparently as soon as I left, he was fine! I especially am grateful for Eryn extending her stay unexpectedly, when I had flight delays and could not get home in time for the original time. She even handled the huge snow storm like a pro, because she is. My pups very obviously adore her and I hope to hire her again soon!”
“One of the best and thorough dog-sitters to date. You would be foolish not to hire her. I got regular updates and communications about my pup, down the consistency of his poop. The best! Hire her! She is the “Dog Nanny” “period”!!!!!!”
“This was my first time with Julissa and everything went great! Banner always takes a little while to warm up but seemed to warm up quickly! Came on time and sent lots of photos!”
“Molly was wonderful with our high needs elderly dog. Molly was communicative, responsive, and sent many updates and photos throughout the day. We hope to have Molly watch our dog again and highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Having Julie G house sit and care for my 85 lb. hound Dave was dreamlike. She seemed to accept and appreciate Dave and his coonhound ways seamlessly from the jump. She took copious notes about Da daily needs and expectations at the meet & greet, asked intelligent questions about his routine and I was able to leave town completely confident Dave was in good loving hands. She sent me daily pics and reports while I was away, and left Dave mellower and the house cleaner than it was when I left. A terrific experience from my perspective Can't recommend Julie G strongly enough as a house and hound sitter.”
“We have only been away from our fur babies one time in all of the years that we have had them. They are both rescues and came from horrific pasts. The one time that we were away, a familiar family member stayed overnight with them. That being said, the decision to leave our fur babies (and our home) in the care of someone who was unfamiliar to them and us was a very stressful and uncomfortable feeling. After reading/reviewing numerous profiles and talking to/meeting with a few potential sitters, we were blessed to meet Georgia. We felt it was a perfect fit, on our end, shortly after she arrived at our home for the initial visit. Watching how Georgia interacted with our high energy and anxious dogs was heartwarming. Also, the fact that she was not bothered by Gunner's tearing/suckling of his blanket (which he has done since we rescued him and prior due to his anxiety) was a relief. Gunner and Zohie (as well as myself) immediately picked up Georgia's calmness and friendly nature. Georgia was extremely patient and open with me while I bombarded her with question after question and detail after detail about our dogs. At the end of our first meeting, I nervously asked Georgia if she thought she would want to take the responsibility of caring for our dogs and home while we were away. When Georgia said she was willing to take care of them, it was such a relief. Then I asked Georgia to come and spend more time with them/us again, prior to the overnight. She said, "Yes, of course!" and I felt that we had hit the jackpot! Prior to and during the stay, Georgia responded quickly to my numerous messages/questions/check ins. She sent us pics and kept us updated. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we left it and the dogs behaved as though we were not away. This made us feel as though they were comfortable and relaxed with Georgia while we were away. Georgia is truly invested in building relationships with pet owners as well as the pets. It is clear that Georgia cares about her responsibilities, loves animals, and takes this position seriously. She is a true gem and we are already talking about going away again very soon.”
“Ace did a fantastic job with our busy puppy! She kept us updated and sent many pictures of our happy dog. The house was left in great condition! We would certainly use Ace again any time and recommend her 100#. Thank you, Ace for a great job. You put our minds at ease.”
“Charlie had another great stay with Jessica. She was attentive to him, letting us know his chronic cough was increasing. She managed it well, professionally and patiently, with permission from us to give an extra dose of one of his medications. She communicated with us throughout the stay-”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“We booked Brianna last minute. She made time to come and meet with us and our pup. She took great care of Roscoe and our home. Sent lots of pictures and was good with communication. Recommended!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of energy, long walks, playtime, and plenty of slobbery love. 🐾 I also adopted a cat, which taught me that sometimes the best way to win a pet over is to let them come to you (and maybe offer a few treats!). Although my own pets have since passed, they gave me years of experience, amazing memories, and a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m patient, playful, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure outside, a game of fetch, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to be their new buddy while you’re away! ❤️ I currently own my own business and make my own hours and work from home, so I can easily make my own schedule fit around any pet care! I'm lucky to have an open, comfortable and clean home where I can walk animals on the many acres I live on. I can also crate animals if that's how they are trained. When in other people's homes, I'm incredibly conscious of being considerate, following directions to respect their space, and understanding how the animal uses and loves the space.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Alissa is always welcome in our home and does a great job with Pixie, making sure she gets her walks in and plenty of snuggles in between. She is dependable, and we appreciate that she asks questions if needed.Pixie and her family look forward to having Alissa’s help in the future 🥰🐶”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and reliable care. I’m new to Rover but I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress free experience for every pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following your pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, respect, and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently a part-time barista, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I carefully plan my work around my Rover bookings so I can provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’ll follow your feeding, walking, medication, and potty routines exactly as instructed. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, reliable, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet.
“James was great. He watched my house for a couple nights at the last minute, which really helped us out in a pinch. He was on time, respectful, and good with our dog ace. He sent us pictures throughout the day. Left the house just as we left it. I would recommend him and will definitely reach out again if we need someone in the future.”
About: Calm, quiet environment with a sitter who craves doggy time. My 12 year old black lab recently lost her fight with cancer. Not ready to bring home a new dog, but would love to care for your precious fur babies while you are away. I offer patience and attention to your canine's needs. I'm a human nurse but also experienced with dogs special needs such as insulin administration. I work Monday-Friday, Home on weekends. No young children. Available for walks, dog Parks (dog park with your approval), or hanging out in the yard secured on a 50 foot lead. Dogs are not left outside unattended. You're welcome to bring your pets favorite toy for us to use during their stay. Will try to keep them on your schedule for easy transition from home to sitter. I speak to animals as of they can respond. Days are better with happy pets! Friday drop-off at 5:30 pm. Sunday pick-up by 8:00pm. I have a large yard and a spacious house. Spend weekend around the house doing small projects, crafting or cleaning. It's a quiet, stress free household with a very flexible schedule. While I miss my own pet I'm looking to offer a love-centered environment similar to children visiting their favorite Aunties house.
“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pups for a long weekend and was incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and communicative the entire time. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was so nice being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about a thing. She also went above and beyond in ways we never expected. She brought in packages, did laundry, washed the dogs’ bowls, and somehow left our house even better than she found it. Our pups were clearly well cared for and loved, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We’d absolutely book Katherine again and couldn’t recommend her more.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Athol Junction is $60

Eyrn was absolutely wonderful with Bagheera! From the moment we left him, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Eyrn was attentive, responsible, and clearly genuinely cared about Bagheera’s well-being. We really appreciated the updates and the care and attention given to him throughout his stay. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Bagheera came home happy and well cared for, which says everything! We would definitely trust Eyrn with Bagheera again and highly recommend Eyrn to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Eyrn! 🐾❤️
Brooke was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We reached out with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages, photos, and videos which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs were getting plenty of love, attention, and great care while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups! We’d absolutely book with Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Athol Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Athol Junction on Rover is $55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,103 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Athol Junction. 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 Athol Junction 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 Athol Junction 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 Athol Junction 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 Athol Junction. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
