“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
“Guillermo took great care of Huck and our home! He sent photos and updates daily and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He left our house neat as a pin, and even gave Huck a good brushing and bath!”
“Nikki was fabulous with our pup Basil! Basil was able to thrive during their several days together, and as an over 15 year young dog with senior care needs, this was especially important to our confidence in being able to leave him with someone. Not only was Nikki attentive to Basils needs and the details of his daily care routine which included his daily medications as well as his daily playtime and romps outdoors, but was also incredibly supportive of him the first night when he was experiencing separation anxiety from us. Nikki kept things running like a well oiled machine and was very proactive. When our refrigerator decided to break down while we were away, she alerted us of the situation and proactively moved an entire refrigerator of items over to our second refrigerator in the garage. It has been several months since we have been able to travel and we now feel comfortable having Nikki on board. We highly recommended her for pet sitting services! Just say yes!”
“Julia was awesome with Bonnie. We had a meet and greet prior to leaving her with a new sitter. Bonnie is 80 pounds and leash reactive. I wanted to make sure Julia was able to handle her in walks. She definitely was. You could tell she is around animals a lot and knows how to care for them. We left Bonnie for two nights with Julia. Bonnie was happy and well taken care of. Our house was also well maintained. She was clean and very neat. We have rebooked her for a trip we are taking in October. Thank you Julia for taking great care of Bonnie.”
About: Hi! I’m Mary Evelyn! I am a full-time preschool teacher with summers off. I love to care for other people‘s pets and put families at ease while they enjoy their summer. I grew up in a house full of pets. We had two dogs, a cat, two ferrets, two parakeets, and a rabbit. Unfortunately, my husband is allergic and we can’t have a pet full-time in our house. To fill that void, I spend my summers loving on your fur babies! My children, 10 and 12, are also animal lovers and often are with me caring for the animals. I am a loving and gentle nurturer. I treat your pets just like my own. This is not just a job for me. This is a choice to keep animals in my life because I know the joy they bring. I love to provide owners with pictures and updates, as many as you want and need. I’m also happy to take care of anything at the house that needs tending – mail, plants, cleaning, etc. I look forward to connecting with you! I have full availability over the summer and I am willing to accommodate any kind of schedule. During the fall and winter, my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. My preference is to care for your pet in your home. My kids (12 and 10) sometimes accompany me, as they also love to care for animals and are learning how to be productive and responsible. If you prefer I solely care for your animals, that is completely fine. I always defer to the client and their pet's needs. If I'm providing boarding in my home, the animal will be restricted to our first floor. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I would provide frequent walks throughout the day.
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
“Nicole took such great care of all three of our furry men and our home! She provided prompt communication, pictures, and went the extra mile like brining in our trash cans, etc. at the house. Thank you Nicole!”
“Cat is such a trustworthy person, I never have to worry when she’s caring for my pets. I have used her multiple times and every time I am so thankful for her help.”
“5 stars! Theresa came over for a meet & greet on very short notice and asked all the right questions. She checked in frequently and sent lots of photos of my pup. When I came home after a weekend away my girl was relaxed and I could tell she was well cared for.”
About: I don't have any experience on pet care but would love to get experience I do have two cats of my own and love pets I do play with my two cats and put food and water down and I also play with my sisters three dogs and four cats The way I care for pets in my house is I play with the dogs and cats and I left the dogs outside if they need to go out
About: I always pay attention to a pets body language, even my own. I also have knowledge of CPR and the Heimlich maneuver on animals and how their size will change the approach. I have a lot of free time to safely, smartly, and comfortably take care of your pets while I work on my physical therapy education The trust of a pet is incredibly important to me. With cautious animals, I always make an effort to show I am not a threat and listen to the signals from even friendly animals.
“Sydney took good care of our pups while we were gone! She was available to help us on short notice when another Rover canceled on us at the last minute. We will definitely consider her again on our next trip!”
“Jocelyn was great with our two dogs Lexi and Ruby while we had a weekend away. Great communication and she sent photos and video. We’d definitely have her stay with our dogs again in the future!”
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. All the dogs i’ve ever had have been fosters. My family and I always loved providing a home for dogs in need! I’ve had dogs of all kinds and sizes and cherished them all! I’m current unemployed and very open! There are no conflicts in my schedule at the very moment. I’m excited to potentially see your pup or pups! Listening to guidelines or instructions set by owners is the most important! You know your pet the best. Otherwise I will provide loving, safe, and attentive care at all times!

Mary was very kind and accommodating to our senior dog Ellie who doesn't get along with other pets. She made her feel right at home and looked after her over the holidays. She was very responsive and sent regular updates and photos. We would definitely reach out to Mary again for pet sitting services!
Afrikah is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is a great communicator who bonded with our dogs, asked great questions, sent photos and updates each day. We came home to happy, tired dogs and a clean house. You will be lucky to get Africah for your dog/ house sits.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Billerica on Rover is $47.73 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 6,483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Billerica. 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 Billerica 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 Billerica 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 Billerica 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.
