“Delaney W was great with my Jack Russell Terrier. She communicated with me and left photos. She was punctual and informative. I did not worry at all about the care my dog was receiving. Thank you, Delaney!”
“Illeana is a repeat pet sitter for our two dogs and cat. They are well cared for and happy when we get home. Anna is communicative and very respectful of our home. Highly recommended!”
“Adorable was awesome and so flexible with our changing schedules! She was so nice and sent multiple photos and updates throughout the night on how our dog was doing! Definitely reccomend! ☺️”
“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”
“Austin watched our dog at our apartment while we were away for a weekend - he was great and our dog loved him and seemed super happy when we came back. He sent lots of pictures and assured us everything was going well and he left our house super clean! Will absolutely book him again when we travel next and highly recommend!”
“TJ has been excellent with the dogs and was able to pick up a couple of extra shifts. He is very professional and polite and always with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is also very timely and respectful of my home.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. I dog-sit and cat-sit, and I have even bird-sat before. I have shadowed dog trainers and aided with behavioral therapy dog certification tests, and I volunteer at Best Friends shelter for dog walking. I am very adaptable to what works for each dog, because I know everyone has individual needs! I won't tire or get short with a puppy, and I can just provide companionship and support to senior dogs :) I know how to read a situation and how to avoid a stressful or potentially volatile situation with another dog, and as such, I will act accordingly because nothing is more important than keeping you pet safe and happy! For the background of my pet experience, in my parents' home, which I grew up in, all our pets (2 cats and a dog) have their own beds on the floor next to mine, as well as one or two others in the living room, basement, etc., so they can always hang out with us. We have a yard where they go out and play in or get sun, and take them on walks on the daily. For my cats we have 2 cat trees, and it turns out they prefer window sills and beds anyway, so we leave blankets out for them. We feed them 2x a day with wet and dry food, and will give dental bones to our dog and treats usually daily. In your home, I wil respect all your house and pet rules, treat your things and pets with respect, and give them love and attention until you return home! Pets are what brighten my day. When I come home from school, the first thing I do is greet them, and when they greet me with a smile on their face and their tails wagging, I forget the stress of the day. They make my whole life better. I try to dogwalk at the local shelter on weekends, and say hi to any and all dogs I meet (obviously checking in with the owners first) I currently live in an apartment with a roommate; however, she will never be left alone or in any way in charge of caring for your pet. I will never leave your pet alone with her or anyone else for the duration of their stay with me. They will be given treats and food as you dictate, and they will be loved, cuddled, walked, and treated as the King or Queen of the house. I promise to cherish your pet as if they were my own, because I know (and I am of the opinion of this too!) they are more than pets, they are family.
“Such a great experience! It was our first time with her and she met my shy doggy twice just to make sure he would be ok! I got pictures daily and she genuinely cared for all his needs. My home was spotless and she was so helpful!!”
“Natalie was amazing. She took great care of my older cat, anticipating what he needed to be more comfortable. She sent updates and photos regularly and left the house clean and neat. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan is the best! I booked her very last minute for a Saturday after my arrangements for someone to watch my dog fell through. She responded immediately and arrived right on time for our appointment. She stayed with my senior Chihuahua mix all day on a Saturday and he loved her. I'm very attuned to my dog's moods and he was definitely in a better mood after spending the day with Morgan. She has a very kind and positive demeanor and the type of good energy that dogs pick up on. You can totally trust her with your fur children. I hope to use Morgan again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a proud mana of a Chihuahua girl, named Bailey. She is 13 yrs oldWe just lost her best bud, Tater. Toward the end we had him in a stroller for walks bc his quality of life was important to me, as will your beloved pets’. I only take in 2-3 dogs at a time because I want to be able to give each dog lots of attention & TLC. I’ve always had pets growing up; dogs, rabbit, iguana, gerbils, so taking care of animals is a natural instinct. I’m always outdoors doing something active, so your pet is guaranteed to get ample exercise. We treat each dog as if it were our own. They have the run of the house and can sleep where they land. Im a dog mom with 1 dog at home and 2 kids in school. I’m free weekdays and some weekends to take care of a pet. I can accommodate dog walks best between 9-1pm on weekdays while my young kids are in school. I have a fenced in yard and wide open space behind my property which connects to endless trails. My dogs like the company of other animals but I also have the option of keeping them separated.
“Erin was wonderful! She filled in at the last minute, which we really appreciated! She was great with Bessie and Bo, and she sent us updates! Definitely gave us peace of mind that our pets (and our house) were in good hands! We look forwards to having Erin stay with Bessie and Bo again in the future!”
“Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 25 years and will treat your dog like my own. I will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”
About: Hi! I’m from Brazil and looking for pet sitting opportunities in my free time. I have two dogs back home — one is a 9-year-old pitbull with skin cancer, and the other is a rescue who also survived cancer. My love for animals runs deep. I’ve always cared for them with all my heart, and I’d be happy to do the same for your pet! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life because it combines my love for animals with my flexible schedule. Taking care of pets feels natural to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and do with heart. I’m available for dog walks and pet sitting at your home! I love spending time with animals and will take care of your pet with lots of love and attention. Let me know how I can help!
“Melissa was great! She watched our beagle last minute for an entire day, who is often shy and scared of strangers and she warmed right up to her. We felt good knowing our girl was in such great care. We would definitely recommend and book Melissa again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Billerica
Isabella was so easy to schedule with and made time to visits before our trip. She kept the house clean, kept me updated daily with a picture and was so professional and polite throughout the process. Hoping Isabella is always around when we are headed out of town!
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 of House Sitting in Billerica is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

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.
