“Marissa and her son are fantastic! They communicate and send pictures often. She follows our detailed care instructions. Her knowledge as a vet tech means our two dogs are in very safe hands. She also takes good care of our house and makes sure it is clean and tidy upon our arrival. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter they can trust their pets and house to.”
“Eleanor was great! Would definitely work with her again. She was willing to come the day before to meet my dog, brought in a package that came, and sent us pictures while we were gone. She took great care of our dog by taking her on an extra long walk. She also had great communication through the day letting us know when she got there/left. She did amazing!”
“Alex did a super job. She asked good questions to understand my pup better, and was very attentive to her throughout the day. I look forward to using Alex’s services again real soon.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
“Jackie was so amazing! She gave my babies their medicine and cleaned them daily. Very respectful and kind. She sent pictures daily and watched my cats for just about 2 weeks. I’d definitely book her again if needed!”
“During Beth’s stay she left me feeling very stress free and confident that our Ollie was in good hands! She was communicative during the entire time and provided updates. We loved seeing our pup happy! Will definitely book with Beth again!”
“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“Priscilla is the best! Daisy loved her! We are staying down in the San Diego area for a few days in our motorhome. Priscilla came out to the RV park and watched Daisy so we could go out and explore the area for the day. She kept my wife updated, and kept Daisy busy. The best sitter we have found on River so far!”
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”
“Amelia was helpful, responsive, and incredibly responsible with both my pups and my home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dogs. The pics she sent me throughout the day were welcome and her amiable demeanor helped myself and my dogs relax.”
“Our dog Bo loves Sarah and we’re so happy he feels comfortable around her. He’s pretty high energy so she will take him outside and play fetch which is his favorite! She’s also really patient with him because he can be a little temperamental and we appreciate that!”
About: I am always available to work. Can work with difficult schedules or last minute emergency’s that come up. Every time I watch a dog, I make sure to give them my full attention and make no plans. I make sure to give them all my time. I don’t schedule any personal time that requires me to be away from them. I will make sure to include any activities that I can take your pet with me so they are not alone. Plenty of room in the house for your puppy to play and run. Also live really close to make different trails and hikes to take them to play and walk.
“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Emma was a lifesaver! She jumped on a last minute request to take care of my dogs and spoiled them with love, cuddles, and care. She kept me updated the whole time, which really put me at ease, and treated them like her own. My dogs were so happy with her, I’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you Emma!!!❤️”

Krista has been such a wonderful companion to our senior dog. She is very attentive to his energy level and is careful to adapt his activities as needed. For over a year she has provided walks, drop in visits and home stays. She is professional, reliable, and respectful of our home. We our so grateful for her services.
Alynna looked after our dog, fish and house while we were away. She provided frequent updates and was responsive so we could relax while we were away from home. It was clear everything and everyone was beautifully and thoughtfully cared for. Absolutely recommend!
Beth has been so great! Frank was thrilled to see her again, and she clearly enjoys spending time with him. She is great about following my directions, and takes such good care of.him and our home. It is so important to be able to trust the person staying in your home and caring for your canine family member. So happy to have Beth as our sitter again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Greatest person to watch your dog. Very flexible with any times and treats your dog like one of his own. And he takes great care of his dogs for sure. Tyler will dedicate the entire time you book to making your pet feel like a rockstar and it doesn’t get any better than that.
I'm so happy to have found Charlene! She stayed with my dog Frank for 3 weeks and sent daily updates with photos. She followed my instructions, watched for a deliveries, and was so nice. Most importantly, she enjoyed spending time with Frank, and he enjoyed it, too. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands for a longer than normal trip. She even left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left! I'd love to have sit for us again and highly recommend her.
We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boal on Rover is $53.28 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 5,970 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boal. 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 Boal 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 Boal 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 Boal 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
