“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”
“Alexandra did a very good job house sitting our dog, Luna. She took her on long walks and communicated with us at least once a day. She has also become a favorite of Luna.”
“Julie-Anne was an excellent dog sitter. She communicated very well. Sent photos & gave us up dates. She stayed at our house & gave our dogs love & snuggles. We will use Julie-Anne again.”
About: I studied in the Veterinary Assisting program at Nashoba Valley Technical High School for 4 years, and graduated in 2025. During that time, I passed the TVMA Veterinary Assistant Certification (CVA) test. During this time, I became proficient in all of the skills a Veterinary Assistant would be expected to perform, and knowledgeable on relevant topics. I was also the recipient of the Certificate of Merit Achievement for Nashoba Tech’s Veterinary Assisting program. I had an amazing dog of my own who I loved and took care of for 10 years. I have also owned a guinea pig and taken care of numerous family cats throughout my life. I have been taking care of other people’s animals since I was 10 years old, watching the pets of family and friends. I am familiar with the care of all sorts of animals, not just limited to typical household pets. I have a lot of experience with animals with unique needs. My skills include fear free restraint and general handling, wound treatment, administration of medication, providing proper enrichment, and use of CPR. Here are some of the relevant certifications I have received: RESCUE- Veterinary Infection Preventionist Certification (September 2022) OSHA 10-hour Veterinary Certification (June 2022) Fear Free Certification (February 2023) Some of my other achievements: Recipient of the 2023 Massachusetts Student Achievement Award Member of the National Honors Society and National Technical Honors Society Selected attendee of 2023 MIAA Student Leadership Conference If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am working part time as a doordasher, babysitter, and house cleaner, and my schedule is very adaptable. I prefer to schedule things at least two weeks in advance to keep a neat schedule. The farther out you book with me the more likely I am to be available, but I will still try my best to fit things in if they’re last minute. I take special care to ensure the animals I care for feel comfortable around me and are comfortable in their own homes. I always make sure to clean up after the animals and myself.
About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications. Will stay at your home with your pets to help them be as comfortable as possible and stay on routine while their owners are away. Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I send updates and pictures so owners know their babies are enjoying their time too! I currently work part time as a veterinary technician, my shifts are between 5-7 hours Monday through Friday. Can do potty breaks during the longer shifts if needed. I stay in your house with your pets so they are comfortable in their own environment and follow their regular routine as much as possible. Plenty of time for exercise and play!
“Jaylin was perfect! They came over before the stay to meet my dog and get a feel for my place, and they had an amazing time together while I was gone with lots of shared photos. Will definitely book Jaylin again and recommend to my friends!”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Summer while we were abroad for our wedding and honeymoon. We were so grateful that she stayed at our house, which allowed Summer to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment while we were away. Summer immediately liked Rachel and was snuggling with her on the couch right away, which gave us confidence from day one that she was in great hands. Rachel also sent us lots of pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind and really allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“We seriously could not have asked for a better dog sitter for Archie. Meaghon took amazing care of him while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind the entire trip. Communication was excellent with updates, photos, and check ins that made it so easy to relax knowing Archie was in such good hands. When we came home we could immediately tell Archie was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell Meaghon genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. She was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. We were so impressed that we have already rebooked with her again. Highly recommend Meaghon to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pets!”
“Ben was amazing! This was the second time he watched Harry and Harry LOVES him. He was so excited to see Ben again (we were chopped liver as soon as Ben arrived). Ben stayed at our house over the weekend and was a super respectful houseguest. He kept our place super tidy and brought us the most delicious gingerbread cookies. Thank you Ben - we can't wait to have you watch Harry again!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
“We're so glad we found Annie! She is caring, mature, and intelligent. I would use her again in a second. Our orange cat loves everyone but our senior dog is wary of new people. After two introductory appointments/interviews, it was clear to us that she was a good fit. We were gone for 7 nights and by the end of the week, our dog was sleeping in with her! Annie was responsive to any questions we asked during the week, and sent us updates with pictures. On top of all that, she watered our plants and left our home spotless. 5 STARS!!!!”
“Jody did a great job for us while we were away on vacation. Our 2 dogs enjoyed her company and she even worked with our pup on walking etiquette. We left rather detailed instructions, including watering outside plants, and she followed them to a T. I would highly recommend booking with Jody and we will be also!”
About: I have worked at two separate dog daycares, one of which was part of an animal hospital, which I also worked for! I have experience with grooming, basic first aid, and providing enriching environments for our best friends. My future goal was once to become a certified dog trainer, and while I still have a passion for training, I have pivoted back to college for psychology. I am now a Registered Behavior Technician and work with children (and young adults) on the autism spectrum. Hilariously, a lot of the same skills are used in both fields, since they are behavior-based. I have a lot of experience with dogs with special needs! My own dog, Chandi, who passed in 2025, had an incredibly sensitive system due to a birth defect for which she received surgery, and could only eat a very specific diet. There have been many times when medical attention was required. From working at home and at the animal hospital, I have experience with administering pills, ointments, ear drops, eye drops, liquid medications, removing ticks, and more. If your dog has special needs, I believe I am very well equipped to handle them! Most of my evenings are available! My only restrictions are a class from 8-9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I am unavailable on Saturdays (unless I am dog-sitting). I would offer an enriching environment with lots of stimulation and attention. I would prioritize your pup's physical and emotional needs and tailor my plan for them accordingly. Every pup has their own personality, and I love to navigate a new bond. I am absolutely fine with your pets sleeping on the bed with me! I honestly love it.

I had a great feeling about Anastasia from the moment I read her profile, and she absolutely lived up to it. My two 100+ lb dogs can be a handful, but she took on the booking with confidence, and everything went smoothly during her week with them. We received consistent updates, and they always looked happy and relaxed. When we returned, they were not only happy and calm but even better behaved, which really says it all. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Shara was the best pet sitter we could have asked for. We could tell she treated our pets like we would have, and they were more comfortable when we came back home because of it. She watched our dog and two cats for two full weeks while we were traveling. She was very accommodating even with last minute adjustments and coordination with others. One of our cats can take weeks to warm up to people, and he warmed up to her in two days. She sent pictures and videos of our pets every day, showing they all got treats, playtime, snuggles, and long adventures for our energetic golden retriever. Her regular updates and consideration for our pets made us feel confident throughout our vacation and is why we'll be going back to her in the future. I could tell they were spoiled while we were gone, but I didn't realize Shara would be giving us that same treatment. We returned home from a long trip exhausted, and she had washed our towels and sheets, put them on the bed for us, and she had left the home cleaner for us than we left it for her. She's the best, and I know our pets and us can't wait to see her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bolton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bolton on Rover is $55.5 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 6,020 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bolton. 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 Bolton 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 Bolton 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 Bolton 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
