“Erik is such a great communicator and super responsible. Our puppy just loved cuddling and playing with him and she’s already looking forward to our next night out so Erik can come back!”
“Dakota did a wonderful job pet sitting for our two dogs (and chickens) for an overnight visit. She was prompt, communicative, kind and attentive throughout the stay. She was able to administer prescribed medication and took great care of our home. We are so appreciative of Dakota and will definitely book her for future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“Huanchi was available short notice and came by to learn about my pets and the house before an overnight sit. He sent nice updates and left the house as clean as he found it. Would host him again.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with three Labrador Retrievers and three cats, as well as a parrot and lots of fish. In college, I worked with a company in Lowell as a dog walker and trainer. I was also an animal technician and customer service representative at a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming facility. Currently, I work at a veterinary hospital and am passionate about providing quality care to both dogs and cats. I am available most weekdays for drop-ins after 3 PM until 8 PM. I am also available most Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM, and can stay overnight if needed. I will provide your dog or cat with the upmost quality of care. With your pup, we will go on safe and enriching walks on leash or off leash, play with fun chew toys inside or outside, and indulge in yummy treats. I encourage all the snuggles and love to chill with them after a fun day of zoomies.
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Jess was fantastic and showed Clay a lot of attention while we were away. She was very quick to respond when we had questions and sent lots of pictures during her time with Clay. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur child while away from home.”
“We have had good and bad experiences on Rover. Hiring Robert to housesit with our cat and dog was a GREAT experience. He’s extremely professional, responsible and communicative. During the meet and greet he asked great questions and wanted to make sure the pets were comfortable with him (which of course they were). During his stay he sent updates and followed our instructions for both pets to a T. Our pup is picky about his food and also takes a medication so I was worried he’d give Robert a hard time, but not issue at all for him! Thank you so much for being such a great sitter for our boys and for taking such good care of our house.”
“Kelsey did a great job housesitting with our cat Sasha while we were away for the weekend. She arrived on time, sent updates (with photos) a few times a day and was always quick to respond. The last time we left Sasha with a sitter she was stressed out and didnt eat while we were away. However, Sasha played, ate and used the litterbox as usual with Kelsey. We also came back to a very clean and neat home. We will definitely be using Kelsey again!”
About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.
About: I have a Rotty. Prior to her, I had a basset hound. Your dog will be a piece of cake, trust me! Due to the dangerous nature of my dog breed, I am naturally more cautious to every dogs needs and can handle them accordingly. I walk my reactive dog daily. She is also very active and slightly territorial. She is well trained and obedient with a good response time. I come prepared with toys and treats, depending on dogs sensitivity. I allow dogs time to sense my aura before approaching their spaces. I have years of training experience from other trusted dog owners.
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic; Barry went above and beyond to make sure our house and animals were all taken care of while we were gone. He was communicative, attentive to our dogs and cat and left our house better than we did when we left 🙂. Would 100% recommend Barry and will use him again if we need care.”
About: Big animal lover with multiple years of pet care experience! I am excellent with patience, and learning each individual pets needs. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I make sure every pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve! 🐾💕 I currently have all the free time I can get and decided walking or taking care of dogs could help keep me busy and helping out where I can! I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love while keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bolton
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Bolton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night.

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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
