“Allison was great. My dog really adored her. She quickly responded to my request, and came over to meet my dog before spending time with him so she knew his routine. She stayed at the house, and left it the way I left it. Would definitely recommend her.”
“We loved Whitney! She was so patient with our rescue dog. We were very comfortable with her in our home. She took good care of our rambunctious bossy female pitty/mix. We would definitely higher her again!”
About: I've spent years hands-on with animals through my volunteer work with Saint Nicholas Animal Rescue and Merrymac Farm Sanctuary, and years of pet sitting growing up in NYC so caring for your pet isn't new to me, it's something I already do because I love it. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets who need a little extra reassurance. I treat every animal in my care like it's my own: regular check-ins, plenty of attention, and a personal update from me so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. I have a dog myself and have had a cat(s) most of my life. I have taken care of cats that needed medication as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now, my schedule is flexible since I'm building my own business, so I have real availability across weekdays and weekends rather than being squeezed into just a couple hours a day. I check in consistently and never rush a visit and will do my best to work around your schedule. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. In my home, my dog Monty stays in his own separate space when I'm caring for a cat, so there's no stress or unwanted interaction. I keep a calm, quiet environment, follow any care instructions exactly as given, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. Growing up with dogs my entire life, I know the love and attention they need! With my experience I know routine is important to most furry friends so I will try my best to keep them calm and comfortable. This is my first time on the app but I have experience with walking and taking care of many different types of dogs so I hope I will be able to form a bond with your animal! I work a full time job. I am available to take care of your on the evenings where you are out late and the your weekend get aways. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”
“Melissa was wonderful! She stayed at our place for two nights and took very good care of our dog and our house. Was promt and good at communication with sending photos and updates. She loves the outdoors so if that's what your hoping for look no further!”
“Giuliana is an excellent dog and house sitter. She exceeds all expectations that I would have had for anyone taking care of our dogs. We actually could have a vacation and a rest away, without thinking about our animals, who seem to have had a blast without us. Giuliana cares deeply about the animals and will be a thoughtful, bright and very attentive caretaker of your dog(s).”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and have owned pets throughout my life. I've owned a very reactive dog, so I have experience with helping animals feel comfortable around new people. My girlfriend and I don't currently own pets, so doing Rover will help fill that void in my life. Hope I can provide you with some relief that your pet is comfortable and being properly cared for. I'm a travel nurse and am currently on a break between contracts. So, I've got plenty of free time throughout the week to watch your pets! Happy to swing by and take your pets for a walk, or just simply provide them with a little attention or playtime. I'm a big believer in leaving a place as good or better than how you found it. So, if you need me to stay at your place, you can rest assured that you'll return to it in good condition.
“Bailey was wonderful while we were away during fireworks weekend in Burlington VT. Our 7 year old black lab greyhound is an anxious boy and very skittish with the booms and the bangs. Bailey kept him calm and relaxed without all the meds we suggested merely with her own relaxed self and a bit of music playing in the background. We received updated texts and photos helping us not to worry, our boy has a new friend and we have an excellent sitter. Reach out to her, she’s communicative, reliable and personable. You’ll appreciate her as much as we did!”
“Morgan is incredibly professional, thoughtful and detail oriented. She took great care of both my home and pets, asking great questions and handling issues with grace. She checks in generously, which I appreciated on my two week trip to Japan. I trust her implicitly with my two seniors pets!”
About: I live an active lifestyle and have the flexibility in my schedule to walk dogs the way they deserve! I have been caring for my own, family, and friends' pets for my entire life. There are few things in life I find more enjoyable than the simple happiness of hanging out with a pet. I really love training exercises, and believe mind exercises are just as important as physical. I believe that pets are family and should be treated like gems, which in my opinion also includes physical exercise and healthy (but yummy) treats! I can't wait to help you care for your family member! I have a flexible schedule from December 2026-March 2027 to accommodate your schedule. I do not offer any at-home care or boarding at this time, sorry! I care for my own pet like he is my child, and treat others with similar compassion. Every morning and every evening I take my own dog and frequently my house mate’s dogs for a half an hour walk around the property/in the woods. I keep schedules/routines consistent and provide daily supplements for fur, teeth, mental, and joint health. I keep routines strict and provide an excess of outdoor engagement to keep my own pets and others’ pets happy and thriving. Every pet deserves a happy healthy and active lifestyle.
“Kayleigh was great with my babies! She constantly communicated with me and kept me updated on how my dogs were doing. She did her best to get them to eat and be as comfortable as they could be. She genuinely seemed to enjoy them which gave me peace of mind and made be feel like they were being well taken care off. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
“the true test of how good a sitter is returning to calm, adjusted pups. we have 2 rescues that get very anxious when we leave them. We came home to excited, but happy dogs. we loved having Pascale stay with them. she sent lots of pictures and always responded quickly. we will ask her to watch the boys again.”
About: Hi all! I am a professional in the medical field at UVMMC who works remote part-time with ongoing afternoon/evening availability and weekends. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now have an adult rescue dog who I have completed successful dog training with for reactivity, anxiety, recall -including ecollar work. I have cared for friends dogs, and followed all of their routines. I can administer meds, go on runs, take them to the dog park, or fulfill any need/quirk. I am excited to hear all about their personalities and continue whatever training or routine that you have got going on for them. I treat dogs like they are children to be cared for! I work in healthcare, but I’m often available for midday walks during the week. Some nights of the week I can do a walk. I am intermittently available for either one or two weekend days/nights that welcome other dogs into my home to stay, potentially the whole week! Let’s have a meet and greet with my friendly guy first. I take dogs on walks in a quiet neighborhood and within 5 minutes I can run to an off dog park that is usually quite empty.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bolton
Sarah took such great care our house and two dogs for 4 nights. Our 6 year old golden had some stomach issues the days leading up to Sarah's stay and we felt we were leaving him in good hands. She handled his medicine and special diet perfectly and sent us daily updates with pictures. We have been looking for someone to stay with our dogs on vacations and we found our person. The dogs miss her already.
Kelsey treated our girls like her own. She played with them outside in cold temperatures and knew when to bring them in if they got too cold. She sent us twice daily updates on how the day was going including photos. It brought peace of mind especially since this was our first time leaving our pups with someone other than family. She kept our house tidy and put or garbage cans to the curb for pick up which we appreciated.
Kelsey was very thorough with her care of my dog Moshe. She was very experienced, knew right away how to connect and was a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a wonderful and caring Dog Sitter. I will be definitely reaching out to her again when I have additional dog sitting needs. 5 star for Kelsey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bolton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $84 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.
As of October 2026, there are 419 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 , 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.
