“Olivia was wonderful to my pups. She responded quickly to my initial request and was able to take care of my pups, even with short notice. She sent sweet pictures and videos while I was as away. We’ll definitely be using her again.”
“I would definitely recommend Alex for your pet sitting needs! We came home to two happy dogs! Alex checked in often throughout the weekend which was much appreciated. Thank you, Alex! :)”
“Betsy provided great care for our girl! Communication before booking, during our meet & greet, and weekend away was excellent - and loved the photos of our girl throughout the time we were gone. Rita requires a little extra care, as she is in a wheelchair, and we were glad to have Betsy!”
About: A lifelong dog lover, I finally have the freedom to do what I love most: caring for dogs and making sure they have just as much fun as I do. I have 2 dogs so once they are cared for I’m yours and I’ll will be ready to care for yours !! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups b I walk my dogs twice a day I play with them I take care of them when they are sick !! Mostly I give them lots of belly rubs & snuggles
About: My experience spans from all age ranges dogs. I have spent time with young puppies still learning to sit and be comfortable on the leash to older dogs that need a little help with stairs. My schedule is pretty flexible but might change in the near future. I'm available anytime throughout the week and can work out a good schedule that's best for all parties involved. Whether if it's inside or out, I'll make sure your pets will be safe and secure at all times while you are away.
“Heather is the best! She and my dog became fast friends. She’s so attentive and really communicative, which is such a big deal when you’re leaving your pet with someone! Would recommend her to anyone, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Eron is such an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, was super accommodating of some unexpected work happening at our house (and then left the house in perfect shape), and was so good with our anxious dog. We felt very confident during our week-long trip that our dog was in great hands and would love to work with Eron again in the future!”
About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sonya provided while we were away! She took amazing care of our dog, giving him lots of love, attention, and exercise, and it was clear he was very comfortable and happy in her hands. Our home was spotless when we returned. Sonya kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is responsible, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime!”
About: I always had a family dog, but since getting my own dog, I've learned how train inside and outside of the house. I love doing activities based on the dogs breed. I have experience house sitting for two senior dogs. I also have experience doing drop-in visits. My current job allows me to accommodate dog visits and dog walks. There is no boarding at my home. I am accommodating, just reach out! I live in an apartment complex that is dog-friendly, and I do a lot of outings with my dog to different parks, trails, etc. The current care I provide for the two senior dogs I visit is feeding, letting them out in the backyard, and administering medicine.
About: I have dog sat and walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for the last eight years and approximately two years ago adopted my American Bully, Cane Corso mix named Clementine. I even trained her to be a therapy dog through a lot of training and education. I am comfortable working with rescues as well. I love working with all breeds, but specifically I love working with bully mixes too!! I am comfortable with medication administration, as well as working with dogs that have recently had surgery. My dog had TPLO surgery and took six months to recover so I’m willing to support in that process as well! I also have experience working with rescue dogs. I currently work full-time as a social worker, but I am looking to help with pet sitting on the weekends or dog walks earlier in the morning. In my home, my dog is on a strict schedule which includes brushing her teeth twice a day, administering medication in the morning, a structured walk and enrichment. For your pup, I can do whatever is needed!! my dog is also crate trained, and has been training to be a therapy dog. I am comfortable with dogs that are reactive to other dogs as well. I am able to do boarding in my home but your dog would have to be comfortable with my dog so we would have to do a meet and greet. I do not have a fun fenced in backyard, but I live on a rail trail and take my dog on walks there often. I am also comfortable with dropping in visits, walks, and overnight pet sitting.
“Abigail watched my two pups for the first time and was able to win over my skiddish dog who typically takes a while to warm up to people. She was prompt with replies and even walked the dogs!”
“Veronica is very pleasant and friendly. She took great care of Marley, taking her for her walks and playing ball with her. She gave her all the attention and affection she needed. Marley loved her and when we came home she showed us her affection for her. We would be happy to have Veronica take care of Marley anytime in the future.”
“Chantal is so wonderful and kind. She was a great communicator and sent us pictures while we were away. She took great care of the house and was attentive to our pets. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your pets.”
“We are incredibly grateful for the amazing care Jackie provided for our Bernese mountain dog Zeus. Stepping in on short notice and staying at our home was a huge help, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jackie is reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. We would absolutely book with Jackie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Zeus!”
About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have hands-on experience caring for them through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and relaxed with me. I’m lucky enough to do pet care full-time, so your dog or cat will be my main priority all day long. Since I don't have a typical 9-5, I can basically be a 'stay-at-home pet parent' for your furry family member. My day usually starts early with a long walk and breakfast, followed by plenty of playtime and snuggles throughout the afternoon. I’m rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I really pride myself on keeping their routine exactly like it is when you’re home. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I’m extremely respectful of your space and follow all house rules and safety protocols to the letter. Because I don’t have a fenced yard at my own place, I prefer to focus my energy on yours—ensuring doors are always locked and pets are never left unsupervised in unsecured areas. I prioritize high-quality one-on-one time, follow strict feeding and medication schedules, and love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun we’re having!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boscawen
Bonnie really filled in to dog sit at the last minute for us. We appreciate not having to think about returning home quickly and we were able to enjoy time spent with our friends knowing she was well taken care of. I am also happy she has had some experience giving insulin injections for future visits with Lucy.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Steph! She went truly above and beyond while we were away visiting family. She took on extra house responsibilities with such grace, gave Gatsby exceptional care (especially when he experienced a scary seizure), and made sure everything was taken care of while we were gone. After a long day of flying across the country, I came home to an incredibly clean and welcoming house. It was very clear that Steph did so much extra without ever being asked. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind she gives us. I was able to fully enjoy my time with family and stay present without constantly worrying or checking in because I completely trust her. Steph is reliable, thoughtful, compassionate, and truly treats our home and pet with care. We have used her multiple times, and each experience has been wonderful. We are so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond!
Brianna was wonderful. She was very flexible in our needs. She visited twice before we left and came to our house to be inside with the dogs when we left. She was so good to our dogs. I could see on the ring camera that they loved her. Every time their tails were wagging and they were looking for her attention. She took them i On walks daily and fed them which is a project because of medicine their in, she is reliable, very nice person. And you could tell she liked dogs and was very good to them. She communicated every day with us. She left the house cleaned, which was wonderful. I would highly recommend Brianna as she was great.

The average cost of House Sitting in Boscawen is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $88 per night.

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 Boscawen 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 Boscawen 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 Boscawen 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boscawen. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
