“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.”
“Dawn was amazing!! We could go on and on about the safe and friendly care that Dawn gave our two doggos while we were out of town but what really was the most comforting was the detail and picture/video updates of how they were doing throughout our two day trip. We would definitely recommend Dawn to others and will certainly be booking again!”
About: Hello! I have taken care of my own, family, and friends' animals for over 15 years and those in the community going on five years. I've worked with most breeds and ages. Size does not matter whether your best friend is 5Ibs or 150Ibs! I have a flexible schedule and can work with you on times. Whether it's walking, visits and feeding or all of the above I'm happy to help. I have experience with senior dogs and their sometimes more complex needs, including medical. For all services I require a meet and greet first. For house sitting, I don't do over nights but can be there very early and/or late and happy to work from your home and give your dog(s) as much interaction and breaks they need. For daycare in my home, I require a meet and greet with my dogs, preferably on neutral ground such as a local park, or my yard if needed. Dogs are just like humans, sometimes they're best friends sometimes they aren't and my number one priority is the safety of all animals. Dogs need to be okay with kids. My children are very respectful and I've taught them from a young age how to interact with dogs and read their body language, and give them space. But I know not all dogs have had positive experiences with kids. Don't worry about size or puppy rambunctiousness- they are used to that! I have extra crates if needed or prefered. I don't do off leash, your dog may be great off leash and have awesome recall, but I'm a new person and your dog might be anxious or just not as focused with someone new. Again my priority is safety, after all this is your best friend and family member! I have ground tethers that give them a large range to free roam, explore and play. I also use 30ft leads for fun walks in woods or local hiking trails. Feel free to ask about cats too! I love cats and am first and foremost a crazy cat lady. I've sat for all ages and levels of feline pickiness. I've done meds, including injections for kitties too. I work from home and as a result have a flexible schedule. I take time out of my day regularily to walk, play and be with our dogs and yours, it's a great way for me to break up my day and get to know the great dogs in the community. When caring for your pets I take great care to be respectful of your space, only going where I need to for your animals. I make a point to clean any pet mess and ensure they are secure before leaving.
“Brianna was wonderful! From first meeting it was clear that Brianna would take great care of our fur-babies. Brianna checked in regularly with both updates and questions. Our dog, Tandy is a rescue who has been with us less than a year and was so well cared for she didn't have any set backs upon our return. We will definitely have Brianna back!”
“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! :)”
“Grace was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter! From my first meeting with her, I knew that our dog would be well cared for. She exceeded our expectations! I was able to enjoy my vacation because I was confident in Grace’s skills in meeting the needs of our senior dog. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we are looking for someone to pet-sit and would recommend her to anyone looking to use Rover's services!”
“Autumn responded quickly after my initial request and all subsequent communications. The meet and greet went well. She kept me up to date with text and pictures during the housesit, and left the house and yard in great shape. I would not hesitate to have her help with my 3 pets again.”
“We loved having Sophia stay with our pups! We threw a bit of a scheduling curveball her way and she was so thorough in making sure she was there for our girls when they needed her. She kept me updated on all their activities and sent along pictures as well. Would 100% recommend Sophia and will use her again in the future!”
“Paige is very easy to work with -- flexible about scheduling, responsive to questions, and very reliable. She has provided dog walking, drop-in, and house/dog sitting services for our very anxious dog. We recommend her highly.”
About: i have had 5 puppies from rottis to my pug and a cat as a kitten to senior, i have had fish, mice and snakes i am up by 530 to take bruno for his first walkies, then of course throughout the day. He is fed 2 times a day with treats off and on. There is cuddle time most of the day when i am home. i cuddle, we play fetch, hide and seek and run around. i change his water 2 times a day. he has bathes 1-2 times a month
“Andrea was great with our boys!! She shared photos regularly and was communicative about her timing and any questions upon arrival. We would love to have her sit for the boys again!”
“Zachary was very responsive and was flexible working with me to nail down a schedule that worked for both our availability. I so appreciated his help watching Winnie when my flight was significantly delayed - he was happy to come back and I was so grateful that she was cared for when I couldn’t get home on time. He cleaned up before leaving and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend Zachary to take care of your dog. Winnie seemed very happy with the care he provided. Thanks!”
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!
“Charles is the best! He took great care of my two dogs over a 9 day housesitting stay and came out best friends with both of them, including the shy one that takes time to warm up to new people. He left such thoughtful notes on how they did, made some really great judgement calls on the fly, and is just a great person to have around. I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Chris was an awesome dog sitter! Kept up updated on anything urgent and besides that was on time and made sure our pups were well cared for while we were away. Would highly recommend! Thanks Chris :)”
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boscawen
Bonnie was amazing!!! We were in such a bind and reached out to her the night before a four day, three night trip. We would not have been able to go if it wasn’t for her. She stayed at our home and cared for our three animals. She treated our house and things with respect, sent us daily updates with pictures of the animals, and was reliable and communicative. She was professional, friendly, and the dogs and cat loved her immediately. I will not hesitate to use her services in the future. Thank you Bonnie!!!!
Autumn responded quickly after my initial request and all subsequent communications. The meet and greet went well. She kept me up to date with text and pictures during the housesit, and left the house and yard in great shape. I would not hesitate to have her help with my 3 pets again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boscawen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boscawen on Rover is $53.83 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 418 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boscawen. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boscawen. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
