“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.”
“Leaving our dog and cat can be difficult, but Dawn took the stress and worry away. She is thorough when meeting the animals and collecting information, and thoughtfully provides updates and pictures while we’re away. She is wonderful!”
“Leah took wonderful care of our dog. We were nervous having never used Rover or having a dog sitter before. Leah is professional, kind and caring. She sent several updates with photos. She is also thorough and reaches out with any questions that come up. The best part was coming home to a very happy and loved dog. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our pup while we were away. Would highly recommend.”
“Autumn did an amazing job for us, and on short notice! Unfortunately, we had to find another sitter a couple of days before our trip, and Autumn stepped up big time! She met our dog's needs while we were gone, ensuring he was okay with the 4th of July fireworks and that he was happy and getting enough exercise throughout the days. She was great at keeping us updated on how things were and ensuring everything was going smoothly. I would definitely recommend Autumn, and we look forward to her watching our dog again.”
“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.”
“Yoshi absolutely adores Alexandra, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Her communication is always timely and thorough, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Yoshi, and we love her just as much as he does! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been helping family and friends care for their pets for years. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, baths, and lots of attention and affection. Spending time with dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I follow care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am a law student at UNH with classes in the morning and late afternoon. I am free mid-days and in the evenings, and am free every weekend. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and keep a calm, clean environment. During walks, I stay alert and use secure leashing at all times. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep doors, gates, and food stored safely. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Grace stayed at our home for 9 days while we were in England. Our hound just didn't do well boarding and he loves the routine at home. Grace was the perfect professional, fun, loving and listens to even the quirkiest routine (like... our dog hates closed interior doors and will howl). We will certainly book Grace again. Thank you for loving our clown-Hound like he was your own.”

“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!”
“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Jazmin was fantastic. She took great care of our house and made sure our two senior dogs were well cared for and loved for the week. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept home. Highly recommend, and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
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.
“Wow! Sophia is absolutely incredible! She was so flexible with our schedule, and when I got back from vacation, my house was spotless. Plus, my puppy adored her! We are incredibly grateful for all her help. Thank you so much!”
“Michelle and Ken took great care of our cats (one with special needs) and our house. It brings such peace of mind to know we can enjoy our time away and not worry about anything at home. Highly recommend!”
About: My family has had pets my entire life, and I've grown up with dogs and cats, so the question of how many years of experience I have is difficult to answer. I have a lot of experience being around animals, but I obviously was not the primary caregiver for our pets during my childhood. I am very fond of animals (of course), and would love to get to know your furry friends and help them get out and about! I'm a student in college at UVM, so I am around to hang out with your pets in between and after my classes! Because of the way they are spaced out, I'm usually free midday or in the afternoon/evening. I put a lot of care into making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy while in my care. I keep a close eye on them, and stick mainly to quieter roads that I'm familiar with on walks.
“Andrea sent many pictures and made sure my cats were very well taken care of! She also did an amazing job at giving one of my cats her daily pills. While my cats were in her care I didn’t have a single worrying thought about how they were doing, making my vacation super relaxing and stress free! She’s the best!”

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 $57.61 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 437 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.
