“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.”
“Alex is an amazing sitter. She made sure all my animals were well taken care off. All the needs of my cat, dog, and guinea pig were met. Being that this was our first time leaving our rescue pup, she really put our minds at ease with her concerning demeanor of making sure all my animals were comfortable and kept on their daily routines and even sent daily photo updates! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter who goes above and beyond ?”
“Shayna was awesome! My 9 year old lab was comfortable with her from the moment they met each other during the meet & greet. She did a 3 night stay in our home and cared for our pup and 2 cats and sent texts and picture updates each day/night showing they were in good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her for future sittings! Thanks again Shayna, you rock! I’m sure my pets miss you already”
“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: 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.
“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.”
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.
About: I had a pet dog growing up, and I have frequently dog-sat for my parents. I now find myself under employed and looking to make some extra money while spending time with dogs! I'm currently working part-time, with the option to work from home, so I am extremely flexible. I live in downtown Concord within walking distance of 3 parks, so near constant access to the outdoors is a bonus! I live in an apartment that allows dogs of all sizes and breeds. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do live on the ground floor and have a lead attached to my deck for when I'm hanging out on the deck I also have a pet cat, so ant dog staying in the house would need to be cat savy.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea was able to watch our dogs very last minute before Labor Day. Very seamless. Great communication and dogs enjoyed her around. Will definitely use again in the future.”
About: I am a small business owner with previous experience working as a veterinary technician in emergency veterinary medicine. I have owned animals my entire life and have two cats of my own (both of which were rescues). I am compassionate, patient, and friendly. I adore meeting and taking care of your babies! I own a small craft business on the side so I may be unavailable some weekends but am flexible with availability! Pet care is passion of mine! I will take the time to introduce myself to your fur baby and make sure they are comfortable with me! We will make sure we go on walks or have plenty of time to play! I will love your babies like they are my own! They aren’t just pets, they are family.
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!
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.
“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.”

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.
