“Johanna was so attentive to my anxious little guy, taking the extra time and care to experiment with different ways to coax him to eat his less preferred soft foods after his oral surgery. She kept everything clean and tidy for me, was responsive and even proactive, and provided detailed updates twice a day as I requested. She even left a thoughtful hand written note for us when I got home about her stay, it was really special and I feel lucky to have found her on here. Big thank you Johanna, and highly recommend!”
“Brougan did a great job taking care of our home and our pets while we were gone for a week. He checked in, sent pictures. The pets seemed to really like him. We would definitely ask him to sit for us again.”
“laurin took great care of my dogs - two senior pups. she made sure special instructions were followed and ensured there were frequent checkins. great communication and left home clean. pups were very loved with laurin!”
“This was my first time hiring Becky for my two senior dogs. I was nervous because one of my dogs gets special food and medications. She is also pretty sensitive and emotional, so when we go away, she is sometimes very depressed. Becky was able to win both dogs over quickly and everything went great! Communication was stellar with messages and photos a couple times per day. That was much appreciated. 😍 Becky was respectful and easy to work with. She stayed at our house during the days we were gone and everything was very tidy and clean when we returned. I was really relieved and happy that our first time with this sitter worked out. We will use Becky again for sure!!😊”
About: I started dog sitting when I was 14 years old for friends and family. I have always had at least two dogs in my life. Nothing makes me happier than a happy pet. I am an experienced pet sitter with plenty of experience walking dogs as well. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend. I have full flexibility as this is my only job. My availability should be completely open to whatever helps you and your fur baby’s needs. I want every pet to be as happy as possible. I will take care of/love your dogs as they are my own. Making sure they are able to exert their energy while also getting the proper love is always my top priority. Will be sure to update you as much as possible with some pictures as well.
“Summer did a great job watching our house and our animals. We would book with them again. We hit major traffic on our way home and Summer offered to stay longer with our pets which we really appreciated. :)”
“Sophia was so wonderful!! She was very sweet, sent me consistent pics of my corgi with great communication, & left my house looking just how I left it. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Thank you ❤️”
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“Simonne is the best!!! She did an outstanding job with our two dogs!! They both warmed up to her immediately. She kept us updated with pictures and treated them like they were her own. It is clear that she is an expert in caring for animals. We were so happy to find someone we can trust with our dogs and we hope to have her dog sit for us again in the future!”
“Mckinzie took excellent care of our pooch, house and yard! She was very sensitive to our shy dog’s personality and they ended up good friends! We appreciated her quick response time too. We will definitely use Mckinzie again in the future!”
“Chloe did an amazing job. She checked in. She sent pictures she walked them and played fetch with them and made them feel right at home while we were gone for our anniversary! She stayed in touch and even washed the guest bedding for us as well. We have her coming again next weekend! Thanks so much Chloe!!”
“Bryan was fantastic with our dog! She was well looked after and he left our house clean and in good shape at the end of the sitting visit. We highly recommend Bryan and would use him again.”

Just a wonderful person. We will defenitely be reaching out to her for our future time away from our babies.”

“All good with Ariana! The puppies Chidi and Ellie had a great time playing with Ariana's puppies, everything was in good order when I returned, no complaints from the puppies! Thank you!”
“She took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She kept us updated, followed instructions, and made sure the pups were comfortable and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and everything in great shape. Thank you, for helping make our trip much less stressful! Most importantly, she was very sweet to our babies, and that means the world to us. 🐾💕”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I remember. I currently have 5 dogs that live with my parents in Southern Indiana. They are dogs of all types of breeds and sizes, most of which we raised from puppies. The most recent dog, was found in the woods behind their house and I spent hours picking ticks off of him. I just moved to this area and I already miss my dogs so much. I truly love dogs and will take great care of yours! I currently don't have a traditional job so I am free pretty much anytime to look after your pups and give them the care they deserve! I am really good with dogs of all sizes. I will be available for daily feedings, walks, and will have the time to play a long as they wish.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boston Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boston Harbor on Rover is $38.85 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 1,866 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boston Harbor. 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 Boston Harbor 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 Boston Harbor 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 Boston Harbor 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.
