“Absolutely the best. We are crazy protective pet parents and we felt completely comfortable with Becky. She sent lots of photos and videos. She took our dogs for lots of walks. We think that really helps with their stress levels. Both our dogs acted like they missed Becky when she went home. That is exactly what you want from a dog sitter. She took great care of our house as well. Will definitely use her again. We feel like Becky is part of our family now.”

“Sarah was a great sitter for my high energy cattle dog. My dog also has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for longer than 3 hrs at a time, it was great she was able to stay with him at my house the entire sit so he wouldn’t get lonely. She had Great communication and sent me pictures. I would book her house sitting service again!”

About: I have extensive experience with equines, dogs, cats, fish, and most reptiles.

I am great at communication and can often accept requests with little notice! I am very confident with my animal care and handling.

“Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!”

“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”

About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.

About: I grew up with all sorts of pet friends: frogs, geckos, dogs, and cats. From a year long pet sitting gig to one of my regulars that has geese and ducks! Let me know how I can provide peace of mind to your family while you're away. My work from home position and my Wednesday-Sunday work schedule gives me a unique position that most others cannot provide. I am home bound for work during typical "social days" and love to have pets of all kinds as my coworkers! Everyone's needs are different. I personally have two indoor cats that I would never let out. But, I know others who have an outdoor cat they take on walks. Understanding that each pet has a different personality, routines, and temperament is the key to making sure everyone's needs are met.

Roberta did it all and kept us on our toes! Thank you for a great week while Dad was away, we much appreciate it!”

“Words can’t begin to describe how much Erica went above and beyond to nurture, care, and absolutely SPOIL (!) our dogs during an overnight stay! Her communication was fantastic, the house was left in pristine condition, and our dogs couldn’t have been happier. She even took the extra time to tend to our dogs’ special needs (we have a geriatric little one and very hyper golden retriever), and she sent thorough videos and pictures that brought us much joy. We were blown away by Erica, and would be so lucky to use her in the future!”

I am a crazy furmom and I have a long list of directions that she follow to a T. She handles all of their needs - behaviorally/otherwise without issue. On top of that she takes care of the house and leaves it as clean/cleaner then when we left it. We appreciate having someone who is reliable and that we can trust! And plan to continue to use her services in the future!”

About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.

About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.

About: I’m home Monday–Friday and available on weekends with advance notice. I live in Beachcrest, with a private trail to the beach and plenty of dog-friendly parks nearby. If your pet loves exploring, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for beach adventures, walks, and play! My home has a large deck and yard, though the yard is unfenced. Pets often enjoy sunbathing on the deck or checking out my fish ponds. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and colleagues for as long as I can remember. I have experience with pet first aid, medication administration, and senior animals, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home. I'm very flexible so just message me and I can find a time to accommodate you. Whether it's early morning or late at night. I'll be there! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. When I arrive, I like to have a little pow-wow with the pets and, yes, I sometimes have conversations with them. 😂 I’ll always make sure they have clean bowls, fresh food and water, and plenty of potty breaks, along with any walks, medications, or special care they need. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience in doggy daycare, kennel care, boarding, animal handling, and maintaining clean, safe environments for animals. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and behaviors. Through my professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and understanding animal body language. I’m especially interested in dog behavior and training, and I enjoy building trust with animals at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or has a personality all their own, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets and respecting your home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and follow your care instructions closely. I love working with all kinds of animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and individualized care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or otherwise wonderful family members! 🐸🐱🐰🐶🐠❤️ My day-to-day routine includes caring for animals, keeping their environments clean and comfortable, and making sure their individual needs are met. I enjoy staying active, learning about animal behavior, and providing pets with attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. When caring for your pets, I prioritize following their normal routines, including walks, feeding schedules as instructed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort levels and strive to provide consistent, reliable care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing. I stick to schedules and routines, I believe being a great pet sitter means more than just providing food, walks, and playtime. It means being patient, attentive, dependable, and understanding how to make each animal feel secure and respected. My experience has taught me the importance of recognizing animal body language, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and adjusting my approach to each pet’s comfort level. When you trust me with your pets, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving thoughtful, personalized care. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, checking in on your pets while you’re away, or staying in your home to keep them company, my goal is to treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on!

“Naina house sat for my two dogs and two cats. She was great with communication providing updates and photos each day so I knew everyone was doing great. She also kept up on a complex medication schedule for the dogs. The house was clean and tidy when I got home which relieves a lot of stress with frequent business travel. Thanks Naina - looking forward to having you here again (next stay already booked)!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Boston Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Boston Harbor is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,819 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 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 Boston Harbor. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
