“Sarah was very responsive and kind and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very grateful for her communication and reliability, which gave me peace while we were away. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Maureen did an amazing job. She bonded beautifully with my dog. She also frequently sent me detailed messages and photos about her activities with my dog, as well as the dog's bowel and bladder functions, and eating. Overall she did an outstanding job.”
“Courtney took amazing care of my fur babies, managed the house during the chaos of construction in my back yard and provided regular updates to put my mind at ease. Recommend a ns would use again!”
“Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.”
“The communication and updates were exceptional!!! I felt So confident that our pups were being treated well and getting all the love! My rescue pup has never let anyone besides my partner and I touch her, and this weekend tee sent a video of her petting the pup on her bed! Will 100% hire her every time we need pet sitting/drop in needs!”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️
“Brandy was wonderful. We left a list for her to know Peanuts routine . Brandy did everything! Peanut seemed very happy and content when we arrived home, so I know she was well taken care of. We would absolutely have Brandy watch again!”
About: I’ve had a guinea pig, a bunny, and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal person. And I help my friends out by taking care of there pets. It depends on the my work day sense I do freelance contracting for production work. But I would have to what day you would want to book me for and times. It depends on how friendly the animal is and how many days I am pet sitting for. But I will feed, bathe, play and be around to watch what they do.
“We had an amazing experience with Lilliana. On very short notice we needed a pet sitter for a dog we rescued. And over the winter holidays! Lilliana did an amazing job both following our directions and using her discretion for topics not covered. She was also in regular contact and responsive to our messages. She sent us photos and our dog looked like he loved their time together. 10/10, would recommend.”
“Our flight got cancelled and Maria came to the rescue! One of our two dogs is very nervous and it is always scary for us to have someone walking into the home without us there. But because they know and love Maria, we knew that our dogs were in good hands when she stayed with them for a few hours when our trip home was delayed. How they react to her is a good indication of the care that she gives them.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was young & we always had a dog and tortoise in our house growing up! When I moved out on my own I adopted a pup of my own (the most lovable Boxer ever) who was my companion for 9 years until he passed away recently from bone cancer. He took daily supplements and medicine, so I’ve got some experience if that is needed. In addition to my own fur baby, I’ve taken care of family & friends’ pets in my home and theirs. Dogs, cats, tortoises, and guinea pigs. Love a good walk and play time with dogs or cats! I’m currently working Monday through Friday, but available for early morning or evening walks and/or drop ins. Weekends available for the above or overnight sitting. Happy to crate your pet or hang out with them, whichever you prefer that won’t stress them out or vary too much from their typical routine.
“100% recommend Alexzandria!! From the time I started messaging her she asked all the right questions about my dogs. She was very flexible and communicated well! I got daily updates without prompt! I was worried about finding someone for 2 dogs, especially one being a puppy but this worked out perfectly!”
About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.
“Absolutely loved having Alexis was our fur babies. Will definitely be wanting to rebook with her in future for any trips we may have! She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent many pictures. 🥰”
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Donatella made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated and had open communication throughout her stay with our pup. Will definitely be working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”

Absolutely outstanding!! She is by far the best dog sitter I have ever had. She kept me updated, sent photos, messages and calmed all of my worries. Even my dog, who is so afraid of strangers, warmed up to her. Donnatella's patience and understanding went a long way in relieving the anxiety I felt leaving my little one in someone else's care. I cannot recommend her highly enough. By all means, I will ask her to dog sit every time I'm out of town, and you should, too!
Jenny took amazing care about Fredo and was very communicative during the whole process. She was even able to extend her stay on a short moment's notice. She took extra special care of the house and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for responsible and reliable dog/house sitter.
Victoria provided excellent care to our Sr. Spaniel. Victoria is an experienced pet sitter and we enjoyed meeting and communicating with her during her home stay. She provided excellent care to our Sr. Cocker Spaniel, making friends quickly and sending us frequent updates. We highly recommend Victoria S. to other Rover users in our area.
Sarah was wonderful with my 2 girls. They have never been left home alone and Sarah took the time and drop in visits to get my Rottweilers use to her and me to feel comfortable with being gone for the week. She made my girls happy and save while I had to go out of state. She sent photos morning and each evening. Sarah is a very special person, I'm so happy I found her.
Angie took great care of Ziggy while we were away for almost two weeks. She took him on lots of walks and sent us pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was happy and well cared for. Ziggy seemed to really enjoy his time with her, and we came home to a happy pup! Would definitely book Angie again in the future!
Angelina was fantastic! We received regular photos showing our dogs happy and being themselves. She stayed in our home for about 10 days and everything was the same as when we left. Hopefully she stays around San Diego and will watch our dogs again in the future. It can be hard to find people to trust to watch your family and stay in your home.
Daisy was great and we would recommend her to anyone. She was our first pet/house sitter ever and she made our experience great. We came home and the house looked just like we left. She was great at sending pictures and video updates while we were away as well. Responsive, friendly, good w/ animals. Would absolutely book again.
Lindsey is our go to sitter and did a great job taking care of our boys as always. She is so sweet with them and sends daily pictures. She is resourceful when challenges come up and you can tell she really loves animals. We always feel at ease when our boys are with Lindsey and highly recommend her :)
Charles took our booking last minute as we had exhausted our options for care for our older reactive pup, he knew what he was doing when it came to the meeting and knew how to handle Avi, Avi loved Charles, and Charles paid close attention to our little needy situation with Avi and executed everything perfectly, will definately book again as im afraid Avi will wonder what happened to his new friend 😁
Cristen again is amazing. We have two Great Danes who demand attention and Cristen steps right up and gives it. We got new place and Cristen did great in it and kept it clean and great. Our kids love having her and are always pooped out when we get back. So glad we found Cristen!!!
Katelin was amazing! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she really cared and was attentive the whole time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bostonia on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,236 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bostonia. 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 Bostonia 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 Bostonia 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 Bostonia 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.
