“We had a great experience with Ritaj. Our dog takes some time to be comfortable with new people and Ritaj gained her trust within 15 minutes. She was dependable, communicated regularly with us sending pictures and videos, and was extremely attentive to our dog. Would highly recommend her!”
“Maureen is an exceptional pet sitter. She took care of our fur babies when we were on a 15 day cruise. She sent pictures, short videos and updates every day! She's very conscientious about our pets physical and emotional well-being. We never worry about our pets when she's taking care of them.”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Bobbie S is an amazing dog sitter. She took such good care of our dogs and followed our instructions to the letter. Our dogs were in such a relaxed and happy mood when we returned just as if we had been there ourselves. 6/5 stars.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats reptiles since I was 10 years old Friends Neighbors , family they have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets especially if they need a long walk or a run I have experience from puppies to senior dogs and handling medication. I’m currently not working at the moment so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m mostly available all days certain Saturdays and Sundays after 3:00 pm I have a fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs I take on walks they can keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or handle any special medication if needed
About: I've had pets of all ages my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, lizards, and fish 😊 I feel comfortable caring for them and know they feel comfortable with me. I enjoy playing, being active and walking with them. Please reach out and I'll help you feel comfortable with your pets needs. I'm retired and have a very flexible schedule. Reach out and I will do my best to accomadate your needs for your fur baby's care ☺️ I will provide care for your pet in your home, so they're schedule and comfort is not disrupted. I work for you, so you tell me what works best for you!
“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!”
“Tyler watched my very senior Dane and followed all instructions. Couldn’t be any happier. He kept in communication. I came home to a happy healthy dog which is all I want. I will definitely rebook with Tyler.”
“Anna took great care of Buddy and constantly shared pictures and updates that kept me at ease. Buddy clearly loved his time with Anna and we will definitely be working with her again! Very grateful for her ❤️”
“Narges was very nice and professional and even agreed to show up ahead of the housesitting dates to meet our cat, Olive. She sent us pictures and updates multiple times per day and the house was clean and neat when we returned.”
About: I bring a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I’m an EMT with training in K9, CPR, and basic first aid, and I’m especially patient with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have a mini Bernedoodle of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and love every dog deserves. I work rotating day shifts anywhere form 6-12 hours starting early in the morning. When I am not working I hike and go on runs to stay active. Transparency is very important to me. If I’m unsure about something, I prefer to ask for clarification rather than make assumptions. Animals are our best friends, and I believe in kindness, patience, and clear communication. I also take pride in having integrity when it comes to following directions exactly as given to ensure each pet receives the best possible care.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From fostering and eventually adopting my beloved Boston Terrier to raising six cats and caring for two large Labradors over the past two years, I’ve gained a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. One of my latest adventures in pet care has been preparing fresh, homemade meals from scratch every week for the two Labradors I care for. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of nutrition, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I also have extensive experience with house sitting and caring for pets while their owners travel. I regularly look after a friend’s beloved Bulldog while she’s away at her second home in Austin, Texas. One of my biggest pet-sitting experiences involved caring for six animals under one roof, three dogs and three cats, including a dog who required daily medication. I managed everyone’s individual routines, meals, and needs while their owners were away in Los Angeles, and everything went wonderfully! I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households, large breeds, cats, and animals who need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I take pride in making their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. I also know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your beloved pets in their care. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time as an Esthetician, my schedule varies based on seasonal business changes, due to being at a resort. I have a lot of time off to dedicate to animals. I do not have set days off besides Fridays, but with enough notice I can make anything work. At home my pets have set meal times and bed times, but during the day are allowed to come and go as they please through the dog door and within the large acre fenced yard. How ever you’d like my time structured with your animal I will abide to. I am very flexible and know each family runs their homes differently, I am happy to help however you see fit.
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
“Tally is so sweet and kind! She kept great communication the whole weekend and really loved and cared for my three dogs. The house looked awesome when I came home too! Will definitely use her again.”
About: I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and 1 lizard. I have dog sat for family and friends for years. I dog sit on weekends at a senior dog boarding with up to 16 senior dogs at a time. I have experience giving oral, topical, ear/eye drops and injections to both dogs and cats. I have volunteered with TNR, helped rescue cats and finding them loving homes. I have been a medical assistant for 16 years and I’m currently in nursing school. I am a nursing student with classes Monday-Thursday, I'm available evenings and weekends. I love all animals, I can walk dogs, I can stop by for house visits and do overnights. I have lots of experience walking 3 dogs at a time, its challenging but very do-able. I have 4 cats so I am very vigilant of keeping them safely inside. I open the door carefully every single time and always make sure windows are closed and screen is intact. I am a little ocd with cleaning and making sure there is nothing toxic or poisonous in the house that can cause them any danger. When walking my dog Lola (who likes to eat everything) I am constantly scanning for things she might want to eat like chicken bones, old food or anything that might smell good to her. I will get it out of her mouth if she manages to get to something. I am very aware of my surroundings and checking that the house is safe.
“Cristen was excellent with our two Mini Schnauzers! She is very friendly and professional. She went above and beyond our expectations. We have already hired her for our next trip and will continue to request her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bostonia
Maureen was perfect for our Harlow, she was prompt, friendly, loves dogs and sent us tons of pictures and videos while we were away. She went above and beyond while she was at our house, picking up dog poop (which we did not ask her to do) and even brought in our trash cans! We will definitely be using her again!
We had a great experience with our Arianna! She stayed overnight with Remy and took great care of him. She sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, and was very reliable even when I had some cell service issues and wasn’t always easy to reach. We came home to everything clean and exactly as we left it, and Remy was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!
Brittany is the kind of pet sitter you hope to meet on this app. She went above and beyond from the start. I left on a 9 day trip out of state which was the longest I've ever left my pup and was a bit nervous since this was my first time using Rover for pet sitting. Brittany agreed to a meet & greet prior to booking, was down to earth, genuine, answered all my questions, and I could see how much she loved dogs when she met mine. During my trip, she was fast to respond when I reached out, sent so many photos of my fur baby and honestly went above and beyond the entire time. She asked for local park recommendations, for detailed instructions about his feeding schedule and really made sure to check all the boxes. My pup also sadly got an ear infection right before and she had no problem at all caring for that on top of everything else. I will 1000% be booking again with Brittany for all my future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend you do too!
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.
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.
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bostonia is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 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 November 2026, there are 6,279 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 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 Bostonia. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
