“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I create a calm, positive environment and make sure pets get plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and worry-free.
About: I’ve always had a heart for animals and have volunteered for organizations to donate to animals in need! I have helped take care of dogs and cats for coworkers, friends, and family and have been a trusted source for care for many years. I currently work part time and am a full time student online but am flexible with my current work schedule and will fit your pets needs in before my own :) Since I have two cats in my home, I do not offer in home services. However, in your home, tidying up your home while I’m there and cleaning up after your pet will be a number one priority!

“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”
“Josh took great care of our dog this week while we were away. We really appreciated him keeping us informed and connected while we were on a trip (via pictures, videos, and updates). We are repeat customers and will not hesitate to contact Josh whenever we need someone to care for our dog.”

About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A
About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs

I am avaliable to stay in your house and share time with your doggies and keep them safe and enjoy each moment with your pups.
“Heaven was amazing with our little Totopo! Not only was she super responsive to texts and messages prior to booking her for dog sitting, she kept sending us pictures and videos of our dog while we were away, which kept us in the loop of how our pup was doing. Our dog totally loved her from the start! And she was great with him, treated him awesome, gave him treats, even taught him some new tricks. She really went above and beyond. It was our first booking with here but I am sure it will not be our last!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
“Lexi was terrific. Jack and Duke don't like most people but they spent last evening looking for Lexi after she'd left. After we had a meet and greet with Lexi I had no worries at all about leaving the pups with her. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 688 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boyleston. 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 Boyleston 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 Boyleston 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 Boyleston 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.
