“Catherine was awesome - we had 3 pups under her watch and all were looked after great (walked, fed, and played with) and had a fun. They were tired when we got back, so we know they enjoyed it!”
“Flex absolutely adored spending time with Deb. All the walks and sniffs and treats he could want and more. Deb took extremely good care of my boy- we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Pamela was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch Willie Nelson, and we are so grateful. She arrived right on time, kept us updated throughout, and was so communicative and thoughtful. Willie was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell he was well cared for. We’d book Pamela again in a heartbeat!”
“Leonardo was excellent! He was super communicative and very sensitive to our pup who can be a bit nervous especially with fireworks. He left our house just as he found it. We would definitely recommend him and book again! Thank you.”
About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have so much puppy love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).
“Janiya was so great with my senior cat! My cat gets medication 2x a day, and Janiya was great about giving it to her and providing me with regular updates and pictures. My cat can be slow to warm up to people, but she was sharing the bed with Janiya on the first night, which made me feel really great. I would and have already booked her for another in-home sitting.”
“Isis is truly the best! We have been searching for a dog sitter that made us feel comfortable and we felt really cared about our dogs and that is Isis! She went above and beyond and provided great pictures and updates. I know she would be a great dog sitter for anyone and we are so happy to have found her and will most definitely be using her services again.”
“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”
About: I am a young working professional who is super excited to meet your dog! I have a 5-year-old adopted pit bull who is very energetic, and before that I had a small border terrier for 10 years. I have been walking dogs at an animal shelter for 4 years, so I have experience with many types of breeds and sizes. In college, I trained seeing-eye and disability service dogs. I can do short or long walks, or if desired I can run with your pet. I am also very happy to give your dog lots of love for drop in visits! I will make sure your pet has food or water and I can administer medications if needed. I will make sure your dog is as happy as can be while you are away from your home! Most days I am available before 9am, between 12-1pm, and after 5pm. However, I can be flexible depending on the days. I am usually available on weekends. I will follow instructions exactly as they are given and give your pet all the attention he or she needs. When I am with your pet they are my main focus and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
“Isabelle was amazing. We can tell Mia loved being with her with all the updates, notes and photos she would send us! We are so grateful we found Isabelle and will for sure use her services whenever we go away!”
“Ashlee did an amazing job. She was thorough, communicative, and left our house exactly as it was when we left for vacation (maybe even cleaner than we left it!). We have an anxious dog and Ashlee did great with her. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Karissa took wonderful care of my cats, She provided frequent updates, pics, videos and my cats fell in love with her! She is very attentive to details, very responsible and responsive. Super happy with her care.”
“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”
“I highly recommend booking Erika’s services for your pets! She is trustworthy, sends lots of pictures, and makes leaving your pets easier. My puppy had a great day with her!”
“Natalia was absolutely wonderful to our dog Freddy this past weekend! She was so thoughtful and updated us a lot with photos. Freddy was so happy and well taken care of. We are so grateful to Natalia for her incredible care of our dog and our home! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care and will absolutely use her again. 🤍”
“Julia was amazing! Provided so many updates. So easy to chat with. I can home to a happy pup and such a tidy house. Oliver can't wait for me to go away again to get to hang out with Julia! Would definitely recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Braintree is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Braintree
Erin was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our rescue dog, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in Erin’s care. She kept us updated throughout our time away, was incredibly polite and thoughtful, and took such great care of both him and our home. We came home to a spotless house and a happy dog! We’re so grateful to Erin and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!
This is our third time using Deb for overnight stays and she is simply the best! Our flight home was delayed and she was able to help out with a late night walk for our dogs and help with apartment needs. Everything was perfect when we got home. I highly recommend Deb for all your pet care needs!
Alyssa was the best! We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Alyssa was responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. We always felt completely at ease knowing our dog Tony was in such good hands. We would highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out for future dates :)
Cortney and Corey were amazing! I couldn’t have asked for better people to leave with our pets! They were so warm and attentive to their needs and made us feel very reassured that they were in good hands with daily updates and pictures. I would recommend them over and over again and I’m sure my dogs will be pleased to have them back to watch them in the future!
Janiya was so great with my senior cat! My cat gets medication 2x a day, and Janiya was great about giving it to her and providing me with regular updates and pictures. My cat can be slow to warm up to people, but she was sharing the bed with Janiya on the first night, which made me feel really great. I would and have already booked her for another in-home sitting.
Okay - how about something like this: We’ve had Gabriella stay at our place a couple times to take care of our dog, Holly, while we have been out of town. Gabriella has been wonderful each time and has such patience when dealing with a senior dog. She arrives on time and communicates throughout her stay with pictures and other updates. When we got home this past Sunday, Holly had a calmness that showed she had been well taken care of!
Communication is such a critical element of a successful “sitting” and Leo’s approach is a prime example of a five-star experience. Leo watched my “fur babies” overnight. There was never a time that I wondered how things were going, and if Leo had a question or observation to share, he was quick to reach out. I highly recommend Leo - in fact we have already booked him again!
Christine was amazing with our two dogs! They absolutely loved her. She walked them twice a day, gave them tons of love and attention and play, and was so communicative with us - sending us incredible pictures too! She even washed our sheets and towels she used, which was an added bonus we didn’t expect! Thank you so much Christine! We will be using you again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Braintree
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Braintree on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,214 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Braintree. 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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
