“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”
“Went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable, followed all directions and was very attentive and very flexible. Will definitely use her anytime. I’m in vegas thank you so much Cyndi .”
“Meghan took great care of Sunny while we were gone. He was clearly loved & happy during our time away and once we asked, we received regular photo updates in our morning & and nightly roundups. She also left the house really clean, going so far as to strip the bed and clean up the neverending dry summer grass he tracks in (I never bother) and leaving a sweet thank you note. We wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Sunny again.”
“Reya is amazing! She always does a fantastic job watching my cats while im away. Ive had her watch my cats twice and both times my two cats where well cared for and received lots of love and attention.”
“Jacqui was very responsive and timely with all communications and visits. Our dog liked her from the very first visit and so did we. She sent us pictures and updates often, which was helpful and reassuring. We felt our pup was well taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely use Jacqui again in the future and would recommend her to others!”
About: With three years of experience in the veterinary field and starting at the age of 18 , I have successfully advanced from kennel assistant to receptionist and now to veterinary assistant. Having grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters I have developed a lifelong passion for animal care. I am dedicated to making every animal feel safe in my care and building strong, trusting relationships with owners. I work 10-hour shifts four days a week from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am only available Sunday through Tuesday. However, I can accommodate requests outside of these days after my shift ends If available To ensure I provide the best care for your pet while you are away, I ask for pet parents to write down or print out an instruction sheet for me including details like: - Pet Care & Activities: Any specific routines or activities you would like me to do with their pet. - Medication (if applicable): The exact name, dosage, and schedule. - House Duties: Tasks like taking out the trash or picking up after your pet in the yard.
“If I could leave 10 stars I would. She house sat and cared for my 7 month old puppy and 14 year old senior dog so well. She went above and beyond especially because so many different things happened during the stay that were out of the ordinary (a prowler trespassing, a tree branch falling and damaging our fence, our puppy going into her first heat) and she handled it all with ease and grace. Will hire her again and highly recommend!”
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”
“Andriana and Adam were a total dream! We feel so lucky to have found them. They’re newer to the platform, but from the very beginning they were warm, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly wonderful with dogs. They were punctual for our meet-and-greet, asked great questions, and really took the time to understand our girls’ routines, personalities and little quirks. They’re used to raising and training bigger dogs, but were incredibly gentle with our two little ones. Foxy can be sensitive with new people and took to them almost immediately, which made me feel so comfortable. Andriana listened so attentively while I talked through everything, while Adam patiently sat and let the dogs come over, inspect him, and get comfortable at their own pace. It’s always a little hard leaving your dogs with new people, but once I left, I felt completely at ease. While we were away, they sent the cutest photos and updates, followed all of our feeding, walking, and house instructions, and clearly spent time actually getting to know the dogs. Adam even got curious about Foxy’s breed mix, did some research, and sent me what he found, which was so fun and sweet. Nothing unexpected came up during the stay, but after getting to know Andriana and Adam, I have no doubt they would have handled anything calmly and capably. They also took amazing care of our home. Everything was exactly as we left it, and they even washed the towels and duvet cover for us, which was completely unnecessary but so thoughtful. Adam is also an artist and surprised us with a painting of our front porch, a space I love, which I’ll absolutely be framing. It was such a personal and generous gesture and really captured the kind of care they brought to the whole stay. We came home to two very happy, relaxed pups and a perfectly cared-for house. I would welcome them back in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation. They’re kind, responsible, attentive people who genuinely love animals, and any pet would be lucky to have them! They were kind, responsible, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to have here.”
“We left our 14 yo velcro dog with Sara for the weekend. He was clearly well loved while we were gone. We got regular updates & photos and he was obviously very happy. Our house was left clean as well. We'd definitely have Sara care for Sunny again. Thank you for making Sunny's weekend and paying the cheese tax multiple times!”
“We loved Caitlan and our little Mila was so happy. Thank you Caitlan. We came back from our trip and it was clear Mila was so comfortable and happy with your presence. We really appreciated the peace of mind that Mila was a loving hands.”
“Emily is an amazing sitter!! She watched our 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy for 2.5 days and was so incredible with him. He can be a handful, but she is so patient and caring. Highly recommend her and we will be using her a lot more in the future!”
“Zachary was amazing! He stayed with our animals for 3 nights and they absolutely loved him. He took amazing care and followed all instructions. Will absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”
About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.
About: I've taken care of my 10 year old dog ever since we got her as a 4 month old puppy. From her more youthful, energetic days to the later years spent peacefully basking in the sun, I've always been by her side. I've also spent time caring for the dogs and cats of close friends and relatives. I've cared for pets of all sorts of shapes, sizes, needs, and routines and ensured they were all well fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners were away. I am currently on summer break, which allows me to be flexible and available most days of the week. I am open to morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs whenever possible. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet’s needs are met appropriately and consistently. I enjoy keeping pets engaged and happy, and I’m happy to bring toys or treats to help keep them entertained while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates on how the pet is doing and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in my care.

This was our first time using Daniella and we couldn’t be more happy. She checked in with us on a daily basis with photos and text messages which made us feel good about the care Charlie was getting. We will differently be using Daniella again. Highly recommend.
Kelsey was absolutely amazing house sitting our dog Bleu over the Holidays! We were so happy with the care he received. She is so kind, reliable, and treated him just like family! We were provided with updates and photos multiple times a day. We will 100% be booking her again when traveling in the future. She made us feel extremely comfortable in leaving our boy for a week and provided amazing care. Bleu absolutely adores her and so do we!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brandeis on Rover is $76.59 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 10,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brandeis. 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 Brandeis 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 Brandeis 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 Brandeis 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brandeis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
