About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine exactly, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I’m attentive to their needs, quick to notice changes in behavior, and always focused on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently have open availability through September. I work at an elementary school, so once the school year begins, I’m typically available after 6 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m also happy to communicate with pet owners and work around their schedules whenever possible. While caring for your pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to playtime routines and any special needs. I always keep their environment clean, provide fresh water, and give plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make each pet feel at home, no matter where they are.
“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Animals love me and I love them. I don’t have any pets at this time and would love to help care for yours. I’m currently self employed and create my own schedule which is very flexible. I have plenty of free time to care for pets. No worries for frequent potty trips. My home has a fenced in yard so perfect for playtime. Lots of birds and squirrels parading around for amusement. Very comfortable and reliable to come to your home as well.
“We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!”
“I’m so grateful for Hannah spending time with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave me peace of mind and kept me updated. She was great with my shy cat, getting him to warm up to her quickly. I’ll be looking to book with her again for sure!”
“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”
“I had a feeling from my first phone interview with Lynne that she was a keeper. She is an amazing person and it is or quite interesting to hear her story. After she came by for an introductory visit I had no doubt she would smother them with affection and companionship. I also appreciated her obvious skill as an experienced dog owner in setting limits for their behavior. Her little tike Milo got along great with our girls. We will be booking her again for our next trip for sure. She is a Gem!”
“First time using Jill and all went excellent. Regular updates with photos and details. House was spotless when we returned home and the boys told us they had fun. Thank you so much. Look forward to next time”
“Nicole and Steve did an amazing job looking after our Zona! We were away for a weekend and wanted someone who can stay at our place, since our dog is a senior with poor vision. Zona felt really comfortable with them. Nicole updated us daily with pictures. Her experience with animals made us feel at ease and we knew Zona is in good hands. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean house. Nicole and Steve are great and we will definitely use their help in the future!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals, from our family pets to the horses I rode at a local ranch. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I walked and cared for many different dogs. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I even have some experience with training them. I train my own dog since she was a puppy. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m here to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, belly rubs, and a great time while you take care of your daily responsibilities. Let me take your furry friend for an adventure—playing, running, or just enjoying a nice stroll. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority, and I promise to bring lots of energy, love, and care every time! Let’s chat and set up the perfect walk for your dog (or even your adventurous cat)! 🐾✨ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home! I have a flexible schedule, so I can take dogs for walks, play, and give them attention throughout the day. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! 😊🐾 I provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. If caring for a pet at a client’s home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while their owner is away! 🦴🐕
“This is our second time booking with Margaret and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s taken great care of our German Shepherd and been prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog loves her and my stepdaughter loves the pictures she sends too! I will absolutely continue to rebook with Margaret for sitting in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Melisa did a great job caring for Indigo and we felt so comfortable with her at our place too knowing someone was home while away!!! Thanks for playing with indigo and taking her on long walks!”

About: *Please Note, Boarding Services Are Only Available for Hypoallergenic, Non-Shedding Dogs, as I live with someone who is allergic* Hi! I'm Lindsey, and I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else—that's why I treat every pup as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Whether your pup loves to play, snuggle on the couch, explore on walks, or simply relax, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so you'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your dog's stay. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is happy, loved, and in great hands. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise preferences, and any special instructions to help keep things as familiar as possible. When your dog stays with me, they're not just another booking—they become part of the family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I work full time in the Athletic Department at Bridgewater State University! I work approximately 9-5, but am only ~15 minutes away from my house and can go home on lunch breaks for potty breaks, play time, and cuddles! I have one 8 year old, 75-pound, Goldendoodle, named Trooper who LOVES friends...so your pup will never be alone! We live in a condo complex with lots of other dogs around, and a small fenced in area for off-leash play!
About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
About: From a very young age I have always been around animals. I dog sit my sisters golden retriever for weeks at a time and whenever she needs me. I have watched friends puppies for when they’ve gone on vacation and I have so much fun doing it. I currently have cats at home and they are my everything. In my past, I have also house sat for families with cats and dogs while they were away. I am currently working but have a set schedule for the most part. I am able to work around my schedule to fit the needs of pet owners who need help! This will all depend on the clients preference. I do have a partially fenced yard and live on a quiet side street with a huge yard. I have a house with my husband that had plenty of space for animals to run around if they are indoors.
“Pamela was wonderful! She was professional and provided lots of updates and photos! I truly felt so comfortable with her being with my pup! She even got my shy dude to warm up to her! I cannot recommend Pamela enough!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brockton 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 6,394 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brockton. 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 Brockton 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 Brockton 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 Brockton 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 Brockton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
