“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 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.

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

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’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! 🦴🐕

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’m excited to get back to doing something I truly enjoy! I’m a proud dog mom to my own pitbull, Jax, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, or getting outside to explore, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love along the way. I’m currently offering dog walking services and would love the opportunity to meet your pup! My goal is to make every walk a safe, happy, and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. ❤️🐶 I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to fit dog walking into my schedule when I’m available! I’m available for walks on weekday evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I prioritize every dog’s safety and comfort, treating each pup as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I provide walks in the client’s neighborhood, always use a secure leash, and adjust each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs.

About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

About: I grew up in the country side in Michigan, where we had all sorts of animals, from goats and chickens, to cats and dogs. I always had a minimum of four dogs around me at all times, with all sorts of different breeds, from cane corse mastiffs to dachshunds and everything in between. I have come to learn how to handle dogs of different temperaments that live together, and how to help ensure different kinds of animal are being cared for at the same level all at oncs Currently I have a maremma sheepdog that I’ve worked with extensively in ensuring he is properly trained, and as he has grown older, he has had a couple health conditions that require him to take a couple pills, so I am well versed in ensuring an animal takes their medications. My partner and I also have two cats together that we have worked with on training in a variety of different ways. I work a touring life with bands, so while there are stretches of time where I am unavailable, I pride myself on being a reliable and responsible animal lover. Where I work with my partner (who is also on rover)in the care of our animals at home. Prior to any alone time with pets, we will schedule a meet and greet, to help ensure that I can be a good fit for your pet! I currently work part time in a retail position, so my schedule varies there, but that allows me more freedom and flexibility in when I can have time available to check in on your fur baby. I do also have a touring gig, so there may be weekends or full weeks where I am unavailable. My dogs have always held an important space in my life, and I know your pets hold the same in yours. I practice a calm and patient approach to pet care, where I allow your pet to approach me as they feel comfortable. I am comfortable giving pills in a healthy and safe way, with the techniques that you have used to ensure they are feeling healthy. I am comfortable in a variety of situations, whether that be taking your dog for a long walk, playing with a cat in the comfort of an apartment, or watching a dog for an afternoon

“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I do drop ins, dog walking, and house sitting by myself but for boarding dogs me and my mom do that together (we are Angie’s pet care) that way our boarding dogs are with at least one person 24/7. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brockton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Brockton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $75 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 October 2026, there are 6,332 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Brockton. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
