About: Currently a dog owner of 4. One of my babies has seizures so I am experienced with administering meds whether they are liquid, pill form, shot and ones that need to be given on a schedule. A true animal lover. I work full time 8-5. I am able to leave during lunch to let out furry friends or go for a quick walk. I would never leave them home alone more than 4 hours if that’s what is requested. We walk every morning and night as well. At home I work on whatever the client wants. If they aren’t allowed on furniture and such It will stay that way. I want you to come home and have It feel like you never left.
About: I have had my own cat since I was 4 years old and I grew up caring and watching over her and she is still by my side to this day. Throughout the years I have taken care of other animals within my family and my friends. I have more knowledge and experience with cats but I would love to watch over dogs more often. I have a job at Starbucks and my schedule fluctuates but I get my schedule three weeks prior and I am willing to work with anyone to be sure I can give their animals the care they need. Currently, I am treating my cat of her hyperthyroidism and early signs of kidney disease. I give her her medicine on a set schedule, a full dosage in the morning and a half-dosage at night. And even if work overlaps with that time I am sure to be flexible so I can get to her in time for her medication.
“Shannon is truly amazing! Our three dogs loved having her stay with them. She sent us daily pictures of them living their best life. They all have such anxiety going to boarding facilities. It was comforting to know they were being well cared for and loved. Shannon even washed her own bedding and cleaned up before she left. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you!”
“I have an 11 yr old female pittie who gets stressed and sick when her Momma leaves her, so boarding became impossible. Charlotte was an absolute life-saver. She stayed in my home with my May for 4 nights and dedicated days. She was so intuitive and attentive to my baby's needs. By the time I got to my phone to answer questions concerning May's behavior, she had already figured it out by paying close attention to her just as I do! I've never seen her so relaxed and happy as if I never left. I will definitely be calling on Charlotte again.”
About: I’ve had had the privilege of caring for many creatures across my life (dogs, cats, praying mantises, spiders…) and would love to help you care for yours! I have two wonderful dogs: Ozzie and Lily. They keep me on a strict schedule for activity time (walks, playing, etc) and feeding. Trust me, they’ve trained me well! I also grew up with two cocker spaniels, Droopy and Floppy, and a German shepherd-beagle mix, Scooby. Every dog has so much character and it’s an absolute joy to learn their unique personalities! My work schedule tends to vary weekly and I can start as early as 9am and leave as late as 9pm, but I am generally available everyday to play with your critters! We can discuss times before booking. I am also a college student with class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I care for pets based on their individual needs with insight from their owners. For example, I can trust my dog Lily to behave herself home alone, but with Ozzie, I know I have to provide him a spacious kennel to prevent him from getting anxious and chewing up the carpet. Regardless, I provide them lots of love, playtime, and outside time whether it be a walk or a potty trip. I have a fenced backyard personally and my dogs (and even my cat with supervision) love to spend time out there.
“Makenna left the dogs happy and well taken care of! I would have loved more updates but that isn’t as big of a deal as making sure my babies are happy and they are! Would book again!”
About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
“We cannot say enough good things…she treated not only our pets, but also our home, as if they were her own. Dare I say…perhaps even better. ? Amongst other things, Brittany is professional, thorough, loving, trustworthy, and extremely communicative. Do not hesitate in asking her to spend time with your pet(s). You will not be sorry, and will likely become like us-a repeat customer.”
“I really appreciate the time and care. Emily took with taking care of my babies. Being able to watch them in my home meant so much to me with me traveling it keeps the dogs feeling comfortable and I really appreciated that from her. I can tell that the dogs really enjoyed her and the time they were able to spend they were just as happy when I left as when I got home. I think her so much will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and currently have two cats! I am going to Harding University for their CFIT program and want to spend my free time doing what I love, taking care of animals. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for the past 5 years. I am a graduate student with a set class schedule but will work outside of the class times! I am very flexible and understanding, will work with what you are needing for your animal. I live in an apartment with two cats! I am a very detail oriented person who will do everything possible to provide the best care.
“Beyond what I could have ever imagined as a first time user of Rover! Lisa was absolutely amazing and I felt totally at peace with her in charge of our pup. She made sure to understand all of his needs ahead of the booking. She kept me updated with pictures every day and make sure he got plenty of playtime ❤️ If I have a choice, I won’t ever be using anyone but Lisa. I’m totally spoiled now 😂”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, and I gained a lot of experience from a three year stint when I was younger and had seven at once ! The two I currently have are potty trained by me, and they respond to basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘drop it’, ‘come’, and ‘quiet’. I have also taken care of two senior, as well as groomed a goldendoodle named Moose! I’m very good with dogs, and I love just being around them! I’m currently a college student, but my weekends and afternoons are free. Early early mornings (5:15-7 am) are also free, though my availability at those times would be distance based. I do not have a place at my dorm to entertain dogs, but I have my own car in which there is plenty of space to transfer a dog to a park or even to the vet!
About: I'll give your pet the attention, care and playtime they need so they can have an amazing time while you are away on vacation or business Pet care works perfectly into my daily routine as a Movement & Health coach. I can drop by and check on your pet multiple times per day and even stay over. I do not plan on boarding animals at my residence. I am open to housing sitting with your animal. It's better for the animal to be in the environment that they are use to.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since high school, I’ve walked neighborhood dogs, pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and fostered kittens to prepare them for their forever homes. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and loving care. As a medical student, you can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and trustworthy while your pets are in my care. As a fourth-year medical student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I keep my availability updated and communicate promptly, so you can count on reliable care and regular updates while you’re away. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved animals since before I could remember! I grew up in Scott on land with dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and fish! Now I have a border collie husky mix, he’s 4 years old. :) My work schedule differs every week so message me to see my availability. I consistently work from 7-4 Monday through Friday and the rest of the time will change! I have a very large unfenced yard where there is plenty of space for dogs to be themselves. I have plenty of toys that I could bring with me or have at my house for boarding. I could crate your dog if needed (not required at all).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cabot
Raven was wonderful! When she came for a “meet and greet”, 3 out of 4 of our cats immediately came out to see her, which is unusual with strangers. During our trip, Raven took great care of our dog and cats. She communicated frequently and sent some photos, too. I definitely recommend her and will absolutely book her again!
Shannon was such a great dog and house sitter while we were away on vacation. She made sure to send plenty of pics and gave our two pups plenty of love. You can tell how much she truly cares for animals. Our home was cleaner than we left it upon our return. We would definitely recommend her services to others and will plan to use her in the future!

The average cost of House Sitting in Cabot is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night.

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 Cabot 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 Cabot 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 Cabot 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.
