“This was the second time I booked Taylor to stay with Sunshine my Labrador Retriever. Taylor is very reliable and excellent at caring for Sunshine. She followed my instructions and will care your fur baby and your home very well. I will definitely rebook Taylor! 😀❤️”
“Casie stayed at our house for a week when we were out of town. She did a great job! Since this was my first time using Rover, Casie lead the way & did a great job! She came ahead of our reservation for a meet & greet which was a great idea! Casie sent pictures through the week. We loved being able to see our pets while we were away! The entire experience was so smooth & easy. Thanks to Casie for taking care of our pets!”
“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”
“Teresa is a remarkable dog sitter! I can't express enough how grateful I am to have found her. She's an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of our beloved furry family members. Her dedication and love for pets is evident from the moment you meet her. She's incredibly attentive, kind, and went the extra mile to ensure our dog's happiness and safety. Having a special needs dog, that is our utmost priority. Her communication is excellent, providing us with regular updates and even photos and videos, which we greatly appreciate. Leaving our dogs with Teresa gave us peace of mind, knowing they're in the best hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Teresa, for being so wonderful and for taking such great care of our babies!!”
“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
“I cannot say enough about Corinne as she went above and beyond my expectations. She spent 10 days house and dog sitting. She sent me pictures of Tippy. She not only put clean sheets on the bed she laundered the sheets and towels. Corinne is friendly and you can tell she enjoys what she does. I would have her stay again.”
“Vance did a fabulous job with our pups while we were out of the country. He sent us regular updates with photos and our girls always looked super relaxed and happy. The house was immaculate when we came home, and it was really reassuring to know our trash would be taken out, our water would be left running to prevent pipes from freezing, and our plants would be watered. He did a great job with everything, and we'd absolutely book him again.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs currently suffers from seizures, giving me experience monitoring health conditions, recognizing symptoms, administering medications as directed, and providing calm, attentive care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for like family. My availability varies from day to day due to my full-time work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated as accurately as possible. I offer flexible scheduling whenever I can, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit both of our schedules. If you have specific dates or times in mind, feel free to send me a message—I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. As a pet owner myself, I’m accustomed to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing attentive care before and after work. I can also administer medications with ease. My beagle has seizures so I am accustomed to delivering the proper medication dosage and extra love to help your pet feel comfortable. I prioritize communication, reliability, and making sure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have looked after dogs of all sizes. I thoroughly enjoy the presence of puppies and have had the pleasure of training puppies, caring for elder dogs, and everything in between Currently, I am conducting research at the University of Buffalo til the end of July. I am working a typical 9-5 but have all time around that flexible. I can work nights are even early in the morning as well, but lunch time check ins will be difficult for me. I am staying in a dormitory at the University of Buffalo so I will not be able to offer any services at my temporary residence, but I can offer dog walks, check ins, feedings, anything that can be done early in the morning or after 5 pm.
“Olivia did a great job taking care of our dogs for the weekend! She was quick to answer when we reached out for updates, provided pictures and let us know when she was coming and going. The house looked exactly how we left it too. Would definitely ask her to dog sit again!”
“Bella took such great care of our senior pup, providing us with daily updates and photos. It was our first time away from him this year, and we felt more at ease knowing he was in good hands☺️”
“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for our three dogs. They were happy to see her when she arrived on time, and they enjoyed their time together. Natalie kept us updated with photos and videos, so we could see how well the dogs were being cared for. We’ll definitely have her watch our dogs again.”
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses since I was seven years old, animals have always been my greatest passion. I truly believe in the unconditional love pets provide and enjoy caring for dogs at every stage of their journey—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Whether your pup is a high-energy breed or a laid-back hound, I provide the patient, dedicated care they deserve. Life at our house is pretty centered around family and home. I can visit morning, afternoon and nights on a dedicated schedule. Whatever works best for your pet! I love visiting pets in their homes. I let them out to use the potty, clean up the yard as much as possible, then tend to the essentials of food and water. Whatever the pet needs! Whether a brush, wipe down or snuggle on the couch, visits are centered around your fur babies.
“Bryce followed all care instructions for Max. It was great to receive daily pictures of Max during walks or breaks. He did a great job caring for our family pet while being away overseas. I highly recommend him and look forward to needing him again in the future. Thanks for caring for Max!”
“Kaylee did a wonderful job with our dog Ozzie, kept me informed on how he was doing. Ozzie bonded well with her. I was quite happy with her assistance with our older dog. Would recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I love spending time outdoors and bringing that same energy to the pets I care for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some fresh-air enrichment, I make sure every visit fits your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments and treat each one like my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine since I already have three cats of my own. I also have had dogs all my life. I’m used to keeping a steady schedule for feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so adding drop-in visits fits easily into my day. Flexibility sets me apart from the rest, as I accept same day bookings. I make sure every visit gets my full attention and that pets feel calm and cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, and food portions to ensure everything is secure and every pet feels comfortable and stress-free.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cabot. 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 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 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.

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.
