“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to bunnies and fish. i’ve been looking after animals for friends and family for years in always the first one they think of to ask! I am currently a student in college, but that means i’ll have more time to care and play with your pets. I’m available for drop ins, walking, or overnights! I will care for your animals as if they are my own, I will clean up after myself and them whenever necessary, I will monitor them and send you check in’s
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and a cat, so I have daily experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’ve also cared for sick cats in the past, giving me experience with providing extra attention, monitoring their well-being, and following specific care needs. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I work from home and deal with multiple pets every day. I can easily make time during a lunch hour, after work or even if you need a stay I can try to work it into my schedule. As a pet parent myself I understand the need for wanting to get your babies to the bathroom and have someone to be with them if youre gone for more than you want to be so I can always try to work something into the schedule to take care of them. I play with my dogs outside and take them for multiple walks daily. One of them loves to play fetch nonstop and the other loves to be chased so we cater to each of their playtimes individually. My older dog is adopted and I have been working diligently with him as he attention barked nonstop when we first got him and now he rarely does. I understand the individuality of pets and how each pet has different needs and desires. My cat is a big cuddler as well so I'm always hanging around her when its food time and cuddling her whenever I get the chance so she never feels left out
“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
About: I have solid pet care experience — in my own home and staying at owners' homes to care for pets and houses. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even farm animals over the years. I live in a large house with two fully fenced yards, a seasonal pool, and walking trails nearby, so pets have plenty of room to run, relax, or explore on leash. I also have two dogs of our own, Loki (7) and Nelly (14), both friendly, well-behaved 50lb mixed breeds — Loki's a bit more active, Nelly's calm and sweet. They may bark when someone new arrives but warm up fast, so we know how to help nervous pets settle in. Whether it's an active young dog or a senior who needs a gentler routine, I tailor the care to fit. Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, and attention — not squeezing visits in around a job. My own dogs are let out into the fenced yard at least 4-5 times a day, right from the front door, and I take them on a walk daily. With two fenced yards, a pool, and trails nearby, pets get plenty of room to play and explore. Because I'm home consistently, sitting jobs fit naturally into my day — your pet gets frequent check-ins and a routine that doesn't feel rushed. I take pet care in my home very seriously — I consider pets family, and the top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease from the moment they arrive. My main focus is hosting sits in my own home, but I'm also open to sitting at a client's home nearby. I have done several sits in other people's homes, and I take that responsibility seriously: I make it a priority to learn a pet's routine — feeding times, walk schedules, favorite spots, any quirks — and stick to it closely so there's as little disruption as possible. I'm also a respectful guest in someone else's home, treating the space and belongings with care, just as I would want someone to treat mine. Whether it's my place or yours, pets get consistent routine and full attention.
“Kayla was amazing with our pups! She followed the instructions we left for her perfectly. We could tell from the updates and pictures she sent that our dogs loved her. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Taylah was great with Pepper. We got frequent updates, she engaged with Pepper and took her for a walk and gave her great company. Taylah also came by for a meet and greet which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her services again. Pepper loved her!”
“Morgan is a fantastic pet sitter! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog and cat were in the best hands. Her communication was perfect, from coordinating a meet and greet through the end of sitting. She followed my pet's routines and gave them tons of love and attention, I highly recommend her! She also sent me pictures and video updates which were super appreciated.”
“Lila did a fantastic job watching our 8-year old pup Bodie! She was easy to communicate with and we felt 100% comfortable that Bodie was having a great time with her. Would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to stay with their pup!”
“Madison was phenomenal. We left her with our elderly 12 year old dog, our 1 year old puppy, and our two 3 year old cats and she was nothing less than professional. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Logan is so kind and was so attentive to our pup! We definitely plan on using his services again. We feel very lucky to have found him on Rover. We are new to it, and I was skeptical about how it would work but Logan is a gem!”
About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Nelson, and my family cat, Luna, for the past seven years. In addition, I started my own dog walking business over three years ago and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications with clear instructions, following detailed care routines, and making sure every pet receives the attention they deserve. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets the same way you do, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who simply wants a calm companion while you’re away, I believe every animal deserves to be treated like family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine by completing my pre-veterinary coursework. This fall I’ll be returning to school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal isn’t just to watch your pet—it’s to become someone both you and your pet are excited to see again. Nothing means more to me than earning your trust and building lasting relationships with the families I work with. When you return home, I want you to feel completely confident that your pet was cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine love every single day. Although I’m unable to board pets in my own home, I have experience providing overnight house sitting and in-home pet care. I know how important it is for many pets to stay in the comfort of their own environment, and I’m always happy to care for them where they feel safest. Most importantly, I understand that when you leave your pet with someone, you’re placing an incredible amount of trust in them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care they’re used to at home.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals —I focus on making them feel secure, understood, and cared for just like they’re my own. I'm new to Rover as I'm sure my profile shows lol However, Im able to show reviews & plenty of pet love I've given thus far 🥰 This job is equally as enjoyable for mee as the beautiful fur babies ❤️ (maybe more) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings to make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I build my day with their needs in mind so I can provide dependable, stress-free care I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions, while also giving them plenty of attention and affection.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I am a huge animal person. I've taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love getting to know new pets and their unique personalities! I work during the evenings from 2:45-11pm so I have time during the mornings and afternoons. My days off are Friday and Saturday so I have more availability then. I can walk your dog, play fetch, take them to the dog park or anything your dog loves to do. I take my dogs walking or hiking on a daily basis, and they love to swim.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Charlton Depot is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlton Depot
It’s difficult for me to find the words for this review. While we were away one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Because of Bill’s dedication, careful monitoring, and experience I was able to get home in time to say goodbye to my boy. Without Bill and his care for our fur babies I would not have made it home in time and my boy would have been in prolonged pain and stress. As well as sound decision making he then made sure our other dog was emotionally supported by spending an extended amount of time with her until we could get home. Bill remained in constant communication with us, our emergency contact, and the medical staff. His exceptional communication skills helped us orient ourselves to the seriousness and make informed decisions from an ocean away. He went well above and beyond his job description of being a dog sitter and was just an incredible person and support. Bill is the standard for pet care and is the best option for owners who deeply value their pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Charlton Depot
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Charlton Depot on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,360 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charlton Depot. 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 Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot 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.
