Leaving our dog and cat can be difficult, but Dawn took the stress and worry away. She is thorough when meeting the animals and collecting information, and thoughtfully provides updates and pictures while we’re away. She is wonderful!

About: Over 2 years working at Puddleby on the Hill boarding kennel Lifelong dog and cat owner Experience with puppies, senior pets, and high-energy dogs Comfortable with large and small breeds Familiar with administering oral medications Experience handling multiple dogs safely Strong understanding of pet routines and behavior I'm a teacher, so my summers are very flexible and ideal for pet care. I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I enjoy being active outdoors. During the school year, I'm generally available evenings, weekends, and school vacations. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. In a client's home, I do my best to keep pets on their normal schedule and make sure they have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and affection. During walks, I stay alert to the environment, use secure leash handling, and prioritize your pet's safety at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been helping family and friends care for their pets for years. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, baths, and lots of attention and affection. Spending time with dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I follow care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am a law student at UNH with classes in the morning and late afternoon. I am free mid-days and in the evenings, and am free every weekend. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and keep a calm, clean environment. During walks, I stay alert and use secure leashing at all times. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep doors, gates, and food stored safely. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Andrea did a house sit for our 2 cats for 3 nights after a quick meet & greet. I could tell right away from the meet & greet that she knew her way around cats and that my cats felt at ease around her. She was so great and we felt relaxed and at ease on vacation knowing she was with them. She was able to give our 14 year old cat her medicine, which is not the easiest thing, without issue. She followed all the instructions and sent us some really great pics of our kitties. We will definitely be re-booking and as frequent travelers having a trusted long-term sitter that gets to know our house and cats is very important to us so we are beyond happy to have met Andrea!

About: I have dog sat and walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for the last eight years and approximately two years ago adopted my American Bully, Cane Corso mix named Clementine. I even trained her to be a therapy dog through a lot of training and education. I am comfortable working with rescues as well. I love working with all breeds, but specifically I love working with bully mixes too!! I am comfortable with medication administration, as well as working with dogs that have recently had surgery. My dog had TPLO surgery and took six months to recover so I’m willing to support in that process as well! I also have experience working with rescue dogs. I currently work full-time as a social worker, but I am looking to help with pet sitting on the weekends or dog walks earlier in the morning. In my home, my dog is on a strict schedule which includes brushing her teeth twice a day, administering medication in the morning, a structured walk and enrichment. For your pup, I can do whatever is needed!! my dog is also crate trained, and has been training to be a therapy dog. I am comfortable with dogs that are reactive to other dogs as well. I am able to do boarding in my home but your dog would have to be comfortable with my dog so we would have to do a meet and greet. I do not have a fun fenced in backyard, but I live on a rail trail and take my dog on walks there often. I am also comfortable with dropping in visits, walks, and overnight pet sitting.

Zachary was very responsive and was flexible working with me to nail down a schedule that worked for both our availability. I so appreciated his help watching Winnie when my flight was significantly delayed - he was happy to come back and I was so grateful that she was cared for when I couldn’t get home on time. He cleaned up before leaving and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend Zachary to take care of your dog. Winnie seemed very happy with the care he provided. Thanks!

Sophia was an absolutely amazing sitter! She took care of my 2 kitties for 3 days, took wonderful care of the home during her stay, truly going above & beyond! I’ve never seen my cats happier than after their weekend with her, upon returning home from a trip. If you’re looking for a loving, responsible, & caring pet sitter, look no further than Sophia! I know the cats will love for her to return, definitely will rebook! 🤍🐱

About: My family has had pets my entire life, and I've grown up with dogs and cats, so the question of how many years of experience I have is difficult to answer. I have a lot of experience being around animals, but I obviously was not the primary caregiver for our pets during my childhood. I am very fond of animals (of course), and would love to get to know your furry friends and help them get out and about! I'm a student in college at UVM, so I am around to hang out with your pets in between and after my classes! Because of the way they are spaced out, I'm usually free midday or in the afternoon/evening. I put a lot of care into making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy while in my care. I keep a close eye on them, and stick mainly to quieter roads that I'm familiar with on walks.

About: I've worked with pets my whole life, and have worked with dogs professionally for over a year. I bring a depth of knowledge and a willingness to learn that help me adapt to the needs of every animal. I work full time, but primarily have weekends and weekdays evenings and nights available. So if you are looking to take a weekend getaway, or need someone to come check on the pets in the evenings, I'll be happy to work you into my schedule. I make sure pets are fed and cared for to their owners specifications. Medical needs are seen to as a priority, and hygiene, bathroom, and attention needs are always a focus when I am caring for pets.

Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!

About: I love animals! Currently I have a mixed breed (mostly French Bulldog). Dog(s) are let out on a run or a leash to keep chickens safe. I have 2 adult children so these days animals are my main focus. My life revolves around family.... human and animal family! I am hoping to keep busy caring for animals in my home and / or yours. My dog is friendly and submissive. I do have a small fenced area if the dog run/leash walking are not suitable. My dog doesn't use a crate but I have plenty available all different sizes.

Sidne is an absolute gem! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in taking care of our home and pets. She made sure to meet with us beforehand to get to know our animals, which really put us at ease. During our time away, Sidne sent daily updates with pictures of our pets, which we absolutely loved. It was clear that our pets were not just being looked after, but truly cared for. Sidne also kept our house spotless, took care of packages, and made sure everything was in order when we returned. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and thoughtful. We couldn't be happier with her service and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!

I booked Celina as our puppy’s first ever dog sitter while we were out of town. She is a great communicator and made me feel very comfortable straight away. She came over to meet my pup beforehand and they got along great. Celina spent a great deal of time playing with, walking and doting on my pup, and I could not have felt better about leaving my dog in Celina’s care. Amazing sitter, we will be booking her from now on!

FAQs for House Sitting - Contoocook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Contoocook on Rover is $70.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Contoocook. 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 Contoocook 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 Contoocook 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 Contoocook 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 Contoocook. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
