“Pups seemed quite happy with Lydia and she was wonderful providing initial meet & greet and then being extremely punctual arriving at the crack of dawn so we could get an early start and staying until we returned the following evening. She sent photos through our absence so we felt assured that all was well & even let these spoiled pups sleep with her!”
About: I have experience caring for older dogs with medical needs. I have a lot of time currently and will be dedicated to giving them all the care, playing, cleaning, and attention they need. My only solid time commitments currently is needed for the family on Saturday mornings. I can easily talk on longer jobs as long as I have a few days notice. I try to leave the house as I found it when sitting in the clients house. I try to replicate their experience with their families in terms of how much they get out, where they go for dog parks, when they eat, etc

“Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.”

I am 100% able to listen and to the pet owners requests and I am making sure everything is fitting for you and your pet(s)!
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“Mikayla is an amazing house sitter! She knew exactly how to approach my reactive dog, she stayed calm even though we had a dangerous storm and a tornado warning at our house her first night there. She sent me pictures and responded quickly to any texts. Her questions about the pets ( two dogs and a cat) showed me she is really think about their comfort and routine. I could not be more pleased. I have already booked another time for her to keep my pet babies in July.”

About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.
“I physically can’t say enough about how INCREDIBLE of a job Jennifer did with our pup. She was soooo easy to get ahold of and always in communication with us. She’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our girl, Cactus, absolutely loved her, and we will absolutely be repeat clients. She even bought our little girl a toy, and trimmed her nails. Absolutely incredible in every way. If you’re looking for a sitter/boarding/Walker/anything, don’t hesitate. ?”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets from veiled chameleons to diabetic cats. My biggest worry when traveling is leaving my pets behind, that’s why I want to pet sit. I want people to be able to relax knowing I’ll care for their babies the way that they would. I am currently working part time and my shifts are only about 6 hours long so I’ll be complete free at least four days a week making my schedule very flexible. I have a dog but he is never left unsupervised with other animals and is always crated when I am not around . He is great with all animals and knows he isn’t allowed to chase any small animals like cats. I also have an extra room in my house which will be used for cats that I board. This is so that your cat doesn’t have to stress about interacting with any of my pets and they can relax in their own quiet room while you’re away. As for dogs this will depend on if they are crate trained or not. I personally crate my dog when I am not at home or actively watching him this is because I spend roughly 4 hours a day training, walking, feeding, etc so he gets plenty of time out of the crate to do things. That being said when I have dogs in my care they are given their own private room if they are not crate trained or crated if they are crate trained when I am not around. I have a separate area in my yard that has a large outdoor kennel where my dog will be separate from yours so that your dog can enjoy the entire back yard for bathroom/play breaks without having to interact with my dog. Your pets safety is my number one concern and I wouldn’t want anything happening even by accident! Thank you! Feel free to ask any questions!
“Sabrina took great care of our boxer beagle baby for about a week when we went on a trip to Europe. Rocket is very reactive to other dogs so we always worry when we leave him with a sitter. But Sabrina’s obvious confidence from years of experience of taking care of even larger aggressive dogs allowed her to connect with Rocket immediately during their first meeting! He did great with her and she sent us daily photos and updates to let us know how our boy was doing. Such a stress relief knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Sabrina!”
“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - DeCordova
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in DeCordova on Rover is $47.21 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 668 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeCordova. 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 DeCordova 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 DeCordova 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 DeCordova 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.
