Very attentive to our pets’ individual needs. Regular daily communication about our pets with lovely pictures. Provided our anxious dog with extra care and attention to help her through storms and fireworks. We are very grateful to have her watching our cat and dog in our home.

About: I'm Ashley. 29 years old. I have 7-8 years of experience sitting dogs. I give them my full attention at all times. I will play with them, and walk them. I will make sure they are fed, and hydrated! I'm a big animal lover! Most dogs that I've sat in the past loved me, and my attention I gave them. They will always leave happy :) I will sometimes spoil them if they're good. I'll go to the store, and pick up some toys or treats. My kids get along very well with animals. They will always play with them as well. My kids have never got injured by any dog or cat. I'm hoping you'll choose me to sit your animal!:)) I'm a stay at home so I have all day to care, and play with them! If my kids don't need me first then they have my full attention. I make sure to get them comfortable first. I fill up their dish bowls right away. They'll either come to me to sit or if they're a smaller dog I'll pick up, and sit with. They always show they are content by licking my hand, and following me around.

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone who truly adores animals, you’ve come to the right place! From childhood through high school, I spent my time walking neighborhood dogs alongside caring for our own family pets. I was known around the neighborhood as the reliable babysitter and animal lover everyone could count on! At 17, I took on the rewarding challenge of training my own Service Dog, which gave me even more hands-on experience and deepened my love and understanding of dogs. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From gentle senior pups who need a slower pace to week-old puppies still with their mama. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know and care for hundreds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently on summer break from college, which means I will have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality pet care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member. I tailor my care to each individual pup and always work closely with pet parents to create the safest and most comfortable environment possible, because nobody knows your dog better than you do! I have safety plans and routines in place for different types of care and am always happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine. Feel free to message me with any questions about my services or safety measures! I’d love to chat and help you feel confident and comfortable when booking with me!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.

About: I am a cool and calm individual who can easily adapt to new energies and environments. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs all with varying personalities, needs, and activities including Yorkshire Terriers, Blue Heelers, Labs, and Pitt Bulls. I can stay home with pets who'd rather curl up on the couch, go hiking with more active ones, or help dogs with anxiety feel safe. I can stick to schedules while reading a dog's changing needs. I have experience in healthcare, the service industry, and trauma-conscious yoga which aids in my ability to respond to stressful or complicated situations with efficiency, grace, and compassion. I can easily connect with animals. Through mutual respect and appreciation, I have formed a genuine bond with all of the dogs I have cared for. I have a very flexible schedule. Day time is usually open. I work multiple part time jobs at night but can schedule around those times. I can walk, let-out, play, or stay with dogs. I feel comfortable caring for multiple pets. I do well with leashing and crating. I can administer medications. I will adhere to eating and potty schedules. I will communicate efficiently with dog-owners.

About: Hello there! My name is Ella. I’ve been pet sitting for over a decade now and have met some wonderful people and pets along the way. From a young age, I've been fortunate to have had opportunities to care for a variety of animals - from parrots to puppies! I have extensive experience walking, cleaning, feeding, and providing basic medical care. I understand how important it is to find a caring, trustworthy sitter for your pet while you're gone. I would love to connect with you to see if I could be the right fit! My work schedule is flexible and I work remotely Monday-Friday. That way I’m able to spend as much time as needed with your pet, especially if housesitting is an option for you. While pet sitting, I prefer to proactively communicate with my clients. I text you when I arrive at the house and give a status update, reassuring you that everything is in order and your pets are doing well. I recognize the needs of your pet and respond accordingly. I'm patient and calm with those that are withdrawn or scared. I understand that many animals are sensitive to change and may be missing their people when I first arrive; so I make sure to maintain their schedule as much as possible. My goal is to provide seamless, loving care for your pet - ensuring their routines remain as normal and as consistent as they would be if your were home with them. I allow them as much time as they need to warm up and begin to trust me. When they feel comfortable, I like to send pictures to let you know how they're doing, all the while keeping your home clean and tidy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dedham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dedham. 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 Dedham 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 Dedham 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 Dedham 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
