About: Hi! my name is April, I am new to Rover, as you can probably see. In my bio I am going to be as honest and sincere in this explanation of who I am and why you should choose me to care for your pet(s). I recently moved to North Brookfield and in doing so lost contact with a 9yr. old rescued Rottweiler who I loved and cared for. I would walk her, give her medication and feed her of course. I miss her presence. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the excess of free time that I have. This job opportunity seems like it will be the perfect fit. I have had many years of experience living with and caring for multiple breeds of dogs, including Rottweiler, Pitbull, Great Dane and numerous other breeds. I am an energetic woman who thrives on outdoor activities, I love exploring nearby parks, or strolling through neighborhoods I haven’t yet explored. My experience extends beyond dogs; I’ve also shared my home with cats, and I even had a wonderful rabbit who enjoyed our walks together. I recently completed a Red Cross certification in cat and dog, first aid, which enhances my ability to provide safe and responsible care for your pets. My deep fondness and connection with animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet that I take care of receives the attention and exercise they deserve. If you are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic pet walker, who will treat your beloved animal like a best friend, I would love to connect! I am currently studying for a new profession. My studies work around my schedule so caring for your pet, whenever you need me to is not an issue. I unfortunately cannot bring pets to my residence as I am renting a house right now. If you become my client, I will treat your home and your property with the utmost respect. I also have a vehicle large enough to accommodate most dogs and would be thrilled to take them to parks if that’s what works for all of us.
“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!!!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Kayla was terrific! She updated us daily with pictures and comments of Gracie while we were away for the week. During our meet and greet she was very professional and kind with us and Gracie. We 100% recommend her and will be contacting her again if we go away. She did a great job taking care of our pooch!”
“Fiorella was a wonderful caretaker for our three dogs and home while we were away. She sent regular photos and followed all instructions thoroughly. Also left the house nice and clean!”
“Chantal was very conscientious about meeting me and my dog and about learning all of her special needs and habits and tricks that she likes to do, etc.! Her communication was great, she sent lots of pictures, per my request not too many not too few, and she gave me updates on how my dog was doing! 😊 I wouldn’t hesitate to book this trustworthy and caring sitter”
“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!”
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.
“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: My dogs are my kids and I’m extremely passionate about providing the best life I can for them. I will treat your pets with the same attention to detail and affection as I would my own. From birth I have been around animals of all kinds and am extremely comfortable with them. I have been around animals of various social levels and am more than comfortable adapting to your pet’s needs to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and safe. I have handled all different breeds, sizes and temperments. From the smallest (with the biggest personalities) to the largest couch potatoes, to the athletes and the shy ones I will provide your pet with care tailored to them. I have experience with senior dog care as well as training and socializing puppies (I am not a certified trainer, I have only trained my own over the years and worked along side multiple trainers). I am comfortable administering various medications and ongoing treatments. If you have specific questions regarding a situation or my experience please reach out to me as there are so many different health situations. My current dogs are Kaya (4 yr GSD) and Tallulah (6 month BMD). Kaya is a fantastic big sister showing her little sister the ropes but Tallulah is the typical 2nd child and loves to cause mischief. I currently work full time, however I do work from home part of the week and have variable availability for midday drop ins. Feel free to send me a message for last minute availability. I have set my area close to my home so more than likely I would be able to make it work! Whatever your pets routine is at home, I will do everything possible to keep it as close to routine as I can. If you have any requests of walks or socializing I am more than happy to accommodate! If your dog needs plenty of mental stimulation I have a plethora of party tricks I like to teach my dogs just for fun, such as ‘sit pretty’ ‘weave’ ‘middle’ ‘spin’ etc. :)
“I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾”
About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.
About: Hi, I’m Krystal! I’ve spent the last 15 years surrounded by animals, ranging from high-energy puppies and kittens to gentle seniors. I understand that your pet isn't just an animal; they’re family. I create a calm environment where your pet will receive personalized attention, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or mastering a new trick, I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine so you can travel stress-free. I can also provide frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! I am currently a grad student working part-time. I'd love to fit your furry pal into my flexible schedule! Here are my available times and days below: Monday: 8 am-3 pm, 5 pm-7 pm Tuesday: 8 am-11 am Thursday: 8 am-11 am Saturday: 10 am - 2 pm Sunday: 10 am - 2 pm *Overnight visits can be scheduled outside of these hours When I visit your home, my goal is to provide high quality care while keeping your space exactly as you left it. I am highly respectful of your privacy and property. I am extremely diligent about locking doors, setting alarms, and ensuring gates are latched. I double check that pets are safely away from the door before I enter or exit. During drop-ins or walks, I focus 100% on your pet. This includes playtime, leashed walks, and, of course, cuddle-cuddle sessions. I will always refresh water bowls and clean up after your furry pal. For overnight sittings, I’m happy to bring in the mail, water plants, and ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Brookfield
We are so pleased with our experience with Ashley. Our usual dog sitter is out of the country for school, and it's always a bit stressful trusting a new person to care for your dogs and home while you are away. At the first meet-and-greet with Ashley, it was evident that the boys and our home were going to be in great hands. Ashley is professional, caring, attentive, and punctual. While we were away, Ashley remained in contact with us, sending photos, videos, and updates of the boys to reassure us that they were well taken care of and thriving while we were out of state. We highly recommend Ashley to care for your fur babies, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.
Ashley did a fabulous job taking care of my dog Shelby. She is warm, communicative, and trustworthy. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my little friend and my house were in safe hands while I was away. Thank you, Ashley! Will definitely work with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Brookfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,356 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Brookfield. 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 East Brookfield 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 East Brookfield 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 East Brookfield 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.
