“Liza was simply the best. Our dog got sick last minute and Liza saved the day. She was fantastic with my dog Tali who loved her. I would highly recommend Liza to anyone”
“Darcy did an amazing job on our first overnight away from our pups. She followed our instructions to a t and left our home and pups like she found them. Very friendly and great with updates. Look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs for a week-long stint. She sent lots of great pictures and notes and took great care of them. She is clearly responsible and on top of things and a good communicator. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I am a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I am available most of the day. I am working as a dog groomer so when I am not working with a dog I am available for pet care! It easy to work my schedule around what a pet parent may need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.
“Jenna took excellent care of my cat Voodoo while I was away. She spent time with him daily and saw that he was well fed and kept him company. She is pleasant and professional. I would be happy to employ her again.”
“Duncan is absolutely wonderful. my dogs warmed to his gentle and calm demeanor instantly. he frequently sent photos and video updates which provided me with peace of mind while away from my pups. would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a full-time college student so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters but I love to keep busy throughout the week!! I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
About: I am a current college student home for the summer who loves and understands how to take care of any type of dog. As a current owner of a boxer and a pitbull, as well as owning multiple boxers over the years, I know how to walk and take care of dogs big and small. I am willing to pet-sit overnight and multiple days a week and am willing to give any sort of medication the pet needs and fulfill their needs as instructed. I currently work part-time as barista at Star Drive-In, and the shifts are short, which gives me free time to take care of your pets! I work 3-4 days a week, and my schedule comes out weekly, but if requested I will be available and work around my job for your pets needs! I am a current boxer and pitbull owner. I have been walking the pitbull around my neighborhood since we got him, and he can be a handful, but my family loves him all the same. My boxer, unfortunately, has a heart condition where the vet advised against walking him. We have owned both male and female boxers who are great around other pets. I will care for any of your pets needs, and will make your pet happy and entertained when sitting.
“Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.”
About: I have l had the responsibility of taking care of my home pets ever since I could remember. We’ve always had a full house with dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, guinea pigs, chickens, and even a macaw. I have experience with senior dogs that require extra care as I have one of my own. I have also taken a few puppy training classes that I have used on my dogs as well as pups of close friends. Most of my pets have been rescues and I was able to use those skills to break bad, destructive habits that could’ve resulted in injury. I am currently a full time college student and a part time medical assistant at an urgent care clinic. Typically, I would have the most time to commit to intensive pet care in the early mornings, early afternoons, late evenings, and weekends. My dogs are crate trained and my pets typically spend their nights in their designated areas. In the mornings everyone is opened, greeted with many pets and kisses, and fed. The dogs are walked and trained for a bit before my departure. I make sure to leave a few brain engaging toys/ treats while gone for the day. Once I return, the process is repeated with a longer evening walk and extra cuddle time. My senior dog required a bit more attention with daily injections and a specific diet. I am sure I would take care of your pet with the same care and love I give my pets.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for two years and absolutely love it. My family and I travel around the country and help take care of dogs. We understand the need for others to have reliable caregivers for their pets. I love using Rover for my own dog, and decided to start being a dog walker for others. I also enjoy cats, they are cuddly and adorable. We don’t have any cats but do enjoy several of our friends’ cats. I am comfortable caring for cats as well. I am flexible with the needs of other families and their pets, with enough notice I am sure we can work something out for the care of your pet. I can maintain any food and care routine that you have set forth for your pet in your home. I will follow diligently any schedule, rules, commands, and preferences that you have for your pet.
“Jordan is the best sitter we have ever had. She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She's always in contact and we appreciate the timely updates and pictures. She's always respectful of our home and leaves everything in order. We are so grateful to have found Jordan through Rover!”
“Rebecca is a fabulous dog and house sitter and I am so fortunate to have found her., This is my second booking and I knew the transition would be smooth...and it was. I have 3 very large, rambunctious and noisy fur babies who can be a handful, but Rebecca knew exactly what to do to maintain a calm and nurturing environment for them while I was away. The minute you meet her, you will discover that she is a calming force who takes her responsibilities seriously. From my perspective, you and your fur babies would be fortunate to have her in your home. My dogs loved her, and that is important when you leave them in someone else's care while away. Thank you, Benny, Bailee, & Brodie”
About: Hi! I’m Christina a passionate dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’m here to provide loving, safe, and personalized care while you’re away or busy.

I work full time M-F providing In Home ABA Services with children 3-22 years of age on the spectrum and have availability in between clients. My part time job I take care of adults with disabilities over night twice a week. My schedule is pretty flexible. My Dax (Boston Terrier) is loved, spoiled and one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I do not have a fenced in yard and am only able to have one pet at my house so at this time I'm unable to provide services at my house but am more than happy to provide them at your house!
About: My schedule is very flexible. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I spend most of my time playing outside with my dogs. I love to hike/walk. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most hours of the day. I am reliable and will be able to give your pet the attention needed. I’m very responsible. Your pet will be leashed when going outside. I will need your daily routine so I can make your pet feel just as it does at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Freetown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Freetown on Rover is $66.6 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 2,145 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Freetown. 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 Freetown 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 Freetown 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 Freetown 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.
