“Anna took excellent care of our two cats and home! She followed all instructions exactly as we left them, sent lots of updates and photos, and left our home in absolutely perfect shape. We're thankful for not being worried at all about our cats and home while we were away on a short trip and would love to book with Anna again in the future!”
“Boning is amazing, an absolute animal whisperer. I have a nervous cat and a nervous dog, and they both felt so comfortable with her! She took care of our four animals and was absolutely amazing, very communicative and shared great pics! I’m so grateful for her.”
“Jenie is a rock star! She took phenomenal care of our sheltie Pepper. Super communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She cared for Pepper for eight days and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Jenie has our highest recommendations.”
“Ashlee is great. Responsive and responsible and an obvious pet lover. She's the kind of trustworthy, pet-centric house sitter you want to keep to yourself...but that wouldn't be fair to her or area pets.”
“Teaghan took excellent care of our dog. She communicates well and is very responsive. She sent pictures and kept in good contact while she was at our home. It was our first time using Rover and we are so pleased with our experience with Teaghan!”
“Bert was amazing - he came to meet Betty twice before he was scheduled to watch her, and he sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away! Would definitely hire Bert again to take care of our pup!”
“Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.”
“I was scrambling last min and Irichiya really came through. Even with my less than ideal logistical options she was flexible and reliable. While the pup was very nervous, he was so well taken care of by her patience and attention to his needs. Would absolutely work with again!”
“Sarah took care of my girls for the second time today, and once again she did an amazing job! I was away all day, so having someone I trust to walk them, feed them, and make sure they were well taken care of was such a blessing. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and had already eaten and enjoyed their walks. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while I’m away. Sarah is very caring, reliable, and attentive. I’m truly grateful for the way she takes care of my girls, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Salina was fantastic with housesitting our two corgis in our home while we were out of state for a family trip for 8 days. She was prompt, detail-oriented, trustworthy, and loving with my two high energy dogs. Salina tidied and looked after our house as well, and it was spotless when we returned. One of our dogs ended up injuring her paw, which Salina told me about right away, and she was also able to take my dog to their vet and ensure that her medications were given correctly. When the dogs destroyed their two toys, which is totally what they do, Salina ordered two more with her own money, which was so sweet and totally unnecessary! She truly cared for our pets and our home like her own, always communicating promptly and clearly multiple times a day, for total peace of mind for us. We plan on hiring her again for any future needs, she was absolutely wonderful!”
“From the beginning, the communication was clear and prompt. Sophia took the time to ask detailed questions about Roxies routine, feeding preferences, and any behavioral quirks. This level of attentiveness reinforced my confidence that my pup would be well cared for. During the sitting period, she sent regular updates and photos, which immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was not just being looked after but was also engaged and having a great time. I appreciated this transparency, as it allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Upon my return, my dog was happy and healthy, and I could tell that they formed a nice bond. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend her dog sitting service to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care.”
“Jeff did a great job with our cat Gretzky. Gretzky is a 20 year old who has some special care needs and Jeff was able to give the cat medicine, feed him his special diet etc. We will definitely hire Jeff again as he is reliable and a good communicator who really likes cats. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Tina was great! My dog was a bit sick and she took good care of her. Tina is an upbeat person which I think was fun for Ruby! Tina communicates well. I have already booked her again. Highly recommended!”
“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and love giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine for walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow any special instructions and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease!

Ani was wonderful with our dog and we couldn’t have asked for a more reliable and caring sitter. She genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and went out of her way to make sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. She was incredibly dependable and consistent with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. It was clear that she wasn’t simply checking the boxes, she really took the time to understand our dog and her routine. We would absolutely trust Ani with our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring!
Mariah was fantastic. Right away I noticed my Morkie instantly bonded with her at first meeting, which is unusual for him. During her stay, She updated me with photos and messages. Upon returning I noticed my home was left back in perfect order, and my animals seemed relaxed. I highly recommend Mariah! She is the best!
Caitlin was wonderful. She housesat for our dog while we were away and had an update with photos for us everyday. We felt reassured and comforted knowing our dog was in good hands. She left the apartment as clean as the first day. Highly recommend her, and would definitely book with her again!!
Margaret was amazing! She watched my dog over the weekend and he immediately took to her. I immediately trusted Margaret - she is dependable, caring and conscientious. She checked in often- sending photos of her visits and updates on how my dog was doing. I would enthusiastically recommend Margaret to anyone and would trust that she will care about your pet as much as you do while you’re gone.
Amy was fantastic! My dog and cat adopted her right away and enjoyed their mini vacation! She even came home from work in the middle of the day to make sure the two animals were doing fine. And shoveled the side walk when we had some unexpected snow! :) Highly recommend.

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 Walpole 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 Walpole 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Walpole 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
