“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.”
“Bert was terrific! He had lots of patience and was caring with Sammy. Sammy is an 11 year old senior cat I adopted 5 weeks ago which means she’s still getting used to me and her surroundings. I was hesitant leaving her alone for a weekend so Bert house sat. She hid a lot under the which was completely understandable and didn’t surprise me. She ate her meals two times a day and he was able to coax her out a bit a couple of times with a lickable treat which was huge. Bert also sent several pictures a day which helped me rest easier. I would definitely have Bert back!”
“First time using Jill and all went excellent. Regular updates with photos and details. House was spotless when we returned home and the boys told us they had fun. Thank you so much. Look forward to next time”
“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”
“Salina was great with our 4 cats, including our senior cat with diabetes. The house was exactly as we left it. We had a flight cancellation and she stayed an extra night to ensure the cats were taken care of during our unexpected delay. I highly recommend Salina for overnight sitting.”
“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!”
“I can’t thank Maria K. enough for her kindess & sincere love and care of my dog this past weekend. Even though it was a pretty last minute request on rover, she went above and beyond to meet with me and my dog ahead of her appointment to house sit. She took the time to find out her feedings, routine and even walked around the neighborhood with me to check out the surroundings. During her housesitting, she also sent adorable photos of her having fun with our dog. She is very warm, personable and just did an outstanding job with our dog. I trusted her wholeheartedly in our home & would highly recommend her to anyone seeking her services. It was my very first time using rover & the bar was set extremely HIGH, I will be her repeat customer for sure!!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up raising and loving family dogs, neighbors dogs, friends dogs, and most importantly, my own dog There’s honestly nothing better than having a great time with a dog and seeing how happy they get. I can’t wait to meet yalls dogs and give them the best time that we have together I work full time in cancer research and get home at 5pm everyday. I would love to have the pleasure of taking care of your dog while you are at work, away, or busy with other things It’s just me in my home and there is plenty of space inside and outside for me and your dog to play, have fun, and rest
“Pam is absolutely fantastic. We have used her for years and she continues to care for Shaka with love. She is genuinely a kind and always dependable sitter. She is deeply appreciated my our family.”
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.
“Marcy was absolutely excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving medication with meals to one of our dogs, and everything was handled perfectly. When we got home, it was obvious our dogs had been well cared for. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. The house was spotless too. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Marcy again. Highly recommend!”
“Alayna stayed overnight with our (extremely!!) anxious German shepherd and not only made him feel comfortable but made us feel like he was in good hands as well. She is communicative, proactive (went out and got his favorite treats when we ran out), and just a nice/easy going person. Will be happy to have her sit for Theo anytime.”
About: I have always had animals and I’ve been watching my friends and family’s pets for over 10 years. I have experience with every size dog from French Bulldogs to Great Danes. I’ve taken a break from corporate life and am available any day to hang out, walk, feed, play, cuddle, or just about anything your pet needs. I will visit your pet anytime of day or night to make sure they are happy, healthy and well taken care of. If it’s just a ten minute drop in, an hour walk, adventure to the dog park or an overnight, my goal is to make your pet happy and comfortable.
“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”
“Cynthia was an amazing sitter! She had quite the rough weekend personally, but she was still able to give my cat all the love and attention she wanted. Cynthia sent me plenty of pictures of Gracie, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely rebook with Cynthia, as she made using Rover a fantastic experience!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Walpole
Boning is the Best. My pup was having digestive issues and Boning was on top of everything - including dealing with the mess and frequent need to go outside. She took her to the vet and administered all necessary medication. It was such a relief that Boning was taking such good care of my sick pup.
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!!
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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in East Walpole is $76 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $107 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
