“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!!”
“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.”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9-month-old boxer, Teddy! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure to keep Teddy on his routine and gave him plenty of playtime. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and Teddy had a great time with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our little boy!!!!”
“Brianna did a wonderful job. Our dog, Cooper loved her. We had her come by the house twice before our vacation and when she came the 2nd time, he recognized her immediately and was so happy to see her. We were able to go away on our vacation with no worries. We knew he would be well taken care of. We came home to a happy, healthy dog! And the house was was neat and picked up. We would definitely use Brianna again next time we go away!”
“Enzo made a new friend! Raven was great. We would definitely recommend her services. We felt confident and comfortable with Enzo in Raven’s care, which was really important to us.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog Prince! She provided regular updates with pictures and we could tell he enjoyed spending the weekend with her. She administered his medications as needed as well. It was comforting to know he was in good hands!”
About: I have owned dogs for 40 years. I just recently lost my little Maltese. He was 16 years old and my best friend. Your dog will be treated like a grandchild when they are with me. One of my friends said that when she dies she wants to come back as one of my pets! I have the time and the experience to take care of your dog. I will try to accommodate your scheduling needs. If your dog requires a special diet that is not a problem. Once a week I roasted a chicken for my little guy. I just love their company. I look forward to the opportunity of spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and always having cuddle time. The house is just not the same without a dog around. I am retired so I have the flexibility to accommodate your booking and scheduling needs. No need to panic if you are delayed picking up your best friend. I adjust the day according to your dog's schedule. Your pet takes top priority. Since I only board one dog at a time (or 2 within the same family) your dog has my undivided attention all day. If your dog likes to cuddle on the couch or sleeps in your bed that is what he/she can do at my house. Before I accept a booking I require a Meet and Greet to determine if we are a good fit. I prefer small hypoallergenic breeds that DO NOT SHED!. If the dog comes to my home and does shed I will charge an extra fee of $50.00. Your dog must be house broken, bathed prior to boarding, current on all vaccines, and must have had a flea and tic treatment. I also request that anything you bring into my house is clean and laundered, like blankets and beds, etc. Your pet will never be outside unattended or off leash. Your dog becomes a member of my family during their stay and will be cared for like my own . That's a promise! I'm retired. I am home all day. Whatever schedule your dog has I can easily accommodate it. Having a dog in my home brings me much joy. The dog's needs come first. If a special diet is required or medicine needs to be given I am very capable of handling these types of situations. The dog will never be off leash when we are outside unless you have instructed otherwise. If the dog has certain "triggers" or is an anxious type we can discuss this behavior at the meet and greet and discuss how these situations are handled.
About: I've had pets and been around others since I was young. I love all animals and enjoy spending as much time with them as I can. They are usually just as excited to see me as I am too see them. I make my own schedule so my availability is very open. I can work around your schedule when needed. Nights and weekends are also open I will follow any instructions for care from pet parents. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes so this will not be an issue either.
“Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.”
“Ann Marie made me feel so comfortable. She was attentive, caring and communicative with me the entire weekend. I will definitely be using her again for overnights!!”
“Kay was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet the day before and Willy, our pup, instantly loved her. Me too! She took great care of our dog and was an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Kay-she’s amazing!”
“Ani was phenomenal, checked in with us regularly and sent us pictures! Our house was immaculate when we got back and our senior dogs were so happy! We would definitely recommend Ani any time!”
About: I have nine years of experience owning and taking care of an adopted dog. I have about two years of additional experience pet sitting and walking with dogs of all sizes, from young to senior pups, as well as cats. I am a recent college graduate currently job searching, so my schedule is very open at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends for overnight stays or daily check ins. The safety and health of your pets will be my number one priority. I will make sure your pet gets more than enough attention, exercise, and love!
“Robin was excellent. The cats took to her right away. While we were away she would send us photos of our pets and plants so we could rest assured they were all well taken care of. My son has a LOT of plants that are very important to him, each requiring very specific care. Not only did Robin keep them alive, some of them actually did better than when we are at home! She was meticulous. Finding a pet sitter you can trust is so important. But finding someone for all those complicated plants is nearly impossible! We will definitely be booking with Robin again next time we go away.”

Macy took such great care of my dogs during the Nor’easter! I was extremely nervous to leave my dogs with someone other than family, but I had nothing to worry about! The dogs were happy all weekend and Macy consistently sent me updates and pictures! I would definitely have Macy sit for me again!
Amanda is our go-to for pet sitting & occasional dog walking. We have hired her for years - and we always know that we can relax and enjoy our vacation because she is taking such great care of our pup and two cats. Highly recommend. We have never had a concern about reliability or the care of our home.
This is our second time booking with Margaret and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s taken great care of our German Shepherd and been prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog loves her and my stepdaughter loves the pictures she sends too! I will absolutely continue to rebook with Margaret for sitting in the future and would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Foxboro is $86 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Foxboro 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 Foxboro 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 Foxboro 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Foxboro. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
