About: I’ve been around animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life and would love to spend time with your furry family member. Whether I am there for a drop-in visit, a walk or an extended stay, you can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the utmost care and attention. I am a postdoc researcher at Harvard and commute to Cambridge every day so I cannot provide midday drop-in visits during the week. That being said I will be sure to give your pet extra attention at the beginning and end of the day. I prefer to watch your pet in your home so they are more comfortable in a familiar environment. When in your home, I will always be respectful of your space!
About: @lagantiva_rover For the past 20 years. I have had several pets such as dogs, rabbits, cats and I have rescued birds . I have experience caring for sick dogs and giving medication if necessary. Taking care of your pet will be my full-time job, I will be attentive to their needs and make sure they have a lot of fun. I will make your pet feel free at home, if you have a routine I will accommodate the same so that your pet will have a lot of fun and doesn’t miss your home too much
About: I love animals, but most of all I love dogs. I started volunteering with a rescue in North Carolina, where I walked shelter dogs, mostly bully breeds. I also have several of my own dogs, so I have lots of experience caring for dogs, walking them, and playing with them. I love to play in the backyard with toys and balls, and I also enjoy taking a stroll around the neighborhood. I find that dogs need both physical stimulation, as well as mental stimulation throughout the day. I am not allergic to any types of dogs or cats. I am willing to provide both to the best of my ability. Please rest assured that your dog will be loved as if it were my own, and be in great hands!
About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was a kid, they are both senior dogs and one of them has been with me ever since he was a puppy, so have experience with dogs both young and old. I feed them every day twice a day and (when necessary) give them baths. Additionally, I often look after my neighbor's dog as well which I've been doing for many years. I always make sure she gets plenty of walks, food, and play time. More recently I've gotten to learn more about taking care of cats. I have not had a cat of my own, but I was lucky enough to live with a friend who had a cat for 3/4 of my college years, and I greatly enjoyed playing with her and making sure she was happy. I'm a recent college graduate and I'm currently home looking for part time/full-time work, so I am available all day to look after dogs, cats, or other pets. I have a small fenced in yard that I can bring any dogs to, there are also a few parks near me that I can bring dogs to as well if they prefer a bigger play/run around space. I also have plenty of dog toys and treats that my dogs can share with others.
About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with golden retrievers, so big, happy, shedding dogs feel like home to me. Today I'm mom to Birdie, a Great Pyrenees, so I'm very comfortable handling big, strong, fluffy dogs (and vacuuming up after them). Her best friend Benson, a black lab from a few streets over, boards with us when his parents go on vacation, so I know how to manage two dogs under one roof. Over the years I've also cared for friends' dogs while they traveled. Before this, I co-owned a wedding photography business for 15 years, which taught me reliability, clear communication, and staying calm when things get chaotic. Every visit includes photo updates, so you'll never wonder how your pup is doing. Pets are at the center of my daily life. I'm currently taking a break from office work, so my schedule is wide open. That means I'm available for midday walks, flexible drop-ins, and last-minute requests. My days revolve around long walks with Birdie, time in my garden, and keeping the pets in my care happy, fed, and well-exercised. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I don't have a fenced yard, so every dog stays on a leash at all times, whether we're out on a walk or taking a quick bathroom break. There are no off-leash adventures and no chances taken, which means no escape artists. I keep a close eye on body language, watch for wildlife and other dogs on our routes, and stick to well-known local paths. Doors, gates, and leashes get double-checked every time. I'll follow your pet's routine, diet, and any special instructions to the letter, and I'll keep you updated with photos so you always know how they're doing.
“Chelsea took as good care of Lucy as we do ourselves. Lucy was excited to see us, but not over the top because she received so much attention from Chelsea while we were away.”
“Natasha was a great sitter! She was communicative, punctual, respectful, and kind. She took great care of Finn and was everything we were looking for in a sitter. We felt comfortable leaving our new puppy with her and came home to a very happy dog.”
About: Over the past 5 years fostering dogs through a local rescue, I’ve cared for pups of every personality—big and small, young and old, from playful goofballs to those with behavioral or medical challenges. My goal is to create lasting bonds with dogs and their families, offering compassionate, reliable care tailored to each unique dog. I work remotely from my home in Framingham MA & hence have fairly flexible availability to handle your dog. So I can adjust to your schedules & make it work. For me, fulfilling your dog's mental & physical needs are of utmost importance. I strongly believe in discipline and routine that gives a dog a defined structure to live & flourish. I also actively listen to what the pups' families convey and respect the routine that they provide and keep that up as much as possible.
“We are indebted to Melissa who stayed flexible and cared for our dogs as we fought a Midwest snowstorm that changed travel plans! She was communicative and patient- to have someone so reliable and who are dogs clearly love puts our minds at ease when we have to be away.”
“Christie was absolutely wonderful! She sent tons of pictures and updates. She treated our pups like they were her own, took great care of our home and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing how well-cared for they were. We would highly recommend Christie and will definitely have her sit for us again! ♥️”
“If we could give Bianca 10 shining stars, we would! Bianca took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper, in our home. Bianca arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Bianca sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Bianca has our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Bianca!!!!!”

Linh was incredibly attentive to our dog's needs, and responsive to our comments and instructions. She's a delightful, conscientious person whom we felt very fortunate to have to take care of our beloved dog and house in our absence. The house was spotless when we returned, and our dog seemed great. We ca't recommend Linh more highly.
Elizabeth was great with our pets (two dogs, two cats)! They clearly enjoyed her being here. She kept us up to date with timely reports and a few pictures (which is what we asked for). When our German shepherd hurt her foot jumping off the retaining wall, which she does all the time, Elizabeth helped us assess whether she needed a vet visit or not. We look forward to having Elizabeth watch the pets again!
Larissa is a gem - she was so warm and energetic with our golden retriever! She was always responsive on text and sent us updates throughout the weekend. She asked good questions and followed instructions carefully. She also was very respectful of our home. I would definitely book her again!
Hailey was amazing! We left for a week and she took wonderful care of our two cats and our small dog at home. She stayed overnight, sent us updates and pictures every day, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. It was obvious our pets loved her. They looked happy and comfortable in every update, and when we got home, they seemed relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. She also treated our home with great respect. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
Sarah fully understands the assignment and executes the plan like a pro! She stayed in our house and sat our two dogs (including a blind, partially deaf old lady) for a week while we were out of the country. She gave us frequent updates, pictures and videos, and kept the house so clean. She was a delight to work with and we are not easy customers! We look forward to the next chance to work with her! Highly recommend Sarah!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Framingham is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $125 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,690 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Framingham. 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 Framingham 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 Framingham 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 Framingham 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 Framingham. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
