About: I work/major in the animal medicine industry! Been taking care of friends and especially my own pets for some time now! I have always had a keen liking to dogs and am currently a foster home to kittens/Pregnant Queens/Cats. I will treat your pet just like my own, Family! I am fully devoting my time to your pets, so my weekdays (when you really need someone) are free for you! I can be very flexible and adjust to what you need from me! I have experience with different animals, lifestyles, and breeds! I can feed, crate, walk, and even bathe if you need me to! I have a broad knowledge from my schooling in veterinary medicine to understand how each animal is different and how I, myself, can change my ways to suit your pet!
About: Hi! I’m Linh - your pet’s favorite aunt. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep their routine consistent, keep them happy, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable with animals of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication throughout your booking because I know you’re trusting me with family, not just a pet. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. I am currently accepting bookings through September 2026. Availability for October and beyond will be released at a later date. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. For housesitting, availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and adjust activities based on weather, age, health, and energy level. During hot weather, walks may be shortened when needed to prevent overheating, with the remaining time spent on indoor play.
“5 stars all around im so glad i found Tricia to watch my family dogs while we went out of town for the holidays. She’s amazing and the dogs LOVE her. She went above and beyond at every opportunity and treated both our home and our dogs with care and respect. So lucky to have found her. Highly recommend. Thank you Tricia!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Loma. We were able to travel and know she was in good hands. We highly recommend Julie-Anne who has stayed in our home twice during our trips and everything was perfect.”
About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.
“Marlin stayed with Alyssa for the weekend and had such a good time! She sent multiple photos during his stay and took great care of him. Would definitely book again with her again. Thank you!”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Summer while we were abroad for our wedding and honeymoon. We were so grateful that she stayed at our house, which allowed Summer to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment while we were away. Summer immediately liked Rachel and was snuggling with her on the couch right away, which gave us confidence from day one that she was in great hands. Rachel also sent us lots of pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind and really allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”
“Becki is terrific. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. I hesitate to say that because I want her all to myself, but we need to share the best! Great with my dog, communicative, intelligent.”
“Salina was amazing! She watched my highly dramatic Frenchie, Sassy Cat and my little old lady Cat for nine days. I could not be more thankful for the care that she gave them. She was excellent at communicating. She made me feel comfortable, knowing that while I was away, everyone was being taken care of. When we got home, I had three happy animals and my house was immaculate.”
About: I’ve owned a pit/lab for a while as it was my dog in the house with my family giving me the responsibility from young to care for the dog the way it needed to be. I would say there isn’t much to worry when I am watching the pets and a thorough job will be done whatever that job is. I am currently a transferring student athlete, from Boston but coming from Michigan (school) I’m now looking for a job but am totally free right now and unemployed. I will have anytime throughout the week available to be with the pal and help out and love being active with dogs as much as possible. I’d say I’m a very observant person when it comes to watching mine or someone’s else’s belonging, so would continuously have an eye on the dog or cat and would make sure the environment is the way I found it if not better.
“Lauren has come to feed/walk a couple times as well as done overnight with my little guy. She is consistent, reliable and great with communication. Most importantly she gives my pup the love and attention he needs 🐾🫶”
About: I grew up with three dogs, have dog-sat for neighbors, and lived with a cat that I helped care for. I am very energetic and I have cared for puppies and both large and small dogs. I have a full time job with some flexibility, so I am free most evenings/nights and all of Saturday. My Sunday availability is in the morning to mid-day. I am happy to play with and entertain pets, and follow your instructions on feeding, walks, and house rules. I have had an anxious dog, so I want to make sure your pet is comfortable.
“Grateful for Juliana! Had a sitter accidentally double book with us and scrambled and was grateful to find her. The dogs loved her and she gave updates upon request. Would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.
“Olivia went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and the house! She communicates clearly, made me feel comfortable that our fur babies were being taken care of, and left the house even cleaner that how she received it.”
“I had an amazing experience with my dog and pig sitter, Eliza, who stayed at my home for over a week. She took exceptional care of both my dog and pig, and I came home to animals that were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Eliza made sure both animals received their medicine (rolling with the punches because Buddy got an infection right before we left so it was an added responsibility she took on in stride) Eliza was incredibly thoughtful and sent regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that my pets were getting real attention, not just basic care. She was also very communicative and responsive whenever I had questions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. My dog Buddy clearly bonded with her during the stay, he actually seemed a little sad when Eliza left, buddy went to the room she stayed in when we got home from our trip 😂 before sleeping where he usually. Highly recommend I would trust Eliza again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Jacqueline- she is so caring and thinks of everything. I feel secure that my pets are well taken care of when she’s with them.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Framingham Center is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Framingham Center
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!
Every time we plan a vacation, we make sure to check whether Haley will be available to take care of our shepherd during those dates of our absence. She is very caring and reliable. We told our closest friends about our experience, and they asked us to give them a way to get in touch with Haley. We have only positive emotions from our side—and from our beloved dog as well.
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!!
Nicholas was incredibly communicative and worked great with our dogs! One of our dogs is a covid dog and has a hard time with introductions to new people, and he liked Nicholas right away. They had quite a few medications (our dog dog a skin infection right before we left) and he handled it all really well. Would definitely recommend Nicholas!

FAQs for House Sitting - Framingham Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Framingham Center on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,924 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Framingham Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
