“Liz did an amazing job with Gizmo. She entertained her and got her out for fresh air several times during her watch. I would have Liz watch Gizmo again if I’m ever in the area.”
“Michele is by far one of the more caring and loving dog sitters we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. Whenever we leave Bob in her care, we know he will be safe and loved, almost as if it were us.”
“Annakate took excellent care of our pets while she stayed in our home. I appreciated that she didn’t mind looking after the cat and chickens as well! I loved the photo updates and that I was able to easily contact her while we were abroad. She seemed to love my very active dogs, and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Gabrielle was great with Lulu! She sent plenty of updates and followed instructions for her medication to a T! Would definitely have Gabrielle house/pet sit again!”
“It's such a relief to find quality, reliable pet care for my sweet, aging golden-doodle. Ashley spent 5 days taking care of my dog and my home. She sent photos & videos, communicated with daily updates and was attuned to his physical limitations. It's clear that Ashley loves animals and she bonds easily with them. The added bonus was how well she took care of my home! It was spotless when I returned, sheets, neatly folded, and everything in its place. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I used Katie to care for Ginger but it won’t be the last! Katie did a wonderful job taking really good care of Ginger for an overnight at my house and the day before and after. She attended to Ginger’s every need and sent me updates and pictures, too! She even left my house better than before. Don’t look any further—call Katie! But not when I need her! 😉”
About: I am a lover of animals who prioritizes their, safety, health & happiness. I have years of experiencing sitting for and walking dogs and taking care of cats. I've worked with dogs with health-related medication needs, including insulin shots, rescues who take a little time to get used to someone new, and excitable puppies. I enjoy my time with animals -- they make me feel peaceful and energized, so, taking care of them is a win-win! I am always careful to follow any instructions provided around details of care -- feeding, walking, preferences around behavior or routine, let me know -- I'm here to help put you at ease while you're away from your pet. I work full-time during on weekdays in Boston starting in the afternoons, so while I am available weekday mornings, it would be more for jobs before 10am to leave time for my commute. Weekends I usually have a lot of flexibility & I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.
“Vickie sent us lots of photos of our fur babies and asked clarifying questions about one of their meds which I greatly appreciated! (It's not your typical sit). We will hire her again when we need someone we trust to care for our cats, administer meds, and give insulin to one of them!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Freedom is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freedom
We were so blessed to have found Heidi. She was available on short notice to watch our boy. She was so wonderful with Gunner. He warmed up to her almost immediately. We had peace of mind leaving him over night with her knowing that he would be well taken care of. She shared pictures with us while she was with Gunner and was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again for our next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 196 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freedom. 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 Freedom 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 Freedom 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 Freedom 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.

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.
