Jenna took excellent care of my cat Voodoo while I was away. She spent time with him daily and saw that he was well fed and kept him company. She is pleasant and professional. I would be happy to employ her again.

We had an amazing experience with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for five nights with our two dogs and took such great care of them. Her communication was excellent. She checked in regularly and sent us pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were clearly comfortable and well-loved. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was five years old, and that love has never wavered. Over the past five decades, I’ve cared for an extraordinary range of breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Collies, Lhasa Apsos, Jack Russells, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, among others. I currently share my home with three Chihuahuas of my own, ranging from 8 months to 7 years old, so your dog will always have friendly, familiar company. My experience goes well beyond basic care: I have bottle fed newborn Chihuahuas rejected by their mother, and I am currently completing CPR certification specifically for dogs. I am bully breed friendly and comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes. I bring reliability, genuine dedication, and a deep belief that every dog deserves the highest standard of love and respect, and you can be sure that is exactly what your pet will receive in my care. As a semi-retired professional who works from home, my schedule is highly flexible and centered around my three dogs. Your pet will never be left alone for long stretches; I'm home the vast majority of the day, which means regular walks, playtime, meals, and attention are built into the routine naturally. I treat pet care not as a side task but as a core part of my day. Your dog will be staying on a private two-acre property with a semi enclosed backyard: plenty of space to run, explore, and decompress. Please note that the front yard is not fenced, so all outdoor front-yard time is leashed and supervised. Inside, your pet will have a dedicated private room, cozy bedding, and a crate available upon request (crate reimbursement appreciated). In the event of any medical concern, the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is conveniently located on State Road in Swansea.

About: I’ve been in a pet loving family since I can remember. Taking in animals in need and caring for neighborhood pets is something I have been doing since a young age. I am a go to friend for someone needing a house sitter while they are away or just someone to stop in to feed. I have pets of my own including a cat needing medication and have experience caring for cats with special needs. I would love to make my new part time job caring for your pet. I currently work from home, Monday through Friday and have weekends off. I can drop in for a visit or walk your dog anytime with some notice. I am very detail oriented and take pride in doing my very best. I have no issues following specific direction especially for high maintenance or high need pets. From my past experiences with many different kinds or animals I can safely judge when redirection or intervention would be necessary.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping out with friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level and do my best to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. my dog struggles with anxiety, so I also have some experience dealing with that. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m available on weekends and typically have flexibility with my scheduling during typical working hours (9-5) to care for your pet! I’m happy to work around your pets normal routine for walks, feeding, playtime and check ins. I treat pets like I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and close attention. I carefully follow any instructions you leave, keep pets secure on walks or in the home, and check in if I have any questions. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.

My very young, but large and high-energy dog did exceedingly well with Connor. Having come into my life last October, I had not once left Chance in the care of anyone else. I was, of course, a bit nervous about how he would fare. He was rescued from a terrible situation and suffers from anxiety. I’ve worked hard to help Chance adjust, and I have made good progress. I had no reason to fear! Connor knew instinctively how to connect with Chance, and it is clear that I had the right person for this dog! I highly recommend Connor and thank him for taking a chance on Chance!

Maddie was amazing! She communicated daily and took such good care of our babies. The house was clean and just how we left it when we got home. It’s such a relief to have found someone we can trust with our dogs- we’re going to be using her every time we travel going forward!

FAQs for House Sitting - Freetown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 3,203 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freetown. 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 Freetown 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 Freetown 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 Freetown 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Freetown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
