“Hannah did an amazing job! We were a little nervous after a bad experience in the past with a kennel leaving our dog with a new person. Hannah came over and met us well before our trip. She was so good my dog loved her immediately so I felt comfortable going forward. She showed up promptly and was so good about me being behind schedule, took care of him while I packed up. I got updates and pictures while I was away. The house was in better shape than I left it and I can tell he got lots of attention based on his behavior when I got home he wasn't as needy as he normally is ;) We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up living with dogs. Since I was 10 years old I have helped family members with their dogs, as well as take care of my own. For the past 4 years I have worked with dogs of various sizes, ages, and personalities. During those 4 years I worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility while also doing previous dog sitting jobs. My senior dog has a heart murmur so she needs special care to live a healthy, happy life: my younger dog (who is 4 now) is deaf, so I trained him to understand sign language in order to communicate with him. He loves doing tricks and is an incredibly smart dog. I am available all days of the week for dog sitting, walking and overnight stays! I have two dogs of my own but they are low maintenance, making it convenient for me to do pet sitting for people who need it. I play with dogs who love to play and/or do activities that they love to do while they’re in my care for the day. That may include playing fetch, going for walks, or playing tug of war with a toy.

About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each dog and what makes them happiest. I’ve worked with everything from wiggly puppies who need a little help with training to older dogs who just want a slow, peaceful walk and some extra TLC. I’m super patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to run, sniff, play, or just take it easy, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have tons of free time, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a job it’s just a great part of my day. When I care for pets at your home, I try to keep everything as normal as possible for them. I stick to their usual feeding and walk times, give any meds they need, and just hang out to keep them company. I’m not perfect, but I’m always patient and caring, and I make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I’ll check in with you regularly so you know how they’re doing. If I’m watching pets at my place, I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax and plenty of attention. I’m pretty chill and try to keep things low-stress so they feel comfortable. Either way, I just want your pet to feel safe and cared for, even if I’m not perfect!

About: Hi, my name is Molly! My whole life I have always been fascinated by animals. I was fortunate enough to attend a vocational school where I learned animal science. I have taken hands on classes working with animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have done canine course work including agility, training, and grooming. My experience beyond classes includes working at two doggy daycares, alongside dog trainers, and walking dogs for a small business. I have also been walking dogs on Wag since 2021! Animal care, mainly dogs, has been a prominent part of my life. I have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds: small to giant, low energy to never ending energy, walks of all lengths in all types of weather. Additionally, I travelled for a few months earlier this year to volunteer on farms across America, gaining experience with all sorts of farm animals as well. Safe to say, I love animals! But I absolutely love dogs and I can't wait to meet your pup! I am currently in between jobs so pet care is my main interest at the moment. I have plenty of free time and lots of flexibility. Feel free to send me a message and I'm sure we can work something out! I know firsthand how important and valued pets are. To treat them as if they were my own is my goal when providing care. I understand animal body language and never push their boundaries.

About: I miss being around dogs! I gained a lot of experience with larger breeds after adopting my two high-energy puppies—a Labrador/Pit and an Australian Shepherd—about five years ago. I’ve also spent several years dog and cat sitting for friends and neighbors. A couple of my close friends needed someone to consistently walk and feed their dogs when they started full-time jobs, and I was happy to help thanks to my flexible work schedule. One of the dogs I cared for daily was a Cattle Dog with extremely high energy and strong working-dog instincts, which helped me build even more confidence in handling driven, active breeds. In addition to my dog experience, I worked at an adoptable cat café (which I miss dearly!) where I cared for cats with a variety of backgrounds and personalities. My own dogs are full of quirks and boundless energy, so I’ve become very familiar with different behaviors, temperaments, and activity levels. I’m extremely comfortable with all types of dogs—from shy and nervous to bold and snappy- and Im comfortable handling each dog where they are. Whether it’s helping an anxious pup feel safe or matching the energy of a high-drive dog on a fast-paced walk, I’m adaptable! Im currently working part-time, with days off during the week being fairly consistent. I am extremely flexible when it comes to location and times needed. I am capable of caring for pets in any type of home, and can be punctual with directions and requirements in another's home. In my home, I have a fenced-in small yard, no other pets, living in a street level unit of an apartment.

About: I love dogs and I’ve had a dog since I was two years old so most of my life I’ve had dogs and I’ve like had experience with them I have a dog myself, so I’m able to take care of a dog very easily. I have to wake up early for my dog so that won’t be an issue taking care of another dog. I’ll make sure I always keep an eye on the dog that I am watching over. Take them out for a walk and also keeping an eye on the dog and giving them attention. Just always make sure you’re aware of your environment.

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for my own pets and am comfortable with routines, attention, and companionship they need. I'm currently employed fulltime as a probation officer, but I am retiring in the near future, and I will have more time to devote to being a pet sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets would be something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I am happy to build my day around their needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also understand that pets do best when their normal routines are maintained, so I'll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable while you're away. I enjoy exploring new places, but I am equally happy spending time at home with a furry companion. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in someone's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets receive their meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I want pet owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for by someone responsible, dependable, and genuinely happy to be there. I understand that every pet has different need and personalities, so I take time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I am also respectful of the home and keep things clean and tidy.

About: Canine CPR trained. Your pup’s safety and well-being is paramount and so my general policy is to not allow your dog(s) to interact with any other dogs or people (or squirrels or skunks) unless specified. - I adopted my dog when he was two and trained him to become the calm, well-mannered gentleman he is today. Now a senior, he’s an expert at finding the best spot on the floor and supervising the household from there. Caring for him has taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra support older dogs need. I’m dependable, observant, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. - Whether your dog prefers long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or professional-level napping, I’ll treat them like my own. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is genuinely one of the best parts of my day. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets the time and attention it deserves... never rushed or squeezed in as an afterthought. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, arrive when expected, and keep you updated while you’re away. I know consistency helps pets feel safe, especially when dinner is served three minutes late and they’re considering filing a formal complaint. Safety and trust come first. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, respect the space, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I know from my own dog's personality that pets are not always committed to the honor system. I’ll maintain their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines while giving them the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. In my home, any introductions to my calm senior dog would be slow and supervised, with separate spaces available for meals and rest. I’ll also provide honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being treated with genuine care and respect.

Whether your pet needs a potty break, walk, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furr family! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine, including weekdays and weekends. I’m able to plan visits around your pet’s needs and their usual routine, and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works for everyone. I’m reliable with scheduled visits and understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet needs a quick midday check-in, a walk, feeding, medication, or some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention they need. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or giving medications as directed. I’ll pay close attention to their behavior and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout the visit.🥰🐾 I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re my own. I also love sending photos and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel like they’re getting a visit from a friend! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Freetown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,086 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 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 Freetown. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
