“Vanessa is amazing! She took such great of our three pets. Our dog is incredibly nervous with strangers and he absolutely loves her. Will absolutely be booking with Vanessa again!”
“Jesse took great care of Millie while we were gone and left our home in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the communication and photos. Would def work with Jesse again!”
“I’m happy to add to the list of excellent reviews for Jakk! She took terrific care of our mini poodle, our two cats and our house while we were out of town. We came back to content animals, a tidy home, AND a fresh baked, delicious cinnamon sugar bread! Jakk also went the extra mile and took our dog to the groomer so I didn’t have to reschedule his appointment. She sent regular photos and videos and was very reachable, flexible, and responsive. At first I was anxious to leave our floofs with someone new to us, but it took about 30 seconds to realize Jakk loves animals and they love her back. We’re incredibly grateful for her work, kindness, and professionalism. What a delightful person and great animal sitter. Thank you!”
“On time and very communicative! She was very attentive and let us know when one of the dogs got sick. Our boys loved hanging out with Branka for the day and would love to play with her again!”
About: I got my own dog (Cavapoo) in 2020 and spent a substantial amount of time training him when he was a puppy. I have also done overnight dog sitting for a family I regularly babysit for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 😊 I am currently a school-based mental health therapist. Half of the week, I work remotely. I am looking for house/pet sitting roles that allow me to go to work (when in-person) for a few hours and then come back to be with your pet the rest of the afternoon/night. I am usually totally free on the weekends!! I tend to spoil pets (in a good way)! I give them lots of attention and love. I love cuddling with pets, taking them on walks, and giving them treats. I am also very attuned and consistent with any predetermined schedules or routines that you may have for your pet
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
“Catherine was great! She arrived a little early to get familiar with dogs, routines and house and had a great way with the dogs. She is definitely an experienced dog sitter and the dogs seemed very comfortable with her. We plan to use her again and recommend her services.”
“Lauren was amazing! She gave me updates throughout our visit, was super communicative and kind, and put me at ease leaving my 4mo old pup with someone else for the first time!! Will definitely be using her again :)”
“Maria was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was so accommodating with a last minute request to watch our dog, Zolie. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Maria as she has experience with reactive dogs. We would definitely love to work with her again!”
“Rebecca watched my two dogs this weekend and was wonderful. She took great care of them and bonded with them quickly! She was responsive with communication with me and sent regular updates and pictures of the dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care of our dogs and will be asking her again to watch them!”
About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime. At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
“Samantha is a dream. Excellent communicator, an easy houseguest, and took fantastic care of our Goldendoodle. This was my first time using Rover and I hope Samantha is free every time I travel in the future. She sent us updates with photos and little messages that left me feeling at ease knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. Total peace of mind.”
“Michael was extremely professional, communicative and responsive when booking on short notice. It was our first time leaving the newest rescue. He did a great job with the two dogs. We felt very comfortable when leaving the house and could enjoy our evening.”
“Catherine was an incredible help with our dog and our sassy cat! She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
“10,000 stars! Halla is amazing - came to house sit/ dog sit for 2 weeks while I was away. She was so wonderful with the dogs. Sent photos + updates and was super patient with my stubborn Husky and crazy puppy. House looked great when I got back - would 100% book her again + recommend to anyone.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they're away. I've helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is working on potty training, crate training, or following a specific routine, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. For privacy and safety reasons, I don’t offer home tours.
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
About: I've had Cats all my life, and Dogs as long as I can remember! I worked my way up from Attendant to Supervisor at a local Veterinary Hospital I was at for 6 1/2 years. I had 15 Attendants working underneath me that I hired, scheduled and trained. I was in charge of Small and Large Breed boarding departments, Doggie Daycare, and cats as well. My duties consisted of Monitoring, Feeding, Medicating and exercising Boarding and Daycare Animals from Friendly to Aggressive and Puppies to Seniors. I now have an open schedule because I recently resigned from my 5 year Personal Care Assistant position caring for a human in hopes of putting myself through college by caring for Dogs, my passion! I do have 2 young boys so I’m only available for walks and drop-ins at this time while they are in school anywhere from about 9am through 2pm Mondays through Fridays while school is in session. I have a friendly 1 year old spayed female at home that I trained myself. She has a blast playing ball and going for our daily walks. I have the desire and the time to take care of your four legged besties! I love to exercise and get outside so I have the energy to keep up with your pet and tire them out. =)
About: I have a biology degree from Salem state university as well as three years of veterinary medicine experience. I am Currently applying to veterinary schools! I’m currently working in Marblehead. I’m available for pet sitting! Please reach out to me to work out the details of your pet care needs! I do not currently have any pets. I’m unfortunately not able to pet sit at my own home due to a family member with allergies. I have been pet sitting at clients home for about 5 years. I’m available for local pet sitting upon request.

Lauren was wonderful watching our 3 fur babies. She was especially attentive to our Sammy who recently had surgery. She treated all our pups like her own and kept me up to date on what was happening while we were out. She was wonderful and I would definitely recommend booking her

FAQs for House Sitting - Hathorne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hathorne on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,008 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hathorne. 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 Hathorne 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 Hathorne 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 Hathorne 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
