“Gavin is such a great dog sitter!! He watched our 2 dogs while we were away on vacation & they both loved him. He was available to provide updates via message and picture, followed all the care instructions, and was willing to head over to our apartment early to check on our dogs.”
“Ashlee is amazing! I was very hesitant on hiring someone that I did not know to watch my five cats while I was away on vacation for an entire week and Ashlee immediately made me feel comfortable from the second I met her. she stayed at my house and sent me pictures on a regular basis and kept me updated. I can home so relaxed and at ease. I would highly recommend her!”
“Patricia did a great job caring for our kitties. One gets a bunch of medications, and the other gets stressed without human company, so it’s not easy leaving them. She was so communicative, flexible and thoughtful. The cats were happy to see us when we got home, which is their way of saying they had a good time.”
“Allegra is incredible! We asked her last minute to stay for the weekend with our Bernese Mountain Dog. She was communicative, punctual and so kind. She updated us all weekend with photos and activities. Our home was exactly as we left it. She even laundered our sheets for us! We will definitely be relying on Allegra in the future.”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.”
“Alyssa was an amazing dog sitter! She sent daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very responsive, informative. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were in great hands. We would absolutely trust Alyssa to watch our dogs again!”
“I felt really comfortable leaving Isabella to care for my house, dog and fish. She gave updates constantly and was always quick to respond to my texts. It was an added bonus that she took great pictures of my dog!”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Catherine was awesome - we had 3 pups under her watch and all were looked after great (walked, fed, and played with) and had a fun. They were tired when we got back, so we know they enjoyed it!”
“Eva took such wonderful care of our 18 week old puppy! Lots of walks and special attention. It was our first time leaving our puppy and we were reassured throughout our vacation by Eva’s photos and updates. She also took great card of our house - even my potted plants looked better when we returned!”
“Danielle was great! She shared great updates and pics of kuzco while we were traveling and it was clear how much she cared about him being comfortable and having a good time with her!”
“Cynthia was very responsive and responsible right from the beginning. Given that we had had some past unpleasant experiences with house sitting, she was very receptive to our instructions and kept us informer. On the day of our return, as our flight was landing late, she offered to stay back late till we arrived! We would be definitely using her services quite often.”
“Isis took such great care of our dogs. One was sick and had medicine she needed to distribute, and the other got a UTI while we were away. Isis was able to care for both of them as if they were her own. We got wonderful updates and pictures and had such piece of mind ☺️ We're so glad we met Isis!”
“Nicole and Steve did an amazing job looking after our Zona! We were away for a weekend and wanted someone who can stay at our place, since our dog is a senior with poor vision. Zona felt really comfortable with them. Nicole updated us daily with pictures. Her experience with animals made us feel at ease and we knew Zona is in good hands. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean house. Nicole and Steve are great and we will definitely use their help in the future!”
“Isabelle was amazing. We can tell Mia loved being with her with all the updates, notes and photos she would send us! We are so grateful we found Isabelle and will for sure use her services whenever we go away!”
“Arshneel was amazing! This was our first time using Rover after moving to a new city. Arshneel was so communicative before and during her stay with our girl Ruby. I explained my nervousness about our pup feeling anxious when we left since she’s in a new space, so Arshneel made sure to come over before we left to help ease the transition. Throughout her stay she kept us updated and provided great care to Ruby. Our apartment was super tidy when we got back! We will 100% work with Arshneel again and would recommend her to anyone!”

Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.
Bailey was a great communicator and took care of both our two large pups and our home while we were away for 3 nights. She made fast friends with the dogs and locked into their routine. She stayed at our house and was respectful helped keep everything tidy and made sure we didn’t go more than a few hours with an update. She made us feel like we made the right choice choosing her to help us out. Would definitely recommend and hire again!
If you are looking for a dog walker who will love your pups as much as you do, look no further than Syenna! Finding someone you trust completely with your home and pets can be nerve-wracking, but Syenna put all our worries to rest. Our two dogs, Cooper and Scuttle, are absolutely obsessed with her. She doesn’t just take them on routine walks—she gives them great exercise, keeps them safe, and never skips the most important part: the post-walk tummy rubs! The moment she arrives, Cooper and Scuttle start spinning with joy and literally flop at her feet. Syenna is reliable, punctual, professional, and deeply attentive to their individual personalities. Having her in our routine brings us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in the best possible hands. Cooper, Scuttle, and our entire family give her 10 out of 5 stars! Thank you, Syenna!
Molly was absolutely fantastic. We were so worried because our plans fell through for someone to watch our Maggie girl, so we needed someone last minute to stay at our house while we were away on an extended weekend trip. We had never used Rover before so we were a little cautious. Molly came over our home before the trip to meet us all, play with Maggie, and let us ask her a bunch of questions. Molly was not only amazing with Maggie- giving us updates throughout the trip but not being a bother, kept her routine and even letting her play outside with her best friend (our neighbor’s dog)- but she was also so respectful to our home. We came home and our home was spotless, just the way we left it. I would HIGHLY recommend Molly.
We asked Zahara to walk/watch our dog Leo while we were gone and she exceeded our expectations. She communicated everything that was happening with Leo along with any of her concerns. Plus she would keep us informed on what they were doing that day. Leo seemed to love her company and we would hire her again any day of the week if needed. I Highly recommend her.
Valerie stayed with our three dogs for five days and did a great job managing their meds and keeping up with their schedule. She gave us regular updates and left our house spotless. We came home to three dogs that barely seemed to notice we’d been gone. We will be calling Valerie again!
Eva exceeded every expectation. Minka can be temperamental but she was 100% comfortable with Eva from their first meeting. Some people have a natural empathy with animals and Eva is one of them. Eva kept us up to date with daily pictures and reports. I have never been more comfortable entrusting Minka’s care with anyone more than I was entrusting Minka to Eva. And the house was spotless when we returned. I recommend Eva without reservation.
Christina stayed with our three busy dogs for a long weekend; she gave regular updates and followed all of their weird medication, supplement, and feed protocols without a hitch. She was super flexible when our travel plans coming home were uncertain, and left our house spotless. We look forward to having her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hingham on Rover is $86.03 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,953 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hingham. 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 Hingham 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 Hingham 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 Hingham 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.

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.
