“We seriously could not have asked for a better dog sitter for Archie. Meaghon took amazing care of him while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind the entire trip. Communication was excellent with updates, photos, and check ins that made it so easy to relax knowing Archie was in such good hands. When we came home we could immediately tell Archie was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell Meaghon genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. She was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. We were so impressed that we have already rebooked with her again. Highly recommend Meaghon to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pets!”
“Amanda was awesome. My Nani girl who is leery of strangers took to right away upon meeting her the first time. She kept in contact and let me know how the pups were doing and sent pics too. All the dogs seemed very happy and calm when we got home.”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Jorden. Jorden is amazing with Sam. Sam gets sad everytime Jorden leaves because he is spoiled rotten. Its nice to have someone watch Sam and take such great care of him. Jorden sends great updates daily to keep us updated on how things are going on. Its nice to know that Sam is being taken care of and in good hands. Thank Jorden..and we will definitely keep booking you whenever we need help with Sam!!”
“It was a relief to have Julisa take care of our cat and dog while we were away! It's not easy taking care of a senior dog like ours but we knew he was in good hands. Lots of pictures and videos kept us updated and both pets were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve had several pets while growing up, ranging from turtles, to birds, to dogs! I’ve additionally had 7+ dogs that I’ve owned throughout the years of my life. My friends and family come to me if they need someone to walk or take care of their pets, or to give them advice they might need! I am currently free most times of the day! I have open availability for all week days, and could potentially be available some weekends as well. Of course I would need to work around already existing clients, but nothing I can’t figure out! I will walk your dog for however long you need me to. I have no problem with long walks and lots of exercise as I’m usually in the gym about 5 days a week, leading me to be pretty fit and diligent for things of that nature. I will make sure your pet uses the bathroom, gets all its energy out, and is happy!
About: Have owned/cared for all ages.Willingness to train puppies. Favor outdoor activities such as walks. Very fond of animals and comfortable around them in home or public. Currently working part-time from home so flexible schedule for now. Willing to stay over when my schedule allows but probably no more than 36 hours Can not care for a dog in my current living situation. If ok, happy to bring your pet in my car for local road trips.
About: I have been actively sitting for my friends and family’s pets for about 4 years now. I love taking care of everyone’s fur babies when they are away or as needed. I have a very flexible schedule so I can stop in for a quick visit or I can stay overnight, or multiple nights, if requested. I will ensure your fur babies will be getting fed, proper exercise, and all the attention and love under my care. I am currently not working so I am very open and flexible with whatever you may need. I am looking to do this to fill some of my time and make a little money before eventually going back to work full time - also testing if this could be a full time gig. I make sure to follow pet parents instructions, whatever you ask of me I will follow. A typical day with a pet for me includes some cuddling when waking up. Then I will take them outside to do their business. I am familiar with bathroom clean up, as well as dogs that just run into the woods and go. I have also worked with leashed dogs or collar trained dogs - even if I am not outside with them I typically keep an eye on them. After that they will have breakfast. Then I make sure to let them outside every couple of hours following that. In between letting them outside, I will hangout with them, give them plenty of attention, and maybe we’ll go for a walk depending on the dog. Then I will feed them dinner when it’s an appropriate time, take them out one or two more times in the night and we will go to sleep.
“Kayla did a great job under difficult circumstances. She was available on short notice, communicated well, took great care of two Huskies in a brutal heat wave. Kayla took great care of the house, and afforded me the peace of mind one needs to have when you leave your dogs with a sitter. Thank Kayla - much appreciated.”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
About: Hi! I’m Melinda, a lifelong animal lover who knows how much our pups mean to us. 🐶💜 I’m dependable, patient, and love getting to know every dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, playtime, a drop-in visit, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. 🐾✨ I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 5:30 PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and loving companionship around your schedule. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stay in their familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with respect, patience, and care.
About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic, owned some pets, so I'm comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.
About: I’ve been taking care of animal since I was 4 years old! I grew up in Ecuador and having animals around made for an awesome childhood. I currently work around my own schedule. I will accommodate your needs based on availability and the number of pets I am caring for . I care for them as if they were my own. Growing up I had all types of animals and I’m a good observer therefore I always end up winning their trust and love.
About: Hi there! I’m Emily, an animal lover with a soft spot for furry friends of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or just curling up for cuddles, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats — from playful puppies and energetic breeds to mellow senior pets who just want a cozy companion. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time, however, I am home during the weekend and have a lovely park near my home to walk your pet around if they need! Or I can come to you and walk around your home! I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family! Whether I’m in your home or mine, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to follow your specific instructions and routines — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles — so your pet feels secure and happy.
“Bethany took great care of Bailey while I was on vacation in Florida visiting my family! I highly recommend her for overnights as well as anything else required. She is very knowledgeable and caring.”

Your furry friend will always be treated like family! I’m currently a part-time medical aesthetician and college student, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my weekly routine! 🐾 Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, and I enjoy using my free time to provide them with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I do my best to accommodate different schedules and make sure every furry friend feels loved and cared for while their owners are away! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, daily routines, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or extra cuddles, I treat every furry friend as if they were my own! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hubbardston is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $57 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hubbardston 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 Hubbardston 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 Hubbardston 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 Hubbardston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
