“Meaghon was wonderful to work with! Incredibly responsive and my brood loved spending the weekend with her. We were very fortunate to have found her and can’t wait to book future trips knowing our babies will be in the best of hands!”
“Amanda was super prompt and responsive while we were out of town! She stayed at our home with our clingy border collie and gave great updates and pictures - they got out and about as much as possible during a heatwave but had plenty of snuggles and scritches inside in the AC. She left the house in perfect order. We would love to have her stay again in the future!”
“Jorden is amazing! Sent pictures every day. Always got back to me quickly. Our dog was a little apprehensive having a new person in house and Jorden took it all in stride and calmed Bonnie and Jorden became Bonnie’s best friend. Jorden kept Bonnie calm during fireworks. Definitely recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of my roommates dog for the past 3.5 years whenever he’s occasionally out on trips. I have also been trusted to dog sit for other family and friends in previous years. I’ll make sure that they get a good walk in, feed them based on their dietary requirements given, play with them, clean up any messes they make, and will make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work about 32-35 hours a week and usually have early shifts where I get out around 2:30-3:30pm, with the occasional 11:30-8 shift once a week. So I’ll be around to care for your pet before and after work! On Wednesdays I am unavailable due to my partner needing my car to travel to his workplace. I make sure that your pets are cared for depending on their needs and will keep a good eye on your dogs while outside in the backyard whether it’s fenced in or not. I love giving them cuddles during the beginning and end of the day and is comfortable with sharing the bed with them as well!
“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”
“Jay stepped in at very short notice to help us out when another sitter fell through. We really appreciated her quick response and regular communication during the transition as well as throughout the sitting. She is very reliable and sends lots of photos and updates. Our pets are in good hands with Jay! We’ve been able to have her house sit two times and would love to have her again.”
“Jenna was awesome! It was the first time leaving our pup for the night and I missed him as soon as I left but Jenna sent a picture right away of her and him playing outside together. He looked so happy and it made me feel so much better! Throughout the night she continued to send me several pictures and keep me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend booking with Jenna!”
“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Kendra was professional, prompt, and communicative. Our little pup took to her well, and she clearly enjoyed Kendra's company. Kendra was very conscientious regarding the house. I would recommend her highly.”
“Toysa is an enthusiastic and positive dog lover. Our two mini-dachshunds love her and she is patient as they jump all over her and attack her with kisses! Our home was neat and well cared for, and she did more than we asked her to! She responds quickly, sent pics, and our dogs were happy and healthy on our return. Definitely recommend Toysa!”
“We loved Kayla and so did Bella! Kayla gave us great updates/pictures on Bella and things going on at our house. When we arrived home everything was in place and she even took out the trash!! Don’t want to recommend Kayla, because we want to save her for ourselves!! No, Only kidding we highly recommend her, she was fantastic!! ;)”
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! I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for pets in the past, so I understand how important it is to provide them with love, patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m also a proud cat parent to my 6-year-old cat, which has given me years of experience understanding a cat’s needs, personality, and daily routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, providing companionship, or giving extra cuddles, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your furry family member receives the best possible care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I have experience caring for my family’s dog and my friends’ pets, along with being a proud cat parent to my 6-year-old cat. I’m familiar with daily feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ I prefer pet sitting in your home because I believe pets feel most comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. Staying in their own home allows them to maintain their routines and feel less stressed while you’re away. I respect each pet’s boundaries, pay attention to their body language, and let them approach me at their own pace. I believe animals deserve the same kindness, patience, and respect as humans. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and loved, just as I would want someone to care for my own 6-year-old cat. 🐾❤️

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.

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.

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.
