About: I have never lived in a household without pets before, so taking care of cats and dogs (and fish) is something I’ve done my whole life. I’ve owned four black labs and multiple cats over the years. I especially love big dogs, but am a big fan of all animals! I am currently in law school so my availability is limited, but I am still looking for work! I am available for weekend sitting and dog walking in afternoons and early morning. I love to keep my pets active and enriched, whether that means going on a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or going to the beach for a swim!
“Patti goes above and beyond! Incredible communication, genuine care for your pets and your home! We came home to fresh made muffins, a refrigerator that looked like Martha Stewart had visited and most importantly our two pups who were well rested and obviously loved! I know we will be working with Patti again!”
“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.”
“Colleen did a wonderful job watching our dog for a week while we were out of town. She left our home extremely clean and was very communicative with updates and photos. We’d recommend her for anyone looking for pet care and house sitting!”

“Kelly was awesome. From our initial meet and greet to her pupsitting at our home for a few days, the process couldn’t have been any better. Communication was 100%. From the fun photos Kelly sent daily, we could tell our pups were so happy. We have 3 pups and 2 have special needs and she nailed it! We felt totally comfortable and will use Kelly’s service again.”

About: Hi! My name is Abby and I am 36 years old. I work from home Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:00pm. I have been watching pets since I was a kid! My uncle next door had a dog who had 3 litters of golden retriever mixes. I helped him raise and take care of them. In college, I was a nanny for a family with a lab and black cat. When they were out of town I took care of their pets. I nannied for a second family a few years later and babysat their golden retriever, bunny, and 2 persian cats when they would go on vacation as well. At times I would also babysit my sister’s chihuahua mix overnight. I had two cats for about 10 years.I also own two sugar gliders. I have a miniature pincher mix, she is the friendliest dog and gets along with any dog or person. Couch potato all day kind of dog but loves to go play with other dogs at the dog park. Pets and children are my specialty. I love all animals even if I am allergic to most of them :). I work from home mon-fri 7am-3pm. My dog gets me out of the house and if she has a friend to walk with or visit, it would be a fun playdate for her as well! I have given meds to both my cats since they are seniors. My sister’s dog had pills she had to take as well, which i would do when i babysat her. I am pretty easy going with what i need to do for who ever asks me to watch their pets because I care about what they need. I am the girl at a friends house playing with their cat and dog most of the time.
“Sara took great care of my Dane while I was out of town. She was flexible and responsive, sent updates on how my guy was doing- which was much appreciated being so far away and having not left him before. I would absolutely recommend Sara and work with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I had a neighborhood dog walking business and have always had a pet dog in my household. Along with watching friends animals (cats, dogs, exotic animals, birds, etc!. I currently have a one year old dog who’s name is Lala😊 I’ve also worked at a doggie daycare this past year where we focus on their wellbeing! I work full time as a doggie day care attendant and have a waitressing job but am flexible and open minded to what you and your dog may need:) I take care of them, go on walks, if the owners have preferences I continue those even while they are not there (in my home or their own). My goal is to make your furry companions day and provide a caring and loving environment.
“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”
“Sydney took great care of our puppy and 2 cats while we were away for the long weekend. She listened to all of our instructions about the pets' quirks and sent wonderful updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks, Sydney!”
About: I love dogs and walking outside! I have my own golden doodle. I work from home and would have a lot of availability throughout the week🙂 I work from home and am available throughout the day for dog walking services. I have a lot of flexibility and would love to walk your dog for you! I have a fenced in yard and I am in a safe neighborhood. I always make sure the dogs are on a leash etc. my home is very dog friendly.
About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Humarock
Catelyn was very conscientious. She admitted that she was new to sitting for cats, mostly has taken care of dogs, but my cats got on with her well. One is 20 and basically sleeps. Catelyn had her playing with a felt ball. The other is usually very shy and gets snarky with strangers, but Catelyn got her to play as well. She contacted me if she had concerns. She sent pictures frequently. She offered extra assistance if needed. The house was clean when we returned home. Overall a good experience and I would recommend her.
I could not recommend Angelina more! I have a very anxious dog and she went out of her way to handle her with care and provide lots of updates while she pet sat for us. She was accommodating and flexible with our request. We can’t wait to book her again in the future!

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 Humarock 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 Humarock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Humarock 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!

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 .

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.
