“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”
“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!”
“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”
“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
“Ailise did a wonderful job housesitting with my cavapoo Freddie over the long weekend! She sent great updates, videos, and photos of my boy, and I felt confident that he was safe in her care. She left my apartment in great condition. I highly recommend Ailise and would definitely book with her again! Thank you :)”
“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 :)”
“Sarah is amazing. So responsive, so responsible and so lovely. She housesat for us for almost two weeks, caring for our dog and our elderly cat. I cannot recommend her enough. A true angel.”
“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”
“Isis was so attentive and left such detailed and thoughtful messages for us. Our dog got sick in the middle of the night and she handled it, cleaned it, and let us know what happened in a timely manner. She even then changed our dog's breakfast to help their tummy. We will definitely be asking Isis back 🧡”
About: I am a medical student who loves pets! I grew up with dogs in my home and always have one around me if I can help it. Experience boarding and walking dogs of all ages and sizes. Great at giving necessary medications and caring for any needs that arise. I’ve walked for Wag previously. I’m currently out of school for the summer so I’ll be able to fit in dog walks and give lots of love and attention! We have a big backyard so potty breaks will happen often. The weekends almost always work unless I’m out of town. I have a fenced yard. Currently no other pets in the home, but furniture is dog friendly. I’ve raised dogs for 14 years of my life and regularly pet sit for friends and coworkers. From the miniature breeds to the breeds that weigh hundreds of pounds, I’m comfortable with them all.
“Once again, Amy took such good care of our elderly cat, administering medications and providing ample pets and cuddles. She left our home clean and tidy. We came home to a happy, healthy cat.”
“Katie was amazing with my dog, Viz. She handled his reactivity so well and I felt completely confident leaving him in her care while I was out of the country. When my house unexpectedly had a leak, she went above and beyond to help clean up, coordinate repairs, and make sure everything was handled, which was such a relief. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I'd absolutely book with her again!”
“Sarah is a great dog/cat sitter. My two Frenchies are always so calm and content when we come home from our trips. She sends us updates and pictures everyday. I recommend Sarah for all pet care needs.”
“We booked Jainah for 5 days to watch our two kittens while we were out of town and we have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with her! From the beginning, Jainah was very responsive and we appreciated having the opportunity to do a meet and greet prior to booking. While we were away, we received regular updates along with videos and photos - it definitely put our minds at ease and we really appreciated the regular communication. The apartment was in spotless condition upon our return and the boys seemed happy and content. We will definitely look to book with Jainah again!”
“Donna did a good job taking care of Tashi under fairly difficult circumstances, including a snowstorm and a dog who was reluctant to cooperate at first. She sent pictures every day and kept us updated on how he was doing. Will use Donna again in the future.”
About: I’m an animal lover that has had pets all my life! I’m a calm and patient person who can handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I also can’t resist petting a cat. I understand that they are family and will treat them as such! I’m currently working part time so I will have time to take care of your pet and make sure they have all the attention they need. I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park. I have space to crate a dog inside if needed, or they can remain in or outside. I have two cats at home but when other pets enter the house they will be on the second floor only.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hyde Park
Lindsay was amazing! Long story short, she took care of our 3 small but high maintenance pets while the family took a long overdue and much needed vacation. She was kind and gentle with our pets. Even the cat — who doesn’t like anyone —and I mean NO-ONE— he warmed up to her. We came back and things were organized and clean— a real break. She is an excellent communicator, sent pictures and videos daily & asked questions when needed. We truly appreciate the service and please tell her the pets miss her .. esp. Jinx!
Marilyn is an amazing dog sitter, truly one of the best we’ve worked with. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, keeping us updated with messages, photos, and little notes that helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. She took such thoughtful care of our dog, Caly, making sure her routine stayed consistent, her energy was well-managed, and her quirks were understood and respected. It was clear that Caly felt comfortable, safe, and well‑loved the entire time. We’re so grateful for Marilyn’s reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with her again.
Katie was amazing with our dog, Luna. She clearly knows dogs well and loved our girl during our absence. She also took amazing care of our home and plants without us ever even asking. She communicated well and followed all of our instructions for Luna! Would absolutely book with Katie again!
Elizabeth was wonderful with our 10 month old puppy, Max! She made sure Max had plenty of time to get his energy out, took him for multiple walks and had him outside playing with her own dog! Elizabeth gave Max a great experience with socialization and play, which we really appreciated. :) Elizabeth followed care instructions perfectly, was in communication consistently and always shared pictures and videos! She is so kind and was very respectful of our home. I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is in need of a trusted pet sitter, we would look forward to an opportunity to work with her again in the future!
Jess was amazing! She was available last-minute and super flexible with timing in terms of arrival and departure. I felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our dog Rayne while we were away. We had an unexpected plumbing issue while we were away which Jess handled calmly and patiently on our behalf. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Al is amazing! She house sat for us for 4 nights/5 days, and she took wonderful care of our home and our 3.5-month-old beagle puppy. We set up a meet-and-greet with Al a few weeks before her stay, and we knew we would be in good hands from the moment we met her. Our puppy instantly gravitated towards her, too, and enjoyed playing with her and snuggling with her. Al was communicative throughout her entire stay at our house, sharing text and photo updates with us each day. She’s fun, caring and responsible, and we’re so grateful we found her. We highly recommend her!
Eleanor diligently cared for my cat while I was away for a few days, so that when I returned, my cat was happy to see me without being starved of the love she had needed! I appreciated the photos Eleanor sent, and the care and love Eleanor provided. Eleanor even cleaned up a hairball at one point! My cat's current comfort upon my return shows Eleanor helped my cat feel secure, cared for, and safe.
I was so glad that Madison was available to watch our dog Molly for our past trip. It was the longest we've ever left her with a sitter which made me nervous but knowing Madison was going to be there with her eased all my worries. She kept us updated on Molly's everyday routine and any issues that arose. We feel so lucky to have her as a regular sitter! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Hyde Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hyde Park on Rover is $61.05 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 6,680 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hyde Park. 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 Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hyde Park. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
