“Juliette was fantastic! She stayed at our home with our dog for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and it was clear that Juliette took wonderful care of him. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a great overall experience. We would absolutely book with Juliette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Kush! I know that leaving your pet with someone new requires immense trust. For 16 years, I was the proud pet parent to my own beloved dog, navigating everything from playful puppyhood to the deeply sensitive needs of their senior years. This lifelong journey gave me a masterclass in canine care, but more importantly, it taught me how to love a pet like a member of the family. I am incredibly compassionate, deeply caring, and completely selfless when it comes to animals. To be honest, I will gladly put a dog’s comfort and needs before my own—or any other human being's, for that matter! I focus heavily on bringing warm, positive vibes into every interaction to create a completely stress-free, happy, and safe atmosphere for your pup. When your dog is with me, they aren't just being "watched"—I build a genuine bond and treat them exactly like my own child. Because of my extensive 16-year personal history, I am highly experienced in: 💊 Medical Administration: I am completely comfortable and precise with administering daily oral medications, supplements, or managing specific chronic medical routines. 🍳 Custom & Specialized Diets: If your pup requires home-cooked meals, I am well-versed in exact food prep—including boiling fresh chicken, cutting up sweet potatoes, and following strict allergen-free recipes. 🐕 Behavioral Awareness & Connection: While I am not a commercially certified trainer, my years of hands-on experience have made me a keen observer of canine body language. I intuitively know when a dog needs a potty break, a calming presence, or simply an extra round of affection. Whether we are out on a structured neighborhood walk, practicing gentle manners, or enjoying a fresh, warm meal, your dog will receive the exact same fierce dedication, safety, and love that I gave my own companion for nearly two decades. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into my heart! :) I am fully available for weekend house sitting, and I also welcome weekday overnights depending on my current schedule, provided clients can give me at least a 2-day notice to ensure proper planning. A Relationship Built on Trust & Kindness I treat my clients like close friends and family members because I believe in building deep, lasting relationships. Guided by core values of honesty, loyalty, and kindness, I care for your pups with the same gentle devotion that I would give my own child. Your pet gets to stay completely comfortable in their familiar environment, surrounded by dedicated love and attention. Honesty, Rules, and Respect for Your Home I am as honest as they come, and I believe firmly in respecting and abiding by your household rules. I will treat your home with the exact same care and respect as if it were my own. Whatever boundaries, routines, or specific instructions you have, I will strictly follow them to ensure your home remains safe, secure, and exactly how you left it. Rx & Custom Diet Safety Safety is my highest priority, especially for pups with complex needs. I am fully experienced in managing custom diets and administering Rx medications accurately and on time. Because a great partnership relies on absolute transparency, I will keep you connected with honest, frequent updates and photos so you never have to worry.
“Jainah was wonderful with my needy pup Xie Xie and took great care to make sure he ate. She hand fed him with out my asking! I was updated on walks and her care and couldn’t be more grateful!”
“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 :)”
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 studying full time, 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.
“Meeting Emily was a relief after our other pet sitter fell through in the days leading up to our trip. Emily was willing to do a last minute meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions about caring for our dogs and cats. She was communicative and our pets seemed to enjoy her presence. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Mokeisha was an excellent sitter. She was incredibly responsive, and I felt completely confident that my dogs were in great hands while I was away. She checked in throughout the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. With freezing temperatures outside, she was especially attentive to making sure the dogs were safe and comfortable during outdoor time. They were clearly spoiled with attention, cuddles, and treats while in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mokeisha again and absolutely plan to do so.”
“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!”
“Thanks for being so good to Mocha while I was away! The pictures and updates were so appreciated and I could tell mocha was really happy and well cared for the entire week, thank you!!”
About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.
“Paige was amazing with our little puppy, Scoops! She sent frequent updates and took great care of Scoops. She also left the house very clean after an overnight stay.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and love to learn more about them and their owners. Always have been open to taking care of many animals and expanding my work. Have time plenty of time on weekdays and some weekends. Im open and inviting to any and every breed of cat or dog as well as other furry friends. I am able to travel for services and am willing to work around my customers! I am very diligent and pay close attention to small details especially when caring after someone else’s fur babies. As someone who has cared for animals in the past I understand the trust and respect you need to have for someone else’s home their rules and boundaries, same goes for animals. I am always open and willing to listen to concerns you may have and worries while you are away.
“This was our second time booking with Bridget and she took such great care of our dog Eldrick! She went above and beyond to give him plenty of play time and exercise, and kept us updated with many photos. Thanks again Bridget!”

“Amanda was very punctual and caring of Mako, and we could tell she had his best interest in mind! Her daily updates were a huge peace of mind and we look forward to working with her again.”
“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Hannah was amazing! She showed so much care for my senior pup, who’s a very anxious puppers! Hannah sent pictures everyday and was responsive to messages quicker than expected. I will be booking Hannah again!”
“Ali did an excellent job house-sitting and caring for our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation. Our pup is reactive and we have fairly specific protocols for dealing with that, and Ali was able to handle those well. We got lots of cute videos and updates during the week. It seemed like our dog was very comfortable and happy around Ali. Overall doggo seems like herself and our apartment was well cared for. We’re grateful to Ali and would book again!”

Eleanor did a wonderful job caring for my kittens, one who had just joined our family the night before I went away! She did a great job managing two kitties who are siblings but hadn't been together for five weeks.Thanks to Eleanor they are getting along better now than that first night and they are slowly becoming friends. She sent pictures, texts and updates on how things were going over the weekend.I would recommend Eleanor and have her take care of my kitties again!
We had a great experience with Jainah ! She kept me updated on everything, left our home very clean and tidy, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Chase was in good hands. I really appreciated how responsible and trustworthy she was. We would definitely book her again!
Allie was wonderful! I have a senior pup with medical needs and Allie was very thorough marking sure Isley kept his routine and all his meds were administered on time. She kept in touch frequently and sent lots of pics which I love :) will definitely rebook with her again!
Marangela was wonderful with Bo and Bella! She was communicative, reliable, and took such great care of them. We were able to fully enjoy our day trip without worrying at all, knowing they were in such good hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for so well while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Marangela and would love to book her again!
So so great - Chris did such a fantastic job taking care of our dogs!! We have two very high energy pups, and Chris was so wonderful with them. He sent us regular updates, and had great communication both arriving to and leaving our home. Can’t recommend him enough!
Sarah took care of my girls for the second time today, and once again she did an amazing job! I was away all day, so having someone I trust to walk them, feed them, and make sure they were well taken care of was such a blessing. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and had already eaten and enjoyed their walks. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while I’m away. Sarah is very caring, reliable, and attentive. I’m truly grateful for the way she takes care of my girls, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hyde Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hyde Park is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $107 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,586 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 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 Hyde Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
