“Second time using Mary for house sitting. She is amazing and we will be booking again with here for another trip in the future. She communicates, follows all instructions to the letter, and leaves the house as if no one was even there. She even noticed one of our pups had an ear infection so we could get her scheduled at the vet. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.
About: Hi there! I have been pet sitting for a couple of years and have also been employed at a dog training and daycare for roughly seven months. While I was there, I learned all about dog behavior and how to handle it when things get rough. I am comfortable around animals and my ability to recognize their needs. I adopted a kitten one year ago and have loved taking care of him. I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I am now only taking care of my cat but still love dogs deeply. I work a time variable job. During the week I’m usually up and out of the house by 5:30-6am and home by 3. Sometimes that varies. I’ve been home by noon some days. That being said if your dog needs potty breaks frequently, I would not be the best option for you. It’s important to me and your pet that I keep them comfortable and safe. I love to give animals the time and attention they deserve!!
“Morgan was AWESOME! She did everything perfectly, including spending quality time with my sweet kittens! They adore her. Morgan is responsible and friendly, and a true lover of all pets! Would hire again!”
“Very professional and kind to my dogs. Good communication and very attentive to their needs. Trustworthy and responsible! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm, caring for various types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have years of experience working at animal shelters and clinics which makes me prepared for any type of situation. I’m skilled in providing loving, reliable care for all animals, big and small. I’m currently a full time college student so I will have classes throughout the day but am available in the mornings and the afternoons. Weekends are usually free unless noted otherwise. Ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is my priority. I’ll make sure your pup feels secure and happy while under my care, providing them with all the attention and safety they deserve!
About: I have experience caring for a variety of dogs through helping neighbors and family, as well as working at North Paw, a doggie daycare service. I also grew up with my own Mini Goldendoodle, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m a Master’s student at UK with a very flexible research and class schedule. I’m typically on campus about 30 hours a week, but I can adjust my research hours as needed. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, including stopping by during the middle of the day when needed. My weekends are also wide open, so I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a clean and secure space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to accommodate routines, crating, feeding schedules, medications, or other specific needs.
“Cassidy was great! We have three animals, and she tools great care of them all. Minimally, Cassidy is a cat whisperer. Our cat hates everyone outside of our nuclear family, but she somehow coaxed him into cuddle sessions. But more so she made sure the dogs were walked and loved on. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
About: With 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide reliable, attentive pet care for friends, family, and clients. I offer in-home drop-in visits and overnight stays so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, medication, and giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays (in client’s home) throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can adjust to the times that work best for you and your pets. I care for pets with the same attention, gentleness, and love I would give my own. When I’m in your home I carefully follow all house rules, keep everything secure, and stay true to your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I have experience providing senior pets with the extra patience, attention, and care they may need, including helping maintain their regular routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including oral medicine, pills, eye drops, and other medications as directed by the owner. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine carefully and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and work around their usual routines. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting and can be flexible with timing based on each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m respectful of each home and pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, medications, and anything else that helps keep pets safe. I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in loving and responsible hands, and I’ll treat every pet like my own!
“I highly recommend Casey to care for your fur babies! We traveled out of town and she went over and beyond caring for our 16 year old Sadie. Casey is super clean and very polite. Knowing Sadie was being looked after by Casey provided such a wonderful trip to see our family. I can’t wait to have Casey come back for our next trip.”
“DeAnna was very responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for watching the pups! We have a couple more sits booked with her and it’s nice to know they will be cared for while I’m gone.”
“Dave did a wonderful job taking care of Dalton. He is very attentive giving him the love & attention that a dog with separation anxiety needs. Will definitely continue to hire him.”
“Chelsea was amazing! She stayed in our home for 11 days and cared for our two kittens, and checked to ensure our snake had water. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and our fur babies. I received texts with pics and videos nearly everyday. She was very responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets from a very young age! I currently have 2 of my own. I adore animals and would love the chance to take care of yours! I go to school and work 3 days a week! However I will always be available fridays, Saturday, Sundays after 4:30, and most other days after 4:30! I can also do morning check ins before 9 typically! I will always introduce myself very calmly and extend my hand to say hello in a non threatening way! I always want your pets to be comfortable with me. I will also do anything extra the animal needs to make it feel safe and loved.
“Dina is one of the BEST!!! Overall great person and you could instantly tell that she has a genuine care for the animals that she is around and taking care of. As a pet owner herself, she gets how difficult it is to leave the fur babies and made us feel at ease leaving them in her care. Dina sent regular updates and pictures throughout the stay which we LOVED!!! She was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond! We would book Dina again in a heartbeat as long as her availability allows (I know she is popular and rightfully so)!!! She also took great care of our home while we were away and we returned to our home as clean or maybe even a little cleaner than when we left it. Dina is fantastic and we would definitely recommend her to anyone asking.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 468 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Keene. 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 Keene 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 Keene 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 Keene 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 Keene. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
