“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”
“Donna is a fantastic pet and home sitter. Communicates very well, house was immaculate, very responsible person! Most importantly, I noticed our dog was very relaxed when we arrived home too. Maybe even a little disappointed we were home. 😊 Thank you Donna!”
“Joy did a fabulous job taking care of our pets and our home. She communicated daily and sent photos. Our cats and dog were very happy and looked great when we returned home. Joy also took immaculate care of our home, which we truly appreciated. We will definitely ask Joy to come again in the future.”
About: I studied in the Veterinary Assisting program at Nashoba Valley Technical High School for 4 years, and graduated in 2025. During that time, I passed the TVMA Veterinary Assistant Certification (CVA) test. During this time, I became proficient in all of the skills a Veterinary Assistant would be expected to perform, and knowledgeable on relevant topics. I was also the recipient of the Certificate of Merit Achievement for Nashoba Tech’s Veterinary Assisting program. I had an amazing dog of my own who I loved and took care of for 10 years. I have also owned a guinea pig and taken care of numerous family cats throughout my life. I have been taking care of other people’s animals since I was 10 years old, watching the pets of family and friends. I am familiar with the care of all sorts of animals, not just limited to typical household pets. I have a lot of experience with animals with unique needs. My skills include fear free restraint and general handling, wound treatment, administration of medication, providing proper enrichment, and use of CPR. Here are some of the relevant certifications I have received: RESCUE- Veterinary Infection Preventionist Certification (September 2022) OSHA 10-hour Veterinary Certification (June 2022) Fear Free Certification (February 2023) Some of my other achievements: Recipient of the 2023 Massachusetts Student Achievement Award Member of the National Honors Society and National Technical Honors Society Selected attendee of 2023 MIAA Student Leadership Conference If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am working part time as a doordasher, babysitter, and house cleaner, and my schedule is very adaptable. I prefer to schedule things at least two weeks in advance to keep a neat schedule. The farther out you book with me the more likely I am to be available, but I will still try my best to fit things in if they’re last minute. I take special care to ensure the animals I care for feel comfortable around me and are comfortable in their own homes. I always make sure to clean up after the animals and myself.
About: I am a passionate and responsible dog sitter/walker dedicated to providing top-notch care for your furry friends. With a profound love for animals and a commitment to their well-being, I strive to make your absence stress-free for both you and your beloved pets. I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful pup, a senior dog needing extra attention, or a shy canine friend, I adapt my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home Monday through Friday and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for pet care essentially all day. My weekends are a bit busier but I almost always stay local in the San Diego area. I will take special care of your pet while respecting your home and requirements for pet care. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible!
“I am so grateful to have found Christina to take care of my girl, Honey. As she’s gotten older, Honey hasn’t been able to handle the stress of boarding anymore, she was always coming home sick and stressed out. Christina stayed in my home with Honey, allowing her to stay on her normal feeding, walking, and medication schedule the entire time I was away. Christina shared updates, videos and photos every day so I knew Honey was okay and having fun. Having that peace of mind allowed me to truly relax on my vacation for the first time in years! And I came home to my house cleaner than I left it, with a safe, happy, healthy doggo! Christina is the best, she followed my care instructions to the letter and I really believe she treated Honey like her own dog. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be trusting her with Honey again the future!”
“Nikki was outstanding with our dogs! She definitely had her hands full with our 4 month old puppy! Our senior dog loved her to pieces and didn’t exhibit his usual separation anxiety when away from me. She sent many photos and updates throughout our vacation. We loved that. She is a genuine dog lover, compassionate, and kind! We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again!”
About: I've been around dogs all my life, I've had three wonderful family dogs growing up with distinct personalities and needs. I have experience with dogs with special needs such as mobility issues, temperment/reactivity issues, and medication regimes. I dogsat my teacher's epileptic poodle when she couldn't be boarded due to her medication needs, helped my neighbor's basset get around during the last years of his life, walked and played with my other neighbor's golden to get his energy out, gave a much-needed bath to a frail elderly minature when his owner passed away, and nursed a sickly puppy back to health while he was being quarantined in my room away from other pets. I believe dogs are unique like people and they all have different boundaries, comfort levels, personalities, and needs, and the secret to the best pet care is getting to know every individual like they are your own loved one. I work part time three days a week (9am-3pm, tues/weds/sat), so I will be gone for my shift for that six hours if I'm dogsitting on those days! Otherwise, I'm available for services all other times except a couple hours every Sunday for my weekly DnD session :-) I'm very flexible and I'm sure we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us, and your pets! I cannot host pets in my own home due to my own pets, but I'm totally willing to come hang out with your pet at your home! I'll take your lead: Want me to hang out there for hours and keep your pet company? Works for me! Want me to only check in every so often, and only enter parts of the home that I absolutely have to? Also fine! Whatever works for you, I can work around it.
“Brittany is simply AMAZING! Just before our trip our big boy was diagnosed with a CCL injury so we had to adjust his care. With one highly energetic dog and the other with a lane leg, that can be challenging. The boys were in great hands with her and she kept me updated on any issues he was having. Additionally she took great care for our home. I can’t speak highly enough about how great she is!”
“Julia went above and beyond taking care of our animals. She was responsive and sent regular updates. We came home to happy pets who were clearly well taken care of. We really could not have found a better house sitter and I would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
“Kerri is a straightforward communicator and very approachable, always willing to go the extra mile. Her professionalism inspired trust and peace of mind, so I asked Kerri if she would take care of Milo for almost another month, and she did. I was happy and relaxed because I knew Kerri was taking care of my house and Milo. Kerri is awesome!!!!”
About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area
“Alyssa did a fabulous job with our senior lab mix. She was communicative and took wonderful care of him and our home while we were away. She administered medicine and gave him the space he needed to warm up to her. Would absolutely hire her again.”
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
“Zannah took wonderful care of our dog for four days. She updated us daily with videos and photos and took our dog on lots of walks. We didn't worry about our dog during our vacation because we knew he was getting great care!”
“Clara was amazing with our two dogs. She took great care of them and sent lots of cute pictures during the stay. One can be very anxious in kennels so we were thrilled to have Clara in our house, and both dogs loved her. She even watered our plants - she takes great care with the location and the pets. I would highly recommend her and we would happily welcome her back!”
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“We met April when last minute searching for an in home sitter. She immediately bonded with charly and provided such great care. She sent pics and videos and frequent updates. I will definitely book April again. Prompt, trustworthy, loves animals, wonderful pet caregiver!”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”

Savannah was great! Our initial sitter canceled last minute and Savannah was able to help us out. With relatively short notice she did a meet and greet with us over facetime and was a huge help in a pinch. We would certainly use her again and Cosmo enjoyed her company.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Littleton on Rover is $55.5 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 6,286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Littleton. 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 Littleton 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 Littleton 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 Littleton 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.

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.
