My little guys are also very picky about who they trust and warmed up to Theo instantly! We received several videos, photos and updates. We even had a hiccup in our travel plans and Theo was more than accommodating. We will definitely use him again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.
“Jordin took great care of our animals. We have 2 dogs and 2 bunnies that were in her care. She made sure to check in with us to let us know how things were going and sent pictures.”
About: I’ve had my dog for 6 years since she was a puppy. She is house trained and is trained to be out without a leash. She is great with children and other dogs. I’m currently a college student so I have 1-2 classes a day with breaks in between. My classes are only 1-2.5 hours and don’t consume too much of my time. I have a huge fenced in your with more than enough space for a big dog to run around and play and release any stored up energy they might have. I also live in a nice quiet neighborhood that is perfect to go on walks.
“5 stars! Theresa came over for a meet & greet on very short notice and asked all the right questions. She checked in frequently and sent lots of photos of my pup. When I came home after a weekend away my girl was relaxed and I could tell she was well cared for.”
About: My lifelong love of animals has been shaped by caring for a wide range of species and by growing up in different parts of the world. This exposure fostered a deep curiosity for animal behavior, individual personalities, and the subtle ways animals communicate their needs and love. I bring this observant, thoughtful approach to every pet and home I care for. I am home most of the time—4 out of 7 days I stay home all day, and on the other days I leave briefly but return often enough to walk, feed, and give attention to your pets. I love keeping a consistent routine so pets feel safe and happy. I prioritize your pets’ safety and comfort at all times. Dogs are always on leash when outside, and I use crates as needed when they are outdoors or resting. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks while keeping them safe and under supervision. My main priorities are adaptability and flexibility to the pet and the parent's routine, and wants.
“Amy was amazing with my dog Duke. Took great care of him and I had no worries while I was away. Sent plenty of updates, will definitely book again for my future needs”
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
“We hired Sarah to come and stay with our girl Sunny while we were on vacation. I had Sarah come to walk her once a week, leading up to her stay so that they could get to know each other. Poor Sarah lol! One obstacle after another and she handled it like a trooper. She even went above and beyond and picked up medication from our vet and started Sunny on it. She sent me pictures all the time and she was great at communicating on how Sunny was doing. I really didn’t worry about Sunny being in her care. Sunny really liked Sarah! We got home and the house was in great shape. She had gotten all the mail and everything was waiting on the table. Having a great sitter come to your home is the way to go. Thanks so much Sarah❤️”
About: I’ve pet sit for family and friends over the past four years, with experience ranging from house cats to dogs of all sizes. I love taking dogs on walking trails and tiring them out. I’m responsive to owner’s needs, flexible, communicative, and always prioritize safety. I am currently available to sit for any schedule - days, nights, and weekends. I am happy to travel and open to working last minute needs. Typically, I look to take dogs for longer walks in your neighborhood so they can get their exercise! If your neighborhood is not walkable, I’d ask to drive them to a local hike or walking trail. I’m an avid runner - if your pup likes to run, I’d love to bring them with me.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lowell is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lowell
Sean has watched our young pup a few times now including an overnight stay and he’s absolutely incredible, we could not recommend him enough! Our dog is a bit standoff-ish with new people, and Sean was so patient and understanding with him to make him as comfortable as possible as he got to know Sean (and now they’re cuddle buds). On top of being so good to our dog, Sean couldn’t be nicer. We will absolutely continue to have Sean watch our dog for all our future needs.
Emily stayed in my home for 3 weeks taking the absolute best care of my 2 precious kitties. I received regular updates and pictures and they were so happy and well adjusted when I got home. Emily was exceptionally kind, responsive, and truly seemed to love my babies. I would 100% work with her again and definitely highly recommend!
Michelle was great taking care of our dog, Finn! She is a natural with dogs and communicated daily with us. This was our first time leaving Finn with a non-family member overnight and she eased our worries! I would definitely have Michelle watch Finn again!
We loved working with Alana! She was very communicative throughout the sitting and sent plenty of pictures of our dog. Our dog Louie warmed up to Alana right away which speaks volumes about her presence. We look forward to working with Alana again in the future!
Kristina did a fabulous job helping us out in a pinch with our dog, cat, and surprise guest (cat #2). We got in contact with Kristina on short notice and she was amazingly accommodating. She confirmed and patiently waited for my arrival on a FaceTime meet and greet call. I would not have known she was new to the service as she asked great questions and came off as seasoned and skilled. She made us feel like we could trust her from the drop and day of kept us posted with updates and photos. Our dog took to her quickly and she is someone who we would highly recommend as well as use again!

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 Lowell 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 Lowell 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 Lowell 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
