“Once again, Adora took excellent care of Monty. We received updates and pictures every day. The house was perfect; everything was perfect. We highly recommend Adora and will be booking her again for sure!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
“So happy to have found Hannah! We have a very large irish wolfhound mix rescue dog who is very anxious. Hannah did a meet and great before our initial booking and she was terrific with him. Was very patient and calm and just let him drive the meeting. While we were away, she was very communicative and provided lots of pictures which made us feel very comfortable that he was being well cared for. She did all that was asked and even had to handle meds for our pup. With her experience and comfort level I won’t hesitate calling on Hannah again to take care of our Charlie.”
“First time using Avery and she was wonderful! She arrived at the agreed upon time, communicated well and sent daily pictures of Ranger and Daisy. She followed instructions for feeding and engaged well with our dogs for play. When we returned our dogs were happy and had obviously been well cared for. Avery stayed at our house since our dogs do best in their own home. She left the house spotless. We will definitely book with Avery again.”
“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: Hi! I’m from Brazil and looking for pet sitting opportunities in my free time. I have two dogs back home — one is a 9-year-old pitbull with skin cancer, and the other is a rescue who also survived cancer. My love for animals runs deep. I’ve always cared for them with all my heart, and I’d be happy to do the same for your pet! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life because it combines my love for animals with my flexible schedule. Taking care of pets feels natural to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and do with heart. I’m available for dog walks and pet sitting at your home! I love spending time with animals and will take care of your pet with lots of love and attention. Let me know how I can help!
“Jennifer was great - she came to our home for 3 nights that we were going to be out of town to take care of our 10 lb. chihuahua mix. The house was left spotless and our dog seemed like she had a really great time while we were away (which isn't always the case). We'll definitely be booking again for our in-home pet sitting needs.”
About: I have been a veterinarian technician for 6+ years. I have a wide range of skills including giving oral and injectable medications. I am first aid and CPR certified. I am able to walk dogs any distance. Pick up after them in yards. I also can bath dogs and I have my own pet safe dryer. I am currently working full time, but my work place is closing in September. I am flexible with my schedule and I’ll be able to provide the best care for your pets I have a fenced in yard, and a small doggy pool. I also have pets of my own that are friendly with others. I will take dogs on walks 2-3 times a day for about 2.5 mile walks. I also have a variety of dog toys that they can play with. I have a bath tub that I can use to give baths.
“Theo took care of my four dogs, guinea pig, and chickens in my home for four days. My senior dog has health issues and he tended to him with care. All my pets were well taken care of, given plenty of attention, and happy when we returned. Theo informed me when he needed to leave for a short time and made sure the dogs were all secure in the home in their places of comfort. Theo kept me updated several times during the day and provided photos. He cleaned up after himself and my home was left as he found it. We look forward to having Theo care for our pets in the near future.”
About: I love that no two pets are quite alike, and I find so much joy in getting to know their little quirks and figuring out what makes them happiest! My experience with rescue dogs has taught me the value of patience and earning an animal’s trust. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specialized care instructions, and adapting to different routines! Over the next month, my schedule will be shifting to working at my once full-time corporate job, to working at the same company part-time, on Mondays and Tuesdays. This will leave the rest of my week open for pet care! I’ll be completing self-paced coursework around my pet-sitting commitments, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize visits, accommodate different routines, and spend quality time with the animals in my care! I believe safety starts with being attentive, prepared, and consistent. I listen carefully to owners’ instructions, make sure I understand each pet’s needs, and take extra care with things like leashes, doors, and surroundings. I pay close attention to body language and how dogs respond to unfamiliar situations, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable and avoid unnecessary stress. I also prioritize clear communication so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
“Outstanding! Our dogs got comfortable with Lily in about 5 seconds flat and never looked back. First time we’d left the dogs overnight and they took it all in their stride thanks to Lily. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”
“Could not have found better dog sitters for our Coco. They are so communicative, responsible, and loving , we are so lucky to have found them. She's always wiped out from her times with them!! Going on walks, playing, mental stimulation, etc. We were reassured the entire time, and they leave the house just as, if not better than we left it. Thank you, thank you, Dina and Jason!!!”
“Jamie took great care of our dog. She was communicative and was able to help us out last minute. Callie seemed to have a great time and felt very comfortable with Jamie. We will definitely rebook!”
“TJ did an amazing job with both of my dogs! We did a pre-meet and he did great to make sure we were comfortable with him and answer any questions we had. He was real communicative and sent pictures of them and everything they did. Usually the typical sitters won’t really send anything but TJ went above and beyond. Definitely recommend him in a heartbeat.”

I’m currently working for 5 days a week but I can reschedule my work hours. Night care, day care and I can also be available for a few hours during the day.

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lowell is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $77 per night.

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.
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 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!
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.

- 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.
