“Katie is THAT pet sitter. We really cannot say enough of how confident we are leaving Katie to care for our Rudi, Pearl and home. She is attentive, kind and truly empathetic to fur friends and to the people who love them. We highly regard her care and hope to always have her as our pet person in any future vacations. We cannot imagine a more caring, competent person to care for pets and a home!”
“Alissa is always welcome in our home and does a great job with Pixie, making sure she gets her walks in and plenty of snuggles in between. She is dependable, and we appreciate that she asks questions if needed.Pixie and her family look forward to having Alissa’s help in the future 🥰🐶”
“Molly was wonderful with our high needs elderly dog. Molly was communicative, responsive, and sent many updates and photos throughout the day. We hope to have Molly watch our dog again and highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Charlie had another great stay with Jessica. She was attentive to him, letting us know his chronic cough was increasing. She managed it well, professionally and patiently, with permission from us to give an extra dose of one of his medications. She communicated with us throughout the stay-”
“Sarah was an incredible dogsitter for my reactive, elderly beagle mix for four nights while I was away. She had a great calming presence on my dog and was so responsible and responsive and checked in with me daily!”
“Ace did a fantastic job with our busy puppy! She kept us updated and sent many pictures of our happy dog. The house was left in great condition! We would certainly use Ace again any time and recommend her 100#. Thank you, Ace for a great job. You put our minds at ease.”
“We booked Brianna last minute. She made time to come and meet with us and our pup. She took great care of Roscoe and our home. Sent lots of pictures and was good with communication. Recommended!”
“Debbie was absolutely incredible with my 2.5 year old pit mix Brooks. He took to them almost instantly at the meet and greet, and I felt 100% comfortable with them staying at my house and looking after him. Debbie kept me updated with pictures and texts and took amazing care of him. Having somebody stay in your house and look after your pet is always a little daunting, but after chatting with Debbie and her partner for 20 minutes while they got to know Brooks I had no hesitation about having Debbie stay and care for him. Debbie and her partner are really awesome people and clearly both love — and are good with — animals. Debbie will be my go-to first choice for any dog sitting I need doing in the future, without a doubt.”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my pup, who is very shy and anxious. Lauren was patient and gentle and allowed time for my pup to warm up. She sent lots of updates so I had peace of mind while I was away.”
“Julissa did a great job pet sitting our dog and two cats over the holidays. Pets seemed very happy, communication was great, and the house was very clean when we returned. Thanks Julissa!!”
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“We have only been away from our fur babies one time in all of the years that we have had them. They are both rescues and came from horrific pasts. The one time that we were away, a familiar family member stayed overnight with them. That being said, the decision to leave our fur babies (and our home) in the care of someone who was unfamiliar to them and us was a very stressful and uncomfortable feeling. After reading/reviewing numerous profiles and talking to/meeting with a few potential sitters, we were blessed to meet Georgia. We felt it was a perfect fit, on our end, shortly after she arrived at our home for the initial visit. Watching how Georgia interacted with our high energy and anxious dogs was heartwarming. Also, the fact that she was not bothered by Gunner's tearing/suckling of his blanket (which he has done since we rescued him and prior due to his anxiety) was a relief. Gunner and Zohie (as well as myself) immediately picked up Georgia's calmness and friendly nature. Georgia was extremely patient and open with me while I bombarded her with question after question and detail after detail about our dogs. At the end of our first meeting, I nervously asked Georgia if she thought she would want to take the responsibility of caring for our dogs and home while we were away. When Georgia said she was willing to take care of them, it was such a relief. Then I asked Georgia to come and spend more time with them/us again, prior to the overnight. She said, "Yes, of course!" and I felt that we had hit the jackpot! Prior to and during the stay, Georgia responded quickly to my numerous messages/questions/check ins. She sent us pics and kept us updated. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we left it and the dogs behaved as though we were not away. This made us feel as though they were comfortable and relaxed with Georgia while we were away. Georgia is truly invested in building relationships with pet owners as well as the pets. It is clear that Georgia cares about her responsibilities, loves animals, and takes this position seriously. She is a true gem and we are already talking about going away again very soon.”
“James took great care of Onyx while I was away on vacation. He kept me posted with plenty of updates, photos and videos so I could see my pup happily playing and exploring the neighborhood.”
About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”
“Saige got along great with all our animals and everyone seemed well taken care of when we got back. She also kept our house clean and we could hardly tell we had ever left.”
About: Ive had a dog for 5 years. She’s a corgi and her name is Lily. I have potty trained her and trained her on several commands. I would love and care any other dog as if they were my own. I work full time so this would be more of a part time thing whenever I’m available. I work from home so getting out and walking or watching dogs would be great. I have a fenced in yard and have one dog and two cats. I won’t be boarding for now. This would be more of taking them on walks or check in on them or house sit.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ludlow is $55

I was out of town for three days, and Skadi is still just a baby. You took such wonderful care of her, and she was so happy and comfortable when I got back. If I ever need to travel again, I will definitely ask you to watch her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Skadi. You’re amazing! I truly appreciate everything you did for her. 🫶🐶

FAQs for House Sitting - Ludlow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ludlow on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,140 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ludlow. 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 Ludlow 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 Ludlow 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 Ludlow 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.
