“Olivia took great care of our babies while we were gone for the day. Our one dog, Brutus, is a little anxious around people but he warmed up to Olivia with no problem. Thank you so much!”
“Calvin was an absolute lifesaver watching our dog Mila while we went out of town for a few days. He was detail oriented, friendly and warm, and took such great care of Mila. We got tons of photos and updates while we were gone and we knew she was in good hands!”
“Carmen was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a tee! As our dog has heart failure and needs special care, we are always hesitant to leave him behind but we felt safe leaving him with Carmen. She was respectful of our home and was very kind. We would definitely book her for future sittings.”
“Dominique did an amazing job watching my two senior beagles for a week! She stayed at our home and left the place sparkling and our doggies happy! Dominique was responsible and responsive, caring and very sweet to my dogs — we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the girls again, and highly recommend her!”
“Shakira was an excellent sitter for our lil man! She was on time and communicated in a timely, responsible fashion. She shared many photos of her stay with Linus, which was much appreciated. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Ginny. I had to travel for a work trip and Stephanie agreed to watch Ginny on a short notice. What stood out was that Stephanie made efforts for meet and greet so we both could feel comfortable with the arrangements. I received regular updates and Ginny was well taken care of. Thank you so much.”
“My dog Raven was very relaxed when I got home. Dru took very good care of her, was great with communication, and sent lots of pictures. I knew she got brushed and cuddled because Raven’s coat was super shiny! I will certainly recommend Dru to my friends and neighbors when they are looking for a trustworthy dogsitter.”
“Grace was a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs and cat! She was attentive from the first meet and greet, and sent adorable pictures! She took excellent care of them and we came home to happy pets and a clean house.”
“Dan has housesit for me several times over the past year. He is reliable and an excellent communicator. He always lets me know how my pets are doing and sends me cute picture updates. I’m glad to have found Dan.”
“Jovelle was a wonderful cat sitter! She house sat and took care of my very social, playful cat while I was away. Jovelle is an outstanding communicator, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She sent me photos and a detailed update multiple times per day, which included mealtime details and updates on play time. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty! I recommend Jovelle for pet sitting!”
“Did an amazing job! Updated us daily with pictures and comments of our pets while we were away. Trustworthy and responded promptly to all questions. Have already re booked!”
“Tina was so sweet and caring with Tolly. We felt very comfortable with her and appreciated how loving she was towards Tolly. We would absolutely book her again.”
“Darina was great! She stayed in my home with my dog while I traveled over the holidays. She sent updates twice a day (morning and evening) with pictures and good descriptions of how everything was going. My dog seemed happy in the photos and also when I got home—he even went looking for her the next morning, haha! Darina was diligent about following our typical walking times, and her schedule was perfect to spend lots of time with him too outside of that. She was also tidy and respectful of the space, and she was very thoughtful in cleaning up after her stay.”
About: Hi! I have experience dog, cat, and house sitting! I’m timely and pride myself on attention to detail. Lots of experience with both elderly pets and puppies. I am a high school science teacher, so my summers are very flexible. During the school year, I am available most days after 3:30 pm or if you are close enough, on my lunch break. I am able to board medium and small pets in my home comfortably. In your home, I am always respectful of your privacy and cleanliness. I’m happy to care for plants or house chores as needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
“Maddie was great for our dog and two cats! It was super last minute over the holidays and she was so flexible and so nice. She even changed the sheets on the guest bed before the next sitter arrived. Sent lots of pics and updates, I know our pets were in great hands!”
“Quanence and Malik were amazing! From the very start at the meet & greet they were both very detailed, asked all the right questions, and took lots of notes. They took great care of our pets Cali & Spanky. They kept us informed the entire time and sent pics. Communication was excellent. We could not have been happier. It’s a beautiful feeling to truly be able to be present at our event, knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Today, was our first time using their service. Promise, it will not be the last. Do NOT hesitate to book their services!!! So happy our paths have crossed Quanence and Malik - thank you for everything!!! ☺️”
“Ariana was extremely attentive to my dogs needs and made him feel very comfortable. She sends lots of updates and keeps me in the loop. He’s always so excited to see her and I feel good leaving him in her hands.”

TeAisha is amazing. I always get nervous leaving my guys with someone new, but she was able to come and do a meet & greet beforehand so I felt super confident leaving them with her. She checked in regularly, followed their routine and was super patient with some quirky anxieties that my guys have. Absolutely recommend and would book again. Thank you TeAisha!!
We were so happy to have found Ellie to take care of our cats! From the very beginning, she was very caring, patient, and detail oriented, and gave one of our cats daily eye drops with ease. She sent a lot of great pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Thanks to Ellie, we were able to relax and have a nice vacation, knowing our cats were in good hands with her! Thank you so much, Ellie!
Rachel did an amazing job with our three pups, especially considering how last minute our request was. She was super flexible and attentive towards our pups potential needs if anything went awry with our travels. Our house looked great when we returned and our pups were happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking her again next time we need a sitter.
I recently had Rebecca watch our two quirky pups for 10 days (in our home) while we were overseas. We were admittedly nervous about leaving the pups for so long with a new sitter, but Rebecca quickly put us at ease. She quickly bonded with our pups (one of whom has a lot of anxiety and leash aggression). She kept both dogs well cared for and very entertained. Rebecca also provided very frequent updates, pictures and videos which we loved and helped us to feel connected even when we were far away. Additionally, she went above and beyond to take great care of our house. It was such a relief to come home to a well care d for house in addition to happy and well cared for pups. We can’t recommend Rebecca enough!
Bridget was the best with my puppy! She was extremely communicative and took such great care of him. This was my first time being away from him, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Bridget completely eased my mind with her frequent updates, he had the best time with her!
Calvin took outstanding care of our dog, Toast, while we were out of town for a weekend. He is incredibly kind, communicative, and sent a ton of photos/ videos during the stay. He left our home in outstanding condition and perhaps more importantly, Toast seemed to really like Calvin. We’d highly recommend Calvin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ludlow on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,530 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ludlow. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
