“Kerri stayed with our two dogs for almost a week while we were overseas. She did a wonderful job. Our dogs were well taken care of and they both adore her. She was able to give them their morning meds which was greatly appreciated. She communicates clearly and timely, and as a result, we had a relaxing and stress-free vacation! Thank you, Kerri!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
“If I could give Tom 100 stars, I would. He truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs. From the moment we left, we received continuous updates and photos which gave me complete peace of mind. He didn't just cover the basics, he showered them with so much genuine love, care, and attention. The real proof was in our dogs' behavior they were actually sad when he left! It is so rare to find someone who connects with your babies like this. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“I am beyond happy with the quality of care Julia and Fran provided. They are so nice and accommodating, and it eased my worries knowing that my pups were in good hands while I was away. I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you so much :)”
“Liz is the best! She was available on short notice to housesit my two doggies. From the initial meet and greet I knew Liz was great. You can just tell if someone knows dogs and loves them. Throughout the trip, she was highly responsive and forward with any updates. Honestly, I’m so glad I found Liz. I will use her for all bookings going forward and I will highly recommend her to anybody. And know that I am not a bot or a pre-populated review. I am a real person who needed a dog sitter from a Memorial Day holiday weekend and Liz came through! I am grateful to her.”
“Catherine was an incredible help with our dog and our sassy cat! She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
“Sean was amazing and went above and beyond with our dog Henry. She always sent pictures with updates, which we loved. We felt so comfortable with her! Can’t wait to have her watch Henry again!”
“Sydney took good care of our pups while we were gone! She was available to help us on short notice when another Rover canceled on us at the last minute. We will definitely consider her again on our next trip!”
“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.”
About: I love animals and i’m going to college to become a vet. I want to start working with animals now so I have some more experience I am available Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday right now for walks, sitting, playtime, anything anyone needs for their pups. I love animals and can’t wait to me your pups. I used to have a dog and I took her on walks all the time and made sure she was very well taken care of
“Jasmine is fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Beau. She watched him at my home, was very attentive to his needs and took great care of my home as well. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the stay and very responsive. I would highly recommend Jasmine!”
“Grace was wonderful! She watched my dog over the 4th of July. Not only was it a holiday and not only did she have to deal with my dog who is terrified of fireworks and thunder and refused to leave our closet, but she had to deal with a broken A/C for 16 hours and was patient as we negotiated HVAC repair from afar. We came home to a happy dog, clean sheets/towels, a clean kitchen, and even cookies. I can't express my gratitude enough. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”
About: I have experience with puppies and mature dogs; specifically, but not limited to breeds such as pit bulls, shitzus, and dachshunds. I am gentle, kind, caring, and patient; attentive to the needs of animals and the routines set by their owners. I am currently unemployed so I am available at all times. I work freelance as an artist from my home studio, so I can be as flexible and responsive to pre-existing routines. I live alone with no pets in a pet friendly apartment complex near a public park, a dog park, and near Logan Airport. I understand that routine and crating is crucial for maintaining an animal's safety and comfort, so I have no issue complying with such requests.
“This was the first time I left Milo with a sitter, and it worked out beautifully. Andrew was great with the dog, communicated clearly and regularly with me before and while I was away, and left the house spotless. I'll definitely try to book him for future trips.”
About: Care of pets for friends and family, in addition to my own. Trained Veterinary Technician Experience with dogs, cats, and small rodents. Passionate about pets! After 4 pm, evenings, and weekends at your home or mine. Reliable SUV transportation to travel to and from home. Walks or pet sitting available. Pet sitting short term or overnights as needed. Fully fenced in yard in my home. Friendly walk neighborhood in my home or yours. Safety for your pets.
About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease while they're away. I've helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is working on potty training, crate training, or following a specific routine, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. For privacy and safety reasons, I don’t offer home tours.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lynnfield is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lynnfield
My dog is reactive but Daniela not only handled him but my brothers dog for 4 days as well. My dog warmed to her immediately. Daniela asked thoughtful questions about my pup's care when we first met that let me know my pup was in good hands. She took good care of my pup and provided a lot of updates and photos that helped put my mind at ease while traveling. Highly, Highly recommend!
Finding someone to care for your pets while you’re away can be hard and can bring up lots of anxieties. If you’re looking for someone reliable and kind to take great care of your pets, Owen is your guy. Owen stayed with our dog Zuko and cat Willow for 7 days. He kept us well informed, sent lots of pictures and gave them lots of love. Thank you, Owen!
Colin exceeded our expectations in pet sitting our Tibetan terrier, Buzzy. He was extremely communicative to us as we travelled abroad over Christmas, was so kind to Buzzy (a newly adopted dog) and took exceptional care of him whilst simultaneously respecting our home. I cannot recommend Colin highly enough. 100/100!!!
Tanya was terrific with our dog and cat while we were away for 5 days. She followed our guidance and ensured that both pets received special care. She sent regular updates and pictures, as requested, and we could relax while we were away, knowing our little guys were under kind and safe care. Our home was well cared for and Tanya was conscientious about collecting our mail and deliveries We will be definitely rebook Tanya when we are next out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lynnfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lynnfield on Rover is $59.4 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 6,329 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lynnfield. 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 Lynnfield 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 Lynnfield 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 Lynnfield 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.
