“Kerri was absolutely wonderful and truly loves dogs. From the daily walks to the constant photo updates, it was so clear how comfortable and happy our pups were with her — lots of cuddles and snuggles in the pictures. Our house was left in perfect condition, exactly how we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring hands and will definitely use her for all future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Jasmine dogsat for us while we were away for 10 days, and she was fantastic with our pup. We got plenty of cute pictures and videos and could tell our dog was having a great time and receiving excellent care. Jasmine was also very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. We'll definitely hire Jasmine again next time we need a sitter!”
“TJ has been excellent with the dogs and was able to pick up a couple of extra shifts. He is very professional and polite and always with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is also very timely and respectful of my home.”
“Natalie has stayed at my house and cared for my 50lbs retriever pit mix twice now and she is fantastic. Responsive, responsible, affectionate and loving with my dog! I will continue to hire her and recommend highly!”
“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”
About: My mission is to give pets the exercise, care and love they need for both physical and mental health so they can live longer, healthier and happier lives. I succeed at this because I am a compassionate, energetic, and enthusiastic person. I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy as indicated in my references and experiences. In addition to these traits, you can expect the following from me; Punctuality - to ensure consistency for you and your pet. Stamina - I practice the postman's motto :) "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers (me) from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."(your pet's needs) Organization-free consultations to meet your pet before agreeing to paid services to understand Flexibility-you can always count on me when you are in a pinch. Great Customer Service- I will provide daily follow up feedback on your pet with pictures and text throughout the visit. Highest Rating on "Yelp” - Customer feedback and quality customer service is essential to a pet’s continued care. While your pet may not be able to communicate verbally, it is my expectation that through your pet's behavior with me you will interpret that to be the highest rating of satisfaction possible; I strive for nothing less day in and day out. I am available to travel to your home on daily, weekly or overnight visits/stays. I am also available to take your pet on appointments to the veterinary or groomers. I am happy to care for your pet in your home, as this is the most comfortable environment for them. However, should your have a dog who enjoys visits to the local dog park, I am comfortable with keeping your dog safe and happy in that setting as well.
“Ailish is a wonderful sitter!! She took excellent care of our two dogs and home. She is super nice, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I very highly recommend her and will have her sit for us again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Ryan! My wife and I live in Wakefield with our 3-year-old dachshund, Chip, who loves meeting new dogs. We both work from home and are always around. We’re comfortable with dogs of all types; every size, age, energy level, etc. We both have had dogs since the day we were born. My first dog was a black lab that was a year older than me. When I was 8 we got a golden retriever and I was responsible for feeding and walking every day. He even slept in my bedroom every night. Over the years I had 2 more goldens and a shitzu. My wife grew up with a jack russell, several dachshunds, a PBGV and a Chihuahua. I’m very active, so high-energy dogs get plenty of walks, yard play, and hikes on the nearby trails. My wife has a soft spot for senior dogs and gives older pups the slower pace and extra care they need. I run my own local business and my wife works from home, so someone is almost always around. Your dog won’t spend the day alone. You’ll get photos and updates throughout every stay. Fenced yard, walkable neighborhood, and hiking nearby. Guest dogs are part of the family here. They’re free to roam the house, hang out with us on the couch, and sleep wherever they’re comfortable. No crates or kennels unless your dog prefers one. Chip is friendly and social and makes a great playmate.
“Branka did a great job! Communicated actively and left our doggo and home in great shape. We came home to a relaxed pup! Helped us out when another sitter had to cancel last minute and was I think an even better fit for our normally nervous dog.”
“Sydney was a great overnight sitter. Very flexible in terms of doing a meet and great, and very communicative about letting me know how things were going. She also treated the space very well, and cleaned/organized prior to her departure/my return. Would definitely work with Sydney again for future needs!”
About: I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to provide extra care for puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and those who need a little more patience and attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home! I work full-time during the week, so I am available to provide pet care on weekends. I love using my weekends to spend quality time with pets and give them the attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to accommodate walks, playtime, drop-ins, or sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Emma was a great dog sitter. She was both communicative and diligent in sending updates. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Emma was also very flexible and understanding about logistical challenges that came up with travel and willing to accommodate where she could. I would definitely rebook Emma again for our next trip.”
“Fahad was WONDERFUL with my two standard poodles — and they clearly loved him right back. He took excellent care of both house and dogs and sent frequent videos/photos to this (somewhat anxious!) poodle mom. I highly recommend him! - Lisa”
“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 been dog-sitting since early high school, and am overall a dog lover! I am experienced with younger dogs as well as older dogs, I've previously needed to administer medications as needed and feel very comfortable/confident to do so! I follow the owner’s instructions as needed to ensure the pet's safety and comfort, as well as prioritizing the owner's trust! I recently graduated from college and am interested in making extra money, I currently have any availability needed as well as a vehicle to transport myself and the furry friends as needed. Can start ASAP! In the past I have dealt with pets that are very low energy or very high energy, regardless of that the overall safety of the pet is the highest priority! I prefer to walk pets on leashes at all times, and will only bring pets to large dog parks if previously allowed by the owner. When needing to administer medication, if a strict schedule is needed I will revolve my schedule around it to prioritize the pet getting their medications at the correct time and correct dose!
“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!”
About: I family used to have dogs when I was young. I don’t have mine cuz I can’t afford it. The time I spent with my dog is my most precious memory. I can walk with dog besides Friday Saturday and Sunday afternoon and night. I have a part time job. We can discuss the details about schedule. I can walk with dog in park or hiking if u don’t mind. i can take in your house too. I can drive haha ha
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with two cats. I also was a therapy dog trainer from 2010 to 2014 working with special needs children and black labs. I connect with dogs and cats extremely easily. They are always drawn to me for love and play. I can sense when they are anxious, hungry or bored. Overall, happy to help anyone out with a dog or cat while they are away. My work schedule is extremely flexible, however, my weekends are a bit busier. I can work potentially whenever a client might need me to do so, please just reach out! I am happy to have your animal at my home. I have three cats and no dogs. We have a yard but not a complete fence.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lynnfield
Sophia was a wonderful sitter! She took care of our two goldendoodles while we were away for 4 days. They quickly felt very comfortable with her, even our really anxious dog. She also sent us plenty of updates and photos, so we were never left wondering how things were going back at home. Highly recommend!
I left my dog Fiona in Sophie’s care for three full days, but I came home to a happy and calm dog. This is because Sophie provided care, attention, and fun. She spent time with Fiona and took her on long walks - Fiona’s favorite. I highly recommend Sophie and plan to use her again to care for Fiona.
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lynnfield is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lynnfield. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
