“We loved having Brianna watch our large family of creatures! We have a dog, 2 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise. She was great with all of them on our extended vacation and we will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Teaghan took excellent care of our dog. She communicates well and is very responsive. She sent pictures and kept in good contact while she was at our home. It was our first time using Rover and we are so pleased with our experience with Teaghan!”
“Caroline was a lifesaver! Came in for a last minute sit and allowed me to enjoy my trip worry-free. She was transparent and communicative from the first message, flexible and understanding when I asked to push back arrival time a bit (I wanted to finish some cleaning), and observant and attentive in her care with the cats, making sure to check in on a little skin thing Inigo had. Her vibe was soft, sweet, and reassuring, and the kitties (even my super shy girl) loved her - they came out within minutes of me leaving to play with her, and were giving her cuddles from day one. (I melted seeing the pics of them in her lap.) Would absolutely recommend and book again!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have taken care of other peoples pets for over 10 years. I love to interact with animals and provide exceptional general care ❤️🧡🏳️🌈 I am pretty flexible and available unless already booked through my other house sitting services. We can find a time that works! for a meet and greet. It would be your home, they would get to remain comfortable and free of exposure to other animals with a variety of issues from a loving and kind professional.
“Cannot say enough good things about Amalie! Great communicator, extremely responsible, very flexible, and always willing to help. She really cares about the pets she takes care of and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again when we need someone to stay at our house and watch our cat & dog. A+++”
“Jo took great care of our dogs for a week, while we were away on vacation. She provided daily updates and even washed the sheets & towels she used before we got home! We look forward to booking her again.”
About: I got my first dog in 1982. My first cat in 2021. I learned to walk, play with, feed and love my dog, Cara. Then in 1997 another came into my life and again I cared for her basic needs but next I learned to watch and listen to this one... and trained her in tricks and solid obedience. Next I started house sitting for sick old dog's who needed 24/7 attention. This was for Maureen Martin’s dog Higgins and her cat, Rio, in San Diego for 1999 - 2000. Later I found myself caring for so many people's dogs and cats, the last being in Westchester New York 2 weeks ago for Eliza, a black lab belonging to Mr and Mrs Brian S. Also at home I adopted Macy who has cancer as a kitten. She was treated and she is 3 years in remission now bc I played with her and brushed her and gently got her eating again through the chemo program. My reputation grew as a good cat babysitter and dog walker and caregiver. I am gentle, patient, firm and have strong communication with dogs and I speak the language of cats. I also am in very good athletic condition so I can offer your dog and cat a strong enough dose of energy and fun that your dog's anxiety about you not being there can subside. Your cats and dogs miss you when you leave them for work and important events. But I will fill in the gaps so they feel a warm friend is looking after them until you return home. I care for my own cat. Doing the litter daily and feeding her in the morning and evening with some in the middle of the day. She has cozy places to sleep and toys to play with to stay active. I interact with her and brush her to keep her in an overall healthy and good mental state. Playtime is a real winner with most pets. Those who are disabled or needing a different kind of care will get warmth and gentility from Me. If they need meds, I will do it in a caring way. If they need to be vigorous and enjoy companionship time in your absence, I am there to be their protector, buddy and server.
“Raven is so great with Mabel! She keeps me updated throughout their time together with photos and messages, takes the time to play together, and ensure she’s well taken care off. Thank you!”
“Alexi is a fantastic sitter! We needed someone to stay with our dog who has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone while we went out for the day. Lexi was easy to communicate with and was thorough in asking questions about all of Kaiya’s needs/likes/dislikes in order to provide the best care. She was on time and took great care of Kaiya, following all of our instructions and requests, and sending several photo and video updates throughout the day. They had a great time, we would definitely book with Alexi again!”
About: I’ve taken care and done pet sitting for years since I was 16. I also take care of my mother’s elderly dog and my 7 year old golden doodle. After being in corporate finance for the last 10 years I have decided to take a break and go back to school to pursue other passions. I have a flexible schedule and I am ready to accommodate your pets needs! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to accommodate your pet’s schedule! I can offer morning, afternoon, or night walks. I live in a wonderful condo community with plenty of walking trails and a good sized condo that they are free to roam! I can accommodate special requests to make your pet’s stay more comfortable!
“Our doggo Kailey has special needs - In particular, she takes quite a while to warm up to people and wants her own space. No touchy touchy! Because of this, it has been difficult to find care for her in the past. Enter Lynn. Lynn is wonderful. She took the time to talk with us, to understand what Kailey needs, and how we interact with her. She was warm and friendly, and instantly put us at ease. We felt 100% comfortable leaving her to watch over our doggo, with access to our home. Lynn was great at both following instruction and using her best judgement when interacting with Kailey. She provided care and companionship for our girl when we couldn't be there. We are so grateful for her help, and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for compassionate care for their pets!”
“Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!”
“Genevieve was great! She was very conscious to ensure she was a good fit for our fur babies and very attentive to when we first left to ensure our dog was not anxious or stressed. Coming home our house was spotless and our fur babies were in great spirits. It can be nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur babies and staying in your home, but Genevieve was such a blessing to take away those fears. We highly recommend and look forward to using her in the future!”
About: I treat everyone's pets the way I would want someone to treat mine, with love. I know how attached people are to their pets and I respect that. I can watch any age pet, I have experience with them all. My wife and I are working at Normandy Farms for the season and we watch pets on the side. We have a dog of our own and we know what its like to go on vacation and have no one to watch your pet. If you'll be gone for an extended time frame either on vacation or anything else we would be happy to take care of your pet! I will take care of your pets the way I take care of my spoiled Golden Doodle! Spending quality time with them and doing whatever is asked of the owner.
About: I’ve cared for and loved many cats and dogs throughout my life. Growing up with both, and now as an adult pet parent to two cats and a high-energy puppy, I’m well-versed in the needs of animals at every life stage. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’m fully prepared and confident in handling it all with patience, care, and energy. I currently run by own business from home meaning I make my own hours and am very flexible. I can do plenty of quick drop ins or more long term stays. Safety and providing a loving/nurturing experience is the most important to me. When walking, I do carry an air horn to only be used if there is a safety concern. Coyotes are plentiful in my area so I take any and all precautions.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of pets since I was 15. I love going for long walks and meeting new people and animals! I currently work remotely and have a lot of time on my hands for a hobby or job. I love dogs and pets and this is a great opportunity to do something I enjoy! I have a big back yard and love going for walks. Now that it’s getting warmer out, I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time outside!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mansfield Center
Jessica was absolutely great. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but Jessica made those nerves go away. It was hard to find a sitter a 2 months before our 5 day trip so finding Jessica was a blessing. She was great with our dogs & our dogs got along with her from day one. She was reliable, professional, punctual & most of all she truly took care of our boys as if they were hers. She sent daily videos & pictures. Always responded when we had questions. Always contacted us if she needed something. She even was available to check on the dogs during the day after our flight got canceled due to mechanical issues amd we couldn’t get another flight until Thursday night and we were panicking because our booking was supposed to end on Wednesday. She found a way to fit us in so she could stop by and check in on the dogs on Thursday morning and evening. We will definitely be using her again real soon. I highly recommend her.
Margaret was absolutely wonderful and we are so grateful to her for taking care of our German Shepherd. She was prompt, communicative, and trustworthy. Our dog seemed to truly enjoy his time with her, and it was so reassuring to receive photos and updates while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and are overjoyed to have found such an amazing local sitter. I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Brianna was so thoughtful - took excellent care of our two senior citizen pups. Very communicative on how they were doing, eating, etc. Sent us pics. If she wasn't sure about something, she asked. Made us feel confident that our dogs were getting the best care. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mansfield Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mansfield Center on Rover is $72.15 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 6,618 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mansfield Center. 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 Mansfield Center 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 Mansfield Center 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 Mansfield Center 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 Mansfield Center. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
