“Morgan was amazing!! She gave us several updates on how the pups were doing, which really put our mind at ease. She also sent us pictures! Will definitely book her again!”
“Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.”
“Samantha was so kind and took great care of our dogs! We even have a senior dog that requires alot right now and she took great care of her ! Loved her daily pictures and updates ! She was very trustworthy !”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of dog sitting experience and a nearly 5 year old golden doodle of my own. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and offering plenty of belly rubs. I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are, and I care for every dog like they’re part of the family. Working remotely allows me the flexibility to be available throughout the day for walks, outdoor play, and consistent, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I care for pets as if they are my own by following their routines, providing regular walks and play, maintaining a calm environment, and offering consistent, attentive care.
“Vita was kind enough to agree to care for our pups at the last minute when we had to leave town for a family funeral. She took excellent care of them and kept us updated. She even got the skittish one to warm up to her. We will definitely be seeking her services again in the future.”
About: I have had two small dogs for 7-8 years! I also dog/house-sit for my neighbors 2 huge golden doodles. I volunteer at the local animal shelter, and have experience working with big dogs, especially pitbulls and bulldogs. I watch my grandparents 4 cats, and I have rescued 2 kittens over the past year. My roommate just rescued a 1 year old dog who is the sweetest (but shyest) dog I've ever met. She warmed up to us after lots of patience and love, so I have experience with timid dogs. I currently have a job through my school, but my shifts are only 3-4 hours long which shouldn't interfere with any pet care (as long as I have enough notice to work it into my schedule). I only have classes on Tuesdays through Thursdays, and I'm done by 1:30 at the latest everyday. When caring for a pet in my clients home, my main goal is to make sure the pet feels safe and at home, because after all it is their home. I aim to follow any instructions left by the client, as well as treat the pet as I would want mine to be treated.
“Chloe’ was such a lifesaver!! My dogs usually go to a doggie daycare/boarding facility but they were full the day I needed some help. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous but Chloe’ came over the day before to meet my 2 dogs. They absolutely loved her! I always give an heads up to anyone taking care of them because they can be very excited, over reactive, and very playful. I needed her to be at my house the next morning at 05:30 am and she was there by 05:25 am. My husband was home by 6.00 pm and the dogs seemed to be happy and well taken care of.”
About: Growing up with many animals, including dogs in my home, as well as taking multiple animal education courses in college, has given me the skills to be able to give your pet a safe and fun experience in my hands. I have so much love for animals and I would love to be able to take care of your pets while giving you the reassurance that they’re in good hands. I am currently only focusing on training for basketball this summer, so I am very flexible and will have lots of time to take care of your pets. I have a big fenced in yard where my dogs have the freedom to run around and have fun outside. This could be a space where your dogs play as well if needed. I also have a crate if necessary, and I make sure to walk and play with my pets frequently, so I will definitely do the same with yours.
“Taylor did a great job of house sitting my two dogs, one cat, and snake, and also filling my outside bird feeders. She communicated with me three times a day, sending photos each time. And I think it's a testament to her abilities that my cat, who hides from everybody but me, felt confident enough to come out and be petted by around day 3. I would definitely hire her again.”
“What can I say? Anastasiia won my cat, Julie's heart over. Julie does not like people, traveling or being alone so you can imagine the predicament. During our first meeting, Anastasiia walked in and Julie investigated, and let her be petted, immediately. I knew at that point. During my trip, Anastasiia sent updates and pictures of Julie playing and basking outside. I didn't have to worry about what was happening at home. If you are looking for a pet whisperer, Anastasiia is your sitter.”
“Paige did an excellent job dog/house sitting! She was very communicative, made sure we had updates, and even offered to swing by one last time when our flight was arriving later than we expected. Will definitely be booking her again for all of our trips away. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs, from all ages! Nothing brings me more joy than walking into a home and seeing little fur babies. I house sit locally and stay up to a week at the owners house just keeping and watching over the dogs. I can feed/water, walk, play, and do just about anything needed to care for your dog(s). I have a labradoodle now and have raised him since he was born, so I have experience with all ages. I will always make sure to pay attention to your dogs needs and be just as loving as if I was his/her owner. I work 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday but I am available after those hours and on the weekends. Sometimes it may be 5 at the latest that I get off. I have a dog at my house currently that is getting old and is a service dog so we generally don’t allow other dogs in my home. But I am very open to do in home (client) sitting/walking.
“Renee was an amazing find! So helpful and flexible with my last minute travel plans. Was amazing with my special doggies, made them comfortable enough in her home for them to settle right in (which is not typical 1st day behavior for them). Thanks so much! 🤗💝🎉🐶🦮”
“Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!”
“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I'll give your pet the attention, care and playtime they need so they can have an amazing time while you are away on vacation or business Pet care works perfectly into my daily routine as a Movement & Health coach. I can drop by and check on your pet multiple times per day and even stay over. I do not plan on boarding animals at my residence. I am open to housing sitting with your animal. It's better for the animal to be in the environment that they are use to.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mayflower
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mayflower. 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 Mayflower 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 Mayflower 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mayflower 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 Mayflower. On Rover:

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.
