“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”

“Dusti-Lee was all round amazing!!!💖 She definitely has a special way with animals and Jewel took to her immediately during the meet and greet!🥰 So I could already tell that she was going to be an ideal sitter. Dusti-Lee was not only warm and loving with Jewel (which is really needed to gain Jewel’s trust), she was proficient at following our complex instructions closely! Not only was she so very responsive when I had to reach out at short notice because our sitter canceled on us with no warning, but she was wonderfully communicative throughout the stay!! I’ve no doubt Jewel loved Dusti-Lee, and we’d use her again.💞 (Also, we were so grateful that the house seemed even cleaner than we’d left it! Thank you, Dusti-Lee!💗)”

“Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, always having one in my family and watching family and friends dogs. I spent my quarantine taking care of my very hyper and energetic puppy. I also care for family and friends dogs when they go out of town or need me too. I’m currently enrolled at UMass Amherst, where I am currently a Senior. I typically use time between or after classes for pet care and take advantage of the weekends. As an active individual, I would be able to take your dog out whenever they need to, as well as having a large backyard for them to play.

“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”

“Kimberly was a great dog sitter for our dog, and I highly recommend her! She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated regularly throughout dog sitting duration. We especially appreciated how proactive she was in reaching out whenever she had a question or wanted to check on something. The frequent updates and all the wonderful pictures gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Kimberly truly went above and beyond. When we returned, not only had she taken excellent care of our dog, but she had also cleaned the house and even washed the sheets and blankets which was something we never expected but greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and caring dog sitter, Kimberly is an excellent choice.”

About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!

Dusti Lee is one of the best dog sitters a dog mom has ever dreamed of. Ollie was in good hands while I was on the longest trip away from my little guy. He was well cared for, and I received several photos that put many of my worries to rest. So thankful we found this gem. Thank you, Dusti Lee!! From Ollie and Emmaline

FAQs for House Sitting - Mendon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mendon is $106 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $95 and $115 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.

As of October 2026, there are 5,182 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mendon. 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 Mendon 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 Mendon 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 Mendon 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Mendon. 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.
