“This is our first time having Beatriz watch our 5 year old Vizsla and we couldn’t be happier. She truly cared about him and his needs. We could tell from the moment we got home how well he was cared for. And our house was left in amazing condition!! Will be booking her again in a heartbeat”
“Carina was amazing! She watched Oliver for the day on super short notice and was so great with him. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Oliver seemed so happy and well taken care of. I would definitely have Carina watch Oliver again and highly recommend her!”
“Lilian was fantastic with Dexter and Nova during our booking. Dexter, our energetic little pup, and Nova, our sweet cat, were both calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Lilian kept everything smooth and stress‑free, giving them plenty of attention and making sure their routines stayed on track. It’s such a relief knowing they were in kind, capable hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”

“As someone dog sits myself, I am very particular about who we trust to watch our pups. This is our second time having Kaitlyn sit for the girls and we feel so, so grateful to have found her.

“Cheryl dog sat at our house for our six-year-old bulldog and one-year-old rescue (only two weeks with us when Cheryl came). She did a great job. Clyde our new rescue took a couple days to warm up to Cheryl, but she did a great job making him comfortable. I would definitely use Cheryl again!”
“Grace really helped us out in a pinch ! Our sitter Couldn’t sit last minute and Grace happily came by met our kitty and was able to watch her while we traveled to visit family.

Emily was wonderful and we’d love to have her back. She was incredibly patient and flexible with our little old man who needed extra care. I felt so confident about her being there and was assured by her daily updates and pics that he was in good hands. Highly recommended!!
Sasha is my hero. Let me explain why. We have 4 dogs: 3 seniors and a special needs teenage Great Dane puppy. One senior is 180 pounds, one is almost 100 pounds and fecal incontinent, and the third senior is 65 pounds and a very slow, picky eater. The puppy is over 100 pounds, she’s blind and deaf, and when Sasha sat for us, she had just started her first heat. We don’t have a pack, we have a herd of ponies. LOL Despite all that, Sasha handled them with love and kindness. She did such a great job, she officially became one of their Aunties. So when I give my recommendation and a 5 star rating, it’s because I would happily use Sasha again. My only concern is she’ll be so in demand, I won’t be able to book her when I need her!
Ava was amazing and my fur baby Lucky loved her . We always have a hard time leaving Lucky when we go on vacation but having Ava to watch him was a huge piece of mind . We Will definitely have Ava back to watch Lucky . Ava always kept us up to date with how lucky was doing and also lots of pictures .
We had a wonderful first experience with Melanie as our dog sitter. Our plans changed a few times, and she was extremely patient, flexible, and responsive throughout the process. She arrived right on time, stayed later than originally planned, and took excellent care of our dog. Melanie sent us pictures and regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. She was pleasant, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her and look forward to using her again!
Dari has done an excellent job taking care of our pets again. One of our cats has complex medical needs and medications that are difficult to administer and she took care of him so well. We came back to the house cleaner than we found it. We will be using her again!
I can’t say enough good things about Ava. We had never left our dog with anyone prior to this trip. Our pup is anxious & not super fond of having guests at our house, so we weren’t even sure it would work. Ava won her over during several dog walks & visits, and the overnight stay went better than I could ever have hoped. Ava sent lots of photos during her stay, which helped us enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. She is responsible & easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!
Joseph and Meg were fantastic! They were always responsive and took great care of our dog and cat. I had our house professionally deep cleaned before our 2 week trip when Joseph and Meg would be staying at our house. When we got back, it looked EXACTLY the same! They were very respectful of our space and I will most definitely be using them again.
For the past 5 years it’s been increasingly difficult to find dependable and understanding house sitters for my anxious and fearful Chihuahua.Jacky is both and more.She was punctual and adapted to Finn’s personality and schedule without a problem.He’s scared and yippy when meeting new people but it didn’t take long for him to cuddle up to Jacky.There were many pictures and updates which I appreciated and put me at ease knowing that Finn was being well cared for.Unfortunately,for us, distance is a problem going forward with house sitting which is our main need.I would not hesitate for a second to have Jacky care for Finn,again,and I highly recommend her.Your babies will be in excellent hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Methuen on Rover is $50 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,947 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Methuen. 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 Methuen 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 Methuen 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 Methuen 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.
