“Linh is fantastic! She house sat for our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. I'm usually nervous about leaving our pups with a new sitter, especially after we had a bad experience with one (not thru Rover) a few years back. But Linh's knowledge and calm, confident demeanor instilled confidence in me so I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent updates and frequent photos throughout the week. Not only did she leave our house the way we left it, but she washed all of the sheets and towels which was not expected but very much appreciated. We will be using her again for our next vacation and I know the pups will be excited to see her again!”
“Tricia was fabulous! Our dogs loved her. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She left our house spotless, took the dogs for long walks which they loved, and kept us updated with texts and photos. We were delayed getting home due to a blizzard, and she could not have been more flexible or helpful. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for large and small dogs, walking multiple large dogs off-leash, and caring for dogs and cats overnight, or for drop-ins. As a collegiate field hockey player, I can keep up with the highest energy dogs! I love the outdoors and going on walks as well as just staying in and playing with your pets. I love spending time with pets and go out of my way to make time for them! I am happy to stop by and drop in, take them on walks, or house sit. I foster a calm and comfortable space in your home to make your pet feel comfortable when their owner is away! I will adopt any habits you do to make them happy as well.
“Charlene was great with our senior dog Jasper. She took the time with him that he needed to be he happiest he could be. The house was spotless and Jasper enjoyed her attention.”
“Becki is a great sitter with experience, professionalism and compassion for pets in her care. We felt so comfortable knowing she would care for our pup and do exactly what was needed. I think they had a great time too!”
“Donna did a good job taking care of Tashi under fairly difficult circumstances, including a snowstorm and a dog who was reluctant to cooperate at first. She sent pictures every day and kept us updated on how he was doing. Will use Donna again in the future.”
“We hired Salina as an in house cat sitter during our 8 day vacation to the cape. We had no idea at the time that we had found a sitter that did anything but sit. She played with ‘Roosevelt’ with toys she purchased herself; she showered our cat with love recognizing his need for affection and at the same time, showed respect for his individuality and need for his own space and routine. Best of all, in Salina’s communication with us throughout our vacation she described a real bonding and friendship she and Roosevelt formed. We could see this for ourselves in the photos she sent us. My husband and I would not hesitate for a moment to place Roosevelt again entirely in Salina’s capable hands.”
“Grateful for Juliana! Had a sitter accidentally double book with us and scrambled and was grateful to find her. The dogs loved her and she gave updates upon request. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Julie staying with our two small dogs while we vacationed internationally. Julie was communicative and pleasant and sent pictures almost daily. She even met some of our neighbors, who said our dogs absolutely loved her. When we arrived home, our house was tidy and spotless. I would not hesitate to work with Julie again!”
“Christie was absolutely wonderful! She sent tons of pictures and updates. She treated our pups like they were her own, took great care of our home and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing how well-cared for they were. We would highly recommend Christie and will definitely have her sit for us again! ♥️”
About: I have always loved dogs and even have a dog of my own. I am extremely patient and consider myself to be kind. I work as a kindergarten teacher so I am used to taking care of things and tending to their needs. As a kindergarten teacher, I have lots of free time on weekends and school breaks, and I figured the best use of my time would be to do something I already enjoy doing and also help other people out as well. Since I already own a dog of my own I am very conscientious of what dogs can or cannot do, eat, or be near. I try to play with them as much as possible and be friendly with them so they feel comfortable around new people.
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Sasha! She was on time for the meet and greet and cat sitting start date. She sent lots of photos of Sasha and updates on her eating and litter habits. Sasha sometimes gets lonely when we leave on vacation and has not eaten in the past but ate and played fine and seemed very comfortable with Samantha. Would definitely recommend Samantha for cat/dog sitting!”
“I had an amazing experience with my dog and pig sitter, Eliza, who stayed at my home for over a week. She took exceptional care of both my dog and pig, and I came home to animals that were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Eliza made sure both animals received their medicine (rolling with the punches because Buddy got an infection right before we left so it was an added responsibility she took on in stride) Eliza was incredibly thoughtful and sent regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that my pets were getting real attention, not just basic care. She was also very communicative and responsive whenever I had questions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. My dog Buddy clearly bonded with her during the stay, he actually seemed a little sad when Eliza left, buddy went to the room she stayed in when we got home from our trip 😂 before sleeping where he usually. Highly recommend I would trust Eliza again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Hailey was amazing! We left for a week and she took wonderful care of our two cats and our small dog at home. She stayed overnight, sent us updates and pictures every day, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. It was obvious our pets loved her. They looked happy and comfortable in every update, and when we got home, they seemed relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. She also treated our home with great respect. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Carolyn was an amazing sitter for Missy. We received lots of updates and it was clear Missy really appreciated Carolyn, when we got home she went back to snuggle with Carolyn! Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet girl!”

We had an outstanding experience with Linh. She was punctual, professional, and asked great questions during our initial meet-and-greet, and then demonstrated incredible flexibility when our departure schedule changed at the last minute and we asked if she might be able to come over earlier than planned. Our social, very talkative cat Callie bonded with Linh immediately and absolutely adored her — to the point where I’m pretty sure Callie was disappointed when we walked through the door after our trip and Linh left! We received lots of photos and updates from Linh, all showing a relaxed, happy cat who clearly felt completely at ease. Callie even slept with Linh at night! Linh was definitely a savior when we couldn't locate another sitter. We couldn’t ask for better care and we’ll definitely book with Linh again....Callie wouldn't have it any other way!
Isabella was a fantastic dog sitter! We have a new puppy which is a bit more complicated than an older dog….but Isabella handled all of our instructions with ease. She gave us great confidence in being away from the house, and we’ll definitely hire her again.
Every time we plan a vacation, we make sure to check whether Haley will be available to take care of our shepherd during those dates of our absence. She is very caring and reliable. We told our closest friends about our experience, and they asked us to give them a way to get in touch with Haley. We have only positive emotions from our side—and from our beloved dog as well.
Sonya was an incredibly kind, caring, trustworthy and responsible care giver for my dog [a 75 pound yellow lab] and my house. She was very easy to coordinate with and provided confidence that my dog would be well taken care of while we were away. Sonya sent up photos and updates throughout making our trip that much more enjoyable. Thank you Sonya - I would highly recommend her and can't wait to reach out to her again.
Lilit went above and beyond for my anxious little chihuahua, who ADORED her. She spent so much time with my animals and was in constant contact with videos and photos. She was an excellent sitter and immediately won over a pretty neurotic pup. Will definitely hire again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Natick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Natick on Rover is $88.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Natick. 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 Natick 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 Natick 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 Natick 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
