“Andrea was able to watch our dogs very last minute before Labor Day. Very seamless. Great communication and dogs enjoyed her around. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“This was our first experience having someone come into our home to watch our fur babies. Emily was incredible, she kept us updated on how they were doing and sending us pictures daily. We are very happy with her care and will be calling her again. Our fur babies loved her as well!”
“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”
“We’ve been struggling to find a new dog sitter since ours moved away a couple years ago. We’ve found wonderful sitters in Callie and Gemma! They house sat for us for a few nights and sent pup pics multiple times a day to show us how much fun everyone was having. One of our dogs isn’t as welcoming as the other but was gentle and opened right up to Gemma and Callie. Callie and Gemma filled the dog pool for our pups when it was hot out and sprayed them with the hose. Callie took care of our house, our pups, and our garden. She washed all the dishes, sheets, and blankets; she remade beds and even checked in the day after we got home to see how our pups were doing. We’re so grateful we found Callie and Gemma and will be using them for all of our future sitting needs.”
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
“Alexis did an excellent job with our Wheaten Terrier Harley for a 3-day house sitting job. She watched over our home and pup, took her swimming and walks and kept great communication with us. She was even engaged in a neighborhood situation where someone’s dog got out and she was able to return him to the rightful owner, who we knew. THEY too are extremely grateful. Alexis will certainly be on my top list for future weekend travel plans!!”
About: Hello! My name is Emily, and I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I have owned my own pet sitting business since I was young and have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite! I am currently a full time dog trainer so I have experience with all breeds, ages and temperaments so please let me know if you are interested in my services, I would love to meet you and your dog! I also am able to do a little training with your fur baby while I stay with them if needed! I will make sure that your dog is well cared for and well loved, I love hiking, walking and just being outside so your pup will get lots of exercise when with me. I work full time, but usually get out of work on the earlier side and sometimes work can be flexible with hours so if I have to change them I can try. When I sit in your home I am very respectful. I will keep your house clean and take care of your dog as if they were my own.
“Nina provided great care for my cats and watched my house for the weekend. Her communication was excellent and the photos appreciated. She was respectful to my home and left things neat and tidy. The cats were very relaxed when we came home and I felt they were well cared for. I plan you used her again in the future.”
“Excellent experience! This was the first time leaving our pets, two of them elderly, with someone other than family. We came home to relaxed happy pets! Christin “Sal” checked in with us daily and let us know all was well. I will most certainly use Sal again!!”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our 11yr old pup who is going blind & almost completely deaf! She followed our instructions, kept him happy, took him on walks, gave him medicine, cuddled with him, basically the works! She sent pictures & updates about 3x a day, which made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Jessica!!”
About: I’ll take care of your pets like they’re my own and provide only the best care for your animals. I’ll play with them and tire them out for you. I loss my job recently so I take my dog to the park and train with him in my free time. I train my cat with a few tricks. Obviously lots of snuggles for my animals I follow directions to the T and will provide proof of pets. I will constantly communicate with clients about their pet. I will constantly make sure your pet(s) get their needs met and more.
“We returned home to a very calm and happy dog. We were so thrilled with Keirsten. She took terrific care of our dog and our home. We have already rebooked with her and will do so again.”
“Tony took such good care of our baby! He sent photos and updates. He was super communicative about their walks, feeding times, and made us feel like Reba was fully taken good care of! Thanks Tony!”
“Elly was wonderful to work with! Our pup was well cared for and our house left in excellent condition when we returned home. We are grateful for Elly’s care and would be glad to have her watch our pup again in the future”
About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.
About: Hello! I have experience caring for pets in my area (as well as my own) and I am excited to connect with families and make some new furry friends! I am available on weekdays and weekends to pet sit or provide other pet care services! I do work full time during the week, but I will still be able to house sit and let pets outside to use the bathroom before I leave and when I come home. On weekends I am free to stay home with them all day! I love spending time with animals and enjoy taking my dog on long walks, which I’ll be happy to do with your fur baby! Giving pets, attention, keeping your pet active, and following directions/owner preferences are all strong suits of mine.
“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have one of my own. I work with dogs on a daily basis and have found that I enjoy being around all dogs and finding out their quirks. What they like, what they don't like, and how to have fun with them. I also do love cats as my household had no less than 3 when I was growing up. They can be absolute sweethearts or absolute chaos, but we all love them regardless. I can accommodate what I need to. I work 2 jobs but both are based around my preference. I am able to figure out what I need to in order to proper care for pets. I truly wish for animals to stay comfortable around me so I always try to build trust before doing anything with a dog or cat I do not know. I prefer it when I can get their true personality to shine and they feel comfortable around me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Boston
Emily was terrific with my 3 dogs. Excellent decompression skills. My rescue dog came from a horrific situation. He was only a puppy and was found in horrible circumstances. He is a wonderful dog but needs time to adjust to new people and new situations. Emily is very patient and understands giving a dog time to acclimate. She sent updated photos and letting me know how the dogs were. I have 3 large dogs ranging from 10 yrs. old. to 5 yrs. old. I would love to have Emily watch my dogs again . This is coming from an experienced dog owner and I also am very involved volunteering for 3 rescues.
Emily stayed at my house and took great care of my dog. She administered his medications as instructed and really helped me feel more relaxed while I was away. She sent me various photos during my trip which made me miss my dog a little bit less! She was flexible and enjoyed taking care of him!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Boston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Boston on Rover is $37.45 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 805 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Boston. 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 New Boston 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 New Boston 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 New Boston 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 New Boston. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
