“Perri has been amazing. She made the entire process easy, from the initial introduction to following up with us on a regular basis with updates and photos. Lots of photos! Our three dogs get so happy when she comes over to not only take care of basic needs, but to love on them and play with them. We would absolutely recommend Perri's care and service to anyone who is seeking more than just a pet-sitter, but being part of your pet-family.”

“Ryan is a fantastic dog and house sitter who loved on my dog Brady and gave him great care. He is so calm and responsible that I didn’t have a care in the world while being away for two weeks. I walked into my home just as I had left it and I think an even calmer dog than when I left him in his care. My flight was cancelled and he even stayed another night and brought him to Pet Paradise for a day of play when asked. I highly recommend Ryan as you couldn’t ask for a more helpful and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks Ryan for everything!!”

About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.

“Addie was fantastic. She stayed at my home for 15 days watching Freddie and Purrl, and honestly the communication alone made the whole trip stress-free. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how they were doing — I just knew. Came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals and a house left in great shape. Addie was respectful of my space the entire time, which matters a lot when someone's living in your home. Would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter they can actually trust while they're away.”

About: I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and those with special needs, including mild-moderate reactivity. I, myself have a 10-year-old pup that we adopted from a shelter in 2018. I've fostered dogs in the past for a senior rescue non-profit in Monterey, CA where I cared for and assisted in the adoption placement of 6 dogs over the course of 1 year. You can rest easy on your business trip, family vacation, or wherever you are knowing that I will treat your four-legged family member as my own. Thank you very much for considering me! I'm currently working part-time as an after-school teacher, so I'm only away for 3-4 hours a few days a week. Outside of this, my daily schedule is fairly flexible so I can work around your pets' normal schedule! I like to keep to a regular schedule with the pets I'm caring for. I've found that by doing this, they warm up to me more quickly and it helps ease any potential stress of their family being away. A typical general day would include a morning walk, afternoon park visit, hike, or other similar high energy play-time, and an evening walk. I also love to include mental stimulation throughout the day such as mini-training sessions. I will always do a consultation before care begins to ensure I have a thorough understanding of the daily needs for your pet to adjust the schedule as needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I became a teenager. I’ve also house sat in addition to pet sat for 8 years now, and have reliable references. Pet sitting is currently a side gig alongside my full time job, but I’d love to help with any pet care I can! I currently work 9-6 M-F at a daycare, so I will have mornings and evenings (plus a lunch break from work) and weekends to check in, feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pet. I ensure leads and harnesses are properly put on pets when walks are needed, I ensure a clean house so that pets do not eat anything off the floor, tables, countertops, etc., I ensure doors are locked at all times

“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Kirstie did an excellent job taking care of our two male cats while we were away last week. During the meet and greet she took careful notes, asked questions to clarify certain points, and provided honest feedback. She came across as mature and trustworthy and proved that she was. During our time away, she provided daily updates and photos and let us know when one of our cats was gone longer than she thought he would be. All turned out well. I would definitely use Kirstie again!”

About: I have always been around a lot of dogs, cats, horses, chickens you name it, growing up on a farm gave me much discipline needed for pet care. My schedule is open! I am a student at UTC and have classes during the week 9-5ish but free in evenings and on weekends. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home because I go to school away from where I live so I am mostly in Nashville.

FAQs for House Sitting - New England

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 432 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New England. 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 England 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 England 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 England 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 England. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
