“Traci was super responsive and willing to accommodate our very last minute over night request with our young puppy who, while adorable, is a handful at this age! She was super helpful not only providing the care we needed, but also offering some helpful recommendations for his schedule, toys, etc after spending a night with him which were super valuable to us as new puppy parents. We’d hire Traci again in a heartbeat!”
“Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!”
“Kathleen was an amazing sitter! Both my dog and my cat absolutely loved her. She sent a lot of photos and updates, which is very appreciated as I got to see what they were up to throughout the day. When I got back the house was spotless and our pets were tuckered out from playing with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Meghan did an excellent job pet sitting our dog and cat. They were well taken care of, she sent pictures of them regularly so we didn't worry and she left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole is the best! She’s so kind and great with our pup, Alli! She watched her during our wedding weekend and allowed us to truly focus and enjoy. She was very thoughtful and even left us a card! Would highly recommend Nicole to anyone in the area!!”
“Tanya did a wonderful job taking care of Bernie and also left our house in mint condition. She communicated well and kept us posted on how things were going. We'd highly recommend her to others!”
“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”
About: I grew up caring for and feeding the neighbors cats and dogs in my teenage years. Kirby was our first indoor dog, I helped care for him through two knee surges multiple tooth extractions and into his senior years when he required special meals and extra care with respiratory and mobility issues. I've cared for cats, and dogs of varying ages. I typically never travel over the holidays and would be happy to spend time taking care of your sweet pets! I work full time but have extra time on my days off or before and after shifts to give pets the attention they need, I love to get outside wether that's walking (or in some cases pushing the stroller for your senior dog/cat) to get some fresh air and exercise. I'm happy to take them to their favorite park or just hang out and give lots of love and pets or in cases of some cats ignore them till they love me. Let me know if they have any rituals or new training your working on with them so they can have the continuity even when your not home.
“Claudia was wonderful with our Luna girl. She communicated frequently with photos and clearly loved our baby! Highly, highly recommend and hope to have her stay with Luna again!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week so my schedule is a bit weird, but I am always happy to work something out! I’m generally available for walks/drop ins Monday and Friday at 5pm, Tuesday after 6pm, Wednesday before 5:30pm, Thursday both between 11am and 1pm as well as after 6:30pm, and all day on the weekends. Please just message me and I’d be happy to find a time that works! In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
“If we could give Bianca 10 shining stars, we would! Bianca took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper, in our home. Bianca arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Bianca sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Bianca has our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Bianca!!!!!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“Nine days of dog sitting is a big ask - especially with a reactive dog - and we greatly appreciate the care and attention to detail Charlie gave to our pup, Henry. Great communication before and during the stay!”
“Stef rocks! She was an excellent communicator and responsive during the booking process and sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy and our home while we were away. It was such a relief to have Stef to care for my pup!”
“Allison was wonderful with our two dogs! She was very positive and willing to work to gain their trust with her calm, cheerful attitude. We loved the daily photos, videos with commentary (!!), and updates. We highly recommend Allison.”
“Andrew was great with Koji. He took good care of him, took him for walks, played with him & kept him entertained. Koji has some mobility issues and Andrew followed our directions carefully and kept Koji comfortable. He was also able to administer medications as needed. Will work with him again :)”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Nonantum is $65

Traci was great with my Siberian Husky who is not the easiest dog to watch. I can tell in the short time she was here my dog bonded with her because Traci put in the effort for that to happen. She also seems to instinctively understand dogs and what they want and when they want it. She followed all my special instructions for the few particularities of my dog. I would definitely hire Traci again and I plan to in the future.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful sitter — went above and beyond! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our beagle Ollie over Halloween weekend! From start to finish, she was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and caring. It was immediately clear that Ollie wasn’t just being watched; he was genuinely loved and cared for like family. She sent us tons of wonderful photos and even personalized videos of Ollie throughout the weekend, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was clearly having a fantastic time with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. We especially appreciated how proactive she was about communicating, asking thoughtful questions and clarifying details ahead of time to make sure she understood Ollie’s needs and routine. She also administered all of his medications and supplements perfectly and right on schedule, which we really appreciated. As if all of that weren’t enough, she left Ollie a sweet Halloween-themed goodie bag, such a thoughtful and personal touch that showed just how much care she put into the experience! She also left our home absolutely spotless and in perfect condition. It’s rare to find someone who is so reliable, detail-oriented, communicative, and genuinely loving toward your pet. We felt completely comfortable knowing Ollie was in such wonderful hands, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave him. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter and would happily book her again. Ollie was clearly very well cared for, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience!
morgan was so incredible with my pups! i have an anxious dog and a high energy dog and she handled both their temperaments so well. i got frequent photos and my house was left so neatly which was great to come home to. will be using morgan again asap + would recommend her to anyone!
Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.
J is such a great cat sitter!! Highly recommend!! She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and I could tell my cats were happy and relaxed with her in every pic (and there were so many pics!!!). I will definitely reach out to J for more cat sitting in the future!
Emily was great as always! She stayed with our puppy for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Knowing that Charlie was in such good, responsible hands really put our minds at ease -- and Emily was great about keeping us connected with loads of pictures along the way.
We’re very pleased with Corinne, who cared for our dog Luna during Labor Day weekend. She arrived early to get to know Luna, our home, and our routines, then spent time with us beforehand to document food, bedtime, and house rules so Luna stayed consistent and safe. When Luna was nervous about walks, Corinne asked for advice and used our suggestion to take her in the car to a new spot, which worked well. We received constant updates with photos of walks, meals, and bedtime, plus a detailed notebook on the counter tracking everything. We felt completely comfortable trusting Corinne with such an important family member—she was more reliable than a relative or neighbor. We’d definitely recommend Corinne to anyone seeking a loving, kind companion for their pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nonantum is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $100 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 November 2026, there are 6,532 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nonantum. 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 Nonantum 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 Nonantum 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 Nonantum 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Nonantum. On Rover:
- 86% 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.
