“Jamie took great care of our dog. She was communicative and was able to help us out last minute. Callie seemed to have a great time and felt very comfortable with Jamie. We will definitely rebook!”
“Jordin took great care of our animals. We have 2 dogs and 2 bunnies that were in her care. She made sure to check in with us to let us know how things were going and sent pictures.”
“From the very first meet‑and‑greet, I knew Carina was the perfect match for my boy, Sheppy. She connected with him instantly, and the peace of mind I felt from that moment only grew throughout my trip abroad. Carina went above and beyond while staying in my home and caring for Sheppy. She checked in regularly, shared the sweetest photos, and kept me updated in a way that made me feel completely at ease. It was clear she treated him with the same love, patience, and attention she would give her own dog. Carina is responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted with animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave my boy. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. I will be booking her again even without travel plans just to keep Sheppy and his new BFF Carina connected.”
“Gracie had an amazing time with Alexis while she was petsitting at my condo. She sent frequent videos and photos. Gracie had exciting walks every day and was very much loved and cuddled.”
“Amazing sitter. She took great care of my boy and provided updates. She was also able to help out at the last minute. Will definitely be having her watch him again in the near future.”
About: I'm a local cat mom with 13 years of experience. I have a 9 year old Raggamuffin named Patches. I specialize in cat care, but also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of my friends and family. Whether I'm visiting a shy cat who needs space or an energetic dog ready for a walk, I promise to show up consistently, follow your pet's routine, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax while you're away. I currently have an open and flexible schedule which means I can accommodate early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and multi-day house sitting stays. Whether I'm doing a drop-in, a dog walk, or an overnight sit, I treat your pet and home the way I'd want mine treated. For cat visits I follow feeding and play routines, scoop the litter, and refresh water. For dog walks I keep them to familiar, low-traffic routes until I get to know your pup. For house sits, I keep the space tidy with doors and windows secure.
“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”
“Nikki was phenomenal! She took such great care of our two dogs and cat, one dog who was recovering from surgery with some exercise limitations. We are so grateful for her ability to tire them out and make them feel comfortable at home. Will definitely be reaching out again for future booking needs! Thanks, Nikki!”
“Jeanne was wonderful! We planned a summer trip before we even knew we were getting a puppy, so we were nervous about leaving her behind at only 6 months old. Jeanne came to the house ahead of time to meet our puppy and understand our needs and Coco's routines. During her stay at our house, she sent us updates and pictures, and we knew that Coco was in good hands! I would book with Jeanne again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to feel loved while they are away!”
About: I moved US 5 yearsago, my babies living with my family at my country. I have been taking care of a dog for about 15years and a cat for 13years. I’m currently working for 5 days a week but I can reschedule my work hours. Night care, day care and I can also be available for a few hours during the day. The site I live in has a special area for animals. I never close my room door and leave my pet outside while I sleep at night. I really miss my babies. I promise to take good care of your babies
About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
About: I’ve been working with dogs for about 2 years now going on three next month. I do work at a doggy day care so I am with different breeds of dogs everyday and learning new things as well. I take care of 3 Samoyeds a lot of the time which are very high maintenance and a lot to take care of. I work at a doggy daycare from Sunday To Wednesday Morning so Wednesday Night-Saturday Night are the best times to walk or check in on your fur baby. As a dog walker , I walk my dogs everyday even though they have a fenced in backyard. I still think it is important for them to get some walks in through the day.
About: I don't have any experience on pet care but would love to get experience I do have two cats of my own and love pets I do play with my two cats and put food and water down and I also play with my sisters three dogs and four cats The way I care for pets in my house is I play with the dogs and cats and I left the dogs outside if they need to go out
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, it has always been a pleasure watching pets for my friends and family and I have two of my own, an Alaskan Malamute and a mixed rescue. I like to bring them out to nature to sniff new places and fun activities. I’ve also volunteered as a foster for the MSPCA, including for puppy litters. After adopting Raven, I completed the MSPCA’s shy dog training to support her as a fearful dog and she has done amazing progress. I have been pet sitting and boarding for years, some of them along my own dogs as I put some pictures below. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and behaviors, including the ones that need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort level, and my goal is to get to know them individually to make walks and drop-in visits a safe, positive experience! I work regular business hours usually, but my schedule varies and allows for flexibility throughout the week, especially when planning ahead, my partner also supports our dogs at home. I do my best effort to accommodate different schedules and individual needs. I value clear communication regarding what usually works for your pup, as we know it’s out of the pet’s routine to have someone else tend to them and I want it to be a comfortable and safe experience. I always pay attention to body language, their boundaries and surroundings to create a safe and positive experience. My own dogs are crate-trained and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs on a leash. I follow their established routines and provide owners with many updates as I would like someone handling my pups to do.
“Kept us updated with notes and photos and did a great job. Animals happy and house in great shape after a 2 week stay. Would definitely like to use Shannon’s services again!”
“Amanda did a great job with our dog and cat. She took special care to check in with us at feeding times due to our cat's health issues and was very attentive to both of them theought the weekend. Would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for for a little piece of mind while they're away from home!”
“Betina took amazing care of our pup Maisy, our birds, and our house while we were out of town for four nights. She was very patient with our dog (who takes a while to warm up to people) and flexible with us schedule-wise. 💯 recommend.”
“Sasha is an absolute gem. She is such a great communicator and truly cares about our animals. We wouldn’t be able to feel comfortable leaving our Mayzie and Piccolo with anyone else other than family. She is a gentle soul with our fur babies and they enjoy having her while we’re gone. We’re going to call her Saint Sasha from now on because she was so generous to clean the house while we were out of town! Thank you!!”
“We have used used Rover many, many times of the past few years for our two large dogs and two cats. Theo S is absolutely the best house sitter we have ever had. Far exceeded our expectations! Will definitely book again without hesitation!”

Ann Marie is fantastic! She was able to accommodate me last minute after my originally planned dog care fell through. She was very communicative, took extra time to meet me to walk through my dog Remys routine and treated him like he was one of her own while we were away. Anyone who loves their dog like a fur baby knows the guilt and worry of leaving them behind while being away and my husband and I had peace of mind knowing he was so well taken care of. We will definitely be reaching out again, thank you so much Ann Marie for taking such great care of Remy.
John did wonderful with Avery at our place. He was very communicative about everything. Avery must have been happy to have been with him because the pictures I was sent showed she was having a great time. I trust John to sit again because he knew Avery had some weird quirks but handled them well. Thanks again!
Exceptional Pet Sitter – Highly Recommended! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Chasity! She takes exceptional care of our dogs, Dexter and Lizzie, and treats them as if they were her own. From the moment she arrives, her caring and loving nature shines through in everything she does. During each visit, Chasity makes sure they get plenty of exercise with multiple walks, backyard playtime, and lots of attention and affection. She is attentive to their needs, rewards good behavior appropriately, and always goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The true testament to the bond she has built with them is their reaction whenever we say her name. Dexter and Lizzie immediately run to the door and wait excitedly for her arrival. That level of trust and excitement speaks volumes about the love and care she provides. Chasity has exactly the kind of warm, loving demeanor every pet owner hopes to find in someone caring for their furry family members. We have complete peace of mind knowing our dogs are in her care, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and truly outstanding pet sitter!
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
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!!
Vanessa was amazing! I’ve been a rover pet sitter for a few years but this was my first time using it as a pet parent and I couldn’t be happier! She sent so many pictures and I could tell our cat was being taken care of and completely comfortable with her. I would 1000% recommend Vanessa and plan to use her again.
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.
Monika was wonderful. She had to take care of two dogs who do not get along with each other, a visiting dog and the dog in residence. She did a great job of caring for each dog and taking each of them for a walk. She kept the peace and all was well when we got home.
Kyleigh was a lifesaver!! Kyleigh took our pet sitting job on short notice when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. She took great care of our very timid dog noodles and our two curious cats. Her communication skills are great. She updated us every day. I would definitely have Kyleigh sit for us again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Andover is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $105 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 5,920 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Andover. 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 North Andover 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 North Andover 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 North Andover 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 North Andover. 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.
