“Natalie is terrific! She pet and house sat for my two cats and one dog. I’d just recently adopted the pup, who was still very nervous around people she didn’t know. Natalie had incredible patience with her - gave her lots of space and care, and my pup finally came around. She was also great with my cats. Natalie is responsive with communication and reliable, brings experience to her work, and asks questions if something isn’t clear. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jaclyn was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the weekend and left the house even better than we left it. Loki warmed up to her and she understood the process for getting a Shiba to accept you into their pack. I would absolutely recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”
“For almost 2 weeks, while I was on vacation in the EU, Carol was at my home with my dog and I was able to let go and completely enjoy my vacation because I knew my dog and home were in good hands. I would highly recommend Carol!”
“Thomas was amazing. Our German Sheppard warmed up to him so quickly and had a blast being watched by him. We will definitely be using him consistently going forward, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“Nancy is an ideal sitter. She was attentive to care instructions and comes with experience around fully trained service animals- a big must for me. At the meet and greet she took notes and instantly hit it off with my furry baby. Nancy is must if you want safe, fun and compassionate company for your pet. I appreciated the high level professionalism and occasional photo updates. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have Joyfully shared my entire life with pets for 70 years now!! I speak Fluent Feline and Canine and have been a pet parent to dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, turtles and fish as a child and provided daycare for birds. I am also a Certified Level ll Reiki Energy Practitioner. My services include Housesitting, Drop-ins and both dog and cat walking! My beloved Josie used to love going outside on a harness and leash since she and brother Shadow were feral-born barn kitties and then “indoor only” rescue pets for 15+ years! My “Platinum Spa” Services include pet massage and Reiki sessions for an additional fee for Housesitting and Drop In clients. My Passion to care for other people’s pets as a new career/business stems from the tragic loss of both my feline companions at the end of 2024. I have decided to no longer own pets myself and to get my “Pet Love Fixes” by Pampering My Client’s pets as if they were my own!! I have maximum flexibility with scheduling 24/7 for all services in the 5 Colleges Area of Western MA. I am also available to travel outside my local area to provide pet, plant and housesitting services upon request. I provide a full menu of services at client’s homes including multiple walks daily on leash, outings to local dog parks and hiking trails, specialized diets and medications, senior and disabled pet care, active playtime, basic training reinforcement, photos and text updates on how your pet is doing with each visit. My exclusive pet massage and Reiki treatments can enhance your pet’s health and happiness under my care!!
“Kristin was a wonderful cat sitter who took great care of my two kitties while I was away. She was conscientious and communicative, sending updates and photos keeping me well informed of everything happening back home. Highly recommended!”
“Priya watched my very sick yet hyper puppy and my active 3 year old Aussie while I worked long shifts one weekend She made me feel so confident that my dogs were in good hands. They can be rather crazy and that didn't scare her off at all! Such a blessing!”
“Megan was the best! She was prompt, very responsible, respected our home , & loved on our sweet pup ?! Meagan communicated & sent pictures frequently throughout our trip, which we asked her to do. She cleaned up after herself, as well as our Susie. We will definitely book again!”
“Abigail was a great sitter for our crew (2 dogs and 6 cats). She took thorough notes at our meet and greet, was super responsive and provided plenty of updates for us while we were away. It was clear that all the pets enjoyed her company and trusted that she was there to care for them. She left the house in great shape as well and even left us an adorable memento from her time caring for our pets. Would definitely want her to sit for us again!”
About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work part-time, so I am available in the early mornings and afternoons. I work nights on Mondays and Wednesday but are usually out by 9pm. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.
“Iví was incredible. She was very sweet and took great care of our pets and our home during a weekend stay. We came home to a clean, tidy home and two very relaxed, happy dogs. Iví also provided updates and made sure to let us know how the pups were doing during their stay. We would absolutely hire Iví again.”
“Dorjee provided one night of house sitting to care for my elderly cat and made herself available for periods of time throughout both days to spend time with her. Dorjee made sure food was eaten and consulted with me to figure out how to best give my cat her medication when she initially refused to take it. She clearly loves animals and taking care of them is a vocation.”
“Molly was a wonderful house and dog sitter for my very nervous 10yo doggy. My dog Charlie is a very shy boy, but he took to Molly immediately and that gave me so much confidence while I was away. Charlie was very nervous on walks as always, but Molly was very gracious and patient with Charlie and was super communicative with me! She also left the house in perfect condition. Will definitely seek out Molly’s services in the future!”
About: I have cared and worked with cats and dogs since a young age. I will take my time to get to know your animals and they will trust and look forward to seeing me! I work as an educator, so my summer is open and super flexible. In July, I will be working from 8:30am - 12pm Monday through Thursday. Either way, I am a morning person. I love waking up and relaxing on the couch with the animals drinking some coffee or tea, and then spending the day on the couch or outside running around depending on their mood. I fully communicate with clients to ensure set boundaries and specific pet care needs. I can be hands on and active, or simply a presence in the room to ease anxiety.
About: I have worked at boarding facilities and doggy day cares for two years and I am very knowledgeable in safe pet care! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born, and my mother is a professional dog trainer so I’ve picked up a lot of dog behavior knowledge along the way. I would love to put my time to use by watching your furry friends!! I will devote every second to giving them all the love they deserve. I am available for full time pet sitting, walks, or drop-ins whenever you need them! In my home we have one pup who is super spoiled. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and give them the love and care they deserve! My experience in professional pet care has provided me with extensive knowledge on pet behavior and needs, so you can trust that your four-legged-friend is safe with me!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Hatfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Hatfield. 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 Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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.

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.
