“Colleen and her boyfriend took wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were abroad. They left the house spotless, and Colleen even got our shy cat to come out of his shell! Highly recommend them for peace of mind while you're away.”
“Jennifer and Matt were amazing with our dog, Kenzo. We were out of town for a week, and they house sat while we were gone. They spent a ton of time at our house with Kenzo, and we got a ton of pictures. Kenzo was very happy when we got back. Would definitely book again!”
“Patricia did a great job caring for our kitties. One gets a bunch of medications, and the other gets stressed without human company, so it’s not easy leaving them. She was so communicative, flexible and thoughtful. The cats were happy to see us when we got home, which is their way of saying they had a good time.”

“Christina did a great job with Kali! It was a huge relief to know that she was getting as much attention as we give her (and more so). We missed our baby while out of town, but never once worried.”
“I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!”
“This is a repeat booking with Maddie. Maddie is such a great caretaker of our dog and home! Denney is very comfortable with her and happy to be at home instead of a kennel! Maddie sends pictures to us and takes Denney on walks, even cleans up his poops in our backyard- definitely wouldn’t have expected that. Maddie leaves our home spotless- I would definitely recommend using Maddie to care for your pets in your home.”

“Isabelle made me feel really comfortable going through this process, the first time using a rover house sitter. She took great care of Bonnie, sent lots of pics and updates, and left my home so clean and tidy!! Will definitely be requesting Isabelle again, and so should you!!!!”
“Isabella was wonderful! She was sure to update us daily. We have a picky eater and she made sure he was eating and playing daily. Our pups loved their time with Isabella and would recommend her to anyone looking for an at home sitter.”
“Lindsey was great! Her communication was clear and her replies were prompt. She stayed overnight for 2 nights and took very good care of our German Shepherd, Max, while we were away. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a sitter for your furry friend!”
“Ashlee did an amazing job. She was thorough, communicative, and left our house exactly as it was when we left for vacation (maybe even cleaner than we left it!). We have an anxious dog and Ashlee did great with her. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Kayley and I currently work from home. While caring for your pets, they will be with me all day. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to go on walks throughout the day. I love animals and would love to care for your furry family members! I had a German Shepard named Sarge growing up, who recently passed away. I don’t plan on getting my own dog right now in my life, so I thought pet sitting would be the perfect option for me. I have pet sat for many families over the years and have a passion for animals. I can take your dog to the beach, dog park, or on a long walk! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, making me available to pet sit for over nights! One of my goals is to eventually have a dog walking/pet sitting business full time. I have a large yard that is right next to Wompatuck State Park. If your pet is more comfortable in your own home that works for me too! Currently I am remote for my job, so I am available during the week and weekends! I am available all day to tend to your animals :) I love taking walks, behind my house are many trails that super enriching for dogs. I also love going to the beach for a nice walk or even the dog park!
“Laura stayed with our dog for 2 days and was fantastic. She sent lots of pictures, followed our directions to a T, gave him lots of attention and walks. She was very caring, and responsive and we felt extremely comfortable with her there because of it! Highly recommend and will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
“Valerie stayed with our three dogs for five days and did a great job managing their meds and keeping up with their schedule. She gave us regular updates and left our house spotless. We came home to three dogs that barely seemed to notice we’d been gone. We will be calling Valerie again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since a young age, mainly dogs and cats. I have a rescue dog of my own who I trained myself, as well as a senior cat with medical needs who is thriving. My neighbors trust me to care for their dogs with medical needs while they are away, and most recently, I started walking dogs during the day time and offering house visits while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. I love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet and offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! When my cat was young, we had the most wonderful cat sitter who was very in tune with animals and I said I wanted to start my own business one day like her. Well, here I am! I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your pet care needs. I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Scituate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Scituate on Rover is $94.35 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Scituate. 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 Scituate 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 Scituate 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 Scituate 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
