“Patti goes above and beyond! Incredible communication, genuine care for your pets and your home! We came home to fresh made muffins, a refrigerator that looked like Martha Stewart had visited and most importantly our two pups who were well rested and obviously loved! I know we will be working with Patti again!”
“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!”

“I only wish I could give Allegra six stars! Our dog Minka has always had an issue with boarding. She does not like the kennel and she gets very anxious boarding there. I’ve tried to find someone to board her with, but many people will not take shepherds because of insurance issues. I found Allegra on Rover and was impressed with her reviews. Minka does not do well when she first meets a new person and when Allegra came for an initial interview, Minka was not as friendly as she typically is with family and friends. Allegra was not phased in the least and said she was happy to come back and that she preferred working with big dogs. When Allegra came back to babysit for our four day trip once again, Minka greeted her with barking and suspicion. Again, Allegra was not phased in the least and by the time we got home from our short trip, Minka had been sleeping on the bed with Allegra and didn’t want her to leave. I was beginning to think Minka liked Allegra more than me! Allegra also left the house spotless! I was so relieved that Minka finally had a positive boarding experience that I already have already booked Allegra for two more trips. I would recommend Allegra highly and without reservation.”
“Madeline was exemplary in providing attentive care for Teddy and the house while we were away for a long weekend. She followed our protocol sheet to a “T” and provided exercise and comfort for Teddy daily. Madeline kept the house spotless and took care of any additional concerns with ease. We will be looking to work with Madeline again in the future.”
“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.”
“Janice really helped us out and watched our 2 horses and dog so we could go to a Red Sox game while we were traveling through Massachusetts! She was really nice and trustworthy. Thanks Janice! Maybe our paths will cross again someday.”
“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!”
“Abhay was quick to respond and took great care of my parent's 2 dogs and 2 cats. One of the dogs required 2x daily medicine and Abhay was sure to let us know that he was taking it and keeping him healthy. He was also responsible when it came to the heat wave that was happening while he was watching the pets and still ensured the dogs got plenty of exercise! Thank you Abhay.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care that goes beyond the basics. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs and quirks, and I tailor my approach to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's patiently training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs, I have the experience and skills to handle a variety of situations. More than just a sitter, I strive to be a trusted companion for your furry friend, offering engaging playtime, enriching activities, and plenty of cuddles. With me, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention, leaving you with peace of mind while you're away. I offer flexible availability and am currently accepting bookings Thursday through Saturday for dog walks, drop-in visits, and home boarding. My primary job has a flexible schedule, so if you have a request outside of my listed availability or need care at a specific time, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always happy to review requests and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs whenever possible. Caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, begins with understanding that each animal is an individual with unique needs and preferences. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for every pet under my care. This involves removing any potential hazards, providing a cozy space for relaxation, and ensuring access to fresh food and water at all times. Regular exercise is also key, tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level, whether it's a brisk walk for a young pup or gentle playtime for a senior dog. Beyond the basics, I'm highly attentive to each pet's behavior and health, watching for any signs of discomfort or distress. Most importantly, I always adhere closely to the owner's instructions, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same level of care and attention they would at home.
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies through seniors and small to large dogs. I have a lot of flexibility with my time and can be available as needed. Happy to take dogs on walks or care in their own home. I am a stay at home parent, so I have a lot of flexibility for times I'm able to help out. I'm happy to work around whatever your schedule and needs are. I am very good at reading a dogs mood and cues for their needs. I can tailor my care for the needs of each individual pet. Whether they are more comfortable being inside their own home, like to play in the backyard, or go for walks in the park, I can guarantee they will have a great time and feel safe.
“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly as a puppy sitter! She recently took care of our energetic puppy, Banksy, for 12 days while we were on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Kimberly, we felt completely at ease leaving Banksy in her care. She provided regular text and photo updates, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to – it was so reassuring to see Banksy happy and well-cared for. Kimberly went above and beyond by taking Banksy to dog parks for socialization and exercise, something he thoroughly enjoyed. A huge bonus was that Banksy got to stay with Kimberly's own dog, Henry, who he adored! Not only did Banksy have a buddy to play with, but Henry was also fantastic at teaching him valuable dog manners. Kimberly's home is a safe and inviting environment for puppies. Knowing she works from home provided us with extra peace of mind that Banksy was getting constant attention and care. Her years of experience caring for animals truly shone through in her confident and capable approach. We were also incredibly impressed that Kimberly continued Banksy's training and even furthered some of the things we were working on. It was evident that she paid close attention to his needs and was committed to his well-being and development. We were so grateful that Kimberly was available on very short notice when we had unexpected issues with our previous pet sitter. Her flexibility and willingness to help us out were a lifesaver. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving individual to care for your puppy, look no further than Kimberly. She is truly exceptional! Warmly, Banksy, Brian, and Cece”

“Jordan was amazing and so great to our Napa! She not only kept our house spotless but went above and beyond by making homemade treats for our pup. There was plenty of playtime, and we could tell our dog was showered with love and snuggles the entire time. We received many photos and updates while we were gone, it was so comforting knowing our Napa was in such great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Scituate
Every time Patti stays at our place to look after Ollie she finds ways to delight and surprise us upon our return. Her attention to detail and thoughtful gestures are very much appreciated. She always leaves our home looking better than we left it, and Ollie has a growing collection of chew toys! Patti is the best!
We are so happy we found Kayley! She watched our dogs while we were away for the weekend and it was so nice finding someone who we felt comfortable leaving our dogs with. Kayley is super sweet, communicative, and absolutely loves dogs. It felt easy to trust her with our fur babies. We will definitely be using her again 😊
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Scituate is $111 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $167 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.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
