“Marie was an excellent catsitter and housesitter. She was patient with our precious boy R2-D2 and left the house as she found it. She communicated well and responded to messages quickly. Marie is a great choice to care for your pet!”

“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

“Rayna was great to work with as she took care of our little pup Ollie! She was an amazing communicator, sent regular pictures, took Ollie on good walks and took great care of our house. We would be lucky to work with her again!”

“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”

About: Ive been taking care of my own pets as long as Ive been able, and began pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for others in high school during 2022. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying ages (puppies/kittens-elderly pets) and needs (illnesses and disabilities), as well as more exotic pets like lizards, birds, rodents, and aquatic animals like fish, turtles, and axolotls. I’ve administered medications for dogs, but do not have experience with needles. I’ve spent up to a week taking care of several animals at a time, as well as short periods like nights and checking in daily. I will do all I can to provide your pet and home with the care they need! I’m currently in college, but primarily online, so my school schedule is flexible with your needs! I am not working outside of pet care so I am not tied down to other responsibilities and provide the time needed to care for your pets. I’ve lived with pets my whole life, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable paying attention to a pet’s behavior and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and secure. I’ll also treat your home with respect, double-check doors and gates, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for while you’re away.
“We are so grateful that Jen cared for our dog Rhea during our recent trip. She spent a lot of time during the meet and greet getting to know us and our dog, and even came on a short walk with us to see how Rhea did on her leash. She was adaptable to her unique needs including Rheas health conditions and medications. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!”

“Emma was so great with our cat, Finn! She communicated well (and sent pictures!) while we were away. She even brought in our mail and fed our fish which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again if we’re in need of another sitter!”

“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”

“I have no words for how grateful I am to have connected with Holly on Rover! My babies were so well taken care of, got so much attention, and I was confident they were in the BEST hands. My pups are pretty well behaved, but having 3 dogs (60-70 lb each) between the ages of 1-2, they have a lot of puppy energy and mischievous moments! Holly is a pro and it was such a relief that I had a trusted sitter who understands how important our fur babies are. Thank you Holly…we will definitely see you again!!!”

About: I have 1 year of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs and other pets with many different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, cuddling, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine comfortable and familiar while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and keep pets supervised, secure, and away from anything unsafe. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and individual personalities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own.

About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!
“Tatiana came in and house sat for us on very short notice when some other plans fell through. We got constant updates while on a trip, she took care of our home, and we felt at ease the whole time she was watching the dogs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing house sitting/drop in services and will definitely have her watch the dogs again!”

“Daniela was an amazing sitter for Frankie while we were away. She gave her lots of attention and sent us plenty of updates to let us know how they were doing. Will be working with her again in the future!”

“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”

About: Hi there! I’m Alana – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged friends. I’ve never lived in a home without a dog. My very first pup joined our family when I was just five years old, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising and loving many wonderful pets. My fur baby, Luna, has been by my side for 16 years since she was just six weeks old – she’s my heart and soul! She recently passed away and it’s left my home feeling very empty which is why pet sitting will bring me joy. I also foster dogs from time to time that need a loving home until they find their forever family. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs (and other pets!) while their humans are away. It comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love it. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your dog the attention, companionship, and TLC they deserve throughout the day. What sets me apart? Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities A calm, pet-loving home environment with plenty of affection Daily availability and flexible scheduling A genuine passion for treating your pet like family Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just needs some company while you’re gone, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your fur baby! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, care, and attention. your pet will always have a calm, watchful presence nearby. We also have a gentle four-year-old daughter who adores animals and is used to being around dogs, especially our own sweet senior pup. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where they’ll never feel lonely. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home. Dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture — snuggles on the couch are encouraged here! I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for running, playing, and enjoying fresh air in a secure space. I also live just a short walk from a quiet park, ideal for safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level. Your pup will never be alone — I’m home during the day, and my husband works from home too. That means there’s always someone around to provide attention, belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m attentive to your dog’s needs, routines, and personality — whether they’re active and playful or a laid-back lounger. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferences to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be loved, watched over, and cared for like one of our own — because that’s exactly how I treat them.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
