“Breanna was a huge help! She was able to accommodate me last minute as my sitter for the week fell thru. Communication was quick and easy, and her daily updates with pictures assured me that my pets were in great hands. My dog and 2 cats loved their time with her, and I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pets!”
“Nicole did an excellent job watching our dog, Hazel, overnight. We were very pleased with her care and professionalism. She arrived on time, communicated with us throughout her stay with Hazel and sent pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Hazel was well cared for and comfortable, and we truly appreciated Nicole's reliability and attention to detail. We are so happy to have found Nicole and will definitely have her watch Hazel again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Carley was fantastic and took such good care of our dogs and cats. She sent the sweetest pictures while we were gone and knew they were in the best care while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Amy took very good care of my two cats. She sends pictures to me everyday which is a blessing, knowing that the kitties are doing good. She is very responsive and easy to communicate. Would recommend to everyone in need a kitty friend.”
“Anna was great with meeting cashew and asked great questions. She took very care of our pup and our home. I would definitely recommend and hope to have Anna watch our doggo again in the future.”
“Jaimie was great with our dog (50 lb lab mix)! Jaimie made time to meet us beforehand to get acquainted with our dog and sent updates and pictures while we were away. Would highly recommend, thanks Jaimie!”
“Julie is THE VERY BEST! We have three older dogs who can be challenging. She gave them such loving attention and care. Julie always kept us abreast of their status with updates and photos. When we got home, our dogs were happy to see us, but they didn’t seem as jubilant as they normally do. THAT’S A TESTAMENT to Julie. THEY LOVED HER!!! And that’s what every family should want for their pups. Have no reservations about hiring Julie. We will be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Julie!”
“Paulina was a great sitter to our Bella. She was super professional and made sure to ask all the questions she needed to know in order to take care of our puppy. Correspondence was great throughout the night, she sent us updates with pictures which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Paulina 😊!”
“As always, Haley did everything asked of her and more. She provided tons of photos, updates, and even gave Sally a bath after she went for a little swim in the woods! Sally seemed very fulfilled once I got home and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Haley!”
“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
About: I have two cats and grew up with dogs. Love caring for fur babies and everything in between. I have been a cat mom for 4 years now. Love my two cats. I work full time Monday-Friday 9-5 and full time availability on weekends. Also have flexibility during the week. Excited to get started and work with your fur bub! I am very attentive and loving. Provide my cats with tons of lovings and treats. Play time is a must! Also make time for photos and videos for memories.
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
About: As a child, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. As an adult, I have vast experience caring for animals. For 25 years, I did pet sitting and house sitting in the Boston area before moving to Puerto Rico 13 years ago. The first month I lived there, I found a box of kittens in the road. I have been a rescuer since, being one of few who take on the most challenging cases. I have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs and cats over the years and I have seen it all. Nothing intimidates me or grosses me out. I will give baths, dispense medications, clean up accidents, whatever is needed. I am 58 years old and am very reliable and trustworthy. I am 58 years old and do not work anymore so my availability is wide open. I do sometimes go to Puerto Rico where I am in the process of selling my home but the dates for those trips are flexible. I generally find that caring for pets in their own home is ideal as they really do appreciate routine, stability, and a familiar environment. However, I am certainly willing to care for them in my home as well and offer a fully fenced in back yard for dogs. There is an 11 lb dog at my house but he is used to cats and dogs coming and going so he should not pose a problem (or I can separate them, if preferred). In terms of routine, I am willing to adapt to whatever you have established and have no problem with giving medications, baths, or any other special care needed. With 13 years of rescuing in Puerto Rico and 25 years of pet care before that, I have seen it all (and nothing grosses me out!). If you like frequent updates and photos, no problem. If you like to relax and not think about home when you are away, no problem. Your beloved pets are in safe, loving hands.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I am a huge animal person. I've taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love getting to know new pets and their unique personalities! I work during the evenings from 2:45-11pm so I have time during the mornings and afternoons. My days off are Friday and Saturday so I have more availability then. I can walk your dog, play fetch, take them to the dog park or anything your dog loves to do. I take my dogs walking or hiking on a daily basis, and they love to swim.

Nicole took such great care of our two pups in our home ! She is truly an animal lover, was super responsive and professional and sent lots of updates and videos throughout the week. It was so great to know our dogs (and our home!) were in such great hands while we were on vacation. We would highly recommend Nicole!
Bianca was wonderful! She took great care Penny and went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and well taken care of while we were away. She was super helpful and accommodating when our flight home was rescheduled. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her watch Penny in the future!
We booked Sierra to stay with our two rescue pups while we traveled out of the country. We had never left them with non family prior to this. Sierra did a wonderful job. She came and met the boys ahead of time and put us at ease that she would be more than capable of handling the job. She was very present during the sit and very communicative. As a vet student, she gave us great advice and feedback regarding behavior and possible allergies. She sent lots of pictures and the dogs were happy and very well taken care of. We live in an old house and Sierra had a few hiccups but she dealt with them very well and didnt let it interfere with our trip. We would love to use Sierra again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northbridge on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,070 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northbridge. 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 Northbridge 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 Northbridge 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 Northbridge 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northbridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
