“We highly recommend Jenna. She was the perfect sitter for our dog and cat. Phenomenal communication and what’s more, we came home to an immaculate home! We couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Theo did a great job taking care of our pup and house. Got lots of updates and pics over the weekend which kept our minds at ease that he was being well taken care of. Thanks so much Theo!”
“Skylar was the ultimate professional and cared for our babies as if they were her own. She was proactive with communication and left our house spotless. Really could not ask for a better pet sitter.”
“We are very happy with Jacki. This was our second time booking Jacki to dog sit for our two dogs in our home. She loves dogs and treats our two furkids very well. Our beagle Mugsy loves that she let's him lay on her lap while watching TV and our older Shiba Inu Riley Jacki knows needs a little extra care and attention. We highly recommend her and will look to book with her again the next time we plan a trip that we can't take our fuekids with us.”
“Kirsten was fantastic with Izzy! I had to be out of the house for a very long day, and Kirsten was great about coming over to walk Izzy several times and play with her. I really appreciated her communications and I would definitely book with Kirsten again!”
“We couldn't be happier with Stacie's services. She stayed with our dog Bailey while we were away on a 4 day camping trip. She checked-in with us multiple times a day with pictures and notes about how he was doing. When we got home it was evident that he was happy and had a great time with her, and the house was spotless. We could not even tell that anyone was in our house while we were gone.”
“TJ has been excellent with the dogs and was able to pick up a couple of extra shifts. He is very professional and polite and always with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is also very timely and respectful of my home.”
“Wren is phenomenal. He went above and beyond providing care for our dog while we were gone on a family vacation. My dog is visibly sad that Wren is no longer hanging out with him since our return. Wren comes with our highest recommendations- if you are looking for a dependable, experienced and kind hearted care giver for your pet, he is your guy.”
“Carina was amazing! She watched Oliver for the day on super short notice and was so great with him. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Oliver seemed so happy and well taken care of. I would definitely have Carina watch Oliver again and highly recommend her!”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 9 and truly can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with a black lab, Zida, and my family also has Riley, who is now 16 and has given me lots of experience caring for senior dogs and their changing needs. I adopted my own dog, Sarabi, as a puppy almost 6 years ago and spent a lot of time training her and helping her work through shyness, anxiety, and separation anxiety. She’s now my best buddy! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from puppies and high-energy dogs to anxious dogs who need extra patience and seniors who need a little more care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, crates, oral medications, special diets, walks, basic training routines, and lots of playtime and cuddles. The biggest thing for me is meeting each dog where they are. When I meet a new dog, I let them approach me on their terms and never force an interaction. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need time and space, and I’m completely comfortable with both. I want your dog to feel safe and comfortable with me while you’re away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your dog throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m happy to work remotely from your home, so your dog can have company, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends depending on my schedule. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always follow your routines and instructions while in your home. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and boundaries and will never force interaction with a dog who needs time or space. I’m comfortable with crates, feeding schedules, oral medications, special diets, and dogs with anxiety or other individual needs. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“We would highly recommend Jess. She took excellent care of Roxie, our yellow Lab, while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She kept in touch with photos and any questions we had were answered promptly. The house was cleaner than when we left it! Roxie was in wonderful shape and her fur was so soft she must have been brushed daily! We would use her again without reservation.”
“Keirsten did a wonderful job caring for our Golden Retriever and 2 cats while we were away! We returned home to find everyone happy and well cared for, and we were glad to find that Keirsten was extremely respectful of our space and left everything clean, even washing our sheets for us! Thank you!”
About: I’ve pet sit for family and friends over the past four years, with experience ranging from house cats to dogs of all sizes. I love taking dogs on walking trails and tiring them out. I’m responsive to owner’s needs, flexible, communicative, and always prioritize safety. I am currently available to sit for any schedule - days, nights, and weekends. I am happy to travel and open to working last minute needs. Typically, I look to take dogs for longer walks in your neighborhood so they can get their exercise! If your neighborhood is not walkable, I’d ask to drive them to a local hike or walking trail. I’m an avid runner - if your pup likes to run, I’d love to bring them with me.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a dog trainer for a parent, aside from our own dogs, we would have clients’ Dogs stay with us as a kenneling alternative. Im super comfortable around them and can’t wait to fill my house with them one day! I am not in a position to have my own, yet, and this is a wonderful way to get my “fix”... kind of like my nieces and nephews, have fun with them but give them back ;) I would love to take care of your baby and give them love and attention in your absence. I love walking and am active! I’m a full time hairstylist and have a range of availability. Thank you so much!
“Kaitlyn was a great sitter for our Rosie. She even left me notes of the medication times and dates. She was on time and sent photo updates. We will happily rebook Kaitlyn in the future.”
“Ann Marie watched our dog while we were away for the weekend. She checked in with us and sent pictures, and we came home to a very happy pup! Thank you, Ann Marie, we will definitely be giving you a call in the future.”
About: I’ve owned, trained, and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes in my life. Whether it be providing a soft place to land for a shy soul, playing fetch to tire out a ball-crazed pup, or putting together a training schedule for a young pet in need of consistency, I’ve done it all. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and exceed them. Because I limit my client roster to provide the absolute best care, I currently have openings for: • Saturdays, Mondays: Full-day availability (perfect for your weekend day trips!) • Sunday, Tues-Fri: Afternoon blocks My schedule will expand into steady, full-week availability later this fall, so lock in your spot now! I am fully focused on safety, reliability, and giving your dog personalized attention. I will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own, aiming to leave them better than when I got to them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pelham is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $117 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pelham 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 Pelham 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 Pelham 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.
