“Kamryn took good care of my dog while I was away. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and everything went smoothly. I appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing my dog was being looked after. I would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog sitter.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, playing, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 2 years old and have always had a spot in my heart for animals ! I’m currently working only 1 day at my job due to me going take to college to build my career. I have 3 cats of my own and 1 dog every morning i wake up at 6:30 and feed them and take my dog out for a walk. I play with them before I head to school at 9am, after school I take my dog to a dog park and let her play with other dogs I provide dogs with a safe, clean, and loving home environment, giving them attention, supervision, comfort, and care while respecting their routines. I have a big space to play and care for pets.
About: I’ve had welcomed my first pet ever when I was 10 years old , then in 2012 I’ve have welcome another fur baby to the family . Being around my own personal pets made me love doing dog sitting a lot more so starting in 2013 I’ve decided to volunteer and also become employed with the services of onboarding , dog walking , etc . I love doing my job when it comes to pets because I think of them as my own. I am currently working Monday - Friday but my schedule is also very flexible. I am free on the weekends if services are needed as well. When caring for your pets in your home or my home they are well taken care of between any medications, a routine that they follow I will make sure that while your away they will be left in great hands .
“Kimberly was great! She stayed over our house during Christmas Eve and Christmas and sent photos throughout her stay. Our place was left very clean and our dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats (and a few fish, turtles, a bunny, two goats...) have volunteered to care for dogs, and have pet-sitted for a few friends! I love every furry (or even non-furry!) being, big or small. My family currently has 4 dogs, and while I was back for college when we first got Tommy, our oldest, I would take care of him every day, playing around and feeding him as a small puppy, as my mom left for work and errands. Our dogs are now grown, and it's been beautiful being able to spend time and play with them. I have taken care of cats as well, especially my friend's, and I take being safe, precise, and clean seriously! I currently have a part-time job and several events going on, so I will try to keep my calendar as up to date as possible, but my schedule will change weekly. I typically should be available after 6:30 PM on days that I work, but please feel free to check with me for availability! I would also be happy to stay with a pet for an extended time. Unfortunately, my car is not very economical, so I do have to take distance into account. Unfortunately, I cannot host any pets as I don't yet have a place of my own. However, I am perfectly comfortable with visiting and staying with pets over extended lengths of time! I like to keep a close watch, play, and cuddle, but I also respect any pet that needs their space or alone time. Pets, especially dogs, feel like small children to me, and I take their well-being seriously.
“Kevin is a fantastic sitter! Great communication and he took great care of our four dogs and our home while we were away overnight. We look forward to working with him again.”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.
About: I have taken care of animals since i was in middle school. I have a dog and cat of my own and i love them so much. Seeing them satisfied throughout the day and loving them is the best feeling I’m currently going to college monday- Thursday. However i have a lot of free time so my schedule will be flexible. I enjoy animals! My house if full of love having 3 siblings that all adore animals as we already have 2. And we all walk our dog and feed them whenever is needed- No arguments there- we make sure our dog is full!!
“Rosa stayed overnight with our cat and dog - she was very trustworthy and reliable. Our dog got sick and Rosa took such great care of her and of our home when it happened. She kept us updated frequently with information on how the dog was doing. Thanks Rosa!”
About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.
“Dariani watched my dog for the first time, and everything went great! He had so much fun playing with her dogs, and she kept me updated by sending photos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!❣️🥰”
About: I just have an intense love for all animals and think they are all angels. If I had more self-control, I'd be vegan. I am open to taking care of any animals but mainly have experience with dogs and cats. I'm still looking for full-time work so currently, I have an open schedule. I would prefer to work Mon-Fri. I am open to discussing weekend availability. I would prefer to take care of the pet in the client's home, because I have pets of my own. My pets are both pretty unique, so it would be more efficient to do it in a space that's familiar to the pet.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was about 14. Cats, dogs, birds, and fish included! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a natural love and empathy for all kinds of animals. They still bring me the same amount of joy today, and always will :). At the moment, I have a dog and a chinchilla whom I adore, and taking care of any additional pets will only add on to my joy. At the moment, I am studying from home so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I would be available for both weekdays and weekends! I have a very friendly dog at home that will keep your pet company if they need a companion. Everyone at home is also an animal lover, so your pet will be in great hands!

“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”
About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed! I’m currently in college full time, with Mondays and Wednesday’s being my most unavailable days. Tuesday,Thursday,Friday, and weekends are my best days. I have classes Tues-Thurs from 10:45-12pm, and periodically have classes on Thursday from 3:05 to 5:45. This is my last semester, so I will be graduating soon. We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pelham is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pelham
Lori was very attentive and communicative when taking care of my dog, Pepper. I was away for a whole week and Lori always kept me updated on Pepper. Pepper has a heart condition and requires medication every 12 hours and Lori was able to successfully administer her medication when needed. Lori stayed in my home with Pepper and was very respectful of my space and left it in wonderful condition as well! Thank you Lori :)
Nora was incredible when she stayed with our little dog, Fennec, for two weeks. She was so patient and understanding of his separation anxiety and really went above and beyond to build trust with him and help him feel comfortable. She also calmed our anxieties as nervous pet parents who felt guilty about leaving our baby behind! She sent us daily updates (often more than once per day), and it quickly became clear that our little guy loved being with her. She also took great care of our home — pretty sure she left it cleaner than we did! Can’t recommend Nora enough. We feel so so so lucky to have found her!!!
Rochelle was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She came by before the sitting to meet us, get familiar with our pets, and learn her way around the house. Since we weren’t home, we arranged her arrival in advance, and everything worked perfectly. She was completely comfortable finding her way around the house and handled all of our pets with confidence and care. It was clear from the start that Rochelle is responsible, professional, and genuinely loves animals. She took excellent care of our pets, kept everything in order, and somehow even left the house looking nicer than when she arrived! We can highly recommend Rochelle. Her friendly nature, professionalism, reliability, and the wonderful care she gave our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely have her sit for us again!
Natalie was wonderful! I left Piper with her for the day and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was so kind, punctual, and incredibly helpful when I was in a last-minute bind. She responded quickly, even came to pick Piper up and drop her back off at my house, and kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos. I felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in such good hands. 10/10 would recommend Natalie, and I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind for future sittings!
Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.
Karen was fantastic! She took great care of our 4-year old mini Goldendoodle for two weeks with tremendous patience and insight. He’s not the easiest dog, and Karen was very good with him and sensitive to his reoccurring IVDD. As a dog trainer, she worked on his commands and we have noticed an improvement in his behavior. She showed us the strategies she uses to help with his reactivity as well as his resource guarding. She truly cared about our dog. We hope to use Karen again in the future to take care of our pooch. I highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter and trainer!
Christian was great with our pup! He stayed with her for most of the time we we're gone and was really flexible with the arrangements. He came by a week prior to get to know our dog and understand her routines. Our dog immediately liked him and felt comfortable around him which was a great sign. While he was watching her, Christian walked her and kept her company. He provided periodic updates with photos and we felt comfortable knowing he was there with her. Thank you Christian!
Kameryn is wonderful, the whole package - responsible, professional, caring, and thorough. I trust her completely. Our senior dog was a few weeks posh orthopedic surgery. Though fully healed, he’s still not back to his normal self 100% so needless to say we were nervous to leave him on our already planned vacation. Kameryn’s care allowed us to enjoy our time away- navigating his “special needs” and instructions, meds, and even a broken toe nail that occurred (bloody mess!)— all seamlessly. She not only followed all our instructions but also intelligently problem solved when needed. Kameryn sent daily updates and kept us well informed. Like many, our dog is our first baby and growing old— it made me anxious to leave him but I didn’t worry because he was in such good hands. I highly recommend and will be using Kameryn again!
Melisa was an amazing dog and house sitter! Frankie loved her and felt comfortable with her immediately. She communicated consistently, letting me know when she walked Frankie, that he did his business, and that he ate. She even sent adorable photos of him cuddling with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. Melisa left my house absolutely impeccable, watered my plants, and brought in my packages as well. I’m so excited to have found such a caring and responsible person, and I will definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pelham is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $78 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.
As of October 2026, there are 18,949 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pelham. 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 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.
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 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.
