“Monica was the absolute best in taking care of my and my partner’s dogs while we were away for nine days. We did not worry for a second. Monica kept us well informed and sent photographs of our ‘kids’. Additionally, the house was immaculate when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Samantha was amazing and got me out of a pinch last minute to step in and take care of my pups! She sent so many cute pictures too. I would love for her to stay with my babies again!”
About: A lifelong dog lover, I finally have the freedom to do what I love most: caring for dogs and making sure they have just as much fun as I do. I have 2 dogs so once they are cared for I’m yours and I’ll will be ready to care for yours !! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups b I walk my dogs twice a day I play with them I take care of them when they are sick !! Mostly I give them lots of belly rubs & snuggles
“Elly helped us out in a pinch with our dog, Mike - she came over for a meet and greet prior to and Mike was obviously comfortable with her from the time she walked in. She sent regular photo and text updates and was very clean and conscientious. 100% would recommend Elly for dog and house sitting!”
“Hollyn stayed at our home and watched our boys while we were out of state! We couldn’t be happier with the communication and how responsive she is while we were gone! She’s lovely and we will book with her again”
“We loved having Sophia stay with our pups! We threw a bit of a scheduling curveball her way and she was so thorough in making sure she was there for our girls when they needed her. She kept me updated on all their activities and sent along pictures as well. Would 100% recommend Sophia and will use her again in the future!”
“Alexis did an excellent job with our Wheaten Terrier Harley for a 3-day house sitting job. She watched over our home and pup, took her swimming and walks and kept great communication with us. She was even engaged in a neighborhood situation where someone’s dog got out and she was able to return him to the rightful owner, who we knew. THEY too are extremely grateful. Alexis will certainly be on my top list for future weekend travel plans!!”
“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Heidi had great communication throughout our trip with both daily texts and photos of our fur babies. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our dog and cat for a whole week but Heidi took great care of them and the consistent updates kept my mind at ease!”
About: I have experience working with dogs small-large and have taken ~2 years of dog training classes for my own dog. Experienced dog walker and now available for boarding. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a part‑time student with no outside employment, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each dog I care for. Whether your pet stays in my home or I come to yours, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m already active with my own dog, so incorporating additional walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I have a secure dog run in the yard for outdoor playtime and potty breaks, and I keep an extra crate available if a dog prefers or requires one. Dogs are welcome on the couch, and there are multiple dog beds throughout the house for cozy resting spots. My own dog is well‑trained and friendly with other social dogs, but I can easily separate pets into different areas of the home if that’s the best setup for their comfort. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I treat every pet with the same attention, love, and care I give my own.
“Eron is such an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, was super accommodating of some unexpected work happening at our house (and then left the house in perfect shape), and was so good with our anxious dog. We felt very confident during our week-long trip that our dog was in great hands and would love to work with Eron again in the future!”
“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends for the 5 years. I no longer have my dog so I enjoy watching others. I work remotely so I can stay in your home if that is what is required I work from home, my schedule is Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 4:30 pm. I have breaks and lunch, so I would be available with them all day I would be able to work from your home, so I would be able to take them out or let them out whenever needed. Feed them at their scheduled time.
“Excellent experience! This was the first time leaving our pets, two of them elderly, with someone other than family. We came home to relaxed happy pets! Christin “Sal” checked in with us daily and let us know all was well. I will most certainly use Sal again!!”
About: I have lived my whole life having a dog or a cat. I have also done some pet sitting for friends and family while they are away. I work from 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I work in North Andover, MA the rest of the week so I am only able to stop by before or after work on those days. Should your pet require me to be around during the day, I have the flexibility to work from home any day of the week. My weekends usually consist of being out and about so I would gladly fit your pet in my schedule. At my apartment, I am not able to have dogs but I am allowed to have cats so if you need a dog sitter, I would not be able to house your dog, but I could potentially house your car. I do not have any pets of my own.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sonya provided while we were away! She took amazing care of our dog, giving him lots of love, attention, and exercise, and it was clear he was very comfortable and happy in her hands. Our home was spotless when we returned. Sonya kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is responsible, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime!”
About: I have 3 german shepherds and a 6 month old pitbull at home! I can say I have had my fair share of taking care of pups, young and old! I have the abilities to take care of our senior pup, and train our newest pup (not to mention at the same time!). I currently have a part time job from 3pm-6pm on weekdays! (I will have college classes soon to update) With this, I can do any time from 7am-9pm!! When working with others pets, I always follow what they do! For example, if your pet is typically crated at certain points then I will follow that routine, if not - I would never be opposed to cuddles and hanging with them! I don’t want to mess with a pets routine; you let me know what goes on and I will follow that!
About: I always had a family dog, but since getting my own dog, I've learned how train inside and outside of the house. I love doing activities based on the dogs breed. I have experience house sitting for two senior dogs. I also have experience doing drop-in visits. My current job allows me to accommodate dog visits and dog walks. There is no boarding at my home. I am accommodating, just reach out! I live in an apartment complex that is dog-friendly, and I do a lot of outings with my dog to different parks, trails, etc. The current care I provide for the two senior dogs I visit is feeding, letting them out in the backyard, and administering medicine.

Monica was the absolute best in taking care of my and my partner’s dogs while we were away for nine days. We did not worry for a second. Monica kept us well informed and sent photographs of our ‘kids’. Additionally, the house was immaculate when we returned. Highly recommend.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kirsty! From the very beginning, she put my mind at ease while I was away. Caring for my two large dogs is no small task, but she went above and beyond! Her frequent updates, adorable photos, and attention to every little detail made it clear that my pets were receiving not only excellent care but genuine love and affection. She even won over my cat and bird! Kirsty is thoughtful, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a special connection with animals. I returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets and couldn't be more grateful. I am SO happy to have found her and will absolutely be using her again! I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pembroke is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $111 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 Pembroke 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 Pembroke 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 Pembroke 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
