“Wanted to follow up with a feedback regarding Jorden pet sitting,. Like many others looking for a reliable and affordable pet sitter I came across Jordan's profile. Jorden has been exactly what we're looking for. Jordan has earned our respect and Jorden has made it easy to communicate with. Which is why we're trusting jorden with our pets.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone other than family. I found Rover while looking for a place to board her. I was able to find and interview potential sitters. Callie stood out to me as when she come over for the interview she had treats with her and my dog fell in love with her instantly! Although it was difficult for me to leave my dog I felt the love Callie had for dogs and it put my mind at ease. She took many pictures of my baby to show she was fine. She took her for a nice long walk which I know Coco loved. I couldn’t be happier!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 7 years old at my grandmothers dog grooming salon. I’ve always loved both dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt a connection to them. I have a 12 year old dog and just recently lost my 18 year old cat. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily. On days that I’m working I have plenty of time to walk my dog and feed her in the morning, and once I get out of work i have just enough time to do a walk and feed her! On my days off I tend to spend as much time with my pets as possible, wether is playing, walking, or cuddling! I care for my pets at home by spending quality time with them. My dog loves walks, playing with toys, doing tricks for treats, and cuddling. My cat enjoys lounging with me some days, but he isn’t very playful.
“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”
“We two humans, along with Felix-the Dog, all feel like we made a new friend in Kathleen! Felix, who is not always sure about new people he meets, immediately took to Kathleen when she came to our home for a meet-and-greet. Kathleen sensed Felix’s apprehension and quickly put him at ease with her calm, affectionate, low-key response. On the basis of our visit, we mutually agreed to have Kathleen stay with Felix a few days later while we enjoyed a quick 24-hour getaway. While we were away, we had good, clear communication by text message. Although we were delayed getting home, Kathleen volunteered to stay until we returned so she could give us a verbal report, which we appreciated very much. When she left, Felix’s dejected body-language showed he was sad to see her go; clearly he had enjoyed her company. We look forward with confidence to having Kathleen stay with Felix again.”
About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!

“Michael was great. He came over to meet the dogs a few days before we went away and they hit it off. He was always on time and took great care of the dogs. He was also quick to respond to messages. We highly recommend him to take care of your fur family.”
“Lauren is amazing! So grateful to have connected with her to take care of our dog. She is communicative, attentive, and caring. We got pics of our pet with each visit, and she kept on top of any concerns. Would definitely book with Lauren again, she's a pro with pets and very easy to work with!”

“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 grew up with 5 dogs, 2 large and 3 small. I went through professional training with both large dogs. Also have had many dogs since and have been pet sitting for years! I have a flexible work schedule. I can work from home whenever necessary and my job does not require a lot of meetings for periods of time, so I would be attentive. I provide long walks as I go on runs and walks myself everyday. I can provide light training and will always follow your personal rules you have with your pets.
“So grateful to Dina & Jason for their attentive care to our pups, kittens, and home! Fantastic communication and professionalism; we felt so at ease while we were away, and that’s worth every penny. They really did their best to study our instructions beforehand and follow them to the letter. And best of all, they put our anxious pups at ease more than anyone else who’s been in our home. Thank you, Dina & Jason!!”

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.

The average cost of House Sitting in Peterborough is $16 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 per night.

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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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.
