“Jorden is always so responsive! When my return flight was delayed, Jorden went back and fed my guys and walked my dog one more time... so grateful to have such a caring, trustworthy person to watch them!”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
“Julisa was wonderful - she stayed in frequent contact, sent pictures and, when our rascal of a dog breached the fence and ran off, she immediately got on the phone with me and we tracked him down at a neighbor’s house. I know what a terrible feeling that is when watching someone else’s furry babies and Julisa handled it so well.”
“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Amanda was great! She was very responsive and responsible, and even jumped in during a pinch when we needed someone on short notice. Our super anxious pups (including our 85lb boxer) warmed up to her very quickly and we could tell they had a great time when we got home. We will definitely have Amanda back at our home to stay with our fur babies and recommend her for your sitting needs.”
“Misty was great with Teddy and Dora! They quickly warmed up to her and seemed to be very comfortable and well cared for. She took them out for frequent potty breaks as requested and they received their meals and meds on time. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature
“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“I'm so lucky to have found Ami. She was caring, my puppy loves her from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was also very punctual and sent constant updates and great pictures.”
About: I have worked at boarding facilities and doggy day cares for two years and I am very knowledgeable in safe pet care! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born, and my mother is a professional dog trainer so I’ve picked up a lot of dog behavior knowledge along the way. I would love to put my time to use by watching your furry friends!! I will devote every second to giving them all the love they deserve. I am available for full time pet sitting, walks, or drop-ins whenever you need them! In my home we have one pup who is super spoiled. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and give them the love and care they deserve! My experience in professional pet care has provided me with extensive knowledge on pet behavior and needs, so you can trust that your four-legged-friend is safe with me!
“Mackenzie was very attentive to Teddy’s needs and took special care to stick to his routine and adhere to med and meal times. Teddy seemed content and comfortable when we got home. I am sure we will book Mackenzie again in the future.”
“Collin was great with our dog, Remy! He was very nice, professional, and followed all our directions. Remy is 85 pounds of pure muscle and can be a bit rough, especially with pulling on walks, but Collin handled her like a pro from day one. Super responsive and clearly experienced—highly recommend!”
About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.
About: I've worked at a dog daycare for over a year now. I drive dogs home and pet sit as well. Always making sure all the pops get as much play, exercise and love as possible!! I am available any time Monday through Friday after 1pm to take care of your pups. I am available for weekends too! Whatever you need! For pet and house sitting I always make sure the dogs are loved and cared for. I feed them, let them out to use the bathroom, walks, play time, and hangout with them!
About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week! Monday-Friday I am available before 1:00pm and after 10:00pm. Saturdays I am free all day. Sundays I am available before 11:00am and after 8:00pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I can crate the dogs if needed. I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have been tasked as their primary carer frequently. I’ve done plenty of cat and dog sitting for friends and family over the years as well! I’ve worked with elderly animals that require medication, giant dogs like Saint Bernards, and anxious animals. I’m also a plant lover, so I’m happy to water any plant-babies in the home as well. I currently work part-time a few days a week, so I will need to be out of the house for a couple afternoon hours occasionally. Otherwise, I am available to tend to pets in the morning, afternoon before/after work, and before bed. I make sure to wake up early to feed/walk the pets, as well as letting them out before/after I leave for work, and again before bed. I always make time to spend time with the pets and play. If a field trip is possible, I also have a very friendly black lab at home who would love to play in our fenced in yard with your pup!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 806 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phillipston. 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 Phillipston 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 Phillipston 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 Phillipston 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 Phillipston. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
