“Sandy really liked Jordan. She was very nice and friendly and knew what she was doing. Sent pictures to us and told us how Sandy was doing. Asked questions and answered my questions. We felt comfortable leaving Sandy with her. It was the first time we've ever left her and we would leave her with Jordan again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, routine, and communication are when trusting someone with your pet. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide a calm environment with lots of supervision, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets who may need a little extra care and patience. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide flexible care, frequent potty breaks, supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule works well for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, especially evenings and weekends. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

About: I've experienced with most kind of animals and have a vet technician certificate for both large and small animal. I work with money animals and there's not much that will scare me off <3 I'm fresh out of college and I'm available almost always, I genuinely feel like taking care of animals is a reward rather than a chore, Please tell me even if your creatures are weird little stick bugs, birds Or a kangaroo! For whatever animal you have please inform me in advance of behaviors that I might need to keep an eye on or if they have medical needs or just general needs. If you have a cat who's a Maine Coon that needs a lot of brushing but is sassy when getting brushed I would like to know in advance. I will not discriminate even if your pet may be a bit aggressive to new people I just want to know for everyone's safety going into this and to ensure your pets have the best experience possible. Frequent bathroom breaks are given however if your animal has different dietary needs I would also like to know that. I'm well aware that some animals may not get along with one another while eating even if they get along fine during the day and I am also aware that some may eat non-Stop with food in front of them and for that I would have to limit their food to meal times. Everything I ask is for the welfare of your pets.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for taking care of various kinds of animals, but particularly cats and dogs. I have 10+ years of experience dog and cat sitting for others and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have lots of time to cuddle and play with your pet(s) throughout the day. My work schedule allows for morning, midday and evening walks during the weekdays and full time attention on the weekends! My home has a large fenced in backyard suitable for small, medium, or large dogs. All doors to the outside of the home and gates are kept closed at all time to ensure no one escapes! Pets are given free rein of my home - pets may be easily crated upon request by owner, but is certainly not a requirement.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time nursing student (1 month away from taking my NCLEX) with a lifelong passion for caring for both people and animals. I’m currently working toward my next round of nursing prerequisites, and pet sitting allows me to do something I truly enjoy while helping fund my education. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for three dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, a hamster, and a rat throughout my life. Every one of them has been a beloved member of my family. My current dog has epilepsy, so I understand firsthand the extra attention and consistency that pets with medical conditions need. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those with higher care needs. I’ve administered insulin injections to diabetic dogs and am familiar with many common pet medications, as a lot of them are very similar to human meds(although I do understand that there are many differences) so I’m confident following medication schedules exactly as instructed by your veterinarian. As a nursing student, being attentive, organized, and calm under pressure comes naturally to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with the exception of Tuesdays, when I’m in class from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This schedule allows me to provide reliable care before work, in the afternoons, evenings, overnight, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, dinner visits, medication administration, evening drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. If your pet has a consistent routine or specific medical needs, I’m committed to following their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. If you have any questions about my availability or your pet’s specific needs, I’d be happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m happy to administer medications, provide basic medical care as instructed, prepare meals, refill water, clean up after pets, scoop litter boxes, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I love spending quality time playing, cuddling, and taking dogs on walks or engaging them in activities they enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and needs. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make your time away as comfortable as possible for both you and your furry family member.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Quincy on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 20 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Quincy. 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 Quincy 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 Quincy 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 Quincy 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
