“Catherine was awesome - we had 3 pups under her watch and all were looked after great (walked, fed, and played with) and had a fun. They were tired when we got back, so we know they enjoyed it!”
“Karissa was an awesome dog sitter and we will definitely reach out to her next time we need a sitter! Karissa had great communication every step of the way from setting up the first meeting, to checking in right before the weekend, to frequent adorable pictures. I could tell Maggie was well taken care of and she kept the house very clean as well. Thanks, Karissa!”
“Fionn was very responsible, friendly and easy to work with. In addition to quickly understanding all involved with house and pet sitting, he asked additional questions that demonstrated just how much he cares about his role and the support he was going to provide us. He sent pictures and updates on all of the things that we had requested of him. My dog (Coa) took to him very quickly and was quite playful with him throughout the 2 weeks we were away. Fionn also took great care of our house, maintaining its neatness and leaving it as he found it. VERY grateful for the care he showed both to Coa and to our home. Coa loves Fionn. We highly recommend Fionn for any level of care -- pet and/or house sitting. thnx”
“Kat is awesome! She was quick to respond to messages and showed our dogs so much love. We got so many adorable pics while we were away. Our 2 pups and our house were clearly in great hands while we were away this weekend. I would recommend Kat to anyone and will definitely book her again. Thank you for being so good to our babies!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!”
“Kristina did a great job housesitting and taking care of my senior dog. She gave me real peace of mind. My dog can be both timid and stubborn and Kristina had a lot of patience with her. Within a few hours my dog was trusting of her which was a great sign. Kristina went above and beyond caring for my dog including the precautions we take with her mobility issues. Kristina provided tons of timely communication with texts and photos. She left my home clean. I’d recommend Kristina to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog with a sitter.”
About: I've been around dogs since I was a toddler and have never met a dog I haven't loved. My parents had two dogs when I was young and we recently had a rescue dog of our own (Gibbs). I miss him dearly but he showed me how much joy and love dogs can bring into our lives and I would appreciate any opportunity to spend time with dogs of any breed and size. I am active and am more than willing to take your dogs on walks or just stay at home and love on them. I will send you updates and pictures of your sweet pup regularly if that's desired. I will care for your dog the way you care for your dog; I know I can't give them the love you provide but I will do my best! I recently graduated college and I am currently working as a Data analyst in Boston. My job allows me to work remotely so I have a more flexible schedule. After work, I usually go on a walk around the neighborhood or drive to a park nearby. When caring for your pet in your home, my focus will be on your animal. I will treat the space with respect as I know how important is it to have someone you trust with your home and with your animal.
“Once again Marilyn has done a superb job staying over and taking care of my cat kids. She does the essentials, of course, but also engages them in a lot play as evidenced by the pictures she sends each day. It is clear that my cats really like her, and Marilyn remains my go-to sitter.”
“Casey took great care of our dog and home! Our dog seemed very happy and the house was spotless when we returned! We will definitely be asking Casey to take care of her in the future!”
“Michael was very punctual, pleasant and relaxed — seemed to “get” my 18-y.o chihuahua right away. This was my first time using Rover, and Michael was a very lucky choice! When I came home several hours later, both man and dog seemed very happy, and my house was in perfect order. Michael was available with less than 24 hours advance notice which was also very wonderful.”
About: I am a young working professional who is super excited to meet your dog! I have a 5-year-old adopted pit bull who is very energetic, and before that I had a small border terrier for 10 years. I have been walking dogs at an animal shelter for 4 years, so I have experience with many types of breeds and sizes. In college, I trained seeing-eye and disability service dogs. I can do short or long walks, or if desired I can run with your pet. I am also very happy to give your dog lots of love for drop in visits! I will make sure your pet has food or water and I can administer medications if needed. I will make sure your dog is as happy as can be while you are away from your home! Most days I am available before 9am, between 12-1pm, and after 5pm. However, I can be flexible depending on the days. I am usually available on weekends. I will follow instructions exactly as they are given and give your pet all the attention he or she needs. When I am with your pet they are my main focus and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
“Nina was amazing with Theo! He’s a little high maintenance right now and she took such great care of him. She treated him as her own and I knew Theo was in great hands while I was gone. I had a few last minute changes and Nina worked with me to accommodate them, so thankful for her! 10/10 will be recommending her and rebooking for any upcoming trips. Thanks again Nina!”
“Erika was wonderful! She house sat for our dog Titan for 10 days and kept us updated each day complete with pictures. Titan has a little separation anxiety, but he really seemed to enjoy cuddling, playing, and walking with her during her stay. We will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter!”
About: I grew up with a Black Lab for over fifteen years and help raise and train a puppy lab that my parents adopted about a year after losing the first lab. I moved out of my parents house and am looking to help out with someone’s dog/dogs closer to my apartment! I work a flexible hybrid job which is in office Tuesdays and Fridays but am still able to do a visits on those days before and after going to the office. The rest of the days I can do visits pretty much any time of day. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I strictly follow all entry, locking, and security guidelines. During visits or stays, I maintain your pet's established routine, keep them on a secure leash during walks, and ensure they stay away from hazards. I will keep your home clean and give your dog undivided attention and care.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Quincy is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Quincy
Erin is always great to have watch our pup. She takes him on frequent walks, plays fetch, and gives him so much attention. I think he looks forward to when we leave town. She also keeps the house in great shape, cleans up and was able to fix a dead smoke detector without asking. She is our go-to sitter whenever we need one.
This was my first time using an in-home pet sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made the entire experience easy and stress-free! She took wonderful care of the dogs, kept me comfortable with the process, and even went above and beyond by resetting the sheets for me since I had a friend arriving before I got home. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️
Alyssa was the best! We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Alyssa was responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. We always felt completely at ease knowing our dog Tony was in such good hands. We would highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out for future dates :)
Cortney and Corey were amazing! I couldn’t have asked for better people to leave with our pets! They were so warm and attentive to their needs and made us feel very reassured that they were in good hands with daily updates and pictures. I would recommend them over and over again and I’m sure my dogs will be pleased to have them back to watch them in the future!
Janiya was so great with my senior cat! My cat gets medication 2x a day, and Janiya was great about giving it to her and providing me with regular updates and pictures. My cat can be slow to warm up to people, but she was sharing the bed with Janiya on the first night, which made me feel really great. I would and have already booked her for another in-home sitting.
Okay - how about something like this: We’ve had Gabriella stay at our place a couple times to take care of our dog, Holly, while we have been out of town. Gabriella has been wonderful each time and has such patience when dealing with a senior dog. She arrives on time and communicates throughout her stay with pictures and other updates. When we got home this past Sunday, Holly had a calmness that showed she had been well taken care of!
Communication is such a critical element of a successful “sitting” and Leo’s approach is a prime example of a five-star experience. Leo watched my “fur babies” overnight. There was never a time that I wondered how things were going, and if Leo had a question or observation to share, he was quick to reach out. I highly recommend Leo - in fact we have already booked him again!
Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.
Christine was amazing with our two dogs! They absolutely loved her. She walked them twice a day, gave them tons of love and attention and play, and was so communicative with us - sending us incredible pictures too! She even washed our sheets and towels she used, which was an added bonus we didn’t expect! Thank you so much Christine! We will be using you again!!
River was able to come and watch our dog for just the evening on semi short notice after he was recovering from surgery. As always she was prompt, communicative and dependable! Wally was so excited to see her and was snuggled up with her all night. Will always recommend her services to anyone looking to hire her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Quincy is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $108 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 6,241 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Quincy. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
