“Bridget was amazing watching our dog Eldrick while we were away! Eldrick clearly had a great time with her and she gave us so many updates / photos of him playing and on walks. He is going through a picky eating phase and she even got him to eat all of his food! Will definitely be booking with Bridget again!”

“Pamela was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch Willie Nelson, and we are so grateful. She arrived right on time, kept us updated throughout, and was so communicative and thoughtful. Willie was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell he was well cared for. We’d book Pamela again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have nine years of experience owning and taking care of an adopted dog. I have about two years of additional experience pet sitting and walking with dogs of all sizes, from young to senior pups, as well as cats. I am a recent college graduate currently job searching, so my schedule is very open at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends for overnight stays or daily check ins. The safety and health of your pets will be my number one priority. I will make sure your pet gets more than enough attention, exercise, and love!

“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”

“We recently went on vacation and had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Hannah with the care of our pup. From start to finish, she provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for in our home. Daily updates, including photos and messages, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of attention. Hannah followed all our instructions perfectly, kept our home neat and tidy, and left everything just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we have already booked with Hannah again for later this month. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further—Hannah is the best!”

About: Hi, I’m Kush! I know that leaving your pet with someone new requires immense trust. For 16 years, I was the proud pet parent to my own beloved dog, navigating everything from playful puppyhood to the deeply sensitive needs of their senior years. This lifelong journey gave me a masterclass in canine care, but more importantly, it taught me how to love a pet like a member of the family. I am incredibly compassionate, deeply caring, and completely selfless when it comes to animals. To be honest, I will gladly put a dog’s comfort and needs before my own—or any other human being's, for that matter! I focus heavily on bringing warm, positive vibes into every interaction to create a completely stress-free, happy, and safe atmosphere for your pup. When your dog is with me, they aren't just being "watched"—I build a genuine bond and treat them exactly like my own child. Because of my extensive 16-year personal history, I am highly experienced in: 💊 Medical Administration: I am completely comfortable and precise with administering daily oral medications, supplements, or managing specific chronic medical routines. 🍳 Custom & Specialized Diets: If your pup requires home-cooked meals, I am well-versed in exact food prep—including boiling fresh chicken, cutting up sweet potatoes, and following strict allergen-free recipes. 🐕 Behavioral Awareness & Connection: While I am not a commercially certified trainer, my years of hands-on experience have made me a keen observer of canine body language. I intuitively know when a dog needs a potty break, a calming presence, or simply an extra round of affection. Whether we are out on a structured neighborhood walk, practicing gentle manners, or enjoying a fresh, warm meal, your dog will receive the exact same fierce dedication, safety, and love that I gave my own companion for nearly two decades. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into my heart! :) I am fully available for weekend house sitting, and I also welcome weekday overnights depending on my current schedule, provided clients can give me at least a 2-day notice to ensure proper planning. A Relationship Built on Trust & Kindness I treat my clients like close friends and family members because I believe in building deep, lasting relationships. Guided by core values of honesty, loyalty, and kindness, I care for your pups with the same gentle devotion that I would give my own child. Your pet gets to stay completely comfortable in their familiar environment, surrounded by dedicated love and attention. Honesty, Rules, and Respect for Your Home I am as honest as they come, and I believe firmly in respecting and abiding by your household rules. I will treat your home with the exact same care and respect as if it were my own. Whatever boundaries, routines, or specific instructions you have, I will strictly follow them to ensure your home remains safe, secure, and exactly how you left it. Rx & Custom Diet Safety Safety is my highest priority, especially for pups with complex needs. I am fully experienced in managing custom diets and administering Rx medications accurately and on time. Because a great partnership relies on absolute transparency, I will keep you connected with honest, frequent updates and photos so you never have to worry.

About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

About: Hey, I’m Jake. I grew up in a house full of dogs, we usually had three at any given time so being around pets is second nature to me. I know how much work goes into keeping dogs happy and healthy, and I get that leaving your pet with someone new (and letting them stay in your home) takes a lot of trust. I'm super easygoing, reliable, and keep my schedule pretty flexible. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs long walks, or a low-key pup who just wants a couch buddy while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to their exact routine. A few things you can count on when booking with me: Overnight Reliability: I treat your house with respect: keeping things clean, following your rules, and making sure your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. Active Care: I'm quick on my feet, great with cleanups, love staying active with pets, and know how to keep an eye out if anything pops up. Regular Updates: I always send photos and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going back home. Shoot me a message if you want to set up a quick Meet & Greet to see if we're a good fit! My schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to build my day around your pet's routine. When I’m house sitting overnight, your pet is my main focus. I stick closely to their usual feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks so their routine doesn't get disrupted while you're away. If you have specific timing preferences for when I should be in the home, just let me know. I’m happy to coordinate around what works best for you and your pet. Trust is everything when you're letting someone stay in your home. I treat every space I stay in with complete respect: keeping things tidy, strictly following all security and house rules, and leaving the place clean. When it comes to safety, I grew up with up to three dogs at a time, so I’m used to anticipating potential risks like double-checking secure gates, staying alert during walks, and keeping an eye on body language. I’m quick on my feet, prompt with cleanups, and handle unexpected situations with a cool head. You'll also get regular photo and video updates so you always have peace of mind.

“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”

About: With over nine years of experience in pet sitting, I have honed my ability to provide outstanding care for animals. I am committed to dedicating the necessary time and patience to any pet that requires additional attention and affection. As a former dog owner, I would be delighted to have the opportunity to care for your beloved furry companion. I have recently made the decision to transition into a career in Real Estate, and I now enjoy a flexible schedule. I am available during the mornings and late afternoons, with full availability on weekends. I offer an open-concept home with ample space for your pet to feel comfortable. Additionally, I have a large, fenced yard that provides plenty of room for your pet to run, play, and explore.

About: I’ve grown up my entire life with animals in my home. My dog, Brio, a husky mix, is wildly energetic outside so I’ve had lots of experience with her. My cat, Pippa, who we got when she was only 6 months old, is truly one of my favorite creatures. I’ve learned how to interact with and understand cats and their quirks. I’ve also done my fair share of dog walking/care as well as cat care. I’ve stayed overnight for week long periods in charge of both cats and dogs as well as keeping the house in order. I feel I bring a very peaceful presence and I hope your animals will quickly feel comfortable with me! I’m currently in school but have flexibility with my schedule. I’m definitely available to house sit, the exact timeframe will just depend on your proximity to my school. I’m able to come by mid-day for a quick visit and have more time after 5pm but I’m willing to try and accommodate any additional needs! I’m not able to take care of your animals in my own home but I am more than happy to house sit for you and follow your animal’s routines. I’m very independent, reliable, and truly love being in the company of animals. I especially adore cats- I’m very much missing my dog and cat back home in Alaska! I plan to keep a record of when I stopped by and what I did as well as keeping you posted with pictures or updates of your pet. Again, I’m very willing to accommodate a lot!

“Mokeisha was an excellent sitter. She was incredibly responsive, and I felt completely confident that my dogs were in great hands while I was away. She checked in throughout the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. With freezing temperatures outside, she was especially attentive to making sure the dogs were safe and comfortable during outdoor time. They were clearly spoiled with attention, cuddles, and treats while in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mokeisha again and absolutely plan to do so.”

We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!

Melisa is an outstanding house sitter as well as cat sitter. This time, Melisa sat for us for a week in July. She was responsible for taking care of our cat, our pool and our plants (indoor and outdoor). Of course everything was well taken care of. The additional thing that I really like about Melisa is that, besides being highly responsible, she is a warm person. It is important that the kitty likes her, but we do too! We have used her before and plan to do so again.

Manal was fantastic!! I have never left my guy with someone who wasn't a family member, but she cat-sat for an entire week and I could not have felt more at ease. She was always in touch, sent me tons of pictures, and kept me updated so that I always felt like I knew what my cat was up to! It felt like she really cared about him and got to know his little personality and all of his quirks, and I could tell from the pictures she sent that he was so happy! I was so stressed leading up to that trip, but all of that immediately disappeared on day one. I can't recommend Manal enough - if you are like me and get nervous leaving your pet with someone else, Manal is your girl! She is gentle, attentive, and caring (all of his care instructions were followed meticulously). Thanks for taking such good care of care of my boy!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We booked very last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible, even with our special requests. She gave us daily updates that truly put our minds at ease, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs. They were treated like family, Charlotte even let them sleep with her! We came home to very happy, well loved pups. We’re so grateful and would 100% book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Randolph

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Randolph is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $128 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 November 2026, there are 6,299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Randolph. 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 Randolph 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 Randolph 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 Randolph 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 Randolph. 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.
