This is our second time having Lauren watch our two dogs. She is a wonderful houseguest. We will definitely reach out again in the future. It's nice to know our dogs are taken care of while we are out of town.

Jacklyn took great care of our two young (3mo and 1.5yr old), energetic pups! She made sure they got the exercise & enrichment they needed, as well as the calm, rest time. She left the house in perfect condition, and we came home to two happy, healthy girls!

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.

Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.

Laura was friendly, flexible with times and very warm with our dog. She played with our dog with dog puzzles on her own initiative and kept us posted with pictures and details throughout the evening. Laura has grown up around animals and is knowledgeable about them. I would certainly ask her to take care of our puppy again.

About: I have experience caring for all animals from their younger years to very senior. I’m comfortable handling an emergency situation if needed. Your pet will always be in safe, loving hands with me. The only day I can’t work is on tuesdays as I go into the office that day. Every other day is fair game! I’m available days or nights as needed. I spent two summers working as a vet tech assistant and learning how to handle emergency situations. Your pet would be in safe loving hands with me.

Peach was absolutely amazing! She brought the kindest, most gentle and warm energy to our home when she came to stay with our pup for a couple of days. She was very communicative throughout the entire duration we were gone, as well as in the days leading up to our trip. I'm not sure what we would have done without here! I would highly recommend Peach for overnight stays with your pup. She's extremely thorough, kind and trustworthy. We'll certainly be reaching out to her for any future stay needs! :)

About: I have two cats, lily and Iris and they are my babies! I also spent a year dog sitting two sweet girl dogs in my neighborhood. I love spending time outside and getting my steps in, so taking dogs on walks is something I really enjoy! I’m a very caring person and understand that not every dog or cat is the same! They all have special quirks and things they enjoy and I love being able to cater to that and make sure they feel happy and safe. I am entering my final year of grad school and am looking to work this summer and sometimes during the year! I work at my internship during Monday’s and Wednesday’s. I am also taking a few online courses, but I am flexible! I can do drop ins a few times throughout the day :) When I’ve dog sat I enjoy mainly to spend the sunny days outside with a fenced yard so that they are free to get fresh air. When inside I like the pet to be in my site range in case they need to go to the bathroom or are about to either eat or get into something they aren’t supposed to. I have taken a cat outside one time and he had been on a leash within a fenced yard. My own two cats are indoor, though when it’s nice I open a window or door that is screened for them to look outside. I do not believe in using spray to punish or train cats. I think electric collars can sometimes help with keeping a dog in the yard but not always necessary. I am very alert on walks and accommodating play time outside with the weather changes.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. My first dog was a German Shepherd when I was 4, 12, and 16. My friends and family have exposed me to a wide variety of dogs. I am always the first in the room to attract a dog and the last to leave its side. Small or big, I know how to leave your dog with a new human friend, happy and tired. I'm more than comfortable checking in and house-sitting with all types of dogs whether it’s a couch companion or a playful friend. I know with my German Shepherd it's always go, go, go so when he sits and naps it's a break for me too. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are leash-trained and dog friendly of all sizes. I just graduated college so I’m spending some time at home for the summer meaning I’m pretty much free whenever outside of committed plans. I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me to figure a time and day out! I know it's difficult to open your home to a stranger, so I'm more than willing to meet or talk on the phone before you trust me with your pet! To ensure the safety of your dog, I need to know of any behavioral or medical issues. Depending on the issue, we can decide if I'm the best match for you and your dog. I know the basic do and donts, red flags, and really good at communication. I’m always patient, loving, and responsible! I understand there may be specific needs, wants, and asks so I’m all ears.

Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of my two Ridgebacks. She came before her scheduled stay to meet the dogs and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She stayed in my house since my older dog needs overnight outdoor breaks. I was tentative having someone I did not know stay at my house and she was great and neat. She was attentive and thoughtful. She kept me up to date of how both pups were doing over the stay and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely have her watch my pups again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rowley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rowley on Rover is $77.7 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 5,620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rowley. 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 Rowley 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 Rowley 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 Rowley 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 Rowley. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
