“We booked Suzanne last minute to care for our two dogs in our home. Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. She kept us very informed as we had asked for, and we felt confident they were in great hands. We will absolutely use Suzanne when we need care again!”
“Another great job staying with our sweet Lucy! Andrea is so attentive and loving, giving lots of belly rubs :) She even watered my flowers for me this time! Will always ask Andrea to stay when we’re away!”
“Alison was a very attentive and communicative sitter when watching my dog George. He was sick at the time and she very appropriately reached out as needed with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”
“Mara was a great communicator and took great care of our pup while we were gone. She left our house neater than when she got here, even vacuumed and washed the sheets. Above and beyond!”
“Hannah is great! The pups love her. She even cleans up and puts her sheets in the laundry. We will definitely have her back! Thanks Hannah for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Mia did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. She communicated well and sent pictures of our dogs. Our home was clean and everything in its place when we got home. I definitely would have her again to take care of our dogs.”
About: Hi! I recently finished my graduate degree at NEU and I’ve found lately that my time spent with pets and my income are both sorely lacking since moving to Boston, so this app seemed perfect! I currently live with my cat Obi and have raised 2 dogs and 4 cats since I was a kid. I’ve also cleaned up animal poop in every conceivable location known to man so that shouldn’t be a problem. I have experience with handling larger / more “intense” pets (my neighbor’s dog is taller than me when standing up, and my dog Yoshi is a psychopath). I fully understand that sometimes it’s impossible to function as an adult and also give your pet the attention they deserve every day, so I’d be happy to help out when I can! I am always conscious of pet safety and will make sure any harmful materials are locked away, all doors/windows are shut if the pet is indoors, and when walking the pet I always make sure to stick to the sidewalk or trail. My first goal when I visit a pet is to make sure they are comfortable. If they are friendly I will give them attention for a while, but if they are a bit more timid I’ll be quiet and try to not disturb them. Once their well-being is checked I’ll proceed to do whichever tasks the owner has laid out for me (and play with them for a bit more afterwards).
About: I have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.
“Nick did an excellent job as always! We can tell our dog was happy to have him watch, and we know Nick went beyond our asks to keep our dog happy and entertained while we were away. We will absolutely book again!”
“Brittany was great with our babies! One of our dogs has high anxiety and she won her heart over very quickly! Both our dogs require daily medication and she was great with that. It is difficult to find someone with bird experience but she was wonderful with my green cheeked conure as well. She also left our home very tidy when she left. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.
“Nichole did a wonderful job watching our dog Cooper and we've been very satisfied with his care. She spends a lot of time with him, is attentive to his needs, and truly cares for his well-being. Highly recommended.”
About: We have been around dogs our whole lives. Tony and I both have had dogs since we were kids. We now have 3, Togo, Sadie and Louie and they love meeting new friends. We have a fenced in yard so are able to let them out often. We also will take them on walks if they are able. We care for all of our pets by treating them like our human kids and loving on them! We will walk them and give treats if they are able.
About: Hi Im daysha. Growing up I've always had pets growing up from when I was on a farm to when we moved to the citys. I've always had love and care for pets and always wanna provide a safe and protected space for them. I grew up with 3 bunnies 5 dogs and three cats in my life time. I have such a wonderful life to me allowing me to understand people and pets. I'm really open minded and full of communication fun and bubble. Just looking for people I can help out:) I am currently working at the red room down town in Rochester Minnesota. I tend to work from. 5-8 on weekdays and weekends 5-10 but with hosting I tend to get cutt early if it's slow. Im always open to working around other people scheduling but would love a understandment of my schedule too Sadly I do live in a small apartment that doesn't allow me to have pets in and out unless there my own but I am very trustworthy and am very responsible and respectful of other people homes. I was taught growing up to never disrespect other folks homes . I will always follow by the rules and always communicate when something is going on or if I have any questions. I'm here to protect And provide a safe space and comfort for u and your pet
About: I have always loved dogs since I was a kid. I was always reading books and watching tv shows like "Dogs 101" to learn about the different breeds and needs. I would also help out with any family members or family friend's dog(s) that needed watching. Ever since I was 16 years old I have been sitting dogs and every time my parents leave for vacation, I will watch the family dog for as long as they need. I believe dogs deserve the utmost love and care while they owners are away, insuring a happy reunion. I'm currently available all day, everyday. I can visit your pet in the morning, afternoon, and night depending on what fits their care the best. I can provide a safe, comfortable environment as making a dog feel safe and secure in their own home is top priority. I can give baths, give medication orally, play, explore, and love them generously. I will make sure there will be as least of a disturbance possible when I visit clients home, making sure it is the same as when they left. Pets deserve the most love and top care while their owners are away.

We felt so at ease having Jessica house sit and watch our pup while we were away on vacation! She checked in with us daily and sent lots of photos to let us know our little guy was doing just fine without us, which is always such a relief to know while we're away! Thank you Jessica!!! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Salem Corners
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salem Corners. 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 Salem Corners 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 Salem Corners 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 Salem Corners 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.
