About: I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. I got my first family dog when I was 7 and my second dog at 13, giving me experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after neighbors' dogs, cared for a friend's dog for over a week while they were on vacation, and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and giving plenty of attention and love to pets. I've also had a cat since I was young and have cared for my neighbor's cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm home and very available throughout the summer, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work part-time only 2–3 days a week for a few hours at a time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and daycare. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard for supervised play and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new friends! I have over 11 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Julia was great taking care of our dog and condo for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept me posted on how Joni was doing, gave her medicine, and left the house clean. She also was great about coordinating her arrival and timing for when I got back. I would definitely have her stay at our house again.”
“Needed a sitter to watch my 5 month old puppy so I could enjoy some alone time on vacation...Olivia was available last minute and super accommodating! Mr. Brady was happily tired out and very content everytime I returned! My only complaint would be that she doesn't live in Worcester so I could hire her all the time :)”
“Shay was absolutely amazing! Not only did she take wonderful care of my dog and cat, but she also stayed in touch and sent pictures so I always knew how they were doing. My normally shy cat absolutely adored her.”
“Sean stayed overnight at our house with our big dog and was great with her. Very responsible and able. He kept everything neat and took her for her long walks that she likes. He sent us photos and notes and questions as needed. He was terrific and I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication (if needed), or just a calm companion, I’m happy to help. I believe in providing updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm currently working 30 hours per week, in short shifts, i'm also a part time student. I have reliable days off and live building routine. I can easily crate and administer medication if needed, i'm able to walk and handle all dogs of varying breeds and behaviors. I love animals so any interaction is a treat!
“We highly recommend Nicole. We had the absolute best experience with her and would 100% book her again. She has SO much dog knowledge and experience, and she knew just what to do to care for our 17.5 year-old geriatric Miniature Dachshund. Our dog was completely comfortable and happy with her, and she brought out the absolute best in our dog with both a stroller and regular walk. I can't rave enough about how happy we were with Nicole.”
“Cyan was wonderfully communicative during our house sitting booking, and shared lots of pictures of our older dog during the visit. We would definitely recommend them for any pet and house sitting opportunities. Thank you!”
“Allaire was wonderful! Communicative and easy to work with. Her beautiful dog Baloo met our boys (1 dog & 1 cat) before the stay and everyone got along beautifully! I'd highly recommend Allaire and can't wait to have her stay with our boys again.”
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm in Vermont and have always had animals around. In high school and college, I volunteered at High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program in Sharon, Vermont and developed a love for horses. Whether it be your cat or your cow, I am excited to meet and care for your animals and home! I am currently job searching as I just finished my master's with Middlebury College, so I have plenty of availability for the summer and possibly beyond. I am comfortable caring for many different kinds of animals and I will closely follow instructions on how you wish your pet to be cared for
“Maria was terrific. She has a sweet, calm manner and handled the responsibilities perfectly. Her dog and my dog were very compatible. Maria sent updates with photos and texts. The house was just as I left it and my dog had clearly been well cared for. Its so reassuring to know, if I have this need again, I now have a great person I feel I can depend on.”
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Ali highly enough! She absolutely saved me when I needed a pet sitter for my energetic Standard Poodle, Hopper, on very short notice. From the beginning, Ali was an excellent communicator and took such a thoughtful approach to getting to know Hopper. He can be a lot of dog, but she quickly learned his favorite games, discovered all of his favorite lounging spots, made sure he got great walks, and kept him happy, comfortable, and loved while I was away. This was the first time anyone outside of my family has ever stayed with Hopper, so I was a little nervous. Ali exceeded every expectation and gave me complete peace of mind. I truly can’t thank her enough. I will absolutely be using Ali’s services again. In fact, she’s given me the confidence to travel more often, knowing Hopper is in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Ali is the one!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sharon on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sharon. 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 Sharon 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 Sharon 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 Sharon 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.
