“Absolutely amazing! Amy house sit our two kitties over a long weekend and did a great job. She treated our babies as her own, kept the house completely spotless, and overall had great communication with us through the whole time we were gone. I couldn't recommend Amy enough!! We will absolutely be booking Amy in the future!”
“Kailey was great! We have a brand new puppy and our older dog injured her paw, so it certainly wasn’t the easiest job but she handled it like a pro. She was communicative and professional.”
“Yas was great! Communicative and responsive, and understanding when there was some miscommunication on our part. Thanks for helping us out when we were in a tight spot after our original dog sitter bailed!”
About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.
“Olivia was very communicative with me throughout the weekend, giving me updates and pictures. She followed and and checked in for any special directions about Gus and Hazel and my house. Gus and Hazel love staying with Olivia. Thank you!”
About: I previously worked for a dog boarding/daycare business where I learned a lot about taking care of dogs and their individual personalities. I also have a lot of experience with working with cats and their individual personalities as well. As a pet parent myself I know how important it is to have someone care for my pets that I can trust, who is responsible and who is reliable and that is why I pride myself on having those qualities when it comes to being a Rover sitter. I have a flexible schedule as I'm currently a stay at home mom. I am available 7 days a week and anytime between 9am-6pm. I do occasionally have to have my infant and 4 year old with me during my drop-ins and walks depending on my husbands work schedule. I always keep dogs on leash unless there is a fenced back yard. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed to ensure your pet does not get loose. I only give food/treats provided by you unless I know your pet has no allergies/restrictions to avoid any allergy or dietary issues. I also make sure to keep the pets area clean such as washing food and water bowls/cleaning the area around litter boxes.
“Made it home--Chase was incredibly calm and relaxed. The house is in great shape. Jared and Tanya, you are both truly wonderful. Thank you so much. When it's a dire, last minute situation like that, I typically just prepare myself to "take what I can get" in regards to quality of sitter. It's been really great having exceptional service despite the frantic circumstances. Cheers!”
About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.
“Emily was great! She watched my dogs for the weekend and made sure they were well taken care of! She let me know when she stopped by and made sure they had plenty of play time, food, water, etc.. if you need a reliable sitter I would highly recommend Emily!”
“Devin did an amazing job! She went over and above what I was expecting, she sent plenty of pictures of the dogs throughout the day and even came over the day before to get an understanding of the house and the dogs. Five stars!!❤️”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly as a puppy sitter! She recently took care of our energetic puppy, Banksy, for 12 days while we were on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Kimberly, we felt completely at ease leaving Banksy in her care. She provided regular text and photo updates, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to – it was so reassuring to see Banksy happy and well-cared for. Kimberly went above and beyond by taking Banksy to dog parks for socialization and exercise, something he thoroughly enjoyed. A huge bonus was that Banksy got to stay with Kimberly's own dog, Henry, who he adored! Not only did Banksy have a buddy to play with, but Henry was also fantastic at teaching him valuable dog manners. Kimberly's home is a safe and inviting environment for puppies. Knowing she works from home provided us with extra peace of mind that Banksy was getting constant attention and care. Her years of experience caring for animals truly shone through in her confident and capable approach. We were also incredibly impressed that Kimberly continued Banksy's training and even furthered some of the things we were working on. It was evident that she paid close attention to his needs and was committed to his well-being and development. We were so grateful that Kimberly was available on very short notice when we had unexpected issues with our previous pet sitter. Her flexibility and willingness to help us out were a lifesaver. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving individual to care for your puppy, look no further than Kimberly. She is truly exceptional! Warmly, Banksy, Brian, and Cece”
“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”
“Madeline was great! Easy to work with and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. She showed up on time to an early sitter request and took great care of our dog. Our puppy even whined at the door when she left.”
About: I treat all dogs as if they’re my own! I have an Aussie Mix and a German Shepherd who love to be outdoors and stay active. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Can be flexible on cost for reoccurring walks/drop ins! I work as a full time medical sales rep which helps me create a flexible work schedule during the week and weekends! I can plan in advance or help out last minute. I have a safely wooded yard on a private quiet road with only 8 homes on the street. We are always outdoors playing fetch and going on walks.
About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision.

Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines.

As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.
“Alison was excellent. Gave frequent updates and went out of her way to help out with pick up and drop off. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be using in the future.”
About: We’ve had dogs in both of our lives forever. Experience with dog walking and sitting for friends, relatives and neighbors. Not only do we know how to take care of dogs, we know how to love dogs. I’m available on weekends and weeknights in the evening, as I’m currently working full time. I’m always happy to be flexible and work around your schedule too! I currently have no other animals, so I have the space to create a safe and warm environment for your pet. Very close to lots of open green spaces for walks and time outside.
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Pond is $70
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Pond
Patricia (aka Laura) did a great job sitting our 4 year old Maltipoo who has separation anxiety. She came for a meet and greet /quick dog walk the day before so he could get to know her. She took pics during her visit, walked him, cuddled and played with him. I would recommend her and will rebook in the future.
I stumbled upon Corey by chance, and I’m so glad I did! He sent me daily updates and pictures of my furry companions, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my two dogs and two cats were in the best of hands. After witnessing the exceptional care Corey provided for my animals, I can’t imagine considering anyone else for my pet care needs. Thank you so much Corey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in South Pond is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $109 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 1,041 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Pond. 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 South Pond 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 South Pond 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 South Pond 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
