“Carolina was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates to us and also left our home clean. She will definitely be rebooked by us in the future!”
“We had such a great experience! We were spending the day at Lake Conroe and needed someone we could trust with our little doggies so we could get out and enjoy some activities without worrying about them. She did an amazing job, kept us updated, and most importantly made us feel completely comfortable knowing our babies were being taken care of. That peace of mind meant a lot to us and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our day. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their pets. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guys! 🐾❤️”
“Tammy is a true pet care professional! Not only does she love and connect with your pet, she is mature, experienced, responsible, has great attention to details, does little extras, and most of all she can be trusted! She not only communicated every day with texts and photos and with any questions, but we came home to a clean house, a great report card and fun biscuit recipe, and happy 12-yr old GSD. What piece of mind she gives all the dog moms out there who are far away from home! This is Tammy's passion and it shows. We are so glad we connected with her. You will be, too!”
About: I work at a dog boarding & training facility. I have been the trainer there for 5 years now. I personally have 4 Belgian Malinois & 1 German Shepherd. I’m currently working full time as a dog trainer at a dog boarding facility but I am available any day after 3pm & anytime during the weekends! I always make sure dogs are secure when taking them on walks whether that be their harness or making sure the collar is tight enough that it doesn’t slip off.
“Kathleen was fantastic. My home was immaculate when she left. My dog was very well taken care of. She kept me informed several times a day. She sent photos and videos of the dog during the day and night. I highly recommend her and will use her again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. My last two dogs lived to the wonderful ages of 15 and 16, giving me invaluable insight into every stage of a pet’s life. Working from home allows me to provide constant attention, whether it’s for walks, potty breaks, or just companionship. I’m also highly organized and reliable, with reminders set to ensure medications or special care needs are never missed. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands My flexible schedule is perfect for providing attentive and consistent care. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day and night for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. This also means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby for comfort and supervision. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe and caring hands. I prioritize your pet’s well-being by maintaining a secure environment, by keeping doors and gates locked, monitoring them during walks, or ensuring they stick to their normal routine as best as I can. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and respect as my own.
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
About: Hi there! I've been taking care of animals my entire life. Over the last several years I've gained some clientele and am looking to expand/build on that. I will love your pets as my own and take care of them as if they were my own. I do work a full time job but I work from home on Mondays & Friday’s. Feel free to reach out to ask questions so I can get you scheduled to help you take care of your pet. I don't currently sit in my own home as my pup is a senior citizen and can be a bit grumpy at times. I do however do overnights in my clients homes to take care of your furbabies.
About: Welcome to my profile! I'm Trinity, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. With over 5 years of dog sitting experience, I've had the joy of meeting and caring for countless canine companions. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I've learned to tailor my care to meet the unique needs of each pup. As an animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your dog. Whether it's a quick 30 minute walk or an extended stay, I'm dedicated to giving your dog the attention and love they deserve. My experience includes administering medication, following special diets, and providing extra TLC for dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart?

Your dog's happiness and wellbeing are my top priority, and I promise to provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you're away. Let's get this paw some adventure started! I can't wait to meet your furry friend and give them the love and care they deserve! As a pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine is quite flexible, but here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: *Daily Routine:* - Morning: Check and respond to messages from clients, confirm appointments, and review schedules for the day. - Visits: Spend time with furry friends, following customized care plans, which may include feeding, walking, playtime, medication administration, and lots of love and attention! - Afternoon/Evening: Complete visit reports, update clients on their pet's activities, and share photos (because who doesn't love pet pics?!). - End of Day: Review the next day's schedule, prepare for upcoming visits, and wind down (often with my own furry companion by my side). *Weekly Routine:* - Client Meetings: Schedule meet-and-greets with new clients, discuss their pet's needs, and create personalized care plans. - Pet Care Tasks: Rotate toys, refresh supplies, and perform administrative tasks (like invoicing and bookkeeping). - Ongoing Education: Stay updated on pet care best practices, attend webinars or workshops, and expand my knowledge on animal behavior, health, and wellness. - Self-Care: Make time for activities that help me recharge, like exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family. *Flexibility:* - Last-minute bookings or schedule changes? No problem! I adapt to ensure seamless care for pets. - Unexpected vet visits or emergencies? I'm prepared to handle situations with compassion and professionalism.

About: I have years of experience working with animals through veterinary clinics, animal rescue, and caring for reptiles and other exotic pets! I’m comfortable giving medications, caring for diabetic pets, and providing extra attention to senior dogs. I also offer nail trims, red light laser therapy, and potty breaks every 3 hours. For pups who get a little nervous, I have ThunderShirts available to help them feel more comfortable! Dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home! I always respect your household rules and do my best to keep their routine the same while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I stay at home, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day! I’m also naturally up multiple times during the night, which allows me to check on pets regularly and provide extra care or potty breaks when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay! 🐾❤️ I treat every pet in my care just like one of my own! Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for! 🐾❤️
“We got in touch with Riley after our previously booked sitter had a last minute calendar change and was no longer available. From the get go, Riley was very responsive and attentive. We felt not only our pups were in good hands but our home was too! In addition to multiple daily updates and pictures, she took out the trash, vacuumed and mopped the floors all before we got home! We were so surprised and impressed as we have never had a sitter go the extra mile like that before. We will definitely be using Riley again in the future and will recommend her to anyone else looking for a reputable, responsible and caring pet/home sitter! Thank you, Riley! Spanner and Tiller send their cuddles!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of private commercial kennels and helped with training “challenging” dogs. I enjoy getting to know their different personalities and adjust my care accordingly. Have yet to train any of my fur babies how to make coffee, but I’ll persist! I’m retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available for just one day or whatever the family needs. It’s my pleasure to serve. I will stay with your dog/s the entire booking. They will be my number one priority. It’s best when they can stay in their home.
“I couldn’t be happier with the job that was done for me. From start to finish she was reliable and paid great attention to detail and took exceptional care of my pet. I always leave and return stress free knowing Tamanda is here. Thank you…”
“MVP! There is a reason Amina has so many 5 star reviews and I’m here to add another one. She house sat for me and my two dogs and it was my first time doing this because my Great Dane mix is scared of everything and everyone. She was SO patient with him and moved at his pace and by the end of her stay they were best buds (hugging- I have pics haha!). She was communicative, respectful, and a true professional. I will definitely be using her again for anything I need. Thank you Amina!”
About: I love and appreciate animals from all walks of life, and I prioritize their well-being. I am lucky to have adopted a Shepsky, and I know how important adventures are for him, and I'm here to provide the best care and attention for your animals. Pet care is essential, and I am always readily available. I dedicate time each day to provide consistent walks, feedings, and companionship. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every dog or cat feels cared for, exercised, and comfortable on a reliable routine. I create a safe and loving environment by following each pet’s normal routine and respecting their comfort levels. In my home or a client’s, I make sure food, water, and spaces are secure. I’m attentive to details like gates, leashes, and medications. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Safety and trust come first, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stoneham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 810 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stoneham. 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
