“Alayna was awesome. My Melia girl really took to her very quickly. We got pictures everyday of Melia out in yard, playing with her, out on walks and during snuggles,which is Melias favorite.. Our Melia doesn’t take to new people very easily so it was such a relief to see how much Melia really enjoyed her time with Alayna . She took care of my Melia like she was her own puppy , which everything we could ask for in a dog sitter.”
“Josaphine was a fantastic dogsitter for our anxious, sensitive pitbull. She stayed with Lola during 4th of July week, which can be a lot for anxious dogs. We were so grateful to have Josaphine caring for Lola during this time. She also sent nightly updates and left our house neat and tidy. We will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Ashlee was fantastic! Two of our 3 critters are a little quirky and she did a great job with all of them. Our very nervous cat even made numerous appearances which doesn’t usually happen with sitters! She was super communicative, responsive, and helped our high anxiety pug feel at ease.”
“Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9-month-old boxer, Teddy! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure to keep Teddy on his routine and gave him plenty of playtime. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and Teddy had a great time with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our little boy!!!!”
“Melisa stayed with our two toy poodles all day on Christmas and could not have been nicer. She took great care of them and was so flexible and helpful. I would definitely use Melissa any opportunity we get.”
“Jenie is a rock star! She took phenomenal care of our sheltie Pepper. Super communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She cared for Pepper for eight days and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Jenie has our highest recommendations.”
“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!”
“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”
“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”
“Tina was great! My dog was a bit sick and she took good care of her. Tina is an upbeat person which I think was fun for Ruby! Tina communicates well. I have already booked her again. Highly recommended!”
“Pamela was wonderful! She was professional and provided lots of updates and photos! I truly felt so comfortable with her being with my pup! She even got my shy dude to warm up to her! I cannot recommend Pamela enough!”
“We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!”
“Jeff did a great job with our cat Gretzky. Gretzky is a 20 year old who has some special care needs and Jeff was able to give the cat medicine, feed him his special diet etc. We will definitely hire Jeff again as he is reliable and a good communicator who really likes cats. Highly recommended.”
“Tatsiana stayed at our place for 3 weeks and took wonderful care of our dog and house. She was in regular communication with us and sent photos. She was so reliable and we highly recommend her! - Mehtap & Toygar”

Rylee took amazing care of our two dogs while we were gone. She is responsible, attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for pets. She sent frequent updates and truly kept my mind at ease while we were travelling. Maui and Nala are looking forward to seeing Rylee again!
Benjamin did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd, and we are so grateful. We would absolutely book with him again in the future. He was prompt and responsive. Sent us lots of lovely photos of our dog looking happy and well-taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for better!
Manal was fantastic!! I have never left my guy with someone who wasn't a family member, but she cat-sat for an entire week and I could not have felt more at ease. She was always in touch, sent me tons of pictures, and kept me updated so that I always felt like I knew what my cat was up to! It felt like she really cared about him and got to know his little personality and all of his quirks, and I could tell from the pictures she sent that he was so happy! I was so stressed leading up to that trip, but all of that immediately disappeared on day one. I can't recommend Manal enough - if you are like me and get nervous leaving your pet with someone else, Manal is your girl! She is gentle, attentive, and caring (all of his care instructions were followed meticulously). Thanks for taking such good care of care of my boy!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We booked very last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible, even with our special requests. She gave us daily updates that truly put our minds at ease, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs. They were treated like family, Charlotte even let them sleep with her! We came home to very happy, well loved pups. We’re so grateful and would 100% book with her again.

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 Stoughton 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 Stoughton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stoughton 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.
