“Ashlee is amazing! I was very hesitant on hiring someone that I did not know to watch my five cats while I was away on vacation for an entire week and Ashlee immediately made me feel comfortable from the second I met her. she stayed at my house and sent me pictures on a regular basis and kept me updated. I can home so relaxed and at ease. I would highly recommend her!”

About: i have three cats of my own who i love more than life itself. i grew up taking care of my own dogs, neighborhood and family friends dogs. Ive also had the pleasures to pet sit for multiple families these past years. i plan to provide more than just your typical pet care, i value building relationships, trust and respecting boundaries. i currently work a 32 hour work week, so i have quite a few days completely free. I’m available after 4pm wed-sat, and am available all day and night sun-tues. I am a firm believer in treating other people, their homes, pets, and belongings the same way i would want myself, and my home to be treated.
“Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.”
“Jainah was great with my pup! She was responsive and totally on top of his care, including meds. It was great getting updates while I was out of town and she made sure to keep me informed when she was heading out. Would definitely recommend and use Jainah in the futute!”
“Joey was the best dog sitter I’ve had! One of my dogs got sick and he did all the clean up without complaint. He was really flexible and did a great job caring for my two dogs. I would recommend him to everyone I know and would definitely use him again!”
About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Salina did an amazing job taking care of our almost 14 year old sassy and deaf dachshund Bella. Salina spent the week at our home while we went on vacation, and I cannot express what a wonderful job she did. It's not easy earning Bella's trust, but by the end of the week I believe they were best friends! Lots of cuddles and love! The pictures put my heart at ease, I could tell Bella was being lovingly cared for. Salina had to also deal with a power outage for a day at our complex, and also some technical issues that came afterward, and communication was seamless. Also, our home was spotless on our return! Thanks Salina for everything!”
About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.
“Casey took great care of our dog and home! Our dog seemed very happy and the house was spotless when we returned! We will definitely be asking Casey to take care of her in the future!”
“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.”
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
“Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.”
“Couldn’t be happier with having Cynthia as my dog sitter. Went away for a week and had zero worries in the world! She went above and beyond for my 4 dogs and cat, including taking my cat outside in a backpack. I was sent pictures constantly, communication was always quick, and house was left clean when we got back. I have found my forever dog sitter! I’d rate her a 11/10 if I could”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stoughton
Hannah was fantastic! I knew she would be since I’ve booked with her before. I felt confident that my fur baby was well taken care of while I was away which was confirmed with pictures of cuddles, biscuit making, and the very rare belly rub! I came home to a very happy kitty and my home was nicely taken care of too. Hannah went above and beyond for me too when I realized my flight was coming in late and I’d miss dinner she offered to come back after she was scheduled to leave to ensure my kitty would be taken care of. Thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much peace of mind you’ve given me to enjoy my vacation without worry.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Stoughton is $94 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $113 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.

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.
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 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 , 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.
