“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”

About: I grew up with three dogs, have dog-sat for neighbors, and lived with a cat that I helped care for. I am very energetic and I have cared for puppies and both large and small dogs. I have a full time job with some flexibility, so I am free most evenings/nights and all of Saturday. My Sunday availability is in the morning to mid-day. I am happy to play with and entertain pets, and follow your instructions on feeding, walks, and house rules. I have had an anxious dog, so I want to make sure your pet is comfortable.
“Linh is fantastic! She house sat for our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. I'm usually nervous about leaving our pups with a new sitter, especially after we had a bad experience with one (not thru Rover) a few years back. But Linh's knowledge and calm, confident demeanor instilled confidence in me so I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent updates and frequent photos throughout the week. Not only did she leave our house the way we left it, but she washed all of the sheets and towels which was not expected but very much appreciated. We will be using her again for our next vacation and I know the pups will be excited to see her again!”

“Julie did a great job with my three dogs, who are a handful (90 pound reactive elderly Shepard, 80 pound willful Golden, and 11 pound Chihuahua mix who can be stubborn on walks). We worked together beforehand to talk about what would work best both for the dogs and for Julie so that she was set up for success. We did a few walks together and then she did a few on her own before our travel dates, which made me, and more importantly, the dogs, feel really comfortable with her. She was wonderful about giving updates including pictures, and overall communicated perfectly. She took great care of my dogs and seemed very confident about handling them. I am thrilled to have someone on hand who can take care of my pack when I am away. I highly recommend Julie for taking care of your pets. She also took care of my parent's elderly cat during the same time period and did a great job on that, too.”


About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog handler dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. Backed by professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on their normal schedule. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of photo check-ins. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of our dog while we were at my daughter's graduation. We didn't have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Thanks, Rachel!”


About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
About: I am a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter who understands how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet and respect your home. I have experience helping care for dogs belonging to family and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and following their regular routines. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, habits, and individual needs. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner and pay close attention to safety during walks, meals, and time inside the home. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, organized, punctual, and attentive to detail. I provide regular photos and updates so owners can feel comfortable and informed while their dog is in my care. My goal is to offer warm, reliable, and personalized care while helping every dog feel safe and comfortable. I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in Wayland, MA and nearby areas. My schedule allows me to provide dependable morning, midday, and afternoon care, depending on the client’s location and the pet’s routine. I value punctuality and clear communication, and I carefully manage my calendar so every pet receives the time and attention they need. I provide care in the client’s home and always respect the dog’s established routine and the owner’s instructions. Before each booking, I make sure I understand feeding schedules, walking habits, temperament, medical needs, emergency contacts, and any situations that should be avoided. I carefully check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and I send regular photos and updates so owners feel informed and confident while their dog is in my care.
“Marlin stayed with Alyssa for the weekend and had such a good time! She sent multiple photos during his stay and took great care of him. Would definitely book again with her again. Thank you!”

About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.
“Kerri is a straightforward communicator and very approachable, always willing to go the extra mile. Her professionalism inspired trust and peace of mind, so I asked Kerri if she would take care of Milo for almost another month, and she did. I was happy and relaxed because I knew Kerri was taking care of my house and Milo. Kerri is awesome!!!!”

“We're so glad we found Annie! She is caring, mature, and intelligent. I would use her again in a second. Our orange cat loves everyone but our senior dog is wary of new people. After two introductory appointments/interviews, it was clear to us that she was a good fit. We were gone for 7 nights and by the end of the week, our dog was sleeping in with her! Annie was responsive to any questions we asked during the week, and sent us updates with pictures. On top of all that, she watered our plants and left our home spotless. 5 STARS!!!!”

“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”

“Traci did an AMAZING job with our elderly girl. She left the house neat and our girl was happy. My family feels much more comfortable going away knowing Traci will be there to watch our girl.”

“Melissa took very good care of Louie - sleeping and just hanging out with him. He seemed quite content and calm when I returned. The house looked in great shape when I returned. I would recommend her highly.”

“Jackie was absolutely amazing, I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. We have two Siberian Huskies that can be a handful, but she handled them with such ease. Jackie was communicative and sent enough pictures and updates where we felt comfortable and informed, but gave us enough space where we weren’t bombarded about the dogs the whole time we were away. I honestly didn’t worry about my dogs for even a minute from the moment we left, which is a first for me. We came home to two tired pups and a super clean house! I’d highly recommend Jackie to anyone I know.”


“Laura is an excellent pet sitter. She is so patient even with my extremely temperamental Westie who needs lots of extra care. I was so nervous because most sitters have told me they can’t handle Daisy and don’t see her sweet personality but Laura made it so easy. She was patient and kind to her and they were friends by the time I got home. She administered medication, was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures, and she took great care of the house. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sudbury
Diana took great care of Ace and spent plenty of quality time with him. She followed our lengthy instructions for his care in our house, making it easier for him to be in his own enviroment while we were away. He was spoiled with toys and attention and treats. Diana sent pictures of Ace which I loved! I can’t say enough great things about how highly we think of her and how well she took care of our Ace! She also left the house in better shape I think than when we had left! She’s respectful of your home and can follow instructions and has her own dog therefore knows how to care for a dog very well. A bonus for us is that she also has a Rottweiler so she was exceptional with Ace!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sudbury on Rover is $55.5 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 6,985 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sudbury. 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 Sudbury 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 Sudbury 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 Sudbury 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.
