“Our dogs love when Eko and Sarah watch them and we enjoy getting the pictures and updates of our dogs happiness while we are away. They do a great job taking care of our dogs and their needs, their attitudes, their demands, their personalities, hanging out with them and spending time with them. We all love them and are glad when they are available to book!”
“Carley was fantastic and took such good care of our dogs and cats. She sent the sweetest pictures while we were gone and knew they were in the best care while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
About: Hello and thank you so much for your interest in my pet care services! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, including elderly and special needs dogs, as well as cats, and occasional feathered and aquatic friends! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. ❤️ • I absolutely love animals, and have over 8 years of professional pet care experience, both in a Veterinary Hospital and doggy daycare, boarding and grooming facility, as well as working alongside a top rated team of professional dog walkers in Central MA. Working independently allows me to give your pets the extra love and attention they deserve, without the rush, and added treats! :) • I am both Pet First Aid and CPR certified through Four Footed Family Pet First Aid & CPR. • Ready to give some extra love to your furry friends? Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! • *Please allow me 24 hours to respond to your request, between the hours of 9am - 3pm, Monday - Thursday. I am currently available for morning, midday and evening drop-in/vacation care visits, or from 10am-3pm Tuesday-Thursday for trail walks! Do you live on a road unsafe for walking? Or do you wish your four footed friend could spend more time being a dog during the week? How about a trail walk in a local forest? Great for dogs sensitive to noise, who have extra energy, or who just love their time outdoors! Trail walks are an hourly rate and include pickup and drop off for your convenience. I hope to see you and your animal loved ones soon! After working in a pet boarding facility, I greatly appreciate getting to care for animals in their own home. It is much less stressful for the animals, and their pet parents. I have years of experience taking care of animals in an overnight boarding facility as well as in their own home through professional pet care services, and I value transparency, safety, trust and genuine care for all animals!
“Julie was great! She was easy to communicate with and understood the needs of our two very different dogs. It was clear that they were well cared for while we were away.”
About: Have owned/cared for all ages.Willingness to train puppies. Favor outdoor activities such as walks. Very fond of animals and comfortable around them in home or public. Currently working part-time from home so flexible schedule for now. Willing to stay over when my schedule allows but probably no more than 36 hours Can not care for a dog in my current living situation. If ok, happy to bring your pet in my car for local road trips.
About: I have experience caring for a blind and elderly cats, a three-legged dog, and other animal friends. I'm skilled in administering medication and providing tailored care. As an active, clean, and organized person, I ensure pets get the attention and care they need, making me a great fit for pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule that gives me a wide range in my availability. I try my best to keep my availability up to date and accurate through the month. I find myself to be very patience and attentive in nature, especially around animals. I enjoy any time spent outside and generally try to keep my pets mentally engaged too.
“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”
About: I've taken care of small and medium sized dogs for the past 13 years. From puppies, seniors, and females in heat. Leash training ruff? I can work on that during our walks! I work from home most days of the week and would love your to have the extra fluffy company! Morning and evening walks plus cuddle time when they want it. Available all week long! Apartment is within a complex that has other dogs. If interaction is not wanted I will keep them away. Plenty of grass space to sniff and a pet park to run in
“We really appreciate that Jamie spent the day with Fynn- she showed up on time, communicated both in advance and during the visit, and provided multiple updates and peace of mind while we were away. Would recommend!”
About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.
“Kayla was so great with our guy, sharing updates and being punctual with responses and visit times. She even adjusted her schedule to come back after our travel plans were disrupted! Can’t wait to have her stay with Louis again soon.”
About: Hi there! I’m Emily, an animal lover with a soft spot for furry friends of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or just curling up for cuddles, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats — from playful puppies and energetic breeds to mellow senior pets who just want a cozy companion. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time, however, I am home during the weekend and have a lovely park near my home to walk your pet around if they need! Or I can come to you and walk around your home! I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family! Whether I’m in your home or mine, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to follow your specific instructions and routines — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles — so your pet feels secure and happy.
About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life! My own fur babies are 11 and 14 and I’ve had them since they were kittens. I’ve been pet sitting for alittle over two years now. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and even ferrets! I have experience with pets of all ages (puppies/kitten to seniors) and all sizes. I make sure each pet is shown the love and care they deserve. Im currently a college student who is doing school completely online so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available all days of the week and at any time that is needed. The care and support I give to each fur baby is different based off of their needs. If you have a younger fur baby that needs lot of play I will spend all the time they need to get their energy out. If your have an older fur baby I will make sure to adapt to there needs, for example if they need to go slower on a walk, that’s no problem!
“Amanda was super prompt and responsive while we were out of town! She stayed at our home with our clingy border collie and gave great updates and pictures - they got out and about as much as possible during a heatwave but had plenty of snuggles and scritches inside in the AC. She left the house in perfect order. We would love to have her stay again in the future!”
About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sutton
Mackenzie did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She was inquisitive about their routine and any special needs they may have. She kept their routine for them, kept them company and loved them. She also took care of our house and property expertly as well! She offered to water the garden if it didn’t rain and brought the mail in too! We would definitely have Mackenzie take care of our girls again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sutton is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $73 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 Sutton 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 Sutton 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 Sutton 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 Sutton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
