“Delaney W was great with my Jack Russell Terrier. She communicated with me and left photos. She was punctual and informative. I did not worry at all about the care my dog was receiving. Thank you, Delaney!”
“Leaving on vacation is always difficult when you have to leave your furry family members behind, but Guillermo made it so easy! He was so attentive and able to take care of all the various needs our pets, from a very old cat who needed special feeding to our dog who needed medicine and an ear cleaning. We are so thankful Guillermo was here to take care of everyone! Very highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Ever since I was a child, my love for animals has been a central part of who I am. Whether caring for my own pets or helping out neighbors, family, and friends, I've built a strong foundation of hands-on experience supporting dogs and puppies with all kinds of needs (i.e. older companions, anxious furry friends, and those who require special medical attention). You can count on me to treat your furry companions with the same warmth, patience, and love I've given to animals my whole life. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets all the attention, playtime, and affection they deserve! I'm available to house sit and provide care for your furry friends with at least a day's notice, and I genuinely love caring for pets on longer-term stays where we can really settle into a comfortable routine together. When caring for your pets in your home, safety and trust are my highest priorities. I will always treat your space with the same care and respect as my own. I will make sure all doors are secured, routines are followed precisely, and your home is kept neat. You'll receive regular updates and total peace of mind knowing your furry companions and your house are in safe, loving hands!

“Julia was awesome! Julia stayed at our house for 2 nights while taking care of our 135 lb. Bullmastiff, Louie. Julia also took care of our many plants. Louie was relaxed and well cared for and our house was left spotless. Julia asked questions about the plants and Louie and also offered to wash the bed sheets before leaving. We received daily photos which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend Julia!”
“Alyssa did a fabulous job with our senior lab mix. She was communicative and took wonderful care of him and our home while we were away. She administered medicine and gave him the space he needed to warm up to her. Would absolutely hire her again.”
“Austin dog sat for us over a long weekend. We have two quirky 55lb dogs. Austin gave timely communication each day and reached out with any questions. He also sent photos each day of our dogs! He left our house clean and organized. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter and would book again!”
“Philip took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Dallas was well cared for; we got many updates and photos. It was nice to go away and know Dallas, and the house was in good hands. We will keep him in mind for future pet sitting needs.”
“Lilian was fantastic with Dexter and Nova during our booking. Dexter, our energetic little pup, and Nova, our sweet cat, were both calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Lilian kept everything smooth and stress‑free, giving them plenty of attention and making sure their routines stayed on track. It’s such a relief knowing they were in kind, capable hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Catherine gave our senior kitty wonderful care and attention over two overnights and days. She was also patient and responsive to these first-time clients over-concerned about being away from our cat. We so appreciated the updates, photos, videos, and reassurances, and now feel much more confident about leaving him, especially under Catherine's care. Thank you so much.”
About: I always pay attention to a pets body language, even my own. I also have knowledge of CPR and the Heimlich maneuver on animals and how their size will change the approach. I have a lot of free time to safely, smartly, and comfortably take care of your pets while I work on my physical therapy education The trust of a pet is incredibly important to me. With cautious animals, I always make an effort to show I am not a threat and listen to the signals from even friendly animals.
About: I have always been called upon to watch pets for family and friends and have had my own pup for three years now. I absolutely adore animals and it will show! I am a student and researcher who makes his own schedule, so I am available at all odd hours of the day to pop in. I always make sure to have a clear play area for my pup where nothing can hurt him. This will carry over in to how I take care of your pup in your home.

Isabella was so easy to schedule with and made time to visits before our trip. She kept the house clean, kept me updated daily with a picture and was so professional and polite throughout the process. Hoping Isabella is always around when we are headed out of town!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tewksbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tewksbury on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,276 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tewksbury. 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 Tewksbury 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 Tewksbury 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 Tewksbury 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.

- 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.
