“We loved having Meghan house sit for our two dogs over a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. She also was able to easily give our dogs medications and followed their schedule well. She even let both dogs sleep in bed with her since that is what they are used to! Meghan was very respectful of our home and cleaned up more than she needed to prior to her leaving. We definitely want Meghan to watch our dogs in the future!!”

About: Hi! I’m Stephanie, and caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s been a huge part of my life for the past 25 years. I’m a veterinary technician with extensive experience in general practice and emergency veterinary medicine, so your pets are in experienced, capable hands! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and those who need medications or extra attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow the care instructions you provide. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets when you’re away, which is why I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re gone. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your fur babies are doing well. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some extra snuggles, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I’d love to help! 🐾❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible. Just let me know what you need and what services you need and when and I will take care of everything else I can come to your home and perform nail trims and lan expressions and even come and let your dogs out and back in. Playtime drop ins whatever you need!

“I was so pleased with Parker’s petsitting and housesitting services! She’s very kind and a good communicator, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I didn’t worry about him at all during my trip. I was so grateful that he was able to stay in our home so that he was in a familiar environment, and Parker was a great houseguest! I would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”

“Darcy was amazing!! My pups warmed up to her faster than I’ve ever seen them with a new sitter. I was extremely comfortable with her watching my pups by the end of our meet and greet and would absolutely ask her to sit in the future. A big bonus to me was her willingness to spend the night with them and how she respected my house during her stay. Highly, highly recommended her!”

Jennifer stayed at our house for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took great care of our 5-year-old German Sheperd and treated him like family. She was very good about sending pictures and giving updates. I will certainly try to hire her again when we plan our next vacation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tremont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Tremont is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $32 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.

As of October 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tremont. 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 Tremont 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 Tremont 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 Tremont 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tremont. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
