“We left Hobo with Ryan for a weekend. Its the first time anyone has doggysat him as hes a big challenging dog. We had a couple of introductory walks and Hobo now has a new best friend. Ryan was superb. He kept us informed and was very respectful when staying at our house. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ryan, except if too many of you book him he may not ne available when we need him :)”
“Maggie was so lovely - she came to meet the dogs before looking after them! Great communication and the doggies loved her!! Thank you so much for taking care of them xx”
“Jess C. Was an excellent sitter for Clyde. A very nice and pleasant young lady. She sent us regular reports and photographs. She left the house and a very clean and tidy state. I would not hesitate to book Jess C. In the future. And I can highly recommend her to any one else who wants a pet sitter in the future. Thank you Jess C. ?”
“Jake came to stay overnight for us when we were away. He turned up on time and I felt really confident that the house and Zeus world be in excellent hands while we are away. He kept in regular contact with us and when we returned it was clear that he had taken really good care of Zeus and the house. Would recommend and look forward to Jake coming back to help us again.”
About: I have worked at a doggy day care for 4 years, and cared for family and friends dogs for longer. I am DBS checked and insured. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. Alongside my experience working in doggy day care, I make time in my routine for walks, play, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable and happy while sticking to their usual routine. I love getting outdoors and playing with the dogs, as well as curling up on the sofa for a calm evening in. I believe dogs are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I follow owners’ instructions carefully and provide reliable, attentive care in their home. From walks and feeding to playtime and companionship, I aim to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while treating both their home and routine with respect. I also love sending cute updates to owners showing what we have been up too.
About: I've been taking care of my friends dogs for years now, used to have a dog of my own, that I loved and cherished for years. I am available in the evenings and during the weekends as I have a full time job, but have free evenings from 5 and all weekends. I can take care of your pets depending on your dogs needs and would follow strictly directions on how to take care of your furry friend.
“Maria was an absolute super star helping us out last minute when we were let down the afternoon before a planned day trip. She arrived on time and looked after the boys as instructed, they were very happy when we arrived home. Thank you so much”
About: I have just said farewell to my 15 year old Springer Spaniel and whilst I am not yet ready for a new companion I would love to look after your dog whilst you're on holiday. I recently retired and so available to take care of your dog all day, every day. I am used to walking 5+ miles a day and your pet will get at least 3 walks per say (if required/heat permits) and will be rarely left alone (if Sitting/boarding). I have a fenced garden at the bottom of a quiet cul de sac, and live nearby a large orchard for safe (on lead) walks. Crate and dog bed available and covers on furniture if cuddles are required.
“We have just got back after being away for 4 days. Oscar has been fantastic with the dogs and the house is immaculate. I think he really loved his time here and the dogs were certainly happy and well cared for. His communication skills are excellent. Thoroughly recommend..”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since a young age and worked in a kennels when I left school. I studied canine training + behaviour, worked in kennels and with other dog walkers/sitters. I’m currently doing an online uni course dog training and behaviour (stsk9). I have had my own business in 2020. Working with dogs is my full time job. I provide lots of love and care for your beloved pets. I am able to provide a tailored experience that meets your dogs / pets needs and follow their normal daily routine. Working with dogs is my full time job so your dog will have my full company. I will meet their needs based on their breed and age. I live in a quiet and pet friendly area with a spacious and fenced back yard. I live local to a field and river which are both perfect for walks. I also drive so can go to different places (if your dog is happy to travel in a car) If your dog uses a crate please bring it along as I will stick to their routine of when they use it (eg overnight, during the day at certain times etc) I do have a spare XL crate here for larger breeds.

I am currently employed full-time with some flexibility to work remotely (Office Hours 8-4). I will always be happy to help where I cam when available!

“Hannah looked after our very needy fire baby Fred and we came back to a very calm dog with a super clean and tidy house. Would highly recommend Hannah she is such a lovely person and we are now so assured when we leave Fred he will be in good hands.”
“Diana is an excellent pet sitter! We were lucky to had found her. She came to see our pets twice before staying at ours for a week. She sent daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy. We are definitely contacting Diana again if we ever need help with our fur babies and we are 100% recommending Diana to our friends too!”
About: I have had animals all my life. I have a genuine love of taking care of them. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs and horses. I currently own two dogs, a cat, Guinea pigs and two ponies. I have worked with animals most of my life. I worked for the animal charity Wood Green Animal Shelter on field section, worked at a dog kennels, cattery and also worked in the hospitality industry. I have a clean driving licence. I have good knowledge of taking care of a variety of animals which has given me the experience and knowledge needed. I love the psychology of animals and understanding their body language. I am a single mum of three daughters. Two go to work and one is disabled and goes to a fantastic school in Alconbury near Huntingdon. So im at home alone a lot. I have been looking for a job that can is flexible and active but also to do something I love and have experience doing. I have a lot of free so this type of work suits me down to the ground. My home has a big garden that is fully fenced all the way round. I have tiled floors indoors which is easy cleaning. My house is open plan but I do have a utility room for a quiet place.
“Me and my partner had Joana look after our cat and stay in our home while we went away for 4 days, we were initially apprehensive about leaving someone in our home that we didn't know because we had never done this before, but Joana came round a few days before and met both ourselfs and the cat and put our mind at ease. While we were away she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos and we could tell our cat was in safe hands, we came back to a happy cat and a spotless house, she is very friendly and courteous and clearly an animal lover we highly reccomend using Joana and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for small dogs and cats. I regularly look after my sister’s two chihuahuas — one high‑energy and one more sensitive — and have been caring for them for around three years while she travels. I’ve also grown up with dogs in the family, so I’m confident supporting different small‑dog personalities, from lively and playful to shy or routine‑focused. I offer a calm, steady presence and follow each pet’s needs closely to help them feel safe and settled. I am self-employed and live life at my own rhythm, which means I have the time and paced energy to be there for your pets throughout the day. My routine is flexible and calm, so I can offer steady company, walks and care whenever they need it. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most settled. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they have steady company, walks and attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets.
About: I’m not just a pet lover; I’m trained in professional animal care. I hold a recognised qualification in Dog Grooming, which gave me invaluable experience in understanding canine anatomy and individual temperaments. This training also included Dog First Aid, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands. I am also DBS checked. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals - from dogs and cats to parrots, lizards, and rabbits! I genuinely love their company and will always treat your pets with the same respect and high level of care I would give my own. I run my own pet photography business (which includes a hybrid sitting/photography service) called The Dog Frame. While your daily updates will usually be quick snapshots from my phone, I do like to bring my professional camera along for longer house sits/bookings to capture a few high quality images of your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My schedule is quite flexible, and I can often work it around the needs of you and your pet. If I commit to taking care of your pet, my full and undivided attention will be given. I have trained in an educational setting in how to correctly and safely look after and care for dogs. I am able to recognise different behaviours, which can be helpful in certain situations, such as identifying a potential problem before it escalates - I feel this is important, as there can be much more to pet care than meets the eye. The safety and comfort of your pet will always be my top priority.

Maria looked after our three boys for five days while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we left, she gave us complete peace of mind by sending regular updates and lovely photos every day, so we always knew they were happy, relaxed, and being well cared for. She made sure they had their daily walks, lots of love and attention, and treated them as if they were her own. She also kindly accommodated us by taking them to a pre-paid local secure dog field, which we really appreciated. When we arrived home, the house was spotless and exactly as we’d left it, bedding had been washed for our return, which was such a lovely bonus after travelling. Most importantly, our boys absolutely adored Maria. It was obvious they had built a real bond with her, and they were genuinely sad to see her leave! We would recommend Maria without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will 100% be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much, Maria.
Shannon did great with Monty. Really attentive and made sure he stuck with his routine. Took him out for walks and was able yo update us throughout the night whilst we were away. Left our home clean and tidy, which is a relief with such a manic 4 weel old! Can't fault her so full 5 stars. Have recommended her to our neighbour who needs a committed walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boston on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 .

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Boston walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Boston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
