“Zana is knowledgeable and experienced. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our pets were comfortable, happy, and cared for. She is an excellent communicator, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Zana!”
“Shirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.”
“Robyn has been wonderful, and both my dog and bunny liked her immediately. I had a trip planned that turned into total confusion and cancellation. Robyn was so understanding with my circumstances. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kelly was great ! We received regular updates with pictures of our pups. Communications leading up to our trip were also excellent which gave us a lot of confidence about our first booking with Kelly. When we returned our house was in good order and our pups were happy and calm ( as terriers can be :-) ) We will use Kelly again”
“Ryan and Thomas house and pet sit for us for 12 nights- two dogs and four elderly cats- and we are absolutely thrilled with their service. Regular updates, and most importantly, our animals loved them. I look forward to using their services again. Two excellent human beings well worth the cost. So glad we found them!”
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”
“I really am honestly lost for words. Janelle is so passionate and caring not only for the fur babies she takes care of but for people as well. She always reassured me that my baby’s were on while I was away. She sent me pics and told me how their day was daily without me even asking. Our pups did wonderful with her. She was super gentle and kind. And if she needed anything she contacted me or used the tip sheet we gave her for guidance. Will be using Janelle again for Sure in the future. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“Lindsay did a great job watching my dogs in my house while we were traveling. She checked in dauly with updates of the dogs. Took my more active dog to her house while she worked for more enriched supervision and also kept my older dog happy and on routine. I look forward to working with her again when we travel.”
“Destiny is a dream come true ! She did a wonderful job watching Bubba for a week during our vacation. Although I’m a lil late writing this review due to a death in our family…. I would definitely use Destiny again ! She kept Bubba occupied so not to have any anxiety, he was happy and healthy! Destiny is very sweet , calm , and a all around wonderful person .”
“Jennifer was awesome! She did a wonderful job of taking care of LouLou She also left the house in great order and kept me updated with LouLou. I would definitely use her again.”
“This is our second time having Elliot stay with our Bear while we were away. He is a dog whisperer! Bear is huge, leans towards reactivity and Elliot handles all aspects of his care beautifully. I highly recommend Elliot. He makes being away from our big Bear worry free!”
About: I am currently a school counselor in my 23rd year of service and trying to make some extra income. I love all animals. I have a cat and a border collie and Shih Tzu mix that my family and I recently rescued. I also have a 16 year old daughter who loves animals. I am reliable, flexible, patient, and caring. I have had a dog or cat my entire life. I have cared for many other people’s animals for them over the years. I have given dogs and cats insulin shots and also given medications if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Falls
We had Roberta stay with our 2 dogs and 2 cats for a week. We have been afraid to leave one of our dogs with anyone other than family because he can be temperamental. This limited our options of vacations and traveling for quite a while which made things difficult for us. Roberta was totally fine with taking care of our babies after meeting them. I cannot explain the peace of mind that she gave us while staying with them. It meant so much. She was amazing. We had daily communication and she sent pictures and videos. We will absolutely reach out to her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Meghan watched our cat and dog for an extended time while we’re overseas. She was wonderful and took great care of our geriatric boys who both needed meds. Communication was very consistent and she sent great pictures. The cherry on top was that she left the house immaculate for us and even had the bed clean and ready for us which was tremendous as we got home from the airport after midnight. We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely book her again!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,712 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Falls. 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 Upper Falls 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 Upper Falls 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 Upper Falls 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 Upper Falls. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
