“Kelly good great care of my sweet older boy Murphy. She answered text quickly and sent pics. She followed my care instructions and my house was exactly as we left it when we returned. I will definitely hire Kelly again!”
“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”
“Thank you Shirley for taking such great care of our very energetic puppy! Shirley came on time to the house sitting and was super responsible through out the whole sitting! She even brought cute little dog treats! 😊”
“Great to have watching over my cats. One of my cats is a senior while the other one is young, she was able to take care of both and send me updates on a daily basis on how they are doing. Will definitely book again in the future”
“Sianna, was the absolute best. Our dogs loved her so much we thought they might be disappointed when we returned! She sent plenty of updates and pictures! I highly recommend her!”
About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!
“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”
About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
“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!!!”
“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”
“We are so lucky that Anya was available to sit with Rudy. She sent photos and messages letting us know how he was doing throughout her stay. She is very caring and capable. We will book again when needed!”
“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.”
About: I have well over a decade caring for fur babies! With me, you can trust your babies will be in terrific hands. From growing up with my own pets, and caring for others, I have tons of experience I have dogs, cats, frogs, and fish. My babies are cared for and loved on daily. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I understand how stressful it can be having someone care for your pets. At my home, you can have piece of mind that we have a fenced in yard. If caring at your home, I can offer drop in visits, or stay there. Daily check ins will be provided.
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
About: My own senior dog is a rescue who has had special needs throughout her life, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and really paying attention to what an animal is communicating. I’ve learned to recognize their needs and boundaries and understand that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and one of the best compliments I hear is, “Our pet seems to really love you!” I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet as an individual and give them the patience, attention, and affection they need. I am available for pet sitting, drop-ins or walks around my work schedule - my shifts are between 6-8 hrs Mon-Fri, so your pet will never have to wait too long for me to get back for a walk, feeding, or play time :) Weekends are typically more open and flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for my own rescue dog with special needs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. I want every pet in my care to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and communicate with you so you know how things are going while you’re away.
“Kaylee was an absolute BLESSING! Our dog is a rescue and a little shy and nervous of new people, situations. She did AMAZING with him. We had several bad storms during her stay and she sat with him and snuggled him to soothe him throughout. She was in tune to his emotions and absolutely put him first in every situation without hesitation! He was a very happy boy and we could NOT have asked for a better experience! She also took very good care of the house and communicated with pics and videos every day. She is THE BEST!!”
“Janellle and her sister are a God send! They took wonderful care of our fur babies-2 cats and 2 dogs. One dog is a senior with food allergies and required eye drops. They took both dogs for multiple walks and played and loved on our cats. We were out of the country for four days and they took care of our home as if it was their own. I highly recommend them to care for your fur family any time. They sent us pics while we were away and it kept us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our cats and dogs were happy and cared for…we will definitely use them again and you should too!!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,760 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 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.

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.
