“Nicole was a dream come true for us! Our 11 year old labradoodle instantly liked her, I hired her on the spot to watch Lucy for 4 nights while we were away. Our pup has some medical issues and needs medication, Nicole felt totally comfortable with all her needs and I left without a worry. She sent tons of pictures of their time together. When we got home everything was as we left it! I highly recommend Nicole and know without a doubt that I will be using her again!”
“I had an amazing experience with my dog and pig sitter, Eliza, who stayed at my home for over a week. She took exceptional care of both my dog and pig, and I came home to animals that were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Eliza made sure both animals received their medicine (rolling with the punches because Buddy got an infection right before we left so it was an added responsibility she took on in stride) Eliza was incredibly thoughtful and sent regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that my pets were getting real attention, not just basic care. She was also very communicative and responsive whenever I had questions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. My dog Buddy clearly bonded with her during the stay, he actually seemed a little sad when Eliza left, buddy went to the room she stayed in when we got home from our trip 😂 before sleeping where he usually. Highly recommend I would trust Eliza again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family. My own dog, Jackson, is a tripawd who requires extra attention and specialized care, which has given me firsthand experience with patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or requires a little extra support, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I am a part-time massage therapist/esthetician who works a second shift schedule. I am available for pet care until 1:30pm on Mon-Wed, and have full availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am not available on weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication when caring for your pet. During drop-in visits and walks, I will ensure your dog is secure, comfortable, and gets the attention they need. I will always follow your instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a potty break, neighborhood walk, or local trail adventure, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have always loved dogs and I grew up with both dogs and cats! I also used to work at a doggie daycare where I helped take care of dogs daily! I’m a college student and I have a good amount of free time on my hands in between classes! I have a dog back at my house and I dog sit so I have a very good understanding of dogs needs! I will always ask about your routines and the best way to go at things. I will also keep in contact with you and reach out if there are ever any concerns!

Rachel also sent us lots of pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind and really allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upton
Jill was absolutely amazing. Was able to book super last minute and she was great with my pups during the meet and greet. She also was so great during the week. One of my dogs was unexpectedly sick and she kept us updated, gave them some extra love. Also just side note, she washed all the bedding after house sitting which was just such an unexpected kindness that really helped once I got home as a I was beat.
Nicole took such great care of our two pups in our home ! She is truly an animal lover, was super responsive and professional and sent lots of updates and videos throughout the week. It was so great to know our dogs (and our home!) were in such great hands while we were on vacation. We would highly recommend Nicole!
Bianca was wonderful! She took great care Penny and went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and well taken care of while we were away. She was super helpful and accommodating when our flight home was rescheduled. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her watch Penny in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Upton on Rover is $61.05 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 5,953 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upton. 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 Upton 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 Upton 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 Upton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Upton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
