“Laura was AMAZING!! We were so blessed to have found her!! Many thanks for the great communication, pictures and fabulous gifts she left for Julian! So thoughtful and kind!! Just cannot say enough great things about this beautiful young lady!! Definitely a keeper!!!”
“Jaimie was the best. She house sat for my dog for 5 days. Dog loved her (think she might have been disappointed to see that it was me coming home rather than Jaimie). Very responsive, took dog on long walks, sent lots of pics, left house cleaner than when she came (no small feat given that I had professional cleaners come a few days earlier. Terrific to deal with in every way.”
“We had a wonderful experience with sarah watching our puppy for a week while we were out of town! She was incredibly thoughtful and thorough, sending us detailed updates and plenty of pictures throughout her stay. She kept us informed of how our dog was doing, brought any concerns to our attention, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also left our home just as we had left it. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and care. It’s clear our dog got along with her wonderfully, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs and cats since I was in middle school and I love interacting with and taking care of all types of animals! I’m currently in Graduate school for Physical Therapy and I can do any evenings, and then have more availability during the early afternoon/evening on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays. Available all day on Saturday and Sundays! I will ensure the pet is on a leash or run while outdoors, unless stated otherwise. I can crate them as needed, and ensure whatever they need I provide!
About: I've spent more than 5 years as a licensed pet groomer, building strong relationships with dogs and their owners. I'm certified through the National Dog Groomers of America and skilled in full grooming, bathing, and nail care for all breeds. I take time to learn each dog's unique personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Happy to provide house-sitting with the added benefit of professional grooming experience. I know that pet care needs don’t always follow a schedule, which is why I offer flexible availability, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule and travel distance allow. My goal is to make finding reliable care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible! N/A to my household. More focused on home ownerships rules and in case of emergency I would have instructions to contact the owners veterinary clinic and depending on the situation I am certificated in K9 CPR.
About: Animal care is a big part of my life — I have four pets including a pit-bull, two lab mixes and a cat of my own, plus a year of experience walking and house sitting dogs and cats through my partner's pet care business. I treat every pet like my own, and your animal's safety and comfort always come first. I have just recently left my full time teaching job, so I can now give my full time, attention and effort into your furry family I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine — feeding, water, and exercise on schedule. Since I don't watch dogs at my own home, visits happen at the client's house, whether that's a drop-in, walk, or house sitting. I do a quick safety check, send photo updates, and leave things just as I found them.
“Kelsey did a great job housesitting with our cat Sasha while we were away for the weekend. She arrived on time, sent updates (with photos) a few times a day and was always quick to respond. The last time we left Sasha with a sitter she was stressed out and didnt eat while we were away. However, Sasha played, ate and used the litterbox as usual with Kelsey. We also came back to a very clean and neat home. We will definitely be using Kelsey again!”
“Jenna was terrific with my two Golden Retriever dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them and playing with them. They seemed very sad to see her leave after two days. Will definitely reach out again when they need sitting.”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
“Julie was great! She was easy to communicate with and understood the needs of our two very different dogs. It was clear that they were well cared for while we were away.”

Apartment is within a complex that has other dogs. If interaction is not wanted I will keep them away. Plenty of grass space to sniff and a pet park to run in
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our home! Our kitties loved her and she gave them lots of attention. We had a battery go out in our gas fireplace and she called us to talk about the issue. The she found a you tube video and figured out how to replace the battery. We were grateful to not have to stress about it. Most importantly, our fur babies were comfortable with her!”

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 of House Sitting in Upton is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $98 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.

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 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.
