About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I haven't just grown up with dogs and cats; I also have a Labrador of my own. I go beyond the basics – outdoor walks, running sessions, ball games for dogs, and interactive "mouse" chasing for cats. When permitted, I provide nutritious homemade meals for that extra tender loving care. Offering a personalized touch, I ensure furry friends receive love, attention, and ample playtime. Sharing joyful moments through pictures with the owners, I keep pet parents reassured and their pets content. Your fur babies are in caring hands! I currently work from home, providing me with a highly flexible schedule. I am available for pet care during early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I am also available overnight for the most part. For the house sitting service, I create a safe and trustworthy environment as a pet sitter. My two-story house, coupled with a spacious backyard, ensures ample space for pets. There are also nearby walking sites in the neighborhood. My Labrador, Kano, is sociable and enjoys the company of small dogs in my home. Your pets will feel comfortable and welcomed in this pet-friendly space.

“Michelle was fantastic!! She sent us updates and photos every day and our dogs looked very happy and at ease. She walked them consistently and was very positive with every interaction. Plus, she washed and dried the bed linens before she left, so the house was fully recovered from her stay. We'll definitely be hiring her again, and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, caring pet sitter.”

“I have 2 dogs. One girl who is skittish of everyone and another dog who's an escape artist. Recently I had to leave town at the last minute and Brittan stepped up, even after I warned her it wouldn't be easy. Wow, it was such a comfort knowing my 2 dogs were safe and taken care of. My skittish baby learned to eat and drink with Brittan and my escape artist didn't escape! TY Brittan!”

“Kiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.”

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

“Stephanie is absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. We had just moved to a new home and 2 acre property before our vacation, and she took all of the stress out of leaving the animals in a new home while we were away. She goes above and beyond with her communication and detailed updates, which I greatly appreciate. My GSDs are high-anxiety by nature, so coming home to them relaxed is evidence of how well she cares for them and follows their routine. I have an escape artist cat that she manages to keep in the house - which isn’t always an easy task! Stephanie takes care of the house just as well as the animals, and even thoroughly cleaned up an unexpected pet mess for us as well. I highly recommend Stephanie for any pet care needs!”

About: I have experience with fostering dogs rescued from difficult situations. I am very patient and can handle a lot of energy. I love animals of all sorts, and I can work with each pet with consideration of their specific needs. I work remotely, so I'm able to really attend to any pets in the home and to integrate them into my day. My apartment has a great dog park and my neighborhood is great for walks as well. My schedule during the day allows for me to go for short walks in addition to 1-2 longer ones. I would treat any pet as my own. I feel lucky to get to spend time with them and I know being entrusted with someone's pet is a big deal.

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets through both personal and hands-on situations. I grew up accompanying my mother while she cleaned homes, where I was responsible for looking after pets during visits, including feeding, walking, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they were calm and comfortable while their owners were away. I also had a cat for 18 years, during which I was involved in her daily care, routines, and longterm wellbeing throughout her life. I care deeply about animals and tend to be very attentive to their needs and comfort. To give a small example, I often check ahead of time if a movie involves animal harm so I can prepare myself emotionally. These experiences have made me patient, observant, and consistent with animals. I’m comfortable following detailed routines and making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and well looked after in their owners’ absence I work as a private violin teacher, typically teaching lessons daily in the afternoons and evenings, usually between about 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with some variation depending on the day. My mornings and earlier afternoons are generally flexible, which allows me to schedule pet care, walks, and drop-ins consistently during those hours. I also have availability later at night and overnight depending on the booking, which makes house sitting and extended stays possible. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure to communicate clearly in advance so pet care responsibilities are reliable and consistent I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for each home I enter. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and structured environment for pets, and ensure their daily routines are kept consistent. I’m attentive to detail, especially during walks and feedings, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I treat each home with care and professionalism, keeping spaces clean and organized. I also provide clear communication and updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Upton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 741 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 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 Upton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
