“I do not think there are enough positive words I can give for Colleen and how big of a help she was for me and Macy! She goes above and beyond, sends loads of pictures and updates, treats your dog as her own, and l will DEFINITELY be requesting her for all of my future dog sitting needs!! Absolutely amazing experience!”
“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”
“Meghan is highly dependable and is great with our dog and our cat. She takes wonderful care of our pets and sends photos and videos during our time away so we know they are doing well. We highly recommend Meghan!”
“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”
“Our second time having Isis watch our dog while we were on vacation: she is really wonderful. Lots of updates and photos while we were gone, and we returned to a tidy house and happy dog. We highly recommend her!”
“Hannah was wonderful! She stayed at our home for two weeks and took excellent care of our dog and cat. She was communicative from the very beginning, letting us know her work schedule ahead of time to make sure it would work for our needs. Hannah sent us regular updates and photos, was responsive to our messages, and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. She even washed the sheets before she left, which was thoughtful. We came home to two happy pets. We'd absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Marilyn treated our house and pups like her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and the house was exactly how we left it. She communicates with lots of pictures and our dogs seemed very happy. Would recommend Marilyn to others and we plan on having her back (if she’ll have us) next time we go away”
“Elizabeth (Betsy) was amazing for our house sitting this weekend. She took amazing care of our dog. She gave picture and video updates throughout the weekend. Our neighbors even complimented on how good Betsy was with her. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
“Cecilia was so wonderful with my cats while I was away for a few days! She took the time ahead of the stay to really get to know them and their tendencies/needs, they immediately felt comfortable in her presence. While I was away I received amazing updates, which made me feel immediately at ease. The cats were so happy and my place was perfect when I arrived home! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Alexander was amazing! He was very caring towards our dogs and our apartment. He followed our instructions and was very good at keeping us updated with messages and pictures. One of our dogs had a medical emergency right before our trip and he was quick to adapt to her needs and willing to administer medication. He was on top of reaching out for any issues and we felt like our dogs were in very good hands. We’d love to book with him again for our next trip!”
“Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.”
About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week so my schedule is a bit weird, but I am always happy to work something out! I’m generally available for walks/drop ins Monday and Friday at 5pm, Tuesday after 6pm, Wednesday before 5:30pm, Thursday both between 11am and 1pm as well as after 6:30pm, and all day on the weekends. Please just message me and I’d be happy to find a time that works! In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
“We booked Jainah for 5 days to watch our two kittens while we were out of town and we have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with her! From the beginning, Jainah was very responsive and we appreciated having the opportunity to do a meet and greet prior to booking. While we were away, we received regular updates along with videos and photos - it definitely put our minds at ease and we really appreciated the regular communication. The apartment was in spotless condition upon our return and the boys seemed happy and content. We will definitely look to book with Jainah again!”

“Andrew took incredible care of our furbaby Arlo while we were away for a week long trip. Arlo is an anxious and high energy pup. Andrew did a fantastic job keeping Arlo in a good routine, including plenty of walks and managing his allergy diet. He sent us regular picture updates every day which made us feel so much better knowing Arlo was doing well. Arlo really developed a strong bond with Andrew. We highly recommend Andrew for pet sitting and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thank you Andrew!”

Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.
J is such a great cat sitter!! Highly recommend!! She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and I could tell my cats were happy and relaxed with her in every pic (and there were so many pics!!!). I will definitely reach out to J for more cat sitting in the future!
Meghan was incredible. She took such amazing care of my dogs during a 3-might trip, I think they were sad I came home! They are going to miss her for sure. She administered their medicine, fed them, took them for walks, and played with them. Meghan sent me daily photos and videos and even made a video montage! It was such a pleasure having her and I’ll definitely be booking her again. I’d highly recommend Meghan to anyone with pets.
We’re very pleased with Corinne, who cared for our dog Luna during Labor Day weekend. She arrived early to get to know Luna, our home, and our routines, then spent time with us beforehand to document food, bedtime, and house rules so Luna stayed consistent and safe. When Luna was nervous about walks, Corinne asked for advice and used our suggestion to take her in the car to a new spot, which worked well. We received constant updates with photos of walks, meals, and bedtime, plus a detailed notebook on the counter tracking everything. We felt completely comfortable trusting Corinne with such an important family member—she was more reliable than a relative or neighbor. We’d definitely recommend Corinne to anyone seeking a loving, kind companion for their pet.
Lyna is excellent! She stayed at my house for a week caring for my 2 dogs and taking care of things around the house. She even moved my heavy plants into the garage during a storm. I’ve hired a lot of pet sitters over the years and Lyna is the best! feel lucky when she’s available.
Julia was absolutely amazing! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she kept our house spotless while we were away. She was incredibly friendly and loving with our dogs and cat, and both Julia and her sister Elizabeth were wonderful with all of our pets. They followed all of our instructions carefully and even stayed later than planned when our flight was delayed, which we appreciated so much. You are truly in great hands leaving your babies with them. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were being so well cared for. 10/10 recommend Julia and Elizabeth, and we would absolutely book with them again!
Isis was outstanding. We had a trip planned and needed someone reliable and loving to watch our two dogs. We found that in Isis. I was able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about our dogs. We received updates with pictures and came back to a spotless home. Greeted with excited happy pups with full bellies. They couldn't wait to tell us about their slumber party weekend. Would highly recommend Isis.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Waban is $80 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $109 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.
As of October 2026, there are 6,697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waban. 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 Waban 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 Waban 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 Waban 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 Waban. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
