“Marrissa did an amazing job! She was communicative, professional, and treated our home with the utmost respect. We left our fur children in her care and received many pictures, updates, and thoughtful questions. Marissa continued to keep an open line of communication throughout us being away from our home, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting!”
“Lexi was wonderful with our pup Remy! She was communicative, easy-going, and super nice. Lexi sent us some pictures while we were away, and it was so nice leaving him with a trusted, professional person. We will be rebooking Lexi soon!”
“Anna was great!! Our dog seemed comfortable with Anna and Starbuck from the onset! Pictures showed a happy dog and the house looked great when we got home. Looking forward to having Anna and Starbuck here for another stay!!”
“Payton was wonderful. She stayed with our doggo, Truffle, while we were on vacation. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and left our house very clean. We would definitely have her watch Truffle again.”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter! She was incredibly communicative before and during our time away and shared lots of daily updates. Our pets seemed immediately comfortable with her and she took great care of our space. We won't hesitate to book with Taylor again!”
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.
“Tory was amazing with our dog Bella! She stayed for two nights and sent updates and photos. She’s very communicative and reliable and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter if they’re going out of town.”
“Maria was fantastic with Juniper and Grace. Really. She shared regular photos (good ones too!) and videos so she put us at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She is a real professional and easy going too. It was always a pro”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication (if needed), or just a calm companion, I’m happy to help. I believe in providing updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm currently working 30 hours per week, in short shifts, i'm also a part time student. I have reliable days off and live building routine. I can easily crate and administer medication if needed, i'm able to walk and handle all dogs of varying breeds and behaviors. I love animals so any interaction is a treat!
“Tatiana did a great job! She kept out animals and house safe, happy and fed. Furthermore our return flight was cancelled and she was super flexible and stayed an extra day. Among all the other stress it was really nice that our little ones were well taken care of so we could focus on getting home! Thanks Tatiana!”
“Sarah took great care of our two cats and two dogs, as well as our house! Our animals really bonded with her. She was communicative, sent pictures, and asked clarifying questions so we felt confident our creatures were in good hands! We will definitely reach out again!”
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
About: We'd love to watch your pup! Pet sitting, dog walking, drop in visits. I have decades of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. And every pet loves my husband Bryan, even grumpy cats. He has had dogs since childhood. I know there is anxiety about leaving your dog with strangers. I'm very kind and conscientious, and I am great about texting and can send you updates or photos to ease your mind. I treat other people's dogs as I'd want someone to treat my own... with lots of love, pets, treats (if that's OK) and respect. I work for myself from home (consulting) so I have a lot of flexibility and control of my schedule. I only take on sitting gigs when I can give the proper attention. My previous dog was a magician and could get into stuff pretty much anywhere, including maybe even on top of the fridge. So we are well versed in creating a pet-safe environment and do not leave anything to chance.
“Christine did a wonderful job sitting my pups at my home! She was communicative during the booking process and during the entire duration of the job. My pups were well taken care of, with plenty of snuggles. She was great with the medications they needed and helped get some skin areas healed up. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience, starting at age 15. I’ve had animals my whole life, and would love to share my love for my animals to provide attentive, reliable care. I’m a part time nanny with very flexible hours which gives me lots of availability for walks, drop in’s, feeling and playtime throughout the day. I am happy to care for your pet in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I care for pets with love and attention upon each animals preference. I’m not able to care for pets in my own home at the moment.
“Peter and Sarah are very nice people and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog for 11 days with them. They do not work outside the home, so they are available most of the day. They took great care of my house (even watering my extensive garden which was above and beyond). Can't recommend them highly enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Topsham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Topsham. 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 West Topsham 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 West Topsham 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 West Topsham 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 West Topsham. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 82% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
