“Ruby was great! She watched our two high maintance pups for 3 nights, and we came home to sleepy doggos and a clean house. This was our first time using a house sitter, and it definitely wont be our last. She sent us lots of updates, which kept my mind at ease knowing they were doing well. We are thrilled to have found Ruby, and a way to keep our pups comfortable at home while we are away. Thanks again, Ruby!”
“James took great care of our dog Remi while we were on vacation. We were nervous to leave him since we just moved to the city and Remi has been struggling with reactivity to other dogs, but James took great care of him. He took Remi on lots of walks and worked with his reactivity which was awesome! We got lots of updates and pictures, and Remi had a great time! I highly recommend James.”
“StacyLyn is the best! She took great care of our two dogs for a full week and took care of the house as well. She communicated daily with photos and updates. We will definitely use her again if we need to travel.”
“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
About: I have experience volunteering at Big Dog Ranch Rescue working with a variety of dogs. I also have years of experience helping care for a therapy dog. I work 8-5 so I will be taking care of pets in the evening. I’m willing to be flexible & my weekends are open. I’m happy to go on short or long walks, take your dog to a dog park, etc, whatever you prefer! In your home, I will follow all instructions as to where the dog should sleep, eat, etc.

I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests, including last-minute needs when possible. Available weekdays and weekends, offering attentive, trustworthy, and loving care always. I treat every pet like family and care for them in a safe, calm, and loving environment.

“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”
About: I personally love animals and I’ve been taking care of pets since I was around 10-11 years old. I have the most experience with cats and rabbits and fish as I’ve owned a lot of them. Although I’ve never owned one I am well experienced with dogs too as I volunteered at an adoption center and have taken care of my friends dogs many times. I have also worked with birds, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, turtles, frogs, lizards, and farm animals. I am an 19 year old college student and I’m really excited for this opportunity to make some extra money doing what I love. I’m currently working part time and I only go to school 2 days a week, leaving me with plenty of time to take care of your pet. Currently I don’t own any pets, but I have in the past. Im available for overnights on weekends. On weekdays I will most likely be available on afternoons and evenings. The house I’m living in is really spacious and it’s in a compound so there is plenty of space for them to roam around in a large, clean house. For dogs or other outdoor pets there is a large yard out in the back, however it is shared with the compound so it is not fenced. The area/compound itself is really nice, modern, and quiet. It’s a great space to take a walk, especially as the weather cools down. If you need any other information, I can share my contact info and provide pictures of the environment.
“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish — always quick to respond and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. Nicole was punctual, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our pup instantly warmed up to her, and it was clear they were in great hands the whole time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. It was such a relief knowing our pet was being cared for by someone so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. We’d absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life as I’ve always had at least 1 cat or dog in the house. I’m a huge animal lover, and will always take the best care of your pets. I’m a very active person so I’d love going on long walks with dogs as well as just stopping by to keep them company. I also have many years of experience with cats and am very understanding of their boundaries. I am currently a college student so my availability ranges, but as of right now I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays for drop ins, walks, and over night stays. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with trails nearby so I love taking my dog on walks around. We make sure our puppy is in the crate if she’s home alone, but never too long. I always make sure my pets gets as much fuel and exercise as they need.
“Macklyne did an excellent job taking care of our cat and dog in our home. She was very caring towards them and gave them a lot of attention. She goes above and beyond - even with a nor’easter bringing lots of rain, she still took Esther for walks and gave plenty of potty breaks. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. I’m currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
“Best sitter we’ve had by far! She always manages to go above and beyond our expectations, like emtying our dishwasher and baking us yummy goods. One of our pups had gone through a surgery recently, and was extra needy, but she understood and was there earlier than scheduled to make sure she’s ok. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs for all my family and friends. Let me know your dogs needs and I’ll be happy to accommodate. I have always cherished my visits with them.

I’m available on weekends and holidays. Either for walks or overnight stays. Your dog will be extremely happy. You’ll get to enjoy a well deserved vacation. Maybe you have local activities to attend.

My neighborhood is very walkable and has easy access to the fells reservation. Your dog will get tons of love, attention and exercise from me.
“Olha was so attentive and helpful for my pup who is having some back issues. She provided thoughtful updates and pictures, managed his activity to avoid further hurting his back, and provided daily oral medications. She took great care of him and I would definitely book again!”
“Sydney watched my girls for two weeks and had to deal with an unexpected leak in the apartment while I was gone. She was incredibly professional and had a great attitude, and helped mitigate the issue and took great care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as an in-home sitter!”
“If we could give Bianca 10 shining stars, we would! Bianca took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper, in our home. Bianca arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Bianca sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Bianca has our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Bianca!!!!!”

Another wonderful stay from Jamila! We always look forward to her spirited photos and commentary of her time with our pups. Updates come regularly twice a day with many pictures! Jamila always respects our training goals and house rules and spoils our pups with so much affection. We continue to be so grateful for her!
Great experience with Fran and Julia. They made us feel comfortable with our dog in their care, providing frequent and detailed updates and photos. I also appreciate how they took care of our home, leaving it clean and tidy when we returned. Thank you, Fran and Julia!
Ashley was awesome. I am a very particular dog parent and my pup Ziggy has a lot of quirks. Ashley listened to every single one and helped me manage his allergies while I was gone during the week. Ashley is also super nice and easy to chat with, Ziggy loved her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Woburn is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $131 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 Woburn 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 Woburn 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 Woburn 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.

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.
