“Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Haleigh was amazing! She was very attentive and caring. We felt relaxed on vacation knowing our dog was being lovingly looked after. Upon our return, our home was clean and everything was as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate using Haleigh again!”
“Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!”
About: I have always had a love for all pets and have always had dogs in my family home ! I always look foward to meeting new furry friends and caring for them as if they were my own ! I’m currently not working at the time and with the weather slowly warming up I have a lot of free time to walk your pups , play ,etc ! Keeping your pets safe is my number 1 priority! I don’t have a yard unfortunately but a lot of parks and trails along Quinsigamond where I live along with a great field that I go to often with my dog and great neighbors with great dogs !
“Fiorella was a wonderful caretaker for our three dogs and home while we were away. She sent regular photos and followed all instructions thoroughly. Also left the house nice and clean!”
“Logan is the best cat sitter I have hired and this was our 3rd in-house stay with him! Not only is he attentive to my socially needy cat, he keeps me informed of what's going on so I don't have to worry at all. He recently stayed in our house for a week while we were abroad. I felt very comfortable with him there. He always leaves the house very clean and Leo seems to love him. I am thrilled that we found Logan!”
“Paulina did an amazing job taking care of our home and animals while we were away. She was incredibly attentive to our dog, who is very picky with eating, and made sure he was comfortable and well-fed. When our cat injured himself, she didn’t hesitate to offer to bring him to the vet—showing genuine care and responsibility. On top of that, she went the extra mile during the hot days by making frozen treats for our chickens to help them stay cool. I highly recommend Paulina for house sitting and pet care. We’ll be using her as often as possible!”
“Nhi was absolutely amazing with our cat Molly! She was very communicative and treated our home with lots of respect. She always sent pictures, and if she needed anything, she called or messaged us as soon as possible. I would highly recommend Nhi to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Nicole did an incredible job caring for our dog while we were away. She sent photos, spent quality time playing with him, and her thoughtful updates really put us at ease. She is kind, punctual, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We will definitely hire her again—thank you, Nicole!”
“Carley was fantastic. She sent updates and pictures daily and made us at ease knowing that Zoe was so well cared for.! I have never left my dog alone with anyone before so I was a little nervous, but Carly put my fears at ease and took tremendous care of our baby girl-would highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the future”
“Edith saved the day once again! She was able to step in last minute and watch our puppy and cat. She kept him entertained all weekend and send tons of update photos. We would have her back anytime! Thanks!”
“What a relief to find such a trustworthy, kind, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter! My dog Edie can be a handful with some anxiety issues, but both she and my kitty Pika did great while I was away. On top of that, my house was tidier when I came home than when I left it. I'll definitely be reaching out to Nicole (and Renee!) again in the future - they seriously saved the day and let me have a great time away without worry. Thank you!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, and two cats, plus growing up surrounded by family dogs, I bring genuine, lifelong pet care knowledge! During the week, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to walking and caring for pets to make sure that they pets receive the attention and exercise they need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when walking pets. I will use whatever leash or harness provided by the owner that is well-fitted to ensure control and comfort. I stay vigilant, avoiding potentially hazardous areas and always checking for traffic before crossing streets. I prioritize a calm and friendly environment, allowing pets to explore safely while providing positive reinforcement and plenty of affection. Your pets well-being is my utmost concern, and I treat them with the same care and respect as I would my own!
“Danielle communicated the whole time she was with our 2 pups for the week. We got photos and messages of 2 happy boys! They bonded with her pretty quickly too-the first night! We, and the pups look forward to having Danielle again. This was our first time using Rover. Thank you for the peace of mind!”
“Chelsea is amazing with our pups, it seems like they had an instant bond. She took care of them like we do, including monitoring and caring for a minor paw injury. Chelsea is very communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures. We really couldn't dream of a better sitter for out babies, peace of mind like that is invaluable. Looking forward to booking with Chelsea again soon!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kayla! She took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us confidence that our dog was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated our dog like one of her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Worcester
Rebecka was an amazing sitter for our precious dog Bambi! She went way above and beyond- making sure our house was well taken care of, in addition to treating Bambi like her own. Rebecka took notes on routines and preferences, and gave Bambi all the love and attention she needed. Rebecka provided pictures and updates throughout the day. We can’t wait to use Rebecka’s service on our next trip!
Sarah and Eko took care of our two dogs while we were away, and it was honestly the best pet-sitting experience we could have hoped for. This was our first time trusting anyone outside our family with our dogs, so we were nervous going in , but they put us at ease right away. They sent daily updates that made us feel like we were right there with our pups, kept our home spotless, and clearly went above and beyond out of genuine care, not just because it was the job. Because of them, we were able to actually relax and enjoy our vacation instead of worrying the whole time. We will rebook without hesitation, and we can't recommend Sarah and Eko highly enough to anyone looking for pet sitters they can truly trust.
If you're looking for someone you can trust to take care of your babies, look no further than Jared. With Jared you will have peace of mind knowing your babies are with some one you can trust, they are being well taken care of and they are happy. Jared sat for our 2 dogs, Olive and Binda, both 6 year old lab mixes for 5 days. They loved being with him and I loved not having to worry about them. Jared is caring, thorough, and very experienced. He sent us updates and pictures showing two happy pups. We will ask Jared to sit for us again, no question!
Taylah was great with Pepper. We got frequent updates, she engaged with Pepper and took her for a walk and gave her great company. Taylah also came by for a meet and greet which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her services again. Pepper loved her!
Holly was amazing! She has such good energy that I honestly didn’t even feel an urge to check in if everything is okay. I did out of habit lol but not because I felt the need to. She was very trustworthy and did a wonderful job with my poodle pup. My boy was in good hands! She was responsive and I loved that she sent me pictures and very good ones at that! Will definitely be hiring again!! Thank you so much for your help Holly!
This was our first time picking Katherine to watch our two dogs and one cat while we were away and she did so great with them!! She even gave our dog Chai a bath! We didn't have to over worry with her at our house and she even did some other cleaning before we got home. She also worked around a challenging behavior with our dog Mocha. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will reach out to her again when we are planning to be away in the future. Thank you! M&N
Marissa is the sweetest! She took excellent care of our dog Costa and our house while we were away for ten days. It was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but now feel so blessed that we found her. While we were away she sent us periodic updates and pictures of Costa which really put our mind at ease. When we arrived home he was happy to see us and completely relaxed with her. Our house was clean and organized. She’s such a gift! We highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Worcester on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Worcester. 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 Worcester 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 Worcester 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 Worcester 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 Worcester. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
