“Katharine has been my saving grace since getting my Benny boy. Her love and care for my puppy doesn’t go unnoticed. She is the most reliable help I have found so far, and I plan to keep her around for as long as she will let me. My Benny loves her and so do I! Thank you Katharine for all you do for us, and I absolutely recommend using her for your doggy needs! ❤️”
“Jordan did a great job with my girls! She followed all instructions and even got my puppy to use the bathroom so I don’t have to worry about her in her kennel! She also brought in an Amazon package and put it on the stairs for me. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently care for three dogs and four cats at home which means I’m pretty used to all kinds of personalities, from the shy ones to the goofy zoomy ones. I bring patience, reliable care, and a calm presence to every visit! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and weekdays . When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures through out the day!
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, always at least 2, sometimes even 3! I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs: sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I also have a scientific background in handling different types of animals so consider myself extremely comfortable with your dogs! I'm available any weekday before 8am and after 4pm! Weekends are also available. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm looking to help! I am eager and able to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home! Feel free to message me with any details to make sure your furry friend is well cared for!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kiddo! Dogs and cats. I had my maltipoo, Georgie, for 18 years. I had my cowboy corgi, Squeaks, for 4 years and just recently lost him due to cancer. He is missed very much. My work schedule is very flexible. I work from home and usually within an hour of Birmingham. Rarely travel out of town. I make my own schedule. My latest pup, Squeaks, had cancer. He was on a holistic journey from July to Thanksgiving. He was on all natural supplements and I also cooked his food fresh every week. Ground turkey, sweet potatoes and veggies. Unfortunately, his Tumor had progressed and I had to make the best decision for him a few weeks ago.
“Amazing! Chandler took such great care of our pups while we were home. She communicated very well and dealt with all the hiccups our pups gave her during that time. I would highly recommend Chandler and will use her again the future if she’ll have us.”
“Christina was amazing. She truly treated our dog like he was her own, she went above and beyond and walked him even more than we asked. I cannot recommend her enough!!!!”
About: I’ve been around all types of animals my whole life. I love to spend time with pets and be able to help out. I am active and can run around with your pets or sit and chill with them. I am a full time student in College at Samford University. Where I am on the track team and in sorority life. This would be a side hustle for me but that doesn’t mean I will put in any less effort. This is something I love to do. I have one loving dog of my own. I understand that pets need space sometimes and can recognize that. I love to give rubs and treats when deserved and play with them.
“Jamie was a wonderful pet sitter for our two cats while we were away on vacation! She did an excellent job caring for them, giving medication, and communicating. We will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
About: Hey Dog Parents, I am a huge dog lover. I always have been. I have had dogs in my household my whole life and I miss having one around. This is why I would love to help you and make sure your dog is taken care of. I promise to do my best and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I love to go for walks and be active and will be happy to play with your dog. My work schedule allows me to walk frequently, which is great for a dog that enjoys being outside. I pay a lot of attention and make sure that each dog is comfortable and happy around me. I also have experience with dogs that have separation anxiety. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: Whether you have a rambunctious puppy whos curiosity gets the better of them, an adolescent who wishes to have the tennis ball thrown 100 times, an adult who just wants a couch companion, or a senior dog who needs help getting down the stairs for their daily walk, I'm your gal! I have experience administering medication, have given insulin shots, as well as have owned and managed deaf, blind and pregnant dogs. I have also helped welp a litter of GSDs. Although I have a HUGE soft spot for Bully breeds (PLEASE share your pitties, staffies, bulldogs, dobbies and rotties with me!) I have worked with and house sat for dogs of all size, age and breeds. All dogs deserve love, respect and companionship❤️ My entire life revolves around animals as thats my entire career. I work on a horse ranch and take care of a herd of 26 horses. I have worked in domestic pet and livestock feed and nutrition and have helped owners find the best dietary fit for their animals needs whether special needs or just wanting to fit their lifestyle. Pet welfare is my entire goal in life- with me your pet is more than just another name on a screen. They are a unique individual I cannot wait to meet and learn about inside and out- from their happy wagging tail to their wet, curious sniffer. My animals are my number 1! My own dog goes to daycare atleast 2x a week to get social time on days I know I may be gone long and my cats are provided a clean, fresh environment that they can get the zoomies and run around together. They always come before I do. Water bows are cleaned daily, each animal gets one on one time with me daily and they all get enrichment toys and treats. Just as I treat my own animals, I will treat yours because I understand just how important they are to you and want to give full peace of mind that your animals are left in good, reliable and trustworthy hands no matter the circumstances.
About: I have raised multiple dogs and cats into their senior years. I worked on a farm caring for multiple types of animals for two years. I'm currently a senior at UAB so I am available on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Working with pets while studying what I love is both a blessing and a joy. At my home, we have an invisible fence to keep our dog safe. Currently, we also have used a crate and sleeping place for training
“Louann did an great job, it made my vacation all the better knowing my kitties were in good hands. She kept me up to date with pictures. She spent time playing with them which was appreciated. Will definitely reach out again in the future”
About: I have taken care of dogs and owned them myself for over 10 years. I love them so much and would love the opportunity to love on your sweet babies! I am a dog mom to a lab and goldendoodle with lots of experience. I work remote so I am able to make drop in visits in the mornings, at lunch or dinner time. I can do walks or just let outs as desired. I can take your dog for a walk, play with them indoors or what ever accommodates them best. I don’t offer services in my home only drop ins.
“Morgan was great and I will most definitely be booking her again the next time I am in need! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos showing my dog always looking so happy and cared for.”

Kristine is AMAZING!!! She took such good care of our girl! Pictures and lovings and cuddles twice a day, everyday. Our Mackenzie got everything she needed and what she wanted from Kristine. Anyone would be so grateful , like I am, to have Kristine taking care of their kids.
We needed a last minute check in on our pup this Saturday, and Jessica was quick to respond and accept. She has stayed multiple overnight visits in our home to care for our dog. We appreciate her genuine care and affection she always shows our pup. Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate YOU!!!
Sydney was AWESOME with our kitty, Casper, while we were out of the country for a week! She sent daily pics of him and kept us updated daily about how he was doing and the things they did together. She even took out our trash for us (unprompted) which was so sweet of her. Thank you so so much Sydney!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Acton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 961 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Acton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Acton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
