“Fernanda was great! Responsible, responsive, and attentive to the specific needs of my little love bug. I highly recommend her and will request her for future needs. Thank you for providing such thoughtful and informed care!”
About: I genuinely love animals and take pride in providing dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet as an individual, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My reliability, attention to detail, and experience with both cats and dogs help me provide care that owners can trust. 🐾 I am available weekdays (Monday–Friday) from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I have a flexible schedule within this time frame and can adjust to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed. I offer flexible pet care both in my home and at clients’ homes. I have a large, fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood with plenty of space for dogs to run and play securely. I also have a friendly resident dog for social pets, as well as the ability to crate animals if needed for safety or routine. I provide toys, treats, and lots of attention, and I’m happy to include walks, playtime, and structured care based on your pet’s needs. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment so your pets feel right at home while you’re away.
About: I got my first dog when I was 10. She was a puppy when I got her and was the love of my life. She taught me responsibility, patience, love, gentleness, and kindness. In my adulthood I fostered a sweet dog for two years before I had my children. Now I’m a single mom who is looking to help care for your dog during the times my children are not with me. I’m a single mom on a parenting schedule. I would care for your pet on the weekends my children are with their dad. During that time I would be readily available and have a lot of flexibility. I can easily come to your home and care for your pet as requested. I live in a single family home with a walking trail across the street. No fenced yard.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.
“Xiaoxue was great with our two dogs. She came to meet them and was very thorough on learning what they needed. The pictures and rover card were great to get. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets for about 5 years and I have a very flexible schedule this summer. Please reach out through September first! I just graduated with my masters so I have the summer off before starting a clinical fellowship in speech and language therapy! I am free most week days! I offer cat sitting services in your home as well as dog walking and stop by to spend some with pets during the day too
About: I’m a devoted dog lover who joined Rover simply because I love spending time with pets and connecting with other pet parents. My own dog is my world, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I work a full-time corporate job during the week, and I offer pet sitting in my free time and on weekends because I genuinely enjoy it. I’m a naturally active, busy person who likes to keep moving-and caring for animals is one of my favorite ways to do that. Whether your pup needs company, exercise, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their routine, keeping a calm environment, and providing attentive supervision, affection, and reliable care at all times.
“Becky is great! Super timely, reliable, friendly, and took great care of our dog during her drop ins. She played fetch with Rosie and wiped the mud off of her paws before bringing her back in our house, treating our dog and home as her own :) Would highly recommend Becky!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My family has a lot of foster dogs, so I have been able to take care of a variety of dogs (both my own and foster) throughout the years in addition to walking/taking care of neighbor’s dogs whenever necessary. I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so I have a lot of availability to work with in whatever capacity needed. I am new to the area and would love to explore through taking care of amazing pets in a context that is so enjoyable for me. I am a very caring animal owner who has a lot of experience with all different types of dogs as I have had foster dogs for most of my life. I am young and active, so I am able to handle high energy dogs as well.
About: know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with both dogs and cats and I’m comfortable with shy, playful, energetic, or senior pets. I follow instructions closely and love sending photo updates so you never feel out of the loop. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re gone :) Summer is coming! i’ll have plenty of time for giving pets lots of love and attention! summer is the best for walks and some fun! I have a fenced yard for my dog Charlie! We always make sure he’s fed and has water. We give him a lot of love and I’d be sure to do the same for your pet! :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Acton
Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Acton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Acton 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Acton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% 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.
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.
