About: From the moment I wake up, pet care is my top priority. Mornings begin with fresh water, clean bowls, nutritious meals, and outdoor time. Your pet will have constant care and companionship and will feel right at home with room to roam - and someone by their side all day. I will treat your pet as if it were my own with respect, care, trust. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.
About: I've had dogs my entire life! I've grown up a HUGE animal lover and have often cared for my friends' dogs, cats, and other pets since I was younger. In addition, I am a volunteer with Hotel For Homeless Dogs in Providence, RI, and during the school year, I volunteer there weekly. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs! I promise to show your fur babies so much love and care, and to always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.
“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 worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals and take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet like they're my own and am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have extensive experience working in the equestrian industry, where I've cared for high-performance horses and learned to recognize changes in animal behavior, maintain strict care routines, and stay calm in unexpected situations. That experience has made me highly responsible and detail-oriented when caring for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, and I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and exercise. Having worked around animals in both professional and personal settings, I'm organized, dependable, and able to adapt to each pet's individual needs while keeping them safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets. In my client's home, I stick to the pet's normal routine by feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and exactly as the owner left it. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.
About: I have owned and taken care of pets my whole life. Within the past five years did I start actively pet sitting. Services I have experience in include staying overnight (can be long term after discussion), drop-ins, feeding, and consistent walking. I also have helped pets with taking medications. I am currently working full time, so pet care would best work Friday to Sunday evening. If the location is close, I will be able to do weekday overnight stays. I would like to see the owner’s home first to ensure I can get in / get out and take care of the pet properly! This includes taking note of fenced yards, any space the pet is not allowed in, and being aware of pet habits (chewing on items, scratching, not potty trained). This ensures I know what to do beforehand and can give the best pet care.
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.
“Danyel was great! She was very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. She is obviously an animal lover and made me feel comfortable right away. I loved the pictures she sent. My cat loved her!”

Currently unable to provide overnight visits or board pets in my home.
About: I have been a pet lover and caretaker my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, and reptiles, and helping out with my neighbor's farm animals. I have three years experience dog-walking, and another two years experience volunteering at a local animal shelter. I have cared for animals of all stripes (and spots), with various temperaments, activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I work from home Tuesday-Thursday with plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and attention! My weekends are also open. I take pet care very seriously, and will devote the time and attention your fuzzy baby needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I have a car and can do pick ups before 11:00 AM and drop off after 7:00 PM. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with lots of parks and sidewalks for outdoor time. My kitten grew up with other animals before adoption and will welcome all creatures big and small.
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.
“Sheylah took care of my dogs for a week with drop in visit She was always on time, very Friendly and always send check in messages with pictures of your dogs very friendly girl definitely hire her again.”
“Allyson was top notch! Our younger dog immediately warmed up to her when she visited before our trip, which is a rarity for our younger dog. We knew right then our dogs would be in great, caring hands for the week we were away. Our older dog has daily medicine he takes orally and Allyson was comfortable giving it to him. Allyson was reliable, a great communicator, and went above and beyond her responsibilities. Allyson has a warm, caring personality and was sensitive to our dogs' needs. We will definitely have her care for our dogs again!”
About: Lifelong dog owner, comfortable with any size. your pet's routine is always my priority. A lifetime of loving animals means your pet is in safe, steady hands. I'm currently available almost every morning except for Wednesday's. I am also available at nights to take care of your dog. I would love to be a reliable service for you. Our dog has an electric fence and is a bit clingy she doesn't stray to far. But I am used to working with dogs who like to wander and I am good at keeping an eye on your pet.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in both home and barn environments. For the past three winters I’ve house sat for two large dogs, staying in their home and keeping their routine consistent while their owners were away. I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I also work at a barn where many clients bring their dogs while they ride horses. I regularly help watch and care for these dogs, and I’m often trusted to look after them while their owners travel. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had many of my own over the years. I care for every dog with the same attention, patience, and responsibility I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. Always happy to send photo updates during walks or visits! Flexible schedule please inquire for specific times. I work at a barn taking care of horses from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I can do whatever is necessary after work or on my days off. I have always had dogs and am accustomed to caring for them on a daily basis, feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and keeping an eye on their well-being. I love animals and believe they deserve attention, care, and patience. I am a responsible and trustworthy person, so I always strive to ensure that the dog is safe, comfortable, and happy.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Liv! She cared for our two pups while we were away and sent us detailed Rover cards with pictures and messages and went above and beyond with her care for them! We were at peace of mind knowing our dogs were in the hands of an experienced pre-vet major and were loved on while we were away. We know our dogs will be excited for her to come again on our next vacation! An added bonus.. Liv also brought in our mail and packages for us without even being asked!
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
