“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time we have had Adam watch over our cats. He is wonderful. Cleanly and caring. Our cats are very nervous typically, but Adam takes his time to gain their trust and acceptance. He's truly great! Thank you Adam for keeping mufasa and sarabi happy!”
“Great communication! Saved my little guy from being locked in a cage all day. Hurriedly accepted a last minute booking. Extremely prompt. Happy to have been able to get her assistance.”
“We are very thankful to have found Shea to care for our pups while we are away! Having a high energy rescue pup we had been limited in our ability to do much traveling. Shea came for a meet and greet and after spending a short time with us we were all calm and comfortable. Shea has helped us several times and each time we have come back to a tidy home and happy, well-adjusted doggies! Thank you Shea.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Adara did a fabulous job taking care of Mr. Toby today during her two drop-in visits today! Toby clearly loves her by the photos she shared! I appreciate Adara's clear communication, and I feel comfortable/confident having her in my home while I'm away. Thanks, Adara!”

I’m currently a part-time barista, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I carefully plan my work around my Rover bookings so I can provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve I will care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: Grew up with a boxer, cared for her and walked her regularly growing up. Have cared for and walked relatives and friends dogs throughout the years. Regularly care for and board a number of shih tzus at once. Full time remote everyday but Thursday. Can provide walks during the day and frequent potty breaks as well as pretty much constant attention all days but Thursday. Roommates in the home who could provide breaks on that day. Work from home 4 out of 5 days a week so can provide regular walks and potty breaks, as well as cuddles and play time Space In my home for crate or dog bed if needed. I also love sharing a bed with them! First floor living, no stairs for senior pets, and no other pets to bug them
About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)
“Sarah is an amazing help! I used her consistently for almost 2 months while I was busy in school. She came by multiple times a week (sometimes with short notice) to check on my pup. She cared for him like he was her own and I never had any hesitations with her. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”
About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish etc. My biggest joke is I take care of other people’s pets so I don’t bring home any other animals. I own 3 cats myself. I work with all breeds and love what I do. I take care of all pets as if they were my own. I work full time at WestMass ElderCare. I am at work for 8 hours. . On my breaks I love giving pets and kisses to the fur babies! I own a 1 bedroom condo. I board on a case to case basis. Your dog must be ok with a leash, somewhat smaller space and be ok ignoring cats. (I own 3)
About: I have grown up with dogs and I have trained my grandmas dog before and I took a vet tech class and learned about training dogs as well I am currently working part time at stop and shop but I always have one or two days off and am free to spend overnights at your home:) I have a fenced in backyard and lots of toys in my backyard and have two wonderful fur babies of my own in my home their names are Lola and Harry

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Agawam
We highly recommend Mary Elizabeth! Our sweet, elder dog was comfortable and happy in her care. Marybeth took the time to get to know our dog prior to their first visit. She wrote things down and was communicative and responsive. Marybeth is trustworthy and although we don’t want to share her, we know she will do the same for your sweet pet!
We couldn’t be happier with Alexandra! We needed a last-minute dog sitter for the 4th of July weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old German Shepherd, Gus. She came by twice a day for drop-in visits and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Gus can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but he quickly became comfortable with Alexandra, which says a lot about her calm, caring approach. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Gus like he was her own. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was getting plenty of attention and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable, we highly recommend Alexandra. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !
Jill was 10/10. She was so kind, easy and really a breeze to work with! This is our second time using rover and we are really glad we found her. We had an unexpected family member who normally cared for our dog fall ill and she was really compassionate and understanding. We did a meet and greet via video prior to our vacation to get familiarized with one another, our home and our dog to see if it was a good fit. She was flexible, responsive and was very attentive to our dog. We appreciate all of her diligence with the care for Kya, our home, and even picking up her messes! We really value her honesty, integrity and hard work. Jill was really easy to work with which really made this experience feel so much better. Our dog also loved her and all of her play time. Jill we can’t thank you enough. And we can’t wait to work with you again in the future!

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 Agawam 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 Agawam 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 Agawam with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
