About: I grew up taking care of cats, and my current cat, Sookie, is 18 years old! My love for dogs runs just as deep. I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and recently joined my local animal shelter as a canine volunteer, where I am also currently fostering. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. Caring for Sookie into her golden years has given me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and extra love that older animals need. Senior pet owners can feel confident their companions will be treated with the gentleness and respect they deserve. I am experienced administering cat medications including inhalers, injections, pills, and liquids via syringe, and have experience giving dogs pill medications as well. Your pets are in capable, caring hands. I am currently working remote part-time so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's a one-off snuggle while you're away or a regular walking buddy to ensure your bestie is getting their steps in, I'm happy to discuss your pets' needs and availability. In my experience, pets are most comfortable in their own space so I am happy to care for them in their home. I follow the owner's routines, gladly provide updates with photos, and will treat your home with the same care I would my own. My home is calm and pet-friendly. I have a senior cat who has full reign of the second floor upstairs. Blocked by a gate, I can host pets downstairs with limited or full reign of the first floor. NOTE: At this time, I am fostering a shelter dog in our downstairs first floor space and will not be able to host your furry friends in my home overnight.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 6+ years. I have walked, fed, and bathed dogs before. I am an animal lover and my hope is that the care I provide puts a smile on the pet and owners faces Work from home and available to house sit/walk/take care of animals. I am also available on the weekends. Can be flexible depending on your needs. I base pet care on the owners preferences, needs, and wants. Please let me know anything your pet needs, schedule, routine, enjoyed activities of your pet etc
“Zachary was great! We were away for the day and he came by a few times throughout the day to walk our two labs. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch our pups again some time soon!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a family dog starting when I was 10 years old, which gave me years of experience caring for and spending time with dogs. Later, I had my own dog for 12 wonderful years. He was a huge part of my life, and caring for him taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, consistency, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m excited to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away! I work overnight shifts so I’m generally available during the daytime for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can be flexible with scheduling and will work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and play safely. I currently have no pets so they will get all the attention they deserve.
About: I offer more than just feeding and walking. I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment for your dog. I have hands on experience with both puppy training (including potty training, basic commands, and socialization) and senior dog care (gentle walks, administering medication, and extra comfort for aging joints). I pride myself on learning each dog’s unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s high energy playtime, calm cuddle sessions, or special dietary needs, I adapt to give your pup the care they deserve just like they’re my own. I work a 9–5 on select weekdays, but my weekends are completely open for overnight stays. I also specialize in afternoon sitting—perfect if you’re heading out on a date, running errands, or just need a little “me time.” Flexible, reliable, and ready to keep your pup happy while you take a break! 🐾 I live in a safe, pet-friendly gated community with its own secure dog playground, plus the Quincy Dog Park just around the corner—perfect for plenty of playtime and socializing! 🐕✨
About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely communicative throughout the whole trip, and Rick absolutely loved her — she was even able to brush out a knot in his fur (and he usually hates being brushed!). We will be using Jessica again! ❤️”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 9 month old Golden Retriever. Through raising and training him, I’ve gained experience with puppy routines, leash walking, feeding schedules, crate training, potty training, and handling high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a young Golden Retriever of my own. My schedule allows me flexibility for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your fur babies throughout the week. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, especially someone new. I’m very attentive, patient, caring, and I always want all pets to feel comfortable and loved while in my care. Raising my Golden Retriever has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm and positive environment for dogs. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own.
“While I was away on vacation, Kat took care of my cats and did a spectacular job! Upon meeting Kat, both Mason and KiKi loved her immediately and felt comfortable with her which put me at ease. She is very courteous, accommodating, and flexible given my hectic work schedule. I could tell she took care of them very well since they seemed very relaxed when I came home—other cat sitters have left my cats feeling anxious and are very fearful when I get home—this wasn’t the case with Kat! She went above and beyond and cleaned the pet cans and some unexpected vomit that occurred during my vacation. Overall, I highly recommend Kat and will use her as a cat sitter again!”
About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.
About: I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping owners informed with regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pet with a fun, safe, and loving experience. I love providing families with peace of mind by giving their pets the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping a pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I will follow and respect every rule for your furbabies. I not only respect you but also your pet. Please consider me for your pet
About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was young. I currently have a 1 year old Aussie who i walk daily and love spending time with. i love all dogs and would love to meet your pups! I have my own transportation and will be able to stop by at any time! my schedule is very flexible and I will be able to work around your schedule! I can easily crate your dog if needed and have experience in giving medications. I am very good with dogs that are anxious or aggressive when around other dogs and will keep them out of situations that may be too much for them
“Lindsey was the best, very responsive and attentive in taking care of our cat and everything related to him at our house. Bruno was happy to have her taking care of him and keeping him company while we were away!”

About: Holly is the founder and primary dog walker at Down With Dogs Pet Care based in Weymouth, MA. She has cared for animals since a young age and is licensed, insured, and pet CPR and first-aid certified. Rescuing her dog, Rumi, and training her inspired Holly to want to work more with animals. She found that reactive dogs especially respond well to her calming nature and clear communication style. She also has a senior cat with medical needs named Coco who is her first baby. Holly has a special place in her heart for the kittys too! With a background in Marketing and as a registered yoga teacher, Holly started caring for her neighbors’ dogs in 2022 while they were away on travel. Four years later, she worked with a local dog walking company before starting Down With Dogs in 2026. Her signature offerings include dog walks, hikes, small play groups and drop in visits during the day time while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. Holly love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet’s routine while offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! Message Holly to discuss your pet care needs today! I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allerton
We had a great experience with Jill! She braved a nor'easter numerous times over the course of a few days to ensure that our cat Dusey got her insulin shots every 12 hours. And when our flight was inevitably delayed coming home she willingly came back for an extra visit to keep Dusey on schedule. We appreciated her detailed updates and cute photos as well!
I would highly recommend Amanda, as she’s a delightful and positive young woman who clearly loves animals and took very good care of our two dogs. She took notes during our meet n greet and made sure to attend to all their needs. We would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
