About: I work in television production. I've been working on the tv show, Survivor since 2017, traveling to Fiji for 4 months every year. For the rest of the year I work on other shows remotely travel coordinating. I grew up with both dogs and cats. Golden retrievers have a special place in my heart! I currently have a very flexible schedule so I can provide walks or potty breaks throughout the day or even last minute needs like dinner feeding etc I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. There is a large park where we can safely walk. I never let dogs off leash and always am aware of the environment.

About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my homeby going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! **Dogs MUST be fully potty trained** DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe! PLEASE NOTE: - I work full time. On Fridays, I get home around at 1:45pm. - I will accept boarding OR daycare. I cannot accommodate both arrangements on the same days. - If you have one dog and more than one cat, I will accept them all. I will have a private, separate room for your cats. - I would like as much notice as possible to set up the pet care arrangement! I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he had Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If your pet needs their own private space, there is a private room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for regular, long-term schedules as well as occasional or one-time care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾

About: Hi I’m Shayla! Animals are truly my whole life. I’m 28 years old and since I was 16, I’ve worked at dog daycares, dog/cat boarding facilities, grooming salons, and I worked as an emergency veterinary technician at a few different hospitals. I have tons of experience and knowledge to give your pets the best care. I have experience with working with animals with behavioral issues, animals of all ages and stages of life, dealing with various medical conditions, administering medications, etc. I’m comfortable with any requests to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible! My schedule has recently become very flexible due to me taking on being a tattoo artist full time, so really the only thing I’ll have to work around is if I have tattoo appointments, which vary weekly. When I care for your pets in your home, i will keep everything clean and organized and respect your space and make your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to smaller mammals and reptiles. In addition to being a lifelong pet owner, I previously worked at a pet supply store, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and helped pet owners understand how to best meet their pets’ needs. Between my personal and professional experience, I’ve become familiar with the different personalities, behaviors, and care needs of all kinds of animals, and I’m confident in my ability to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am available Tuesday through Saturday during the mornings and afternoons, usually until 3-5pm. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets without having to rush. I’m happy to work around their usual routines and make sure they get the attention they need while you’re away! Since I’ll be caring for your pets in your home, I want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is for animals to have a familiar environment and a consistent routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m also mindful of keeping your home clean and secure, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing.

“Peyton was a wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. In addition, she and her cousin came to do a meet and greet with my pups and me and they were very friendly and obviously very good with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my three large rescue dogs in their care and they had a great time together. I plan to book her again soon!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.

About: I have always loved all types of animals! I have taken a few classes at UConn for canine and feline behavior and one animal training class. I own a cat currently, and I own and have alot of experience caring for tons of exotic animals from reptiles to amphibians and small mammals. I am very comfortable around all types of animals and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have volunteered back at home in NYC for SI Hope to care for kittens and older cats. I have done multiple dog volunteer days at the ACC so I am experienced with handling dogs and puppies alike. I’m also reliable, responsible, and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I am a seasonal worker so during the year I am a full time student. I have one to two classes a day as it's my senior year. I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and give them company! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! When caring for pets in their own home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you’re away!

Shannon was responsive, reliable, prompt, and sent me the cutest pictures of my dogs during her drop-in visits. Shannon gave me total peace of mind while I was away from my home. I will be using her in the future for any pet-sitting needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Ever since I was a kid it was my duty to take care of pets. Had 2 birds, 2 Guinea pigs, beta fish, cat and a dog. Cared for each one day in and day out. My first experience with animal care was probably age 11/12 caring for a family friend’s cats and dog. Daily walks, routine meals, etc. My favorite part of pet care is being able to meet each pet’s needs. Along with getting know their personalities. Funny enough I’m writing this paragraph whilst taking care of this pup while his parents are on holiday. Currently working 4 days a week as a dental hygienist. The other days are pretty much free. Would love to spend it caring for folks pets. Quite flexible, take your pets needs into consideration. Always diligent, poignant and kind. Animals have such love to give, it’s not in a their nature to hate. That’s why I care deeply for them. Now that I’m on my own, the apartment I live in only allows me to have my pet turtle. He will be 4 years old this upcoming fall. He’s a red eared slider with lots of personality.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Andover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Andover is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 2,135 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Andover. 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 Andover. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
