About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.
“We had Stella stay at our home for 5 days and 4 nights to watch our 3yr Westie and our Bulldog who is almost 11. She was wonderful with both and handled all the problems and care that goes into an 11yr old Bulldog which included medications. We had daily photos sent to us and she left our home just the way it was when we left, ok maybe better. She accommodated our flight delay by coming back for one last visit which we really appreciated. Usually when we get back from a getaway our dogs go crazy to see us but this time they looked a little disappointed when the door opened and it wasn’t Stella. We highly recommend her and look forward to future travels knowing we have some one like her to stay with the pups.”
“I can’t thank Vanessa enough. I was away in Istanbul for 28 days, and she stayed in my home to care for my dog,. She treated him like a baby—with love, attention, and incredible care. Every day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt like I had left Coko with family. I returned home feeling calm, happy, and incredibly grateful. Vanessa is professional, warm, and trustworthy. Thank you for everything!”

“Laura was amazing! Very professional and warm from the very beginning. Also very attentive and communicative throughout the process So grateful that we get to have her watch her animals. Looking forward to the next sit. 😊”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around dogs and cats. Whether they are my own or friends', I have always been an animal lover. I have had numerous opportunities to take care of furry friends and love to do so, especially as I am currently a traveling graduate student. Over the years, my experience has ranged from daily feedings and active walks to creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. From one animal lover to another, I value bringing a high level of responsibility, clear communication, and detail-oriented care to pet sitting. I deeply respect every animal's unique routine and make it a priority to treat your pets like my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. You can always count on timely photo updates and total peace of mind knowing your best friend is in dependable hands. During the week, I am off by 3:30pm and have generally an open schedule during the weekends to provide care, play and walks of many sorts. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting services exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. With a highly dependable vehicle and strong time-management skills, you can count on me to always arrive on schedule. My top priority is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dedicated, high-quality care, strictly following your routine, and keeping you updated every step of the way so you can have complete peace of mind while away.
“I am so grateful with Marina. She came home on time and was so attentive and took care of Candela as she was me. Experienced with elderly and medically compromised dog. She sent pictures and videos so I was informed about my dog at all times. Candela had a stress free time when I was away. ? Thank you, Marina”
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
About: As a result of my line of work, which involves constant interaction with dogs, I have developed a deep affection for various breeds of dogs. I’m currently in school, but i’m available 3-4 times a week and the weekends i’m completely available. Monday- anytime, Tuesday- afternoon/evening, Thursday-afternoon/evening, Saturday- anytime and Sunday-anytime . I’m hoping my schedule fits others as well. I will ask my clients where and what I can use to create a safe environment for their dogs. I personally want my client to have trust in me.
“Nicole was excellent! This was the first time we have ever had an overnight house sitter and she did a great job taking care of our two male Shar Peis. She even came by a couple days in advance to meet them briefly so that they would be comfortable with her on the actual evening!”
“We had a lovely experience working with Vasil. He stayed in our home for the weekend to look after our 2 yorkies and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were that they were being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Vasil and hope to work with him again in the future :)”
“Emily was an amazing in-home sitter for my two senior dogs, one of which is handicapped with special medical needs. Emily was very communicative and took the time to make sure she was prepared to take care of my dogs before the stay. While I was gone she made sure to update me with photos and videos so I wouldn’t stress. I came home to 2 happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. So I would definitely recommend Emily!”
About: as of right now, the only experience i’ve had on my own taking care of pets is dog-sitting for a nice lady in miami, she allows me to stay in her home and look after her dog. aside from that, i’ve had pets all my life a dog and three beautiful cats with the addition of more cats throughout the years. i’m extremely flexible and can be available to watch your dog whenever you’d like. right now i’m unemployed so any day of the week is good. all i need from you are instructions, i’m a caring person who will put in the effort to make sure your pet gets what they need.
About: I have many many years of experience with dogs. Growing up with them was the best! I simply love them and would take care of them! I work from home and love spending time at my place. I will be your dog’s best friend and they’ll be my best friend! While I work on my projects I love having them next to me giving each other company and taking walks at the beginning and end of the day. I get everything ready to make them feel at home, allowing them to feel safe and most importantly, loved! I have a deeply understanding in dog body language. If the service is in their place I’ll make myself comfortable so they don’t feel like I am a stranger at their territory.
“Summer was so awesome!! She is very responsive and took amazing care of our babies!!! She sends lots of pics! We were so amazed at how much she loved our babies! We will definitely be using her again!”
“I had Aleja house sit with my dog Gemini last week. She is obviously very at ease with dogs and bonded with my Gemi quickly during our meet-and-greet visit. She followed all my instructions closely while I was away and sent lots of pictures and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving Gemi in her care and recommend her highly.”
About: I have been dog sitting and walking for many years. I am always caring and gentle with the pets I care for. I am also in the healthcare field so I know the patience and nurturing required to care for animals. As a student, I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your animal. I have many breaks throughout the day for walks and pet care. I will also be home studying on most weekends. I will always play close attention to your pets needs. Wether it be trips to the dog parks or daily grooming. I have a lot of space in my home where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Rhokia was a wonderful dog sitter who took amazing care of my very attached Cavalier, Jax, while I was away on a work trip. Each day, she sent detailed updates about their walks and excursions, along with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought him toys! She made sure he was well-fed, gave him treats and plenty of affection, and most importantly, truly cared for and loved him while I was away. She was also a respectful guest in my home and left everything just as she found it—clean and organized. I can’t say enough great things about Rhokia and the exceptional care she provides. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.
Fiona was amazing with our fur babies. We went on an extended trip for our wedding and honeymoon. Fiona sent us video and picture updates that made us feel as ease during our travels. My bulldog even got himself a girlfriend, played so well with Luna. Fiona went above and beyond I would definitely love for her to watch our babies again.
We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our 2 dogs received! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brianna stayed in our home and cared for our fur babies while we were out of town for 4 days. She came for a meet-and-greet prior to our trip, and from the moment we met, we (and the pups) felt completely at ease. She treated our pups like family—lots of playtime & cuddles, —and kept our home spotless and peaceful. The updates and photos she sent each day were such a comfort and let us see just how relaxed and happy our dogs were. We were able to enjoy our trip thanks to the peace of mind that our dogs were in her loving and capable hands. We are booking with her again to stay during an upcoming trip! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind-hearted, and reliable sitter. 💕🐾

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Andover walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Andover maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Andover 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!

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 .
