About: I have been taking care of my friends dog for 4 years. I love taking dogs on walks and I can drop in your dogs and check on them! I can do boarding but mostly on weekends since I work Monday through Friday until 4:30pm I can take dogs on walks after work and weekends during mornings and nights as well! I can check on them during the evenings as well I will follow instructions that are provided to me by the owners! I will build a relationship between the dogs and myself and the owners!
About: I have 3 years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant/Technician at a family owned animal clinic operated by a mother and son team. In my role, I assisted with patient care, administered medications as directed by veterinarians, monitored animals during treatments and procedures ,educated pet owners on proper care all awhile treating all animals like my own! I have experience working with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress and provide attentive, compassionate care. I am dedicated to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently working full time at a local vet clinic and have 2 hour lunch breaks which gives me the time to walk or give your furry friends a potty break! I’m also free almost every weekend! I’m willing to be flexible to make sure your dog/cat is taken care of :) Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my 3 years of veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those with special needs. I follow each pet's routine closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep owners updated with photos and messages.
About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet. I promise to make sure your fur baby is loved, exercised, fed and watered while in my care!
About: I grew up on a farm in Kansas, have a degree in Biology and have been around animals my entire life. Anyone who knows me, will attest that I pay lots of attention to their pets. I have been asked to watch houses and pets for years by family and friends who don't trust anyone else. I have kept dogs, cats, sheep, cows, ducks, fish, reptiles, spiders, insects, birds and lizards as pets. I normally work a 9-5 schedule Monday through Friday and live alone in Rose Hill, KS. Most evenings I go for a walk when it cools down because I love being outdoors. On my walks, I usually end up petting several neighborhood dogs and cats that eagerly await my attention. In general, I try to observe and match the energy level and interests of a particular pet. My day job involves going into lots of homes with pets. I get plenty of practice meeting new pets and needing to win them over fast.
About: I cannot think of a better way to spend a day than walking or taking care of your fur baby. I currently have two large dogs myself. One is a 3 yr old golden doodle and the other is a 7 yr old mix rescue. I believe our pets are our family and deserve to be treated like it. I have had both my dogs since they were puppies and have been through all of the training stages. I grew up with dogs and cats around the house at all times and feel confident in taking on any situation that may arise. I have been around young puppies and senior dogs that need extra attention. I currently am freelancing my work and have open availability to fit your needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to helping you give the best life to your doggos! I have open availability to accommodate your needs. I am currently freelancing in work and eager to schedule weekly drop ins, walks, or your emergent need for help with your pet. I will acclimate to your pets environment and what they are used to. Animals are creatures of habit, so I will do everything to make the transition and your time away as smooth as possible for them. The animals in my home are trusted to be out, have a doggie door for easy access and sleep in bed with me.
About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever. It's always made me happy to care for dogs and cats, and I'm so excited to be able to help other dog and cat parents take care of their babies!! I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 2 dogs and four cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here! Although I have family I live with and a fenced in yard so they roam as much as they can of course and are very happy babies. My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Hannah and Dylan truly went the extra mile for our puppy, Scout. Their communication was exceptional, making the entire process seamless. Scout absolutely adored her time with them, and we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend their services!
Justine was the absolute best! She went above and beyond for our pup and we couldn’t appreciate her more! She gave great updates and made sure our Louie was well loved while we were away! She is so friendly and nice and I will always book her for when we go out of town. Thank you a million Justine! We appreciate you more than you know ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Andover is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 357 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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 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.
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 Andover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
