About: I have two big dogs, a pyrenees, and a pyrenees mix. I also have 4 cats, and 2 pet rats. I have experience with puppies as well, as our dog has had 2 litters of puppies. We live on a small homestead, so every day I maintain our chickens, pigs, and bunnies plus the rest of our pets. I have loved animals my whole life! I’m a stay at home mom, so I am free almost every week day during school hours, (or earlier) and available to help out during the weekends! We have a tall chain link pen next to our barn, as well as an unused garage apartment that can be used for cats or small dogs.
“Rachael was the most attentive sitter to our dogs. She was very reliable and on time each day. She helped our anxious dog feel at ease and gave them very much needed love and pets! We will definitely be using her services again!”
“It was our first time using the app. Adelina was very patient as I worked through figuring it all out. She did a phenomenal job with out pups and kitten. You could tell in the photos that were sent they everyone of them loved her! We will definitely use her services next time we travel!”
“Ashlen is the best hands down. She was in constant communication with me if there were changes that needed to be made even outside of the app. She took such great care of my boys and we will be using her in the future”
About: I have grown up with many pets and have always loved animals. I train my own pets and have worked with a variety of animals. I have the energy to match those pets they needs to play and get out! I currently work odd hours so I can get pets out mid day or in the evening or help provide late night care! I have long breaks in the middle of the day to stop by and provide care. I will follow all rules and guidelines given by the client when caring for a pet in their home. I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own and always make sure to leave things tidy.
About: I have had dogs all my life, including all different kinds of animals. I lived in the country and so I had cows, chickens, cats, dogs and bees. I have a 14 year old English mastiff and a 2 year old cat. My schedule is pretty open so my available times are Monday: 12:00-5:00pm, Tuesday: 3:00-5:00pm, Wednesday: 3:00-5:00pm, Thursday: 3:00-5:00pm and finally on Friday I am available from 9:00-5:00pm. I feed my dog and clean up after him and give both my dog and cat water everyday. For other people’s pets, I would give them food and water, medicine if needed, and let them outside for however long they want them let them inside.
“We are really happy with her services, we requested last minute services and she acommodated us in her schedule. No problems at all, even having a hudge difficult to handle dog. Thanks!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and calm, reliable approach to pet care. I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from multiple families, including puppies, seniors, and pets with different routines and personalities. I’m comfortable providing patient care for older pets as well as consistent structure for younger ones. In addition, I’ve worked as a professional dog bather at PetSmart for 6 months, where I regularly handle dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. This role has strengthened my skills in safe handling, reading dog body language, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in new situations. I treat every pet as an individual and aim to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a bather at PetSmart, typically working 9–5 or occasionally until 6, with 2–3 days off each week. This allows me to offer flexible and reliable pet care around my work schedule. While my hours can sometimes vary, I prioritize clear and consistent communication and will always be upfront about my availability. I carefully plan my commitments to ensure each pet receives attentive, dependable care and plenty of time and consideration. I’m unable to provide care in my own home, as I have an older cat and an older dog who do best without new animals in their space. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home whenever possible, where pets are often most comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special instructions. I’m also able to take dogs on regular walks and provide attentive, calm care to ensure your pet feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Taylor took extra special care of our pup after her spay surgery! Gave her a medication as well without any issues. We have used Taylor multiple times and she is always great!”
About: Hi there! I’m so happy you are taking the time to look over my profile! Over the past years I have worked with dogs and cats to provide sitting and walking as needed per owner. My previous job was at a dog boarding facility which shows how much I love animals! They are all so unique in their own way! I am working full time but don’t worry! I have time in the mornings and nights to always be there for the furry friends! I have Sundays off and love to hangout and enjoy the weather! I have a fenced in dog park at my location but have had lots of experience handling dogs in backyards as my old home had half an acre yard. Whether it’s a small amount of space or huge, there is so much fun to have and moments to create!
“Loved working with Cortney and her husband. They were so good with our Yorkie. He didn’t even mind the insulin shots! I trust them and look forward to working with them again. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
About: I've been an animal lover since childhood. Growing up, I was the one who cared for our family pets, and I would often volunteer at the local shelter with my grandmother. I've continued these experiences into adulthood, and spending time with animals remains one of my favorite pastimes I’m new to the city, so I am able to caretake full time. Should my schedule change due to work I will update my calendar accordingly. I am currently only accepting sitting in the clients home based sitting and home visits/walks while I settle in to my new home. I believe keeping our pets schedules and routines are important. Discussion can be had on how you care for your fur babies on the daily, and as the sitter it is my goal to accommodate based on their needs. Let’s talk and see if we are a good fit 🙂

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Hannah and Dylan were fantastic! They loved Milo like he was their own and went above and beyond by doing little "house sitting tasks" like turning lights off and on, pulling in our trash cans and packages. We also got very detailed check-ins and pictures of them being active with Milo. Couldn't recommend them more. Will def book with them again! Also, they left us a sweet surprise upon return. So thoughtful! 🐾❤️

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

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.
