“So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!”

About: Hi, I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals. I have had and cared for your everyday pets like cats and dogs and then your not so "normal" pets like a baby skunk, racoon, and squirrel. I love all animals. I have 1 male cat and 1 female cat that are both fixed and up to date with their shots. They are very friendly and get along great with other animals.I have a 14 year old daughter that helps me a lot with feeding and walking our “guests”. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard in the back. We live close to 3 very beautiful parks. Your pet will be very comfortable here and well cared for. We will treat them like one of our own fur babies. The living room is open for all the pets to sleep in and we have plenty of room for crates if needed. My pets sleep on the couch but there is room for beds and other sleeping materials. My daughter loves to share her bed too, which is mostly where the pups sleep when they’re here. Excellent references available upon request I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m home late afternoon during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also home on most holidays. I have many repeat clients that love the freedom of being able to enjoy their vacation and feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for by someone that knows them and loves them. I am with the pets for most of the day and while I’m at work I have 2 cameras set up where I can see them at all times and talk to them. I’m open to house sitting but wouldn’t be able to spend all day there just because I have my daughter and my pets at home. But after work I’m able to stop in and handle anything that needed to be done. I’m home by 3:30 during the week and home all day on the weekends. During the summer my daughter is home and helps with bathroom breaks while I’m at work. I have an unfenced yard for the pups to play. We just keep the leashes on while we’re out. I can accommodate any food restrictions and administer oral/syringe medications as needed. I’m also available any time while your pet is staying with me, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”

About: I love that no two pets are quite alike, and I find so much joy in getting to know their little quirks and figuring out what makes them happiest! My experience with rescue dogs has taught me the value of patience and earning an animal’s trust. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specialized care instructions, and adapting to different routines! Over the next month, my schedule will be shifting to working at my once full-time corporate job, to working at the same company part-time, on Mondays and Tuesdays. This will leave the rest of my week open for pet care! I’ll be completing self-paced coursework around my pet-sitting commitments, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize visits, accommodate different routines, and spend quality time with the animals in my care! I believe safety starts with being attentive, prepared, and consistent. I listen carefully to owners’ instructions, make sure I understand each pet’s needs, and take extra care with things like leashes, doors, and surroundings. I pay close attention to body language and how dogs respond to unfamiliar situations, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable and avoid unnecessary stress. I also prioritize clear communication so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

Kathilin is our go-to sitter every time we go away. We have a highly anxious dog who has aggression with other dogs, so she cannot be boarded. We have trusted Kathilin to take care of our dog in our home several times, and every time, she provides excellent care. She spends time with our dog, takes her for walks and feeds her. And she gives consistent updates. We never have to worry about our dog when she is in Kathilin’s care! We will happily to continue to trust Kathilin with the care of our dog.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Andover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Andover is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 9,642 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andover. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
