“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”
About: I am a huge animal lover I have dog and cat sat for multiple different families since I was 13 and would love to continue to do so throughout this summer I am currently working for myself as a gardener so I have plenty of time throughout my week to take care of any kind of pet. I make my own schedule so I can move my work around to fit different walking times and visiting times etc. I have a 6 month old puppy of my own so I have plenty of experience as well as patience when it comes to taking care of dogs and I also have two cats that I grew up with and love hanging out with them whenever I can. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own home to maximize their comfort while their people are away or at work.
About: Hi, I’m Betsy in Andover and I’m a lifelong pet owner. I have experience caring for and owning dogs, cats, chickens, gerbils, hamsters, and fish. I live with my 4-year-old dog Ruby and 7-year-old cat Bobby. I’ve cared for pets from 12 weeks to 14.5 years old and am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and seniors. Services include dog walking, backyard play, brushing, bathing, teeth brushing, exercise, training reinforcement, medication administration, overnight boarding (in your home), and drop-ins. I will provide daily photo and video updates. I’m reliable and detail-oriented. Please message me to discuss your pet’s needs or schedule a meetup. I was recently let go from my full-time position. I am in between jobs/contract roles and I am looking to fill up my days and nights. I have a very flexible schedule and I am available with little advanced notice. I would love to take care of your animals as if they were my own. I am a responsible pet caregiver and will take care of your furry family members as if they were my own. I provide updates : text, photos and videos.
“Courtney was awesome! She communicated well with me and sent pictures and updates that made me feel like my cats were being well taken care of. Thank you and I will be reaching back out!”
“Eleanor did a phenomenal job watching my two dogs over Memorial Day Weekend. Constant communication throughout the drop ins and provided picture updates as well. Highly recommend Eleanor and hope to rebook in the near future!!”
“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”
About: I've taken care of birds, chinchillas, puppies, and senior dogs for over 10 years. I am well-adapted to multi-step routines, and specific needs of each animal. Some examples are special diets, medication, bathing, and walking/running. I am currently fully available during the week and have a very flexible weekend schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets and their individual needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. During drop-in visits and walks, I will carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, or behavioral needs to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I will adapt my approach to best suit them. I will also treat your home with respect and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I have been a pet owner my whole life, from hamsters, to fish, to lizards and frogs, to guinea pigs, and lastly to dogs :) Pet Care for me works mostly on weekends but I am totally open to some school nights dependent on my class, practice, and game schedule! I will make sure to take good care of your pets! I will give them plenty of attention, play with them if they will, and of course feed them, freshen up their water, and keep them out of trouble!!
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have one of my own currently so I understand how nerve wrecking it can be leaving your pup in new hands! I ran my own dog walking, sitting & boarding business, worked at a doggy daycare & worked at a dog bakery so I have a great range of experience. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pup! I work from home all week which is what makes pet sitting so much easier. Having my own dog makes scheduling around their needs second nature! I love going on walks and getting the pets active to help get out some of their energy! I’ve used a lot enrichment toys with dogs I’ve watched and those are always super helpful.
About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their dogs. During the school year, I also volunteer weekly at Vermont English Bulldog Rescue, where I walk dogs of all sizes and energy levels, clean crates, and assist with feeding and daily care. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet with love. I work part-time with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home and your pet with care, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child. Throughout the years I have owned Shepards, Rottweilers and most recently Boxers. They have been a part of our family since before I can remember but after losing our last Boxer “babies” and with the kids now in college, I have decided to pour my love for dogs into taking care of yours. It was always stressful leaving our dogs so let me take some of that stress away from you. I promise to stay in contact, send pictures and give them a home away from home. I work 3 minutes from home with a typical workday being 8-4 with an hour lunch. Although I will say this is pretty flexible. However, my husband works from home so there is always someone home. I am happy to come to your home to take your dog for a walk or to let him/her out in your yard. I can also feed him/her and give any needed medications. Or in my home, they will be treated like our own. We do allow pets on the furniture if that is what they are used to and accept dogs that are not crate trained.
“Bill and I always feel better after Jill checks on Murphy! Jill is timely, reliable and sends photos of our girls, which always makes our day. Murphy can't wait to see Jill again!”
“Tom was terrific with my dogs. He arrived at the agreed upon time, spent lots of time ensuring they all got individual attention, and ensure every detail was handled properly for the pups. He is wonderful and I will definitely be using him again.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve had lots of experience, especially with my own dogs! Always super observant as well with all animals and will look out with the best care possible! Pet care fits into my daily routine by taking care of my two dogs that I have at home with feeding them morning and night! And taking them for walks, making sure they have enough water. And also giving medications when needed. I care for my pets by making sure they always are feeling loved and cared for! Taking them for walks, making sure they're getting enough exercise and playing with them for fun! Ensuring they’re always fed and have enough water!
“Joleen did an amazing job taking care of my cat Chuda. She was on time for every visit, left extremely detailed notes of how each visit went, took many pictures, and was great about giving Chuda attention with any leftover time she had after feeding and cleaning up after him. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a reliable drop-in cat sitter in Boston.”
“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”

Kathilin did a great job checking on my dogs while we were away for the day. She was on time for the scheduled visits and made sure they got outside and had fresh water and were confront able before she left. She sent detailed notes about the visits and shared photos. I feel really comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and have booked her again for a week long stay while we travel.
Ary did such a wonderful job with our cat while we were away for three weeks. Her communication was great, and she sent multiple pictures each day, which the kids loved seeing. I appreciated all the love and cuddles and care our pet received, we felt she was in very good hands!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,327 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Andover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
