About: We are a dog-loving family with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. We understand that every dog is different, so we follow their usual routine and provide care based on their individual needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply relaxing at home, our goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with us. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive daytime care, regular walks and potty breaks, and consistent supervision to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have a half fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. It’s a great space for exercise and potty breaks throughout the day.
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.
“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!!”
“Olivia took great care of our cat, Onyx. She was great with communication, followed all his care instructions and played with him—I could tell Onyx had a fun weekend! We will definitely be asking Olivia to watch Onyx again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Tom as usual was a great sitter! He took excellent care of my senior cat and was able to administer oral liquid medication. I was able to be away with the peace of mind that my cat was under Tom’s care.”
“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!”
“Rachel was great to work with! She came by for several drop in visits for our dog who really enjoyed it! She was easy to communicate with and prompt for each appointment. Would recommend working with her!”
About: I grew up having 3 dogs and caring for them. They have bad anxiety so I’m really good with comforting anxious dogs. Also if they have certain medications and timing. I currently have a senior dog so I understand the stress of making sure they get proper care. Since I’m a college student my summer is more open so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I’m an early riser so I’m able to help in the mornings as well. The weekends are more tricky but I could make it work if needed. My own dogs do not do great with other pets due to their anxiety so I would not be able to bring pets back to my home. However, I am able to sit at a house and do over nights. I am comfortable going in to feed them or take them on walks as well.
About: I have hands-on experience with young puppies, large breeds, small dogs, and older pets that need extra attention. I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every walk and visit, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, ready to accommodate pet owner needs with daily walks or drop-in visits for their furry friends. I provide attentive care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their routines, ensuring they have fresh water and food, and offering playtime. I also prioritize their safety and comfort, keeping an eye out for any health concerns or signs of stress. Regular updates and communication with the pet owner help ensure peace of mind while they are away.
About: Two decades means I’ve seen it all—and handled it with patience, expertise, and genuine love. I know the difference between a playful nip and anxiety, between a minor upset stomach and something that needs attention. I take time to learn your pet’s quirks, routines, and preferences. Does your dog need that specific toy before naptime? Does your cat only drink from a running faucet? I’ve got it covered. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed notes about meals, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. You’re never left wondering how your furry family member is doing. I can schedule around being available for animals who need reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort. In your home, I maintain your pet’s established routine to minimize stress—feeding schedules, favorite nap spots, and playtime rituals stay consistent. I provide fresh water, engaging activities, and plenty of affection. For walks, I match your dog’s energy level and preferences. I keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular photo updates so you can see your pet thriving. Whether it’s administering medication, accommodating special diets, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet with the individualized attention they deserve while respecting your home.
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.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Olivia has carried out daily drop in visits for our bunny for two weeks and she has been a great sitter. Very reliable, caring, and good at handling the task which included giving food, water, hay, vegetables, and cleaning of the enclosure. As an emergency appeared and Albert needed meditation, Olivia did not hesitate to take on the task of giving him medicine. Communication has been very good and instructions were followed. I highly recommend Olivia as a trusted sitter and will not hesitate to book her again.
I’m so unbelievably grateful for Courtney as she took such great care of my boys! I very suddenly had a family member pass away and needed to leave town for the services without much notice. Despite the short notice, Courtney was able to accommodate my request and a couple of last minute changes to the schedule. Her communication throughout the entire experience was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to have someone else taking care of my two dogs. Those nerves quickly went away as soon as my boys met her, they absolutely loved her! Both of my dogs were so excited to see her and seemed to have a wonderful time with her, I was incredibly thankful that I didn’t feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was away. Courtney was very knowledgeable about dogs and, despite just meeting my two, she seemed to understand their behaviors and quirks instantly. She asked great questions about them and their care routine and listened to everything I had to say about them. Courtney was very timely when coming to care for my dogs and took the cutest pictures! The pictures showed me that my dogs were having a wonderful time with her. They were both fed exactly as instructed and they always had fresh water. I will 100% be booking with Courtney in the future!
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.

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 August 2026, there are 10,245 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.

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.
