“Magnoly did an incredible job caring for our babies! This was our first Rover experience, and she immediately put us at ease by coming to meet us and our dogs a few days before our stay. She was punctual, kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and sweet messages, administered medication for one of our dogs, and kept them on their normal routine. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we got home, which told us they had a wonderful time! We would absolutely recommend Magnoly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies. ❤️”
“We felt so comfortable with Katelyn coming into our home and taking care of our pets. From the pictures she took, they were definitely well taken care of. We really appreciated her coming by while we were away.”
“Catherine was great with our kitties. Very affectionate and kept us up to date. She also shoveled a bit to clear snow from the stairs and spread some salt for us which was much appreciated!”
“Holly is easily a 5/5 dog walker! I would rate her a 6 out of 5 if I could. We needed a dog walker for a week that we'd be out of town, but we were nervous about hiring one for our 14-year-old Border Collie, Riker, since he can be a difficult handful even for us! My 83-year-old mother was able to take care of Riker's feeding but couldn't walk him. He has always been protective and defensive against strangers, but as he's gotten older and his vision and hearing has started to go, he's also prone to getting surprised and spooked. We were delighted to discover that Holly not only had experience with older dogs like Riker but also was able to put him at ease! Over the course of the week, Riker went from barking at Holly when she approached to coming to her for pets and treats and looking forward to her arrival. From day 1, Holly provided us with the most perfect, adorable photos of Riker we have ever seen, which is impressive because he's always been extremely camera shy and hard to photograph. If you're not sure if you should hire Holly, take it from the owner of an extremely fussy Border Collie: Holly is the best, and she will make sure your dog is cared for perfectly!”
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.
“Arianna was great with my dog Louie. She hung out and played with him in our yard and took several pictures! It’s nice to have someone watch your pet while you’re gone as if they’re their own. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I am a first year Veterinary student with over 8 years of animal experience. I love all animals and have worked with many species from rabbits, dogs, cats, and farm animals! I have precious roles in vet hospital settings and am knowledgeable of dog and cat behavior. Comfortable with administering injections/fluids and administering oral and topical medications. Experienced and patient with working with senior/shy pets. I am excited to work with you and your pet! I’m currently in school but will be home during breaks and around the holidays! I have a lot of free time aside from doing college stuff so I’d love to spend it hanging out with animals! We would walk our dog a couple times a day as well as giving him regular mental stimulation (lick bowls, training sessions, play time, etc.) and we’ve been crating him since he was a puppy.
“Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!”
“Carina was great at taking care of Missy! She checked in on time each day and spent time playing with her, fed her, cleaned the litter box as we had requested her to. Our little Missy became comfortable with her on the first meet and greet itself. We will definitely hire her again when needed.”
About: Having grown up in a multi-pet household myself, I know first-hand the level of care and dedication that owning pets entails. I began petsitting when I was 12 years old, and have greatly enjoyed doing such in the years since. Friends, family, and neighbors have entrusted me on many occasions to take care of their pets. Aside from petsitting, I worked at a doggy daycare for nearly two years, where I built genuine and deeply meaningful bonds with all of the dogs in my care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, temperaments, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with training young puppies, including my own. I am very knowledgeable in reading animal body language and understanding animal behavior. I understand that every dog or cat is unique in their own way and that building trusting and meaningful relationships with animals take time and patience. With this, I try to meet every cat or dog where they are at and adjust my approach where necessary. For example, with shy or timid pets, I like to give them the space they need and work slowly to build trust and confidence to where they are fully comfortable in my presence. I am committed to making every visit a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I’m currently working part-time at the moment, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care with your pet(s). The routine for each visit will depend on your pets’ needs, personality, temperament, and energy level. I will send pictures and updates of how your pet is doing by text throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pets have an positive and enjoyable experience, get plenty of play time/exercise, enrichment, and attention. Your pets’ safety is of utmost importance, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure the environment is safe at all times. This could include but not limited to making sure to close or lock doors behind me, gating off rooms that are off-limit, crating your pet at night or when I leave, keeping things your pet may get to out of reach or locked away, following medication or feeding schedules, taking dogs’ out more frequently or at given times throughout day, being respectful of any allergies you, your household, or pet(s) may have. This will depend on you and your pets’ needs. As always, I’ll send updates and pictures throughout the day.

“Carina was so great! From booking to sitting, the experience with Carina was so smooth. She started off the booking by setting up I meet and greet with us so she got to know our pup prior to watching him. I loved that! She was so sweet and clicked with him immediately. For the sitting, she was thoughtful, on time, and provided the most thorough notes and pics that we really appreciated! In the rare moment she was late, she made sure to reach out ahead of time to let us know. She’s the best! Thank you Carina!”
“Sophia was great! She completed two drop in visits for our puppy! She was timely and communicated great! Shared pictures and how her visit went! Our puppy Olive loved her!”

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.
Eleanor was a wonderful, loving cat sitter to our two kitties! They warmed up to her very quickly, which is unusual for them. Clearly they enjoyed her visits and we knew they were in good hands with Eleanor! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and thorough pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Andover is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 10,190 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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
- 93% 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 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.
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.
