“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”

About: With over 25 years of dedicated pet care experience, combining a deep passion for animals with unparalleled expertise. Specializing in dogs of all breeds and sizes, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Reliable, professional pet sitting and walking services that keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.

About: Hi! My name is Ashlie, I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I live right across from the Coon Rapids Dam, so there are miles of walking trails right outside my door and a brand new dog park just a block away. I have dog sat often for a variety of dogs for about ten years now. I have a 12 year old westie named Merlin. We love hiking and going to dog parks and breweries together. He’s a very social dog and used to being around other dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I can take your dog on several walks and to various parks each day, they will come home tired and happy! Your dog is welcome to stay in my home or we can stay in your home if preferred. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!! Thank you for considering me! Currently I have a lot of availability. Please message me with the dates you need a sitter. I am currently available all week and during spring break. Please let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing my dog to your house. He does well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself.

About: I love all animals! I give them my full attention. Play with them, snuggle, pet, take to the park. I’m great at following instructions and going above and beyond expectations. I am very available! I work mornings in a coffee shop so I get off by noon. For longer jobs or ones with more intense care needed, I can take off to be there more full time. I can provide any care you need. I put the needs of pets above my own. Their safety and comfort is top priority , especially when they are away from their family.

About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know each one and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your dog enjoys an active day or prefers to relax and cuddle, I’ll do my best to match their routine and make them feel at home. I live in an apartment with easy access to walking paths and green spaces. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and you can enjoy peace of mind. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay.

About: Hello there my name is Katherine, ever since I was young, I have loved dogs and cats. This love has become a passion that has led me to work with them daily and have become a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am a Pet Sitter who has experience with all sorts of personalities, from nervous pets to overly friendly pets. I know leaving your pet can be scary and stressful whether it’s the first time or for hundredth time. I believe in providing a gentle, safe, humane way of treating pets while under my care is integral to my ability to deliver the quality, trusted care your pets and you deserve. As a Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter, my goal is to relieve the fear, anxiety, and stress of every pet and parent by ensuring your pets receive personalized, low-stress care by assessing their body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, calm environment within their own home, leading to a more enjoyable experience and better well-being for the pet regardless of whether we’re meeting for the first time or have an ongoing relationship. What does that mean? To serve pets under my care in a calm, low stress environment as I provide for their daily needs and deliver any needed home husbandry or medical care that’s required, while minimizing fear, anxiety, or stress in the pet, their parents and in myself. Why fear free? Good pet care means realizing when the pet is afraid and to help reduce their stress. I will not make your pet do anything they don’t want to. I will always take a considerate and gentle approach when caring for our pet and your concerns. Benefits for Pets 🐾 Reduced Stress and Anxiety: I am trained to recognize and de-escalate signs of fear and anxiety, creating a calm and secure atmosphere for your pets during those fearful times. 🐾 Improved Health: By minimizing stress, Fear Free practices can prevent stress-induced illnesses, improve the immune system, and lead to better overall health outcomes. 🐾 Positive Associations: Using positive reinforcement, distraction techniques, and other calming methods helps pets develop positive associations with their pet sitter and the home environment. 🐾 Personalized Care: My approach is based on the individual pet's personality, needs, and emotional state, ensuring a customized and comfortable experience. Benefits for Pet Owners 🐾Peace of Mind: Parents can be assured their beloved pet(s) are content and well-cared for in their own home, leading to a less stressful experience for everyone. 🐾Enhanced Pet Well-being: Knowing their pet is receiving care that prioritizes their emotional and physical health offers reassurance to owners. 🐾Preventative Care: Pets who are comfortable with their pet sitter are more likely to have positive interactions and have their needs consistently met. How It Works 🐾Body Language Assessment: I am skilled at reading pet's body language to understand their comfort level and detect any signs of stress. 🐾Positive Reinforcement: They use rewards and positive cues to encourage desired behaviors and build trust with the pet. 🐾Environmental Management: The environment is adjusted to be calming, which can include using soft lighting, quiet spaces, and incorporating pheromone diffusers. 🐾Calm Handling: Sits and interactions are conducted at a slower, calmer pace, avoiding methods that could increase stress. Please reach out if there are any questions! I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am still available to care for your pet depending on what you need. Boarding in-house weekends only. If your pet feels more comfortable staying at their home, I can stop in multiple times and stay the night if desired. When your pup stays here (we are unable to board cats), they will have a large backyard to play in with Tony and Ziva. They can sleep wherever they want, from dog beds to furniture/beds. They will be loved as if they were my own. If your pup/kitty needs to stay in their safe space, I can stop in multiple times. When I stop in to check on your pup/kitty, I spend time with them, giving them some love. Or if needed, can stay over for overnight care.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Andover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Andover is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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 5,356 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
