“Karen cared for our two cats for three days, coming in twice a day. She took the time to read through the instructions and learn our cats' different personalities. Although not usually open to change, the cats became comfortable in her care. We appreciate the care she gave to our girls, came home to happy cats, and would trust Karen to care for them again.”

About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have 28 years of experience taking care of pets and many more taking care of my own family pets. My first job at 13 was at a kennel. I can administer all types of medications, I've had sick and elderly pets that needed shots, fluids and pills. I also was a wildlife rehabilitator and have experience with bottle feeding and wound care. I am skilled with senior pets, exotics and livestock. I live in Lunenburg MA with my husband surrounded by a variety of different pets from dogs and cats to reptiles to parrots to livestock. I am comfortable around any size pet and with aggressive moody pets. I'm currently working full time Monday -Friday but am available weekends all day and mornings/ afternoons during the week for drop ins. I cannot do overnight stays or boarding. I will do whatever to mimic how you care for your own pets in your home. Any schedule or routine you do I will follow. I will allow dogs outside at your own home off leash, but if you would like walks/ hiking off your property dogs must be leashed for their safety.

About: Hello there! I'm CJ, and I'm here to take care of your pets! I'm a huge dog lover, with 9 years of experience. I have experience with puppies, small, medium, and large-sized dogs. I live in Westford, MA and am willing to travel 15-20 miles to watch your pup. Personally, I have a Yellow Labrador Retriever. I'm very active, outgoing, friendly, and would love to meet your furry pal. I'd go hiking, running (if permitted) and take him/her on various walking trails!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 13 years, starting at a young age with my own family pets and continuing through friends, neighbors, and relatives who trusted me with their animals. I have experience with cats, rabbits, puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including feeding routines, daily walks, bathing, administering basic medications, and providing calm companionship. I’m patient, observant, and very attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets are never rushed or left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around an animal’s needs rather than fitting them into a rigid routine. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment at all times. I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and house rules. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of leash safety, and mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. In a client’s home, I keep the space clean, secure, and peaceful, and I always aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Trust, communication, and gentle care are at the heart of how I look after every animal.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ayer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ayer is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 9,065 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ayer. 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 Ayer. 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.
