This was the first time we've used a cat-sitter so we were a little nervous, but it couldn't have turned out better! Felix was incredible. He took the time to meet our cats and understand what they needed while we were gone. Our cats loved when Felix would visit and it really made us feel so much more comfortable knowing they had someone checking on them, playing with them, and most importantly giving them treats :) 5-Stars

About: I’m an experienced two-rescue owner who knows anxious dogs, reactive leashes, meds, and senior-dog care. Scout just passed at 13 years. Now, I have my six-breed, 6-year old mutt Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience is required with my dog Gem. For example, she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. ✅❤️😌🐶 My specialties: anxious/reactive dogs, seniors, multi-pet households, big dogs (40 pounds+), high-energy dogs I'm currently working project-based contract work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm a copywriter, so I'll see your requests for care ASAP! I'm available M-T, F 9-12. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, never leave dogs unattended outside, and send photo updates so you know they're safe and happy. In my home, dogs are treated like family: supervised at all times, given a calm space to decompress, and introduced slowly to my own two rescues only if they're a good fit. Safety, comfort, and clear communication come first, always.

This was my second time booking with her to look after my two cats, and she was wonderful yet again! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and provides great updates. It’s such a relief to know my cats are in good hands while I’m away. She has officially become my go-to sitter!

About: I grew up with pups and have been the primary caregiver to my pup for 5 years now. I understand pups’ needs and temperaments quickly, will make them feel at home and make sure their needs are met and boundaries are enforced. I’m currently working from home so I am always home with the dogs and have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and two living spaces where pups can chill out. I have a 20lbs 11yo Papillon who is very gentle and gets along with other dogs.

About: I love both cats and dogs. I'm a patient, nurturing, easygoing sitter who appreciates all breeds and temperaments. I've had animals since I was a child, from rabbits to cats and dogs. Making sure your pet has fresh food and water is important to me. I'll watch over dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as huskies. I especially enjoy talking with fur babies and playing with them. I love the outdoors and taking dogs for much-needed walks. Above all, I want your pet to be safe, well-fed, and happy. Your cat or dog will be in great hands with me! I currently have availability and am very flexible. I am willing to visit morning, daytime, and/ or night time. My routine will include your baby! I will follow instructions exactly as given to me, whether that includes crating dogs or administering medicines. If you prefer minimal updates, I will do so. If you prefer a lot of them, I will gladly do so. I love providing them, as well as pictures!

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.

About: I have a genuine love for all animals! I’ve had two dogs in the past. One I cared for until his last day and the other I took in as a puppy and whom I treat as part of the family. I’ve also had the privilege to bring home a foster kitten, which was such a gratifying experience. I am loving, patient and calm and I’m sure your pet will feel at ease with me. I look forward to meeting and spending time with your beloved fur babies! 🐶🐱 During the day, I work at a local school, so I can only take appointments until 4pm. Weekends I’m free and have more flexibility! During the summer, I will be available mornings and afternoons. Go ahead and send me a message if you with your preferred time and I will try to accommodate. 😉 I live in a small apartment, so preferably it would be best to watchyour pet at your home. So if you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy pet sitter, I’d be willing to stay overnight and ensure your doggie or kitty is well taken cared of! ❤️🏡

About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with some extra time on my hands, and I’d love to spend it caring for your furry family members. I grew up with cats and have had them my whole life. I lost my own cat about a year ago and miss having that companionship, so I would be honored to give your cat the same love and attention I always gave mine. While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I grew up around friends’/extended family's dogs and lived with an adorable pup during college. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals! I just graduated from college, so I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it caring for, playing with, and keeping your furry friends happy! Every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I’m ready to follow your instructions to a T to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Additionally, I will send updates with photos to keep you in the loop!

About: I have been raising a cat for more than 8years. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the longest time as well. I have hosted doggos from friends and neighbors for 3-5 times. I am pretty flexible on weekends. For weekdays, I need to leave for work early, so the visit is preferably after 3pm. On Monday or Thursday I get home after gym sessions so it will be after 7pm I respect all animal’s own personality. I do not get close at first especially if they showed fear or stress. I check food expiration before feeding. I do not go to areas that I do not need to go. I will come by with full covered clothes in case of accidents. I will treat your baby the same way I cherish mine. My boyfriend might come with me if I am taking care of a dog to help out in case.

Thank you so much! Heleen was great. Provided many pictures of the kitties, and left a detailed and thorough review. After only meeting my cats once before, she already seems to have a good understanding of their personalities and they’re already trusting of her (purring, meowing, and running up to her when she arrives!). We will definitely book Heleen again if we need cat care.

Xiangling took wonderful care of our cat. She is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. Qiuqiu quickly became comfortable with her. Every day, she follows the instructions and do the routines, also send us lots of photos and videos, along with thoughtful updates about how Qiuqiu was doing. Seeing him so relaxed and happy gave us huge peace of mind. Qiuqiu sometimes pees on the sofa so we always put pad on our sofa. She adjusted the shape and placement of the pad to help prevent accidents. It wasn’t something we specifically asked her to do—it was simply her paying close attention to his habits and finding a thoughtful solution. That level of care really stood out to us. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Xiangling to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely book with her again!

I can’t recommend Leonie highly enough! She truly went above and beyond while caring for my cats. Not only did she step in at the last minute when another sitter couldn’t make an evening visit, but she also helped solve an ant problem I was dealing with while I was away. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated, sent photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my girls were in good hands. My cats are very particular about who they trust, but she quickly won them over and became friends with them. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. Knowing my cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it possible for me to fully enjoy my trip. I would absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Belmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Belmont on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 June 2026, there are 12,893 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Belmont. 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 Belmont 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belmont. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
