“Carol was absolutely amazing! I have a very anxious/reactive dog and we rarely get to go on any vacations because of this. Carol made time for us, even though she was just getting over being sick to come meet with my dog Gio prior to our trip and was extremely kind and understanding with him. She let him warm up to her, and with every visit he got more and more comfortable. Carol gave us detailed reports everyday with many pictures of Gio and it gave so much peace of mind to me and my family. She made sure our fur baby was taken care of and got the one on one time he needed. I could not recommend her more! Thank you Carol!!!”
“Kathleen was so great taking care of my cat! Kathleen understood the rhythm of his (annoying) feeding routine, played with him and gave him lots of love and pets during her visits. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a high-energy, caring and respectful pet sitter with 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities and needs, including dogs who require extra exercise, medication or specialized care. I have experience providing dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I love getting to know each dog and their individual routine. Whether your pup needs a long walk, plenty of playtime, medication on schedule or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet and your home. I’m reliable, communicative and attentive to the little details that help dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to make sure your pup gets plenty of love, exercise and attention while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I am currently between jobs so have time for walks and check-ins throughout the day. Overnight stay availability fluctuates depending on the week and my schedule. I cannot bring pets into my own apartment but am super comfortable staying at your home! I will show your home the same care and respect that I show your pet.
“Eunae was great with my somewhat difficult cat! I think her calm presence is very comforting for an anxious animal. She was very responsive and accommodating and sent great updates. I felt like Umi was very happy to see her and well taken care of. Thanks for taking care of my little Umi!”
“Such an incredible sitter! Our babies were very well taken care of. Above and beyond service. Very informative and detailed check ins. We would highly recommend anyone to book with Meichen & Tyler.”
About: Hi there! I'm Dan, a sitter with about a year of experience of dog sitting. For as long as I can remember I've been surrounded by dogs, be it at home or at a friend's or family member's home. My home is accommodating and in a very walkable neighborhood (Arlington Heights!) with an abundance of parks and recreational areas. I typically sit dogs aged 2 and up. I work at the Arlington School District, so I am usually free in the afternoons after 3:00 pm on weekdays and am usually free all day on weekends. When I have a pet to sit, I am very attentive of their needs and will try to take them out for a walk at least once every 2 hours. I have a wide, open backyard, and although it is unfenced I always keep pets outside on a leash. I can accommodate for any special needs your pet may have, be it administering medicine or bathing.
“Shawn did a great job and took very good care of our cats, including making sure on of them got her pills. She clearly cares a lot about cats and was very communicative, including lots of pictures.”
“Absolutely amazing care! Pictures and updates were thorough and Mackenzie made sure our cats were comfortable with her by taking the time to give them space and slowly get used to her. 100 would recommend!”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover and pet parent. I grew up with two wonderful big dogs and many, many cats. Compassionate care and play with animals is central to my life. When I lived abroad on fellowship in Indonesia, I devoted my free time to caring for a colony of feral cats, taking them to the vet, building shelters, and supplying their food. Now that I am stateside and newly graduated from Harvard Divinity School, I am excited to reenter the world of animal care. I am comfortable walking dogs of all ages and sizes, and am more than willing to match their pace and let them take the lead onto their favorite routes. When interacting with dogs, I make sure to practice patience and compassion, and will give them as much love or space as they need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or for more information! I am looking forward to connecting ☺️ I am in grad school and work part time, so early mornings or evenings work best for me! If it works for you, I would also be very open to doing readings and writing papers while keeping your pet company :) I am a firm believer in boundaries and will respect your pets’ needs for space when needed. I also understand that some pets need a lot of play and am happy to oblige! I am more than willing to work with what is best for you and do my best to exceed your expectations.
About: I grew up with dogs as pets. Took care of Duke! Our family dog and trained him. He was a Labrador Golden Retriever mix who loved us unconditionally. Ever since Im waiting to commit to a new furry family member until I finish school. The Job I currently have allows me to set my own schedule. I love walking and dogs! Taking care of your furry one will be my pleasure! I can feed your furry family member at your & their regular feeding schedule. I can take regular walks every few hours and can take to dog parks if that is okay with you.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Katie is so nice and very professional! Joni warmed up to her right away, and I can tell she is going to be in great hands when Katie visits her! I’m so grateful, thank you Katie!!”
About: Hello! I live by the Charles River in Watertown. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I enjoy dog walking and pet drop-ins for pure joy. If you book with me, seeing your pet will be a highlight of my day. You can count on me when it comes to communication with you and love for your baby. I bring toys and treats, and can work with shy furry friends. Follow my journey at maggiewalksthe617 on Instagram I work full time from home in HR as a comp analyst. My schedule is very flexible. I want to schedule walks adhoc during the day or after work! When entering a clients home I will treat the area with care, make sure to lock up, check for water for the animal. I will do my best to find an appropriate outdoor/garage trash for the waste as well.
“Julia was fantastic- we really loved her watching our two cats! It was important to us that they have play time and attention while we were away, and they clearly loved her.”
About: I am a freelance artist by trade, I'm looking to earn some supplementary by putting to good use my love of animals and experience as a lifetime pet owner. I have been the primary caretaker for animals basically my whole life, growing up alongside furry siblings as long as I can reliably remember, including several dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and jealousy problems. My mother trained as a vet tech and taught me a lot, and is always happy to help even now if I need an extra hand or some expert advice. I have trained dogs, including potty training and dissuading problem behaviors (excessive barking, begging for food, etc.) I have experience caring for dogs in individual, group, and playgroup settings and love all animals. I cannot drive but I can engage in light to moderate dog walking just fine! I use public transport and ridesharing to get around. If you have any further questions about what might be within my wheelhouse feel more than free to ask! As a freelance artist, my schedule for work is fairly flexible and I can plan around pet care time and stays away from home with a lot of freedom, making it possible for me to keep my schedule fluid and make the animal in my care the priority of my routine. I have an apartment in Arlington I spend most of my time at but it's not the best for pets so for boarding jobs I visit and make use of my parents home in Winchester. They and their dog love the company! It has a fenced outdoor area where dogs can easily run, play, and of course go to the bathroom. It is accessible via a basement door and most dogs get the hang of it pretty easily (but I am happy to provide extra help for dogs who struggle with stairs or need other extra accomodations.) It is also home to my parents who love furry guests, and of course Emma, an extremely friendly and patient English Setter who adores playing hostess! I am also of course happy to visit other homes to care for pets, both for drop ins and overnight. I will always take the safety and cleanliness of your home seriously! In other's homes I'm happy to adapt to what resources are available and what areas and routines the dog is generally used to and comfortable with in their own usual environment!
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Belmont
Hillary was wonderful with a drop-in visit for our puppy Gus. We booked with pretty short notice and she made it work and feel simple. Hillary was communicative the whole time, sent updates and photos, and clearly loves animals! We would absolutely book her again!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was able to help me out with a last minute request, and I really appreciated that she took the time to meet with me beforehand so we could make sure everything was a good fit before officially booking. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so thankful I found Emily, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Sydney is amazing!!! She has lots of experience working with dogs and it shows. Mine can be a bit rowdy at times but she had them sitting and calm within like a minute of being there! She’s super sweet and communicative as well. We would 100% use Sydney again. I had 0 concerns after meeting her and our experience was great!
We were so grateful that Kerry took such great care of our dog while we were away--her sensitive and thoughtful approach won his trust, and her detailed and quietly humorous reports and many photos made us feel almost as if we had been present. Thank you, Kerry--we very much hope to work with you again!

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 Belmont 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 .

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.
