About: I grew up in a house with 5 dogs, so I’m not unfamiliar with dogs and the amount of care that is necessary when looking after them. I currently do not own any dogs, but that clears up my availability and makes me the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I typically go on a walk first thing in the morning and in the afternoon, so your dog is guaranteed to have physical activity every day. Your pup will have a safe and trusted environment with lots of green space to run around in. Feel free to reach out for additional details.
“Wendy was so wonderful and kind! Our dogs were well taken care of, and she was so responsive and sweet. I definitely recommend Wendy if you need a dog watcher you can trust!! :)”
“We needed someone to watch over our little puppy and I am happy to have found Kathleen for that! Communication was great and we were really happy with the detailed updates - super recommend!”
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. Having experience from yorkiepoos, cats, Dobermans, pitties and horses! I am comfortable with any size and age of pet, and understand that every animal needs something different. I work full time in health care so I am looking to walk or pet sit and walk in my off time. I’m can assure you I will provide the highest quality of care for your animals. I can do most nights during the weeks (maybe even some mornings) , and my weekends are free! I will also occasionally have some off days! I have a fenced in yard and and very walkable neighborhood. I am also open to staying in homes for pet care and house sitting.
About: Here to help animals get those hard to reach itchy spots. I love all animals and enjoy the different types of attitudes and demeanors each one brings. I have had many pets and worked in shelters before so Ive seen animals in all their forms. I work at the office Monday thru Friday 8-4. I however have a lot of flexibility with those hours and location depending on the type of care being sought. I follow the rules and guidance of the owner as closely as possible. They know their pet and how to most safely and compassionately care for them.
About: I have two pet snakes and have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life! I’ve given oral and injectable meds to snakes, cats, and dogs so I’m perfect for even high needs pets. I’m currently working part time, so I can work around a usual 9-5 schedule. If you have longer sitting needs, reach out and I can make something work for you! I will depend on the systems and items in your home according to your pet goals and needs! I come prepared with curiosity and kindness with every pet and I’m not afraid to ask questions.
“Blane did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat, Auggie! The level of detail and care that Blane put into Auggie’s Rover cards was awesome—lots of photos, details about what they did together, and info about Auggie’s behavior. Blane was always responsive, showed attention to detail, and got along so well with Auggie despite this sit being their first time meeting each other. I booked Blane as a last minute, fill-in sitter, but I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was great with my two pups. Twila is only 6-months-old and she's quite shy, while my other dog Chester is just over two-years-old. I had Lindsey do check ins the first week we got Twila as I was adjusting my work hours to accommodate a new puppy. Lindsey was timely, caring and patient with both of my dogs. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to foster animals across the globe—like a one-week-old kitten in Vietnam and two three-month-old puppies in Turkey! After a year of traveling, it almost felt like baby animals were just finding their way to me. I’ve also had big dogs at home my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from tiny kittens to large dogs. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Having grown up with big dogs and fostered a variety of animals, I’ve learned to adapt to different needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m always ready to step in and make sure pets get the care and attention they need. I focus on making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions and stay ready to act if anything comes up. If a pet gets stressed or something feels off, I know what to do to keep them happy and healthy.
About: I've own all varies of pets since I was a child and proud of always be able to taken a good care of them. I stay calm in difficult situations and don't shy away from them. I'm doing a part time currently so I do have plenty free time. And I'm happy to dedicate my time and energy to pet care. I'm an experienced pets owner and I'm proud of be able to take good care of pets! Your fur baby will be in good hands with me.
“Andrew was incredibly responsive, attentive, flexible and kind. Our boys enjoyed having him visit during the day while we were out. Both dogs were calm and comfortable when we came home - a great sign!! We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Deirdre took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. She was timely, reported every trip and even sent along photos to show my animals were in good care! When there was a medical situation, she informed me which made me feel like my pets were in good hands. Will definitely be using Deirdre for my pet care needs in the future!”
About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. As the proud parent of Gwen, my gentle 11-year-old Great Dane, and Luna, my energetic and sweet 5-year-old American Staffordshire, I’ve spent years training, walking, and bonding with dogs who have very different needs. Having an older dog has given me experience with administering meds (with or without food) and being considerate of slow and easy walks when needed. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—it’s not just a job for me, it’s a passion. What sets me apart from other walkers is my ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level, my calm and confident handling skills, and my commitment to reliability. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog like one of my own. As a chef, I work mainly evenings, which leaves my daytime hours wide open—and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending that time outdoors with a dog by my side. Whether it’s a mid-morning stroll or an early afternoon adventure, I’m available during the day for reliable, energetic walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m organized and efficient with my schedule, so you can trust that your pup will get consistent, on-time care while you’re at work or running errands. At home, I keep a calm and relaxing environment where dogs can unwind, nap, and feel safe—perfect for pups who need a quiet space to decompress. That said, there’s also plenty of room for play! My 5-year-old American Staffordshire, Luna, is full of energy and always ready to share her toys or make a new friend. She’d love a buddy to play with around the house or join her for fun outings at the park. Whether your dog prefers a peaceful nap or a playmate to romp with, I’m happy to provide a balanced and comfortable space that fits their personality. I always have my dog crate open if any dog (mine included) feels the need for some alone time.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Belmont is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 10,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Belmont. 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 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.
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 Belmont 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 Belmont. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
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.
