“Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾”
“Alexander was a very kind and responsible care provider to our two darlings and his extra care and communication was very helpful as we changed a couple of routines for our cats just when he came to care for them. Our shy kitty even interacted with him! I highly recommend Alex if you need a caring and attentive cat-sitter.”
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.
“I recently hired Kathleen to look after my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Kathleen was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all of my instruction perfectly and provided updates during her daily visits, which helped put my mind at ease. Kathleen ensured my cats felt comfortable and cared for— they warmed up to her quickly!. My cats were happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I would highly recommend Kathleen!”
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.
“Eunae did a great job with our two cats. She was diligent with taking photos and keeping us updated. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone!”
“Sasha was a diligent and kind sitter for our cat. He’s an energetic cat but Sasha kept him entertained, loved, and most importantly safe during the holiday season. I highly recommend you retain her services.”
“We had a great experience with Annette! She took the time to come beforehand and learn our guinea pigs’ routine, which we really appreciated. She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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!
“Sarah was wonderful with my pup Penny! Penny is used to pretty much always being by my side, and she was (unexpectedly) scared when I wasn't there. Sarah and her son took the time to coax Penny out from the under the bed and made her comfortable for future stop ins. As a pet parent, I felt much better knowing that my dog was both happier and in great hands! A very positive experience!”
“Kay did a nice job with drop in visits for Ted. She sent plenty of photos with her very detailed updates, and was always very responsive to messages. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
“Kayla was fantastic! She worked with us on our last-minute request and took great care of our fur baby and gave us peace of mind about leaving him at home while we were traveling. Will definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“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’ve grown up with three dogs and have always loved caring for them as part of the family. I have experience with dog walking and drop in visits with my sisters dogs as well as friends. It's important to me that our pets receive the proper attention, exercise, and patient care they need. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I treat every dog with the same care and kindness I would give my own. I work a second shift engineering job (2pm-10:30pm) during the weekdays so I’m available to drop in or walk dogs before I leave for work (before 1pm). Weekdays: 9:00am - 1:00pm Weekends: Anytime Ideally I’d walk or run to your home and for dog walking, I'd typically do 15-45 minute walks depending on your pet’s needs but I am flexible upon request. Weekends are usually free for me as well. I love being active and outside and am always running, walking or swimming so this is the perfect way for me to get a companion to join me on a walk or for some fresh air :) I’m great at following any instructions given so your pets will be in great hands! I grew up with dogs and can’t wait to get my own again some day- but my personal experience with animals will certainly help me take care of your pets.

Heidi was bery warm and caring to Harpo. Jun was a great addition to the service as they plaed well. Harpo even saw Juni in the park a few days later and it was clear they became fast friends - played so well together! Heidi as definintley a great fit for my puppy still learning maturity out and about. Juni was a very good influence. I woul recommend her and will be using her again!
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!

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.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
