“Tanya did a great job taking care of Oreo and keeping me updated over a longer stay. She showed great respect for my home and took feedback and adjustments well when my dog was showing signs of distress. I hope to work with her again.”
“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”
About: I grew up caring for and feeding the neighbors cats and dogs in my teenage years. Kirby was our first indoor dog, I helped care for him through two knee surges multiple tooth extractions and into his senior years when he required special meals and extra care with respiratory and mobility issues. I've cared for cats, and dogs of varying ages. I typically never travel over the holidays and would be happy to spend time taking care of your sweet pets! I work full time but have extra time on my days off or before and after shifts to give pets the attention they need, I love to get outside wether that's walking (or in some cases pushing the stroller for your senior dog/cat) to get some fresh air and exercise. I'm happy to take them to their favorite park or just hang out and give lots of love and pets or in cases of some cats ignore them till they love me. Let me know if they have any rituals or new training your working on with them so they can have the continuity even when your not home.
“We loved having Karen watch our animals during our recent vacation! She was easy to communicate with and kept us very up to date on how everyone was doing throughout her time with them. We had several days where we were completely off the grid and she kept us up to date through all of it so we had photos to look at when we could turn our phones back on. In all of the photos we received, the animals looked content, well-loved and comfortable. Our animals each have their own unique needs and she did a wonderful job keeping them to their routine. She also took very good care of the house while we were gone and it was very clean when we got back. We couldn't recommend Karen more!”
“Nicole was great with our two 10-year-old cattle dogs for their first overnight stay with a new sitter. She was kind, professional, and easy to talk to about all their routines and quirks beforehand, which put us at ease leaving our pups in someone new's care. While we were away, she sent updates at the key points in their schedule, so we always knew they were fed, walked, and settled. Everything about the stay felt smooth and well cared for, and we're already looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Ugur ws fantastic! He and y pooch, Olivia, clearly bonded well, and I think both had a good time. He also left the house in impeccable order. Don't take the brevity of this review as indicating anything other than time pressure on my part. Ugur was personable, communicative, and flexible in setting up a meet-and-greet before the sit. Highly recommended!”
“Claudia watched Nora for a weekend and made us feel completely comfortable! Nora is a puppy and needs a ton of attention. Claudia kept us up to date (tons of pics) and made us confident Nora was being well taken care of. We will definitely book again!”
About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, walking and house sitting depending on the dog and owner. The day is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas which might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals as well. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually are able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.
“So communicative!! We appreciated all the updates and flexibility with start/end times, and our pup appreciated the attentive companionship ❤️ we’ll definitely be requesting Annette again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”
“Erin was a 5 star dog sitter! My dogs were so happy and content when I got home I wonder if they missed me at all! Ha. Erin sent fun photos and updates while she stayed and was quick to respond if I was wondering how my dogs were doing. Our house looked just like it did when we left. I would highly recommend having Erin care for your pets.”
“Elizabeth (Betsy) was amazing for our house sitting this weekend. She took amazing care of our dog. She gave picture and video updates throughout the weekend. Our neighbors even complimented on how good Betsy was with her. I highly recommend!”
“Ja’Dana took the very best care of my little buddy, Franklin for the day and evening. She followed all of my instructions for his care and provided many adorable and helpful updates. I appreciated her warmth and kindness to my puppy. Frankie loves her and we’ll be sure to have her watch him again.”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”

Traci was great with my Siberian Husky who is not the easiest dog to watch. I can tell in the short time she was here my dog bonded with her because Traci put in the effort for that to happen. She also seems to instinctively understand dogs and what they want and when they want it. She followed all my special instructions for the few particularities of my dog. I would definitely hire Traci again and I plan to in the future.
Isabel is such a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our anxious but playful Havanese puppy for a week and was so patient, attentive, and reliable. She was great about accommodating his picky eating habits, keeping up with his potty breaks, and sending us regular photo updates. It was clear he was in great hands, and he absolutely loves her! We would definitely love to have her sit for him again.
Sebastian was a fantastic house sitter for our 2 cats that are both very shy but tend to be lonely without a human companion, especially for 3 weeks while we were in a different time zone! Sebastian is very gentle, kind and accommodating. He was determined to make a connection with both cats and it worked! Both cats were brushed daily (something they love). They had play time as well. The cats soon started hanging out in the same room as Sebastian, which is typical with us, but not necessarily a sitter. Communication with Sebastian was easy despite the time difference. Sebastian took excellent care of our new home, also pointing out any issues he noted that might not be aware of. Our house was clean and in order we returned. Zero complaints. We definitely plan to book Sebastian again in the future!
Sarah was amazing staying with my dogs during a 3 day worn trip. I've had some exceptionally bad experiences with sitters on this platform in the past and Sarah did a great job understanding my unease and accommodating my anxiety around leaving my dogs. I can't recommend her enough, she's a top tier pet sitter.
Luke was phenomenal with my GS/Husky, Kota! Luke had excellent communication with me throughout the weekend. A nervous dog mom’s ideal amount of communication at that. Not only did Luke keep Kota company in our space, but he kept him active, meeting new friends, and tired. It was so nice to come home to a well-played dog after a long weekend. Will be rebooking!!! 10/10 recommend.
During Cynthia's stay with our older pups, one of our pups experienced a health issue that Cynthia dealt with promptly. Cynthia also stayed in touch with me about the situation and acted very responsibly, taking our pup to the vet and giving her the necessary medication. We very much appreciated Cynthia's responsible care of our pups - made it easier to relax while away.
J is such a great cat sitter!! Highly recommend!! She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and I could tell my cats were happy and relaxed with her in every pic (and there were so many pics!!!). I will definitely reach out to J for more cat sitting in the future!
We had a great experience with Nico for house sitting! They arrived on time, took wonderful care of our dogs, and followed all of our instructions. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how reliable and attentive they were and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We would happily book them again!
Emily was great as always! She stayed with our puppy for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Knowing that Charlie was in such good, responsible hands really put our minds at ease -- and Emily was great about keeping us connected with loads of pictures along the way.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Belmont walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Belmont maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belmont. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
