“Vanessa was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats, spent time playing or snuggling or chatting with them depending on what they wanted. Our nervous cat warmed up to her pretty quickly and she won the other one over with treats and head scratches. She is thorough, conscientious, friendly and seems to really enjoy spending time with the kitties. Would definitely recommend and will definitely book again!”

About: 30 years as a dog mom, 2 young school-aged kids + friendly puppy!! Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 30 years! I grew up with a dog from the time I was 4 until I was 20, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. At 28, I got my own dog, who was a beloved part of our family for nearly 13 years. Shortly after saying goodbye to her we welcomed Lola, our mini dachshund, into our family in May 2026, and she has brought so much fun and energy to our home. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care that comes with having a dog, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Our family includes two young school-aged children, so our home is loving, active, and full of attention. Lola loves having other dogs around, so we’re especially excited to welcome friendly, social dogs who enjoy playing and having a canine companion. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of a family and having plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with us! We take dogs out first thing in the morning, throughout the day as needed (typically at least every 3 hours), and again before bedtime. I am not currently working, so I’m around and available throughout the day. On weekends, we’re home most of the time with Lola and the kids, so there’s plenty of company, attention, and playtime. We enjoy getting outside for walks and, when appropriate, may visit a dog park or a dog-friendly beach when seasonally available. We’ll always consider your dog’s personality, comfort level, and energy when planning activities. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home! Our home is a dog-loving, family-friendly environment with a large yard on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods and backing up to the Hannah Trails. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and get some energy out! We have one very friendly, playful puppy (Lola) who loves having other dogs around, plus two young school-aged kids who are always happy to provide extra attention, entertainment, and cuddles. We especially enjoy welcoming dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Our puppy has free rein of the house when we’re home and is crate-trained when we leave. For guest dogs, we’re happy to use a crate when we’re away if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog isn’t crate-trained, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to work with their routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while we’re out. At night, we’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to. They can sleep in a crate, in a designated area, or even in bed with us (& Lola) if that’s their normal routine. Our goal is to keep your dog’s experience as comfortable and familiar as possible while they’re staying with us!

About: Every animal is unique, and I pride myself on understanding your pet's particular set of wants and needs and meeting them where they're at. If your pup is the type that jumps up off the couch to greet every person who walks in the door, I'll return that energy. If, like the Jack Russell I grew up with, they mostly want someone to feed them, walk them, and give them the occasional pet, I'll tend to their needs while giving them the space they want. And if, like my sister's dog, they're anxious about every new face they see, I'll approach them with the tact and patience they need to be comfortable. I've grown up with and cared for dogs for the past twenty years, and I've loved each and every one of them. I have experience caring for both puppies and seniors, walking large and reactive dogs, and administering meds. I do this full time and attend graduate school part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to a wide variety of needs. Your pet's safety is always my number one priority. I like to have a full written list of their needs so that there is no room for confusion and to ensure I know about any quirks of theirs and/or worries of yours. I tend to send updates on a daily basis, but that can always be adjusted to a schedule that works better for you.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’m comfortable around many different kinds of cats and dogs. I don’t have any pets myself right now, but I walk my parents’ dog when I visit them on the weekends. I also used to watch and walk my neighbor’s dog when I was younger. I am currently working full time as a teacher, but I am available most weekdays after work. I am close to downtown Beverly and aim to walk to any potential client’s house/apartment in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays. During walks I want to have the experience be as safe and enjoyable as possible, I find those things often go hand in hand. I like to keep the dog to one side of me with my body between them and the street or other pedestrians. At home I remain attentive to whatever needs your pet has: food/water, bathroom, or if they just need some love and attention. Outside of this, I’m also able to reliably follow any specific instructions you might have regarding your pet or your home.

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: I love animals of all kinds and have had pets in my household for my whole life. Two of my dogs growing up were registered therapy dogs, and I have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility (as well as horse training!). I am a patient, attentive, and enthusiastic caretaker. Being active is something I like to incorporate into my daily routine, and having a fuzzy friend to take on walks or runs would only enhance the experience! I’m looking for more interaction with furry friends in the community, and would love to meet your pet! I work an office job so am typically available outside of 9-5 on weekdays and most times on weekends (although I travel out of town occasionally). I do my best to make your pet comfortable while you’re gone by trying my best to stick to their typical routines and showering them with love and attention.

About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs. I’m semi retired and love spending time with animals, so walking and pet sitting has been great! I am flexible and have a good car that is reliable in all weather. I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.

“Natali was fantastic with our 100lb rescue dog. Natali made our dog comfortable from day 1 which is quite a feat considering that our rescue is not particularly interested in people. In fact she's often skittish and may submission pee if scared but with Natali that never happened. She knows the right energy to bring around a rescue, she was on-time for every drop-in, she's quick to respond to messages, and she followed every instruction to a T. I would highly recommend Natali to anyone who needs a sitter”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had a cat and dog of my own since I was a child, so I know just how much our pets become a part of the family. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, giving me experience with keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or happiest curled up in a cozy spot, I’ll meet them where they’re comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your fur babies like family and give them the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in nursing school, so while I do have a structured schedule, I also have plenty time during both the week and weekend to care for your pets. I’m organized, responsible, and comfortable following specific instructions, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, or making sure your cat gets plenty of playtime and attention. I’ll always do my best to make caring for your fur baby as seamless and stress-free as possible while you’re away! First things first, I would 100% die for your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, while making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to keep you updated with plenty of pictures and updates so you know your baby is happy and doing well! And of course, I am ready to give your pet allll the love and attention they deserve while you are gone!

About: I grew up with dogs and have almost always had one as an adult. I’m comfortable with all breed big and small and have trained many dogs, including stubborn pitties and enthusiastic goldens. I just adopted my foster pup Remy who is the best girl. I love dogs and will treat yours like they’re mine. I can’t wait to meet your pup and go for a frolic! I currently am unemployed and filling my days with walking pups and volunteering. My schedule if pretty flexible. I’m on a pretty standard schedule for wake up and walks. I live in a 2nd floor apartment of a 2 family, so I can’t take dogs out there for a quick pee. I go for 2-3 walks a day with my pup. I’m adaptable for your pups schedule when sitting.

Tawny was wonderful. She met with me for initial "meet and greet" right away, and my kitty loved her from the first moment. My kitty (over 20 yrs old) is normally shy and hides away from new people, but warmed up to Tawny right away. Tawny is kind, gentle and truly loves animals. She visited my kitty every day, and I got heart-warming photos via text from each visit. When I got back, kitty was happy, contented, as if I never left home. I am very happy that I found Tawny and can trust her with my furr-baby, when I travel from now on.

Dorothy is great with my dog! She is very patient, understanding, and flexible when my dog is nervous, not pushing her and instead finding ways to get her to warm up so she can be taken care of. She squeezed me in on a short-notice walk and follows care directions to a T. I feel very comfortable having my dog in her care.

We hired Jamie based on her recommendations and repeated customers here on Rover. I was nervous to leave my two kitties, especially my elder cat who is chronically ill. Jamie was punctual and attentive to their needs, feeding, dispensing my calico’s meds, and spending time with both. She alleviated my fears by being in touch during visits, and the photos she sent assured me that they were in good hands. They seemed calm and happy, responding to her positively. My second cat is very shy, and her approach obviously was effective as her photos show him very chill. I recommend her highly.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Beverly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Beverly is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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 9,569 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Beverly. 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.

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 .

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 , 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 Beverly. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
