“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our cat Bailey while we were away! She spent extra time caring for and getting to know our cat and sent pictures and updates following every visit. I would highly recommend Jessica and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young & have always been a big animal nut. I’ve had all kinds of animals as an adult once I was on my own, including cats, dogs, ferrets, bearded dragons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, & bunnies! And I’ve loved them all greatly! I’m also a mom to 2 teens so I’m used to messy, fast-paced days & thinking quick on my feet. I volunteer at my town’s animal shelter & I have also been trusted to sit for friends’ pets (which included farm animals). My biggest concern for any animal is their safety & well-being (both physical & mental). I am self-employed & am lucky enough to choose my hours, so I have wide availability. I do have a child that I drive to & from school but I’m open to discussing what your needs are & how to make it all work. I’m ready to give your animal everything they need & am comfortable with most anything, including cleanup, feedings, habitat cleaning, & medications. I believe in respecting your home & privacy — I’m just in it to care for your family member!
About: I currently have a 1 year old English mastiff who is 170 pounds and he is the best boy! He has to walk 2-3 miles everyday, so your pup will be definitely walked until they don’t want to move! I also had a rescue dog who was a Rottweiler mix who was very reactive. He was reactive towards other dogs and people, but luckily I was able to learn from him. I currently work full time during the week, and have to walk my mastiff 2-3 miles after work so he sleeps at night, but the weekends I am able to come walk with your dogs. I do not plan on bringing your dog to my house, but any instruction you need me to follow I will once I am in your home.
About: I’m an experienced rescue pet owner who’s fostered both cats and dogs, including my own behaviorally challenged dog. I grew up caring for a senior dog with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassion. Through my rescue work, I’ve provided both cat and dog sitting and am excited to offer that same loving care to more pets and families! Pet care best fits into my daily schedule during lunch breaks and anytime after 4 PM! I can be flexible as well depending on the time slots needed and my class schedule. Safety is always my main priority. Through my experience working with flight-risk fosters and animals with a variety of behavioral and medical needs, I’ve learned how to create secure environments for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to details, careful with routines, and always mindful of each animal’s comfort and safety
About: With 15 years of experience, I provide reliable, compassionate pet care including walks, boarding, behavior modification, puppy training, senior care, medication administration, and personalized attention. My flexible schedule allows availability mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests, ensuring dependable care whenever you and your pets need me most consistently. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a safe, trustworthy, clean, low-stress environment where every pet feels loved, secure, always.
About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember. I have worked up in Boston taking care of animals and for family and friends close to me. As well as working with the elderly caring for them in their homes for the past few years. I’m in school to became a veterinarian, and love animals more than anything and would love to help you with your babies wherever help is needed. I promise to love your pets like they are my own!! I am very flexible and willing to work out anything you need to help you feel your pets are all cared for when you are not around :) looking forward hearing for you! I am currently going to focus on this as a main job for the summer so i am very flexible and available!! I am available all throughout the week morning -night whenever I am needed. I can stop by to feed,play and give potty break and nice walks with your babies! I am even more then happy to hangout for long period of time or stay over the night if needed!! I do not offer play dates or overnights at my own home only because of my dog is a recuse and does not do the best around other dogs. But I love my dog and cat more than anything and my home is full of nothing but overwhelming love for them and I wish to give you just the same for when i’m with your animals :)
“Kaylee took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She was very prompt and professional with visits and with communication/updates and we felt that our Lily and Daisy were in great hands with her the entire time. I highly recommend Kaylee for your pet sitting needs!”
“Lesley is amazing! She helped us out in a pinch when our doggy daycare closed suddenly and offered to have a last minute meet and greet. She even brought her Rollo for playtime which Mulligan absolutely loved. I felt so relieved knowing Mully was in her care.”
“I connected last minute with a Gary after my scheduled petsitter cancelled the day before my vacation. It worked out great. Gary was engaged and provided pictures each day. He took great care of my cats and definitely won them over. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary as well as use his petsitting service again in the future. Thanks Gary!!!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our big Choco lab, Hopey! She can be barky on walks (gentle giant), but Brittany always takes great care of her. Lots of play and cuddles too! Thanks, Brittany!”
“Lindsay stopped by to visit my cat while I was in England. She brought her daughter with her, which was great- to give the cat some more attention. Professional, communicative, and on time. Thanks, Lindsay”
About: Volunteer at the Hotel for Homeless dogs for 4 years now. Lifetime pet owner with much experience. No age, size, or breed I would not care for. Currently Radiology student at CCRI. Set to graduate in May 2027. Take my responsibilities and duties very seriously. I would treat your animals like they were my own. I have my own vehicle and means of transportation. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walking or sitting I will make sure to tend to their needs.
“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!
“Cheyana responded quickly to my last minute request and set up a Meet and Greet for later that day. Cheyana came promptly as scheduled and took my dog for a nice walk. There were no issues and my dog was really happy!!! Would definitely hire Cheyana again!”
“We are absolutely thrilled to have found Rich (Kemba) for our American Bulldog, George. Our meet & greet was off to a slow start, as George is not always friendly to new people. Kemba and his wife Sandra, however, we so amazingly patient, understanding and kind to George - allowing him time to warm up a bit as we talked about his particular needs. Clearly they have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with all sorts of animals, including those who are "misunderstood". We scheduled a 2 week period of 2/day drop-in visits for George, beginning with yesterday (while my husband and I were home to show Kemba the ropes). George was extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming, but Kemba remained calm and collected, explaining George's behavior and reassuring him. He reassured me as well, as I was stressing out over George's outburst. We reviewed some of the notes I left for Kemba and went outside for a short playtime. George is very capable, caring hands with this man. We have a very good feeling moving forward and are confident that he and George will be great friends. I cannot recommend Kemba more highly.”

Jacqueline was wonderful with our two, and we came home to happy and healthy pups! I was extremely nervous about traveling without them, especially because I’m a very involved dog mom and definitely had a lot of special instructions. 😂 Jacqueline was incredibly patient with all of my requests and took the time to really get to know them. Paulie can be nervous with new people, so seeing how comfortable he became with Jacqueline and her son put me completely at ease. Bonnie is also recovering from an injury, and I felt confident that she was being handled carefully. Jacqueline was reliable, punctual, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We’re very grateful for the care they received and would definitely recommend her!
Carley took excellent care of our furry baby while we were at an event. Knowing Aja was in good hands made it easier to enjoy the show. Carley brought her own pup over for a playdate which Aja thoroughly enjoyed. She spent many minutes looking around house for them when we got home! Thanks Carley! We'll definitely see you again.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Savannah! From the moment we met her at the meet and greet, I had such a great feeling about her, and she somehow exceeded those expectations when she watched Kimchi and Pebbles. She arrived early, was incredibly attentive with the girls, sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and made it so easy for me to relax knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. It was obvious that she wasn't just there to "watch the dogs." She genuinely spent time with them, paid attention to them, and made sure they were comfortable and getting plenty of love. Finding someone you trust with your dogs, especially when they're used to having you home with them most of the time, is a big deal. I feel incredibly lucky that we found Savannah. Kimchi and Pebbles absolutely loved her, and we will 100% be asking her to come hang out with them again.
Heather is a wonderful sitter! I have an anxious dog, and I was nervous about allowing an unfamiliar person to care for her while I was on vacation. I purposely chose Heather due to her experience with anxious dogs, and I am so glad that I did! Heather scheduled a meet and greet prior to caring for her so my dog could become acclimated to her. Due to Heather's calming presence and careful efforts, Tootsie was very calm upon meeting Heather. While I was away, Heather provided thorough information about my dog, which was extremely reassuring. I felt confident that Tootsie was being cared for by someone who I trust. Heather went above and beyond to make Tootsie as comfortable as possible. I will definitely reach out to Heather again should I need someone to care for her.

Before booking, confirm:

- 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 Blackstone 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.

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 .
