About: High energy high intensity dog? Let me help with matching their intensity. Consider me a personal trainer for your dogs. We work hard and play hard. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Cane Corsos. Whether it's high-energy pups needing long-distance walks (10+ miles) or senior dogs requiring extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. My background includes training puppies, handling strong-willed breeds, and providing gentle care for older dogs. With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy, I go the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to ensure your pet gets the best care possible! After leaving the corporate world unexpectedly, I’ve found a true blessing in rekindling my love for dogs. For the past 10 years, I haven't been able to own one due to my wife’s severe allergies, but my passion for caring for and spending time with dogs never faded. Now, with a completely flexible schedule, I can dedicate my days to giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's long-distance walks, playtime, or specialized care, I’m thrilled to finally do what I love—helping dogs stay happy and healthy while giving their owners peace of mind. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my client’s home or during walks. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or reinforcing training. For walks, I offer everything from casual strolls to long-distance (10+ mile) adventures, always prioritizing safety and enjoyment. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

About: I grew up having a variety of house pets from cats to large breed dogs and was involved with small farms in the area. I've always had a passion for animals and to provide quality care to those I care for. Whether it's a cat or a dog they receive the same level of care that I’d give my own. 💗 I’m fairly flexible. I offer drop-ins, daily walks & house sitting in my clients home only at this time. Let's chat about how I can best assist you! 📲 A typical drop in would consist of feeding, letting your dog out or taking them for a walk and incorporating time to play. 🐾 If they have special needs, I have administered oral and topical medications and will ensure you always get an update on how their day is going. Whether you have a high energy puppy/kitten or a laid back senior who needs extra assistance they’ll be treated as I would my own. ⭐️

All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening.

About: Hey there friends, My name is Hope. I’ve spent over 10 years walking dogs and caring for pets throughout Boston, NYC, and now as I travel all over. During this time Ive become certified in canine CPR and first aid. Safety first! Lucky for me, I only do non-pet related work on the weekends so I am entirely free to care for your pets anytime during the week. When I pet sit at other peoples homes for multiple days, besides the care and routine of the pets in need to know: when the client would like me to arrive/depart, a preferred place I can sleep, what I can and can’t use in the kitchen (salt/pepper ect), if I can/can’t use things like the washing machine if necessary, general house rules and security.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I cared for the family dog for 5 years, she was 7 when we rescued her after a breeder no longer wanted her. We wanted to give her the best years for her retirement. I then opened my home to fostering dogs a year later, to give another pup the chance to learn and experience the joys of being a family dog. I have since fostered a handful of different dogs ranging from a 3 month old puppy to a prospective agility dog, as well as a 65lb gentle giant. Whether it’s taking it slow with your senior pup or multiple daily walks/enrichment for your high drive bestie, I can do it all! Available day and night. Your pup, if crate trained, would be alone for a maximum of 3-hours, when needed. If not crate trained a secure room will be utilized in emergencies for a maximum of 1-hour. I have multiple sized crates both soft and metal. If your pup is house trained free roaming will always be allowed. If your dog has trouble acclimating and/or is not house trained, a play pen or crate may be utilized to minimize clean up from accidents. Sleeping on the bed is preferred for me, but I respect boundaries and/or crate training if needed. Dogs are never allowed off leash when outdoors, for their security and mine. Located on a quiet street with a backyard. Access to parks and trails within 20 minutes for more active dogs.

Megan was totally committed to the welfare of my dogs both physically and emotionally. She handled every task and instruction to the T. After seeing pictures and reading daily notes of our very happy dogs we felt confident that Megan was doing an excellent job. We have already booked her for another job. I know I'm a little over the top when it comes to my dogs but Megan was understanding and professional about everything.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bolton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bolton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 2,107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bolton. 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 Bolton 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Bolton 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 Bolton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
