Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!

I’ve been using Kristen for almost 2 months 4 days a week. Kristen is reliable and very flexible with my schedule. She has a nice relationship with my dog and knows how to handle multiple dogs at the same time. Kristen’s uses sound judgment when all the dogs play.

About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their dogs. During the school year, I also volunteer weekly at Vermont English Bulldog Rescue, where I walk dogs of all sizes and energy levels, clean crates, and assist with feeding and daily care. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet with love. I work part-time with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home and your pet with care, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’m a dog lover looking to brighten up your pups days! Dogs are so much more than pets, they make our lives whole and they deserve to be treated with love and respect just like humans! I’m excited to care for other dogs and to have some company on walks. I work full time in marketing Monday-Friday 9-5, but I would love to care for and walk dogs when I have available time on nights and weekends. I understand the needs and safety of dogs and I will create a safe environment for your pets under all circumstances that you can trust.

About: Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience in animal care. From helping my mom with dog boarding to caring for horses, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal needs and behaviors. Whether it’s giving extra love to puppies, ensuring senior pets stay comfortable, or simply offering your furry friends a safe, loving environment, I approach every pet like they’re my own. My experience and lifelong passion make me the perfect sitter for your pets, no matter their age or personality! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I work mostly remote with only a few hours spent in-office each week, so your furry friends will never be alone for long. Whether it’s taking walks, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and ensure they feel loved and cared for at all times. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own—like part of the family. Whether they’re staying in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I make sure to stick to their routines, offer plenty of playtime, and provide affection to keep them feeling happy and secure. You can rest easy knowing I’m always attentive to their needs and will go the extra mile to make them feel right at home.

Jen is so amazing. We trust her implicitly with my animals that have included a 15-year-old dog with medical issues, a fear aggressive rescue dog and two cats that love to try to escape the house. She is extremely communicative and loves the animals as if they are her own. I never worry when I am away and she is taking care of my crew. Can not recommend her highly enough!

Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!

About: A few years ago, I visited Aruba and rescued a dog from New Life for Paws. I brought him through the airport and plane in a small carrier bag. I was able to foster him for a few weeks and send him off to his forever home. However, my entire life I have had a strong passion for dogs and have always found myself drawn towards them whether it’s in the street or even just visiting a friends house! Although I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I have grown up around dogs and animals my entire life. I have spent mostly every summer from when I was born at my grandpa’s farm which has a variety of animals; chickens, dogs, cats, and lots of cows. I also have plenty of experience dogsitting and walking dogs for my family and friends. As a young adult who is a junior at the University of Denver, I have free time to care for pets! The daily exercise for dogs is also a good way to implement it into my daily life as well! I’m not in this for the money but more so to prioritize your animal and their well-being. I am free seven days of the week and will work around my school schedule to make time for your beloved animal:) As someone who loves to hike, I love having a furry companion with me. Whether your dog can walk for miles or even just a block, I’m willing to do whatever it takes for them!

About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.

Jordyn was GREAT!! This was the first time we left him since he adopted us, so it was a tough time with leaving him. I knew when she came & left, got updates & pictures, which is tremendously helpful. When I asked about anything, I immediately got an answer. I have not heard the end of it since we got back. (I didn't bring any lobsters for him) Thanks Jordyn, we will see you again!

Olivia is exactly what I always look for in a sitter - responsive, timely, flexible (I had to keep changing my departure time and she was totally understanding!) and most importantly, so great with taking care of my cat, Franklin. Traveling is so much more enjoyable when I know someone is taking great care of him and treating him like their own. Would totally recommend her to anyone!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Boxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Boxford on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,856 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boxford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Boxford 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.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boxford. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
