About: Most of my days are spent outside with my dogs, hiking mountains and trails, biking with them running alongside, or paddle boarding on local ponds, rivers, and lakes. Right now that’s Indie, a Catahoula Cur/Boxer mix who loves bike rides, fishing, and adventure, and Kaia, a Boykin Spaniel who loves to swim, hike, and play. Over the years I’ve also raised a Brittany and a Vizsla, and I’m comfortable with every kind of dog, from energetic puppies and high-energy working breeds to laid-back seniors. My dogs have gone through professional training programs, and I keep up good leash manners and recall on every walk. Puppies get consistency and patience; seniors get extra attention to comfort. What to expect: I’ll follow your dog’s routine, including feeding and any meds, and tailor each walk to them, whether that’s a long, energetic walk or an easy stroll around the block. You’ll get photos and an update through the Rover app after every visit. I serve the Central MA area and am happy to set up a free meet and greet first. I work full-time as a Marketing Manager with a flexible, mostly remote schedule, so I can fit consistent visits into my week. Mon, Wed, Fri: morning, midday, and evening walks and drop-ins Tue, Thu: not available Weekends: morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-ins I plan my week ahead so visits happen on time, whether your dog needs a one-time walk or a regular weekly schedule. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding times, walk schedules, meds, and any house rules, so they stay comfortable while you’re away. On every walk, I check that harnesses and collars are secure, keep dogs leashed, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife. Client dogs never go off-leash or to dog parks unless you’ve asked me to. Before each visit ends, I double-check doors, gates, and locks, and make sure your dog has fresh water. I keep your vet and emergency contact info on hand, and you’ll get photos and an update through the Rover app after every visit.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: I am Cori checked, have experience working with trainers, I love to go for long walks with dogs and enjoy staying at the dog park and enjoying the sunny days! I work teaching hours and will be free when your kids are on vacation, We can go for walks and enjoy the fresh air in the backyard. It depends on the needs if they need meds but in general must feed, play, and go for walks! Have them sit next to me and cuddle!

About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.
“I’ve used Danielle several times and would recommend her to anyone. She spends a lot of time with my dog/at my house, provides frequent updates, and leaves the house in equal or better shape then when I left it. She follows all instructions related to medicines and anything else. I know my dog is in good hands.”

About: My name is Emma and I’m a Registered Nurse and am looking to also start pet sitting & dog walking again. I have a dog myself and know how important he is to me and I’d love to treat your pets with the same love & care! I trained my dog to not pull on leash and we walk a ton. I also have 2 cats at home and would love to cat sit.
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan. Tony and Maple love her. She is wonderful with them, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. Tony is a quirky dog, and she tends to every need he has, paying close attention. Both dogs adore her, and it shows by how happy and relaxed they are when they see her. She’s extremely reliable and always shows up on time. On top of that, she’s completely focused on whatever the dogs need. I especially love that after every visit, she provides thoughtful updates, including bathroom breaks, activities, and how much they’ve eaten, which is very helpful.”


“Tanya has done drop in visits/walks for my puppy Numerous times and is super reliable and professional. Her updates are great and make me feel at ease when I am out of the house all day. Would recommend to anyone seeking a dog sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is my deep background in providing structured, highly patient care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I excel at managing specialized behavioral needs. Whether your pup is anxious, high-energy, or just thrives on a precise schedule, I know how to bring a calm, understanding energy to every single drop-in visit. I don't just stop by for a quick potty break; I focus on maintaining your dog's exact routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. From administering precise instructions to handling sensitive or nervous dogs with a gentle touch, I treat your furry family member with the dedicated individual attention they deserve. You can rest easy knowing your pup is in experienced, trustworthy, and capable hands! I am currently launching my own independent consulting business and working as a substitute teacher, which gives me incredible control over my daily calendar! This unique professional flexibility allows me to seamlessly open up plenty of midday windows, mornings, and evenings for dedicated drop-in visits, medication schedules, or quick potty breaks throughout the week. My professional background means I excel at managing structured routines and maintaining clear, calm boundaries. In your home, I emphasize safety by following your exact care guidelines, double-checking locks, and providing focused care for anxious or sensitive dogs.
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, and I am passionate about making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have two dogs at home, 4 and 7, whom I love very dearly. I regularly do dog walks and have experience with overnight stays for one or two dogs at a time. I’m comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. Although my schedule varies, pet care is something I truly prioritize. I often dog-sit and walk dogs during my free time, allowing me to be flexible while still providing attentive, loving care. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.

About: I truly enjoy sharing my love for nature by caring for and healing those around me. Let me know how I can help you and your beloved animal friends. I am a freelance videographer and multimedia editor looking for another stream of income. I make my own hours and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am open to helping as much as possible and connecting with people in my community. Please reach out if you need help with your pet or children during this time and I will get back to you. Thank you! I am available to come to client's homes and care for their pets under their specific terms and conditions.

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since childhood, and have now made a career out of it! I’m an Emergency Vet Technician in Natick, and have experience with a wide variety of cats and dogs. I’m passionate about animal care, and can administer medications, care for special needs pets, as well as those with medical needs. I’ve been a dog walker and sitter since High School, and can offer services for puppies, adult dogs, and cats. Also have experience with reactive/nervous dogs. Contact me today! I work 3 12 hour shifts throughout the week, so have a lot of free time during the week, and some availability on the weekends as well. I’m happy to offer whatever makes your pet feel comfortable! I have tons of experience with many different pets, and can therefore tailor my care to whatever your pet needs.

About: I personally love animals and I’ve been taking care of pets since I was around 10-11 years old. I have the most experience with cats and rabbits and fish as I’ve owned a lot of them. Although I’ve never owned one I am well experienced with dogs too as I volunteered at an adoption center and have taken care of my friends dogs many times. I have also worked with birds, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, turtles, frogs, lizards, and farm animals. I am an 19 year old college student and I’m really excited for this opportunity to make some extra money doing what I love. I’m currently working part time and I only go to school 2 days a week, leaving me with plenty of time to take care of your pet. Currently I don’t own any pets, but I have in the past. Im available for overnights on weekends. On weekdays I will most likely be available on afternoons and evenings. The house I’m living in is really spacious and it’s in a compound so there is plenty of space for them to roam around in a large, clean house. For dogs or other outdoor pets there is a large yard out in the back, however it is shared with the compound so it is not fenced. The area/compound itself is really nice, modern, and quiet. It’s a great space to take a walk, especially as the weather cools down. If you need any other information, I can share my contact info and provide pictures of the environment.
“Jessica is great. Super communicative, takes great pictures, and loves on all the dogs and cats as if they were her own! Also at her place for boarding she has a really great dog set up so they can be cozy and comfortable. She’s very gentle and loving with the fur babies. 💕”

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
“Arevig was great with our three cats- this second time just as much as the first. She’s been great with communication and making our cats happy and cared for. Very highly recommend, especially if there are tricky details. Arevig is very conscientious and pleasant.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 8,850 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Boylston. 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 Boylston 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 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.
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.
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 Boylston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
