I’m a travel nurse so I work really long hours. Katie came and sat with my girl a little bit each day I was at work and went above and beyond to take care of my girl!! If I’m ever in her area again I will so be using her again to take care of Willow. She truly loved my dog and my dog loved her. At one point I flew home and my sitter called was I landed and unable to care for Willow. Katie stepped up and made a very stressful situation bearable!! She is amazing and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone!

Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.

Cannot recommend Sara enough! She was incredibly thorough and sent so many pictures and videos. We were out of town for about a month so she even offered to help with the plants and bringing in the mail, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional, and very obviously LOVES animals. It was such a relief to know my little buddy was in such capable hands. Thanks again Sara!!

Michelle was OUTSTANDING! We had a dog sitter we have been using for the past few years and recently she had to stop due to life changes. Michelle came to meet us and instantly we knew she would take great care of our boys. I have 2 dogs (12 and 9), my eldest is a rescue and very anxious around new people. Michelle was patient and worked with him. After one drop in visit they were buds. The younger dog is a St Bernard and Michelle had no issues with caring for him and his size. He forgets he is a giant at times ? Michelle took very good care of our boys as well as our home. We have SEVERAL indoor plants and Michelle was attentive to all. She cleaned and took in the mail. It was wonderful coming home to happy pups, healthy plants, and a clean home. We would recommend Michelle to anyone! Can’t wait to have her hang with our boys again. Thank you Michelle!

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs, I was responsible for walking them, feeding them, making sure they had enough water, and playing with them! I have worked with reactive dogs who require muzzles and being separated from other dogs. I have a dog of my own as well, Benny! Benny is a Whoodle and we do a lot of training, he recently graduated from his Canine Good Citizen Advanced class! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and having my summers off working in education allows me to spend time doing something I love! Starting June 17th my school year ends. I will be working part time Tues-Fri 10-3 ish but other than that I am free! Am happy to be per diem or on a weekly schedule. It is my goal to accommodate and match the dogs schedule. I will make sure I reach the needs of any and all dogs in my care, depending on how long their walks are, or quantities of food. I will make sure the dogs are safe and secure within my care!

Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.

Virginia is absolutely amazing! She catered to all four of my cats. She adjusted perfectly to our cat’s particular needs. We have one shy cat who will not come out from under the couch for anyone, but Virginia was able to bond with her and give her the attention she needed. We will be using Virginia for all of our future “cat lovin’” needs!

Brittany did a terrific job of caring for Chance. She was diligent about giving him his meds, and spraying a hot spot he had each day. She noticed when he took some skin off his nose, and tried her best to keep his ecollar on when Chance was doing all he could to take it off. Thanks to her his hot spot is almost gone and he’s healthy and happy. She’s the best.

Alexandra took wonderful care of our cats for 3 days. Her love of animals is so apparent. Both cats loved hanging out with her, even our sometimes surly cat Mr. Mox. She stayed for longer than the 40 minutes, playing with them and making sure everything was clean and that they were set for the rest of the day. The pictures she sent proved how happy and relaxed the cats were with her We will definitely rebook the next time we need help!

About: I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes. I am also currently a certified professional dog trainer. Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.

About: Pet Care Experience I've had pets throughout my life, giving me a deep understanding and love for animals. My experience spans from playful puppies to senior dogs, allowing me to cater to a wide range of needs and temperaments. What Sets Me Apart Diverse Experience: Having worked with dogs of all ages, I am adept at managing the high energy of puppies as well as the special care needs of senior dogs. This experience helps me provide tailored care for your pet. Professional Background: As an art teacher at a nursing home, I bring a level of patience, compassion, and responsibility that is invaluable in pet care. My job has also taught me to be highly attentive to the needs of those I care for, whether they are human or canine. Personalized Care: I believe in treating every dog like a member of my family. Before starting any engagement, I prefer to meet with you and your pet to understand their specific needs, preferences, and personality. This initial meeting helps build trust and ensures the best care for your furry friend. Schedule As a teacher, my current availability is limited, but I'm excited to share that my schedule will be opening up soon. With the school year ending on June 23, I will be available for dog walks Monday to Friday throughout the summer. I'm looking forward to spending quality time with your dog, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. My Home: - In my own home, I have designated areas for pet care, ensuring they have ample space to move around and relax. - I maintain a secure environment, with gated areas to prevent any escapes or accidents. - I provide plenty of toys, comfortable bedding, and stimulation to keep your pet happy and engaged during their stay. - Additionally, I follow any dietary restrictions or special needs your pet may have, ensuring they receive the same level of care they would at home. Client's Home: Respectful and Professional: - When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and professionalism. - I follow your instructions carefully, ensuring your pet's routine remains consistent and they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. - Your home's security is a priority, and I take care to lock doors, close gates, and adhere to any security measures you have in place. Trust and Communication: - I maintain open and transparent communication with you throughout the pet care process, providing regular updates and photos to reassure you of your pet's well-being. - Trust is the foundation of my service, and I strive to build a strong rapport with both you and your pet, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable leaving them in my care. Emergency Preparedness: - I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I have a thorough understanding of emergency protocols to ensure your pet's safety in any situation. - Your pet's health and well-being are my top priorities, and I am equipped to handle any unexpected events with professionalism and care.

Maegan watched our goats and chickens for a week. Unfazed by the complicated instructions and our shifting plans, sent cute photos--felt very good to leave them in her competent and reliable hands.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Boylston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 9,487 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boylston. 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 Boylston 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 Boylston. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
