“Deb was wonderful and took a very last minute booking from us. Not only was she able to take our booking but she also accommodated a last minute meet and greet. She was amazing with Libby and we appreciated her flexibility! Will definitely book again! Thanks Deb”
“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”
“Kelly is very prompt and professional, and did a great job taking care of our cats. She is especially good at giving play time and attention to our high-energy cat.”
“Jaiming sent such thorough notes and photos from her visits. It made me feel so much better leaving my older kitty alone for a few days while we travel. I am so grateful for the TLC she showed to our senior kitty and how willing she was to take extra steps to make sure she got the care she needed.”
About: Hey there – my name is Nancy, and I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. Starting with my childhood dog, Bandit, a mixed Shepard. As an adult I had a pit bull/boxer mix, Vedder. I had Vedder for 12 years. After Vedder, I had a beagle/boxer mix, Killian. I currently do not have a dog of my own. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your dog I am an experienced sitter, and did walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently not working. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available both days and nights to watch, walk or play with your dog. To ensure the safety and well-being of pets under my care, I would first familiarize myself with each pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and any medical conditions. This includes understanding their diet, exercise routine, allergies, or medications they may be on. During walks, I would keep them on a leash at all times. Moreover, for both walks and sitting sessions, I’d maintain regular communication with the pet owners by providing updates and promptly reporting any unusual behavior. Maintaining vigilance, open communication, and being prepared for unexpected situations are crucial aspects of ensuring the safety and well-being of pets under my care. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I did successfully train my pit bull/boxer, Vedder, and my beagle/boxer, Killian. When you board your dog with me, you can expect a quality stay. Your dog will not only be well looked after, they will go on some cool walking adventures. I’m located near three beaches, and three parks. One of the parks has a bike/walking path. I keep the owner updated with pics and text. I also use a walking app that shows where we walked, how far we walked and how long we walked. When you leave your dog in my care, you can enjoy your vacation knowing that your dog is also having fun.
“Simmy took great care of Silver! Very responsive, took great pictures to show their interactions and care instructions being followed. Silver, a very shy kitty who runs from strangers, also warmed up to Simmy quickly over a few check ins. We were super happy to see Silver was coming up for pets and playing by the end of our short trip. We would certainly contact Simmy again to see if she is available the next time we are away!”
About: Hi! I’m Sara, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals, especially horses and dogs! Growing up, animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I truly believe they deserve all the love, patience, and care in the world. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra cuddles and attention. Every dog has their own little personality, and getting to know them is honestly one of my favorite things! I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat yours like my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! My typical day is pretty relaxed and flexible, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I love starting the day with a nice walk, some fresh air, and of course, lots of playtime and attention. Throughout the day, I make sure there’s a good balance of exercise, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and downtime. I also love getting to know each dog’s personality and sticking to their usual routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I do work night shifts on select days, but I’m always upfront about my availability and make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are a priority. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and little updates throughout the day because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and well cared for! 🐾 I live in a safe, pet-friendly gated community with its own secure dog playground, plus the Quincy Dog Park just around the corner—perfect for plenty of playtime and socializing! 🐕✨
“OMG, Juliette is amazing! She came each day almost to the minute and took care of everything. She kept us updated with pics and videos of our kitties and went above and beyond by doing whatever she could to make each visit perfect! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own senior husky, so I understand how important patience, attention, and a comfortable routine can be for every pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, lots of attention, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Even though I have a pretty busy school schedule, I always make room for pets! I spend a lot of time studying, so I love having a furry study buddy nearby to keep me company. I’m happy to take study breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Having pets around makes my day better, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my routine. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and what makes them feel most comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks or playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s medications, crate routines, potty schedules, or certain behaviors to watch for. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and lived with them since I was 10. Growing up, I attended group dog training classes with my family dogs. Family, friends and neighbors have asked me to care for, walk, feed and bathe for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens and rabbits. I’m currently working from home and have the flexibility to stay with dogs all day or to walk a few times a day. I’m available during the week and weekends to house sit depending on my availability. I can’t care for dogs in my apartment, but I’ll gladly care for pets in your home! If instructed, I can crate your dog while you are away or clean up dog messes in or outside your home. With your permission, I would love to bring your pet a treat or toy to establish trust as long as they are not allergic. Happy to accommodate and make your pet as comfortable as possible during our time together!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and have a deep love and compassion for them, and other animals of all shapes and sizes. I prioritize custom care to fit your pet’s unique personality and boundaries to ensure that not only they are happy & safe, but you are at ease and comfortable with me caring for your precious baby! Small to medium dogs only please ❤️🐾 I am highly available throughout the week, Wednesday through Sunday. I can come by as early as 7am and as late as 10pm to make sure your furry friend has their food, water, and necessary medication at the time they need it, so you don’t have to stress! I have one indoor-only cat who is the love of my life! I work part time as a receptionist at an animal hospital so my cat is up to date on all of his vaccines and exams. He has a sensitive tummy and feline asthma as well as a heart condition, so I am highly familiar and flexible with cats with any kind of conditions requiring medication administration, special diets or processes.
About: I LOVE DOGS AND CATS! I have had two dogs in my life; one was a Doberman mix and the other was a yellow Labrador Retriever. They were both large, active dogs, so I'm used to handling rambunctious bundles of energy of all sizes. I can even give your dog oral medication if necessary. How about cats? Of course! I've also had two cats, and my current cat is turning 18 soon. The two cats I have had couldn't be more different. My first cat was very outgoing and loved meeting new people, and my current cat is, well, a cat's cat! So I am very understanding of the wide range of cat personalities. I have to give my old cat medication all the time, so I can give your cat oral medication if necessary. I I work part-time in Braintree, weekdays from 10-3. I can do early morning walks at the crack of dawn and late afternoon/evening walks in all types of weather. And, of course, I'm completely open on weekends. I will offer your dogs and cats play, affection, and attention (unless they're shy and prefer to be left alone, of course!). I'll feed them, clean up any messes they make, etc. I can offer to meet with you first and do a trial care (walking, playing, etc) free of charge so that you can decide if you want me to be your dog walker/pet sitter.
“Lauren is the best. She is so timely and available on short notice. My work schedule changes weekly and she has a big heart for Paulie. He loves her! She shares a lot of details about their time together and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Our dog Loki was well taken care of by Kimberly while we were away. We started with a meet and greet and Kimberly was taking notes and interacting with Loki the whole time. She was very professional and we received a report card for every visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Erika did a great job checking in on my cat, Olly, while I was away! And I’m super appreciative she took this on relatively short notice (less than a week). Thank you for giving him some TLC! Will definitely request Erika next time I’m away. Thank you!”
“Deirdre was absolutely fantastic. I realized last-minute that I’d need a sitter to drop in on my dog over the weekend, and Deirdre not only accommodated me, but went above and beyond in providing updates and photos. Highly recommend! (And thank you so much again, Deirdre!🩷🐾)”

Yunting was wonderful! She took great care of Delilah while I was away for a week. She was very attentive, reliable, and communicative, and I loved receiving her photos and updates throughout the week. It gave me peace of mind knowing Delilah was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Yunting to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
As first time users of Rover, we were pretty nervous trusting anyone we didn’t really know with our two cats. However, from the first intro meeting with Simmy our gals, we immediately felt comfortable and that they would be in great hands. Simmy was so easy to work and plan with, and was a great communicator throughout our trip! We would absolutely work with Simmy again and recommend to anyone!
Brenna is an absolutely incredible sitter for our 2 cats! Her updates are thorough and her photos are plenty! Our babies love her and when things happen (like our water getting shut off) she pivots and makes sure the dishes are still clean and the cats have everything they need for our return.

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.
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 .

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 .

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.
