About: I've enjoyed having pet dogs for over 20 years and really love getting to know their personalities. I want to help you feel confident your pets are receiving the best care and attention while they can't be with you! I currently work Mon - Friday, so am limiting services to weekends and holidays. I won't show availability on the calendar unless I am off and available to spend the necessary time looking after your pet. I have a well cared for home with a fenced yard. We do not have any dogs of our own at this time. Lots of walking trails just outside our door for interesting walks! We are just a few minutes off the 401 at the Elgin Rd exit #203.

Stefanie was so wonderful! Reliable and communicative, our cats were really well taken care of, especially in terms of very important medication being administered. We had such peace of mind while being away from them. Would rehire her again in an instant.

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

About: I kicked off my dog-loving journey managing a PetSmart pet hotel, where I cared for pups of all shapes and sizes while their humans were away. After that, I joined the team at Manotick Veterinary Hospital as a vet assistant—helping with surgeries and making sure dogs bounced back happily. Then I spent some time at the Ottawa Humane Society, helping some of Ottawa’s sweetest animals find their forever homes—including my own rescue, a 6-year-old Alaskan malamute! These days, I’m a dog groomer, pampering pups and making sure they look and feel amazing. No matter what I’m doing, every dog gets treated like family—and that’s exactly how I’ll treat your fur babies too I’m available for bookings anytime after 4pm during the week (Mon-Fri) and anytime on weekends. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 When I’m looking after your dog, I’ll make sure your home gets just as much care and attention. From keeping things tidy to making sure everything feels just as you left it, I’ll treat your space with the same love and respect I give your pup.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like family. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care, whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior companion. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, providing regular exercise, and giving plenty of affection. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every dog’s stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive timely feedings, walks (for dogs), playtime, companionship, and any medications they may need. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and make their comfort and well-being a priority. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home, I create a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise (for dogs), fresh water, regular meals, and a comfortable place to rest. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they always know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾

This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!

About: I’m a Golden Retriever owner with 4+ years of hands-on experience raising my own dog and caring for anxious, senior, and special-needs pets. I provide calm, reliable in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I am naturally very patient, gentle, and attentive. I understand dog behavior well and can read their needs, whether they want to play, rest, or need comfort. I have experience helping shy or anxious dogs feel comfortable and safe with gentle handling and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free at all times. For me, pet care is not just a responsibility—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I will always ensure your dog gets the same love, attention, and care that I give to Scotch. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work weekdays during the day, but I provide reliable morning care, evening care, overnight stays, and full availability on weekends. I’m especially available for overnight house sitting and weekend care. For pet sitting, I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer extended care and longer walks. Your pet’s routine and comfort are always my priority, and I do my best to follow their usual schedule closely. I specialize in overnight house sitting so pets can stay relaxed in their own familiar environment. I find that caring for pets in their own familiar environment helps them feel more comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special care instructions. I ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise, while also maintaining a calm and safe environment. I am very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I always prioritize cleanliness, safety, and trust. My goal is to make your pet feel secure and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Dorchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dorchester on Rover is $19.55 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 .

There are 570 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Dorchester. About 84% of Dorchester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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 travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Dorchester 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 based on 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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Dorchester 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.

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 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
