This is our second time having John care for Abby and Archie, and things went very well again. The dogs seemed very calm and comfortable with John, all instructions were followed, and everything was in order when we returned. We appreciate John taking such good care of our beloved pups!

Krissy was the best! I was relaxed about leaving my dog with her immediately. She is very nice and could tell she would take good care. My dog got everything he needed and more! Thank you to Krissy and Rover for providing this service. Makes having pets a lot better!

Lee was fantastic. We had an issue on our end with our electronic locks. Lee worked around the issue and our handyman to make sure our pets were taken care of. Above and beyond. I'd certainly reccomend her and she is our first option next trip.

Amanda was responsive, caring, and incredibly trustworthy taking care of James and Winifred. She sent pictures and let me know of her arrival and departure. I would highly recommend her- she’s very comfortable with my rowdy dogs and they loved her immediately.

About: I will care for your pets like they are my own, I have grown up around all animals and love them all. I am reliable and dependable I have my own pets who are like my children so I know how important it is to have someone responsible and loving to care for your pets. I absolutely love all animals I have 2 cats 2 dogs 1 a dalmatian the other old english bulldog, pug and beagle mix and also 3 parakeet, they also basically run our home 😄. I am a hair dresser as well so I wouldn't have an issue doing baths or brushing if it is needed. I also had a cat named Garfield who was special needs who I had to help get around as well as go to the bathroom, and I also care for my granddoggy and 2 grandkitties. I am very good with all animals and wish I could save them all. I currently have 2 cat and 2 dogs and 3 parakeets who are apart of my daily life. Walking, feeding, scooping litter, watering and playing with them all the time. I have 4 children who are adults now but in reality I actually have 11 because my animals are my life, and they pretty much own our home. I have a small yard and when my dogs are out im with them the entire time so your dog would never be alone and would also have playmates. I also have a crate if needed as well. I give lots of attention and treats, my dogs sleep with us or my 2 kids at home still who are 18, and 19.

About: I have always been the person a friend or family member reached out to for pet care for as long as I could remember. Dogs and cats have been a major part of my life since I was born, always having them in the house and growing up alongside them. Now at 26, I am a cat mom to two boys and an auntie to many pups and kitties! I love caring for animals because they give us so much love and affection; they are not just pets, but family. It sounds cliché but it’s so true - they are living heartbeats that deserve the best quality of life, just like humans. I work a regular 9-5, Monday through Friday at a local live entertainment organization. On occasion, I will have to work events. I also help part-time at a local pizza business. I am fantastic with communication and am an avid planner. Because I have two cats, I do not board at my apartment. I live in a one bedroom and am committed to giving them the best quality of life and limiting stressors. When I go away, I leave a detailed list of what my boys need, their routine, and all necessary contacts in case of an emergency. For any pets I watch, I will ask the same. I like to know every detail possible in order to keep routines on track and be prepared for any scenario.

Mariana has really helped with taking care of our dog. Mariana has many clients, but is very good about giving her time to each client when they are scheduled. She helped us with a drop-in visit for this stay, which allowed us to attend an all-day event that would have been very difficult to make without Mariana’s help. Additionally, given our dog’s difficult behavior when other people enter our home, the drop-in visit was very beneficial for learning what we needed to do to help our dog learn better habits when people enter our home. Mariana is very adept at understanding dog language and was quickly able to help us understand how he really needs gentle, but firm and consistent correcting when people enter. We have been able to employ what we have learned from Mariana because it is practical and doable advice. We are amazed that we have been able to learn to read subtle physical signs our dog was displaying to prevent his energy from escalating and although he still wants to exhibit high energy or bossy behaviors at times around new people, we are able to observe and correct him quickly and lead him to the desired behavior. He really is a happier dog because he is able to remain much calmer in situations that were making him nervous or over-excited and we are enjoying him so much more! Thank you, Mariana!

I want to thank you Meg because if it wasn't for you I would have not been able to attend my grandmother's wake in NYC. I really appreciate everything that you have done for me and Jax. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of him and allowing me to put my grandmother to rest! :)

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.

About: Hello! my names Stephanie and I am 27 years old. I currently live in Parish, NY with my husband and my 2 cats Gregory and Arthur along with my 2 Golden Retrievers named Sophie & Tucker! All my cats are rescues. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was young. If I could save every animal that needed a home I would. I’m a current nursing student doing online school so I am home, They will have someone to play with as the pups love playing catch and going on walks all the time. I have a huge back yard and swimming available if your babies love to swim. The dogs love to play with new friends! They are never left home alone so your babies would never be alone and be accompanied at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Central Square on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 519 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Central Square. 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 Central Square 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.

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 Central Square 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Central Square with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
