“This is the second time we’ve hired Sam to drop in on our pug, Charlie, and once again, she did a fantastic job! Sam is reliable, communicative, and someone we feel very comfortable trusting with Charlie. In fact, we will be booking her again this week. Highly recommended!”
“Erica did a great job taking care of our cats. They are seniors with special needs and more work than most cats. Erica sent us pictures of the cats during her visits which put us at ease. The cats warmed up to her right away. Would definitely book her again and recommend her.”
“Valerie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Willow for the past week! She provided us with detailed updates, photos and videos each day which was such a comfort to us while we were away. Willow doesn’t warm up to new people very easily, but she seemed comfortable with Valerie very quickly, which is a testament to the loving attention she provided! We would happily book with Valerie again and recommend her to others in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
About: I've been a dog owner and lover my whole life, and I've cared for dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to sweet senior babies who just need a little extra patience and TLC. I have hands-on experience with small breeds and understand that little dogs often have big personalities and specific needs. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming — no chaos, no stress. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, so I'm comfortable with medications, mobility issues, or anything that requires a little more attentiveness. When your dog is with me, they're not just being "watched" — they're being cared for like they belong here I work from home in a calm environment. I have two cats that are very well behaved and one dog who is a little crazy. She is deaf with some separation anxiety and OCD, but she is such a little sweetheart. I spend all day waiting on these guys hand and foot, what’s one or two more? 😊 My sweet, friendly dog will keep yours company all day long. I live on a cul-de-sac and we take several walks throughout the day.
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.

“Nora did a fantastic job with my cat! On our first meeting with her we felt very comfortable. I was quite nervous about how my cat would be but she sent pictures and comments everyday to ease my mind. I would highly recommend Nora. She is so sweet with my pet and very reliable. I hope that she will be available in the future! Thanks Nora!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.

Reach out and I will do my best to make it happen! If your pet needs it- I will do it. Over night stays, check ins, walks, playing, grooming and feeding. They deserve the very best always
“Another awesome job by Mariana. When I came home, my critters were all safe and healthy, no mean feat when you consider that none of them are a cat or dog. The Opossums (USDA & NYS licensed for Education) were happy to have gotten extra treats, and even the hawk (NYS falconry license) was cared for and in perfect condition. THANKS!!!”
“Brent is amazing, always checking in and providing photos. We have booked many times and will again! My dog can be very naughty and he takes it in stride everytime!”
“Sabrina was very happy to have Brook some visit her. It was a relief to us to know that someone would look in on Sabrina and have some company while we were away. We definitely would contact Brook again when we need a dog sitter.”

About: Hi I’ve owned black labs and my senior German Shepard recently passed. There are no dogs in my house. If you let me watch your dog he/she would get a lot of play time, exercise and treats if allowed. I also take care of my son’s Irish wolfhound when he goes on vacation. I’m currently working part time. My 13 year old German Shepard recently passed so I thought I would be able to assist other dog owners. I have a nice, clean home for your pet along with fenced in yard. I would be available whenever needed. I am an attentive pet parents. I have a fenced yard, spare rooms if needed for quiet time.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Central Square is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
