About: Being a dog-lover in a family of dog-lovers, I love all dogs and would love to care for yours if needed! I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs. I will care for yours in any way you need, and I will create a safe environment for your dog. I am happy to provide play time, walking time, nap time, and meal time for your dog. And I promise to keep a safe, nurturing environment for your dog that ensures you the best possible care your pet can have. Plus I will be sure to send updates and pictures to your human mom/dad so they can make sure their little one is doing well! :) I currently work full time in a hybrid role, so I am able to dog sit, do check ins, do multiple walks a day. My day is flexible so I can provide all the care needed for your pup! I make sure to have my eyes on any dog I am caring for so I can make sure they are comfortable, happy, and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have a dog myself that lives in Houston with my parents. I have been taking care of dogs in Boston since 2020 when I moved here. I have been taking care of dogs overnight since 2021. I have experience with all breeds, sizes and ages. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I work from home. There are about 5 days a month I travel for work but the rest of the month I am home and available for any type of service. The dates I am unavailable are known a few weeks in advance. I live in an apartment but there is ample outdoor space. I go on at least 3 walks a day myself so I can easily take your pet with me. I have no pets myself but Charlestown is a very dog friendly area.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and other animals, and have always loved being around animals. I currently have two cats of my own and often dog sit for family friends and neighbors. I currently work from home so I’m very flexible/available during the week, and can work on your schedule and I’m fully free on weekends. I always make sure animals are taken care wherever it is, I will always make sure your animals have the most important : water, food, and a clean litter for kitties. As far as taking care of them, I treat every animal I watch like my own.
About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!
“Gabrielle was an amazing pet sitter for my cat and I’m so glad I found her. My cat was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for my trip, but Gabrielle took over like a professional cat whisperer and helped calm her and cared for her with her with a lot of attention to detail and I was so grateful! She was responsible, communicative, great with instructions and went above and beyond sending lots of pictures and updates for every visit which I loved, appreciated and looked forward to seeing everyday. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat is in such good hands. She’s been an absolute star sitter and I would highly recommend her!”
“Teylah was fantastic with our cat and us humans. She was easy to communicate with, was proactive in solving problems, improvised solutions, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared for cat. I would definitely book her again!”

Caroline was wonderful! She communicated clearly before the visit and took exceptional care of my cat while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, showing that my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Beyond feeing and litter, she provided plenty of cuddles, attention, and playtime, too. I would highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Juliet was great! She was very communicative and made sure my cat was well taken care of. I was nervous leaving my cat alone for a few days but she made me feel so much more comfortable because I knew Tuna Melt was having a great time. I’d definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Charlestown on Rover is $25.53 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 10,663 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Charlestown. 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
