She loves that and we’re so new to the area, we haven’t found her some dog friends yet.

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.
“I’ve been on this app for many years and have a myriad of sitters, however this is the best experience I’ve had. Noelle has been an absolute legend! She's so communicative, incredible with the old and fragile Spaniel or the bizarre and unwieldy chihuahua. I’m grateful for people like Noelle that make time away from our treasured roommates so stress free!”
“Luke took SUCH GOOD care of my puppy! He asked me about any triggers for her and was so thoughtful! I am picky when it comes to my baby lol and he met us beforehand and I felt very comfortable having him take care of my girl. I seriously recommended!!!”
“Ann is awesome! I made a last minute drop in request and she was so responsive and sweet. She was extremely thorough and caring with my dog, she went above and beyond to make her comfortable when she was nervous. I would absolutely hire Ann again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Gabrielle was wonderful! She was reliable, attentive, and took such great care of Penny while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and made sure Penny got plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.
Lan-Ting was incredibly caring and great to work with. She took terrific care of my cat again. He was extremely shy at first, but she got him out of his shell and managed to have him laying on his back getting his belly brushed by the middle of the trip. Thank you :)
Caitlyn is truly the best! She’s taken care of our 2 cats during long trips ranging from 2-4 weeks multiple times now and never fails to go above and beyond during every visit! She takes special care to make sure everyone has eaten, gets plenty of pets, treats and playtime! I couldn’t recommend her more ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Charlestown on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,620 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.
