“We could not have asked more from Sloane. She was great throughout the whole process! I really enjoyed how thoughtful, caring, and attentive she was with our kittens. She also kept us updated sporadically during the days we were gone. Thank you for taking such good care of our cats!”
“Szu is incredibly responsible and attentive! We even asked her last minute to help with our automatic litter box, and she handled everything perfectly. Highly recommended!”

He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. From training my first family dog, to boarding multiple dogs at a time in high school, to now taking care of pups around the city - I have loved every second of it! I treat dogs like humans - taking into consideration their feelings and wants. Unfortunately, I am not always home so it wouldn't be fair to get a dog of my own. But the times I am home for extended periods of time, I love being able to spend time with and take care of a dog like they're my own. My old roommate had the Rover account we used in the past but she moved out so I wanted to get my own!
“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!”
“Emily was the perfect cat sitter! She responded very quickly to all of my messages and maintained great communication throughout the entire time I was gone. I would definitely book with Emily again.”
“Miliana took care of our cat while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to connect with her, bringing a laser pointer one day to play with her. Miliana was very responsive and always shared photos and was able to stop by even during a large snow storm. Highly would recommend!!”
“Anna was a fantastic pet-sitter and I'm so glad I chose her to care for my cat Betty. Anna was excellent! She was responsive, communicative in booking, came over for a intro visit, and followed all the care instructions. She sent thorough updates on each visit, sent pictures, and really bonded with my (grumpy) cat. I loved her updates on my cat's behavior, bowel movements, and eating/drinking habits. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing I had her as a pet sitter, which is something all pet owners seek. I definitely recommend Anna for cat drop-in visits and intend to book her for future travel. Thank you Anna!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and others’ since I was about 8 years old. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pet-sitting needs, and I genuinely love being able to help out. I grew up with both cats and dogs (and a few other animals along the way!), and spent a lot of time training and doing agility work with my family’s Border Collie. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior pets, as well as all sizes and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications to your pets, and have had experience doing this with both cats and dogs. I did a lot of dog walking this summer during the weekdays (and loved it!) , but I’m starting a new position in July so my availability is going to shift to weekends only. My cats are indoor cats and have plenty of access to toys, climbing trees/stimulation, food and water, and their litter box! I would ensure that your pets are extremely well cared for according to your instructions.
“Serena was super attentive to my cats medication needs, provided ample playtime and connected with my cat while I was away. Her extensive experience with cats shows and I would definitely book her again. Serena did a great job.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Charlestown is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Haowen was amazing with my rabbits! This was my first time using Rover and it was a great first experience! He sent us pictures every day of what he was doing and when I got back from vacation, their area was spotless and they had plenty of food and water! He followed all of my instructions to a tea. Also, while I was gone my rabbits ran out of food, but he went to the pet store to grab more for us! He also picked up my Amazon packages for me which was nice. Definitely going to rebook him again!
Annaliese was such a great sitter to work with! She was very attentive to all of our animals and extremely communicative with us. She took such great care of our animals when we were gone and was patient with our shy/nervous cat and took the time to adapt and learn how to make our cats experience with the sitter visits better over the 3 days that Annaliese sat for us. We really appreciated her calm nature and willingness to get to know our pets and their needs. We will absolutely be reaching out again for future pet sitting needs!
Alyssa was a joy to work with and took exceptional care of our two adolescent male cats when we needed to be out of town on short notice. It was our first time leaving them with a sitter for drop in visits and I was incredibly comforted by her frequent communication, daily updates about their health, and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing Alyssa was taking good care of our boys. We plan to book her again when we need to be out of town
Danny was great! He looked after our two cats while we were on a hiking trip out of town; once we returned, it was clear both had been well taken care of! Danny was very communicative throughout the duration of their care and went above and beyond to look after our property while we were gone. If you book with Danny, you'll be in good hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Charlestown on Rover is $25.53 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 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 September 2026, there are 10,527 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.
