“My husband and I didn’t have to worry about our animals for a second during our wedding weekend thanks to Eileen! With our Maid of Honor and Best Man’s cats at the house as well we entrusted Eileen with SEVEN needy babies and she took it all on no problem, you’re incredible thank you for everything Eileen!!”

“Lacey was amazing. My dogs felt loved and was given the space they needed to play, cuddle, and or stand back and observe. She followed all my instructions and even stayed longer than she had to just to make sure my babies were okay. I cannot express the gratitude I feel. It was very scary leaving my babies in the care of a stranger, but they loved Lacey and she truly treated them as her own.”

“Brian & Tanya were amazing and im glad we found them. They sent us so many photos of our fur babies every visit. They were great with our pets and very pleasant to work with all around. We will absolutely book with them again in the future. If you're reading this review trying to decide who to go with look no further you found the best :)”
“Erica was wonderful! Our sitter had to cancel last minute and we had to find someone to take care of Koda. Erica responded right away and was able to come let Koda outside within an hour or so of sending the request. Koda loved her! Would definitely have Erica take care of her again!”


About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has worked hands on in an animal shelter for many years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and special routines. I offer drop in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and boarding, with light grooming available for an additional fee. I’m comfortable giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and taking the extra time needed to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For boarding, I do ask that dogs are cat tolerant. I have three medically challenged cats of my own and regularly foster cats and dogs, so my home is very animal focused and used to having furry visitors! Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, patience, and individualized care. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work as a Cattery Caretaker at an animal shelter, so I’m around animals and caring for them throughout my workday. Outside of work, I have my own cats and regularly foster cats and dogs, so I’m very used to making time for feeding, cleaning, medications, walks, enrichment, and giving each animal individual attention. Currently working Full time! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside time and play. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“Love the photos! This was our first time using anyone for a pop in visit. This was totally last minute! Asked Paul and his fiance last night at 7pm to please help us, and without hesitation they came right over and met our boys. They did a pop in visit today and they were wonderful!!! Will definitely use them again :) They were great!!!! Thank you both so much !”

About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that
“Dylan did a fantastic job with our menagerie while we were gone for just over a week. Dylan had to deal with one dog and three cats (though two cats decided to play invisible for the duration - they are very skittish). I believe Dylan went over and above what we asked for and we would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Dylan to any prospective clients. Dylan is obviously a true animal lover. We will definitely be requesting Dylan look after our pets in the future should we require this type of service again. Dylan provided regular updates with photos and it was obvious from the huge grin on our little dogs face (she's a smiler) that she was loving every minute of the attention. One of the cats even showed face to get in on the action. A heartfelt thanks goes out to Dylan for the service he provided.”

About: I've been fostering dogs and cats since 2013, I've done pet sitting for 5 years, and I worked at an animal boarding facility for a little over a year. I can give medication, and I have experience with all sorts of pets. I currently work part time, so I have quite a bit of time to stop by and check on your pet. Or, if I'm staying in your home, your pet will have lots of attention because I will be home most of the day. I work Sunday-Thursday, 10am-3pm. Depending on the animals needs, I'm able to do anything and everything to make them feel comfortable when they not so furry parents aren't home.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy senior cat who just wants a cozy lap, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including those with special medical or behavioral needs. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers twitch—while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with you pet. I am available after 2pm throughout the week and my weekends are open. My space is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. With space to roam, nap, and play, your furry friend will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. I offer a clean, secure, and peaceful environment—free from hazards and full of love. Whether it’s a quiet corner for a cat to curl up or a fenced yard for dogs to stretch their legs, I’ve created a space that caters to all personalities and energy levels. Pets enjoy supervised playtime, cozy sleeping areas, and a calm atmosphere that helps ease separation anxiety. I maintain a consistent routine, provide fresh water and clean bedding daily, and ensure every guest receives personalized attention. Plus, I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see just how relaxed and happy your pet is during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been around them since I was a child. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and family, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company with plenty of cuddles, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family, providing reliable care, affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, evening walks, overnight care, or weekend attention, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Jen is absolutely the BEST petsitter you will ever experience. My cat is very high maintenance with her attitude and her massive hair (forest cat). Upon my arrival home kitty was calm, very content , and had an extensive grooming! My home was exceptionally clean with the removal of litter and cat food cans. Jen met me before the sitting dates and she was extremely knowledgeable . She has tons of common sense--- You will not need to give her pages of instruction. She GETS IT ! In addition, my plants were watered during this 94 degree weather , mail was placed neatly inside, and trash cans were taken to the curb . Photos are sent to you at each visit. Love Jen to take care of my cat.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Charlestown is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,744 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Charlestown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
