About: I’ve watched after friends/neighbors pets (dogs, cats, fish). While I don’t have any pets in my current home, I was raised with both dogs and cats! I am currently on summer vacation, so I will have free time throughout the day or evening to care for your pet(s)! I am very flexible with timing, so I can work around your schedule. My focus will be on building trust with your pet and helping them feel safe while you are away. I am very patient and will focus on what the pet needs in the moment to help them feel more comfortable.
“Julie provides a truly special experience for the pets she cares for. My two special needs cats get playtime, cuddles and everything else they would need two feel comfortable while I'm away. She also goes above and beyond to care for my home. Thanks Julie!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two family dogs, spent two years walking dogs through Wag!, and now have a dog of my own who I trained myself using positive reinforcement. In addition to professional dog walking, I've also cared for the dogs of family and friends, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, plenty of playtime, or just some extra love and attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and keeping you updated along the way. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate my clients' needs whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicating clearly if anything comes up. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or regular weekly visits, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. During walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use secure leash handling, and make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise while staying safe. I'll also send photo updates so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Adelle did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were away. She communicated well and made the process seamless. This was our first time using Rover and we will be using Rover (and hopefully working with Adelle) again because of our great experience with her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. Growing up, I’ve owned and been trusted to watch a wide range of pets, but I love being around dogs of all ages! I’m currently a graduate student, with classes only taking up half of my week, so I have multiple days I can devote to pet care! Usually, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are my pet days. When entering your home, respect is my top priority. It’s a privilege to be let into your space, and I will respect your home and pet as if they were my own.
“Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved them my whole life. I've dog sat for friends and co-workers, including overnight stays, and always treat your pet and home with the utmost care. I take pride in leaving your home just as clean as I found it while making sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and cuddles so that you don't have to worry while you're away. I work remotely Monday-Friday with a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks to care for your pet and give them lots of love during the day! I am able and willing to travel to you and take great pride in being a considerate, tidy, and responsible houseguest. My goal is to leave your home looking like it did before I arrived!
“Natalia was wonderful!! She was kind, responsive, and clearly loves animals. She took great care of our cats and even brushed them. You can tell from the pictures she sent us that our cats felt very comfortable and playful around her. I’d definitely recommend her as a Rover and would use her services in the future!!”
“Jose is wonderful as always! Came home to happy cats full of love and treats! Jose is communicative, caring and always sends amazing updates with pictures 💗”
“Jana was great with my two dogs! Sent lots of photos and info on how the visit went and she above all made sure that both dogs had a safe visit. I will definitely be using her again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Above and beyond cat care⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We could not be happier with Sylvia. She was attentive, kind, punctual, and an excellent communicator before and during our trip. Our cats absolutely adored her, and it showed in every update. What truly set her apart was her initiative: I forgot to even mention the litter box routine, and she still cleaned the litter boxes and the entire area around them, unasked, and handled it professionally. That kind of judgment and care is rare. She made sure our kitties had the best experience: fresh food and water, clean litter, playtime, cuddles, and thoughtful check-ins with photos. We came home to relaxed, happy cats and a tidy space. Her service is unbelievable for the fee she charges…truly above and beyond. We recommend Sylvia without hesitation.”
“Sabina did an amazing job. Went above and beyond in taking care of my cat even bringing over a comb, some rub in shampoo, and staying extra one day. Truly a great cat sitter!”

Sydney is amazing!!! She has lots of experience working with dogs and it shows. Mine can be a bit rowdy at times but she had them sitting and calm within like a minute of being there! She’s super sweet and communicative as well. We would 100% use Sydney again. I had 0 concerns after meeting her and our experience was great!
I booked Claire while traveling out of state to care for my cat, Zelish, and she was exceptional. Claire was incredibly receptive to Zelish’s care instructions, paying close attention to specific details like water quality and regulating the apartment temperature during a severe heat wave. She even thoughtfully offered to water my plants, though it wasn't needed because I thoroughly watered before my departure. Her frequent photo updates gave me complete peace of mind while away. I am extremely grateful for her attentive care and would highly recommend booking with her again.

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 Chestnut Hill 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 Chestnut Hill. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
