“Maria has watched our cats on two occasions now and has done a great job each time! Hard to find with others- but she even cleans the area/litter around the litter boxes and just does a great job with everything -from actually swapping out to clean fresh bowls at each feeding. Cleanliness, and friendliness goes a long way! We are so grateful we found her. Not an easy task with 5 cats! I would recommend her to care for your animals, too.”

About: Ive taken care of my best friends dog Tucker , he is a very adorable golden retriever , and ive taken care of him by walking him, feeding him , and sleeping with him. I love giving him lots of belly rubs , cuddles , and of course kisses. Secondly Ive taken care of my boyfriends two dogs named Mabel and pebbles, they are both small dogs, and ive taken care of them by walking them , feeding them , and sleeping with them as well. Lastly I love dogs so much , I would do anything for them. Dogs love the safe calm energy that I always bring to them , which always makes me very happy because I will always give dogs the love , and tender care that they always deserve because dogs are very important , they are family! Im currently working part time right now , so I will have plenty of time to play with lots of dogs , and of course puppies!! Which im very very excited about. Near my complex I live around the corner from a park where I would take my old dog. I can take your dog to a park so that your dog can socialize with other dogs , puppies , etc (if requested). Lastly I will make sure that your dog will be on a leash the whole time , and to make sure that your loving dog will have plenty of water no matter where we are.

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: 30 years as a dog mom, 2 young school-aged kids + friendly puppy!! Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 30 years! I grew up with a dog from the time I was 4 until I was 20, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. At 28, I got my own dog, who was a beloved part of our family for nearly 13 years. Shortly after saying goodbye to her we welcomed Lola, our mini dachshund, into our family in May 2026, and she has brought so much fun and energy to our home. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care that comes with having a dog, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Our family includes two young school-aged children, so our home is loving, active, and full of attention. Lola loves having other dogs around, so we’re especially excited to welcome friendly, social dogs who enjoy playing and having a canine companion. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of a family and having plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with us! We take dogs out first thing in the morning, throughout the day as needed (typically at least every 3 hours), and again before bedtime. I am not currently working, so I’m around and available throughout the day. On weekends, we’re home most of the time with Lola and the kids, so there’s plenty of company, attention, and playtime. We enjoy getting outside for walks and, when appropriate, may visit a dog park or a dog-friendly beach when seasonally available. We’ll always consider your dog’s personality, comfort level, and energy when planning activities. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home! Our home is a dog-loving, family-friendly environment with a large yard on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods and backing up to the Hannah Trails. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and get some energy out! We have one very friendly, playful puppy (Lola) who loves having other dogs around, plus two young school-aged kids who are always happy to provide extra attention, entertainment, and cuddles. We especially enjoy welcoming dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Our puppy has free rein of the house when we’re home and is crate-trained when we leave. For guest dogs, we’re happy to use a crate when we’re away if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog isn’t crate-trained, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to work with their routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while we’re out. At night, we’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to. They can sleep in a crate, in a designated area, or even in bed with us (& Lola) if that’s their normal routine. Our goal is to keep your dog’s experience as comfortable and familiar as possible while they’re staying with us!

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read 🐾 Multi-Hour & Constant Care BookingsPlease note that my listed drop-in rates cover standard 30 to 60-minute visits. For extended, continuous care where I am required to stay at your home for multiple consecutive hours, I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour.If you need a multi-hour booking, please message me directly before confirming so I can manually adjust the request to the correct total! This ensures your pet gets my undivided attention for the entire block of time. I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.

I keep them on a leash, I NEVER let them roam free in a public area.

About: I have had animals and cared for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their animals both in their own homes and at my home. My family dog, who is now 16 years old, has been cared for by me several times in the past. I recently finished graduate school and am seeking out a full time job, and at the moment I have plenty of free time to spend with and care for your animal. I am flexible to make my schedule around the needs of your pet. I have nice grassed areas and large side walks near my apartment where I can walk your dog. My apartment is safe and comfortable for long term stays.

About: Hi! I’m Jon, a dependable, active dog lover based in Beverly. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have an 11-year-old pup named Baxter, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend. I know every dog has a different personality, pace, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Outside of dog walking, I work full-time in leadership, where reliability, communication, and responsibility are part of my everyday life. You can count on me to be on time, attentive, and to treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I’m primarily available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can also accommodate weekday requests with advance notice whenever my schedule allows. If you don’t see a time that works, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it happen! Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just enjoys companionship, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Safety is always my top priority. I’ll keep your pet secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I also believe communication is important. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Natali was fantastic with our 100lb rescue dog. Natali made our dog comfortable from day 1 which is quite a feat considering that our rescue is not particularly interested in people. In fact she's often skittish and may submission pee if scared but with Natali that never happened. She knows the right energy to bring around a rescue, she was on-time for every drop-in, she's quick to respond to messages, and she followed every instruction to a T. I would highly recommend Natali to anyone who needs a sitter”

Tawny was wonderful. She met with me for initial "meet and greet" right away, and my kitty loved her from the first moment. My kitty (over 20 yrs old) is normally shy and hides away from new people, but warmed up to Tawny right away. Tawny is kind, gentle and truly loves animals. She visited my kitty every day, and I got heart-warming photos via text from each visit. When I got back, kitty was happy, contented, as if I never left home. I am very happy that I found Tawny and can trust her with my furr-baby, when I travel from now on.

We hired Jamie based on her recommendations and repeated customers here on Rover. I was nervous to leave my two kitties, especially my elder cat who is chronically ill. Jamie was punctual and attentive to their needs, feeding, dispensing my calico’s meds, and spending time with both. She alleviated my fears by being in touch during visits, and the photos she sent assured me that they were in good hands. They seemed calm and happy, responding to her positively. My second cat is very shy, and her approach obviously was effective as her photos show him very chill. I recommend her highly.

Caden is our cats’ new favorite person! We have two cats Ollie and Oatey and they both have a little bit of different personalities; Caden catered to both. Oatey can be a little shy with new people and by the third or fourth day he was cuddling up on her lap. Ollie is more outgoing but doesn’t always engage with play (because his brother steals the show) and Caden brought her IPad for him to play with some mice games, which he appeared to love. Ollie isn’t a lap cat and by the end he was sitting in Caden's lap too. Caden was super thoughtful and attentive. She noticed when our litter robot was full and made sure to change it so our guys had fresh litter. She made sure the cats had fresh water during her visits. She gave us excellent updates and kept our cats happy while we were away. I could not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did without Caden being our sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Danvers

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Danvers is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 9,838 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Danvers. 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 Danvers. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
