“Jenna was absolutely amazing and our cat immediately accepted her as a preferred visitor by rubbing up against her and purring! Jenna also sent great pictures and wrote detailed rover cards so we knew that our girl was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“Haley was so great! This was our first time leaving our baby for the weekend, and having her gave us such peace of mind! She sent us pictures and updates at every visit, letting us know our baby was happy and safe! We will definitely be using Haley again!”
About: I've had the pleasure to be able to care for and have my own fluffy friend. I have dog sat for several families I used to nanny for, friends and family. I would be so happy to help you and your pet(s) I currently work a hybrid schedule where I can make my own hours so whenever you need someone I can make myself available any day! I cannot board because I have my own little fur baby but I can walk, feed, and care for your pet. Let me know when and where!
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.
“I was nervous leaving my cat Bowie for our first trip away, and I think Bowie was a little nervous at first too, but they quickly became good friends! Nicole was super communicative throughout our trip, and we truly felt like we had left Bowie with a trusted friend. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will 100% be booking with Nicole again!”
“Kristie and Dominick are great! I mainly communicated with Kristie and she was very professional and conscientious! She has a love for animals for sure and will take care of your furry friend very well. My poor pup Kobe got sick ans she helped out asked questions and was very helpful and kind to both Kobe and myself. I highly recommend Kristie and Dominick.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on. I have not had the opportunity to have my own dogs/cats in my home, but I've taken care of family & friends' pets for many years and have always given their fur babies such amazing care and attention. I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely. I'm currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care as often as needed during the week with lots of time for fun! Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.
“My wife and I took a trip to Spain to visit family, and since we don’t have anyone nearby to care for our pets, we were a little nervous about leaving them. But we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after them ❤️ She went above and beyond what we expected, and we’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our animals, Loki and Bella loved her!”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior. I have experience administering medication, ensuring correct schedules with feedings, and am an expert at making sure the pet is getting all the exercise and attention they need! I also have worked with a shelter walking, caring for, and even taking for visits dogs of many breeds and ages. At this time I cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs. I work an hybrid office job Monday through Friday, 8-5. I work remotely one day a week and my partner in crime Husband works remotely 2 days, making it so we are home 3 out of the 5 days each week! When we are both in office, we are gone from 7:30am-5pm. Scheduling and time away from pet can be discussed for a pet by pet basis. Any further questions and additional details can be provided! I have a very large but fenced in yard. I have two cats who are immune to dogs and generally pretend they aren’t there when we have dog sat in the past. I also have two dogs of my own! Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!
“Amethyst was so attentive to my needs and concerns while I was out of town. Like any cat mom I get nervous to leave my fur baby alone with just anyone but my little guy was in good hands!”
“Ixia was absolutely wonderful with our Pointer/Pit mix, Crimson. This was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. (We had to take a trip out of state on short notice.) From the get-go, Ixia was very professional and attentive during our phone consultation - taking notes, checking details, learning the little intricacies of Crimson's routines. Crimson also has a torn ACL, so special care has to be taken during daily activities to ensure the injury doesn't worsen. Ixia was very reliable, responsive, and communicative with us the entire time. She was on time for every visit, sent us pictures of our pup, played with her, spent lots of time in the yard, and even went above and beyond to accommodate some extra drop-ins we hadn't originally planned. We were very impressed and thankful for the loving care that she provided our animals and by her professionalism and communication. 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Ixia!”
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
About: Experience with multiple dogs and cats at a time. As well as caring for puppies and older dogs and cats.

My weekends are free for drop ins and overnights Your pets safety is always the top priority wether that’s outside or before I leave. They will always be left in a designated area if they have one as well as have water accessible at all times
About: Hi, my name is Lenore. I have taken care of pets for over 25 years and pride myself in being the best dog auntie I can be! To help owners with consistency in training, I am respectful of your regular routines and special needs. I have had success caring for skittish dogs and older dogs, and I have cared for tiny terriers as well as huge Newfies! I'm active, fit, and enjoy being outside. Thanks for considering me. I always meet with potential clients ahead of time for a free "meet and greet." I also provide loving cat care. (Check out the picture of my "grand cat" MuMu, on the photo page. I have a very flexible schedule and am often available for last minute needs. I am an early riser and have no fixed plans on weekends. I can provide care for your dogs in your own home, respecting your routines, limits, and habits. I do a thorough walk through with pet owners and make sure I get emergency contacts. In addition, I collect information on what the dogs appreciate! (Belly rubs? Tug of war games? Special snuggles?)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dartmouth
Kristie was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we chose her! Our cat usually takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she went right up to Kristie on the very first day! It made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll 100% be using Kristie again in the future!
I was nervous leaving my cat Bowie for our first trip away, and I think Bowie was a little nervous at first too, but they quickly became good friends! Nicole was super communicative throughout our trip, and we truly felt like we had left Bowie with a trusted friend. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will 100% be booking with Nicole again!
Jenna is absolutely amazing. This was our second booking with Jenna and our cat clearly adores her. Jenna not only comes to feed her and give her pets, but also looks out for our cat’s welfare and comfort during her visits as well. It is such a comfort to know she is in good hands when we are away!
This is our first time using Rover and we have to say there isn't a better option for our precious Lacey. We chose Barbara for her experience. After reading her profile and reviews we thought she'd be a perfect candidate. Lacey can be affectionate but often times she's to independent to bother. With the meet and greet she seemed comfortable and even allowed Barbara to pet her which usually takes some time but it was a sign. Everything went so well. We felt at ease knowing Lacey was comfortable with Barbara. We loved all of her pictures and we could tell that Lacey happy with Barbara's company. We're so thankful everything went as well as it did and we truly appreciate how caring and patient Barbara was with her. We would definitely recommend Barbara she really exceeded out expectations.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dartmouth on Rover is $21.09 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,100 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dartmouth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dartmouth. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
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.
