“Amber is very attentive and reliable! Such a lovely person. I felt at ease being away from my 3 kitties as I knew they were in good hands. My shy, feral kitty Poppy warmed up to Amber right away - I have never seen Poppy do that before. Amazing!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. In 2023, I completed the Animal Behavior College Basic Dog Obedience Program along with additional certificate courses in Training Shelter Dogs, Doggie Daycare, and Teaching Private Lessons. I’m also Pet CPR certified. Beyond my education, I’ve worked professionally with dogs in a daycare environment where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand canine body language, recognize signs of stress or overstimulation, and always prioritize safety and positive experiences. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I take the time to get to know their individual needs. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I’d want for my own pet. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I currently work professionally with dogs and genuinely enjoy spending my time with them. I’m available for dog walking on Fridays and weekends, and I make it a priority to give each dog my full attention during our time together. I understand that consistency is important, so I strive to be dependable, communicate with owners, and provide updates after each walk so you know your pup is happy and well cared for. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m caring for my own pets or yours. I treat every dog as if they were a member of my own family, taking the time to get to know their personality, comfort level, and individual needs. Before every walk, I’ll make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure. I stay aware of our surroundings, avoid potentially unsafe situations whenever possible, and always keep dogs safely leashed. I also pay close attention to each dog’s body language and behavior so I can recognize signs of stress, fear, fatigue, or overstimulation and adjust our walk accordingly. I’ll always follow your care instructions, including preferred walking routes, treats, medications (if applicable), and any training cues you’d like reinforced. After each visit, I’ll provide an update with photos so you can feel confident knowing your dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide every dog with a fun, enriching, and safe experience while giving you peace of mind that they’re being cared for with patience, kindness, and professionalism.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember, as well as several dogs, so I’m no stranger to the responsibility of keeping animals. I currently work for a theatre company, but I'm usually available most weekdays. In the evening, I'm available before 5pm and after 9pm, but that changes from time to time. Everyone's pet care is different and I know a lot of animals benefit from having a familiar routine. So if you have a certain way of doing things, I'll do my best to keep that consistent for your pet!

About: Hi! I’m Cassidy, and caring for animals is something I truly love. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals and gain hands-on experience with pets of many different breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. At Bear Brook Kennels, I cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals, learning how important it is to understand each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ve also had experience caring for police K9s while they were boarded, which gave me the opportunity to work around highly trained working dogs and taught me the importance of following specific care instructions, routines, and handling requirements. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets who needed everything from daily walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship to extra patience, attention, medication administration and individualized care. I’m comfortable working with energetic pups, senior pets, shy or nervous animals, and pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. I also have a friendly personal pup who can tag along for visits or stays if you’d like your pet to have a furry friend! If your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I’m just as happy to leave my pup at home. Your pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. And I’d be honored to care for them! 🐶🐱 I’m currently working at a kennel, where I’m gaining even more hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. My schedule is already fairly flexible, and starting in mid-October, my availability will open up significantly. I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, drop-ins, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs! 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual routine and follow their care instructions closely. I’ve also been researching dog behavior and training techniques and plan to shadow local trainers in the area so I can continue learning and better understand the dogs in my care. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, supervised, and loved while they’re with me.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I work per diem as an OR nurse, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I’m available most evenings after 5:30 PM and have open availability on weekends. I enjoy staying active and love spending my free time walking, playing with, and caring for pets while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and experienced caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.I’ll provide a calm, clean, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from dogs, cats, birds, horses. Aside from my own I have also spent countless time taking care of others animals while they are gone or just need a little extra help! I currently work a part time job in healthcare so my schedule can be super flexible with notice but if you need care last minute I am more than happy to make it work the best I can for you and your pet(s). I am willing to work with you and your animals needs whatever that may be. Whether they need to be taken on long walks, like to play fetch or just sit inside and be pet!

This work arrangement allows me to provide consistent, reliable attention to your beloved companions without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Lifelong Experience My connection with animals spans my entire life—from being entrusted with special care responsibilities as a child to currently working professionally as a house and pet sitter. I've taken excellent care of homes and pets for several weeks at a time. I love both cats and dogs, and have throughout my life! I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dedham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
