“Alyssa was right on time, communicative and professional! My cat requires heart medication at specific times and she was able to give it to her with ease! She is the best!”
“Indigo was great with the cats! They warmed up to Indigo quickly and seemed comfortable. Indigo was communicated well, asked great questions, and took excellent care of our pets.”
“Thank you Julian for looking after our sweet Murray!! Julian was excellent with our shy 5yr old tuxedo. He was fed twice a day and Julian was able to give him his eye drops. Julian was very communicative and sent in lots of pictures with each check-in. We knew Murray was in good hands- thank you so much Julian- we will definitiely use your services again!”
About: I grew up always having at least one dog in my home, I now have two. I was tasked with feeding, walking, and playing with them. Often times when neighbors and friends would go out of town I would look after their pets, staying at their house when needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week, I am booked from 11am to 1pm most of the week and from 11am to 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On the weekends I often go away, but I can likely be available if requested. When caring for someone’s pet I always make sure to follow the instructions given. This can rang from their diet, to their bathroom / walking schedule, to whatever else they may need.
“Alexa went above and beyond with our old girl. She is also the first sitter our dog has not barked at through every single visit. She was apparently comfortable enough to eat while we away! She gave Belle a lot of extra attention so our senior girl would not feel abandoned while we were on vacation. There were a lot of incredible pictures and even some cute videos. We will be highly recommending Alexa and if we go away again, she’s now her first choice. We really appreciate her taking time on this holiday weekend to take care of our girl.”
About: I'm happy to work with dogs of all walks and understand some dogs may need more time than others to get to know me. I'm experienced with training tools (crates/prong/ecollar) through working with a professional trainer with my own dog (a 3yo 80lb GSD mix), though respect owners' choices who prefer not to use them. My preferred relationship building style is through play and trust, putting dogs' safety and needs first. I currently work a full time 9-5 on weekdays. I'm available on weekends for drop ins and walks. 1-2 mile trail walks offered in the morning hours of summer and from dusk-dawn in other seasons. I often put the dogs safety and needs first and respect any boundaries you/your dog have. Aside from drop ins and a walk around the neighborhood, im very open (and love the great outdoors) to taking your pup on a short 1-2mi hike at nearby public dog friendly trails. My dog would love a hiking buddy if his vibes are right with yours!
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our 11 yr old PORTY! Oreo loved meeting her and they hit it off immediately. I reached out to Heather for a drop in a few days prior and she was accommodating and was great about sharing messages and photos on her visit-Oreo loved her walk and we will certainly use her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

I work from home Monday through Friday and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for pet care essentially all day. My weekends are a bit busier but I almost always stay local. I will take special care of your pet while respecting your home and requirements for pet care. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve had pets since age 6 and have 2 of my own dogs. Love to take care of all kinds of pets. Trying to pursue a veterinary career and gaining more experience with animals would be great. I currently have 4 days of the week off, which make this easier to provide boarding services, and longer days. Work around my own schedule. I have a fenced yard, two dogs and one cat who love to play with other animals. Playtime is a must and dog walks if requested.
About: Hi I’m Talia! I’ve cared for pets of friends/family for years. I’ll make sure to take care of your furry friend like they’re my own!

“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
“Riley took to Jeanine right away which was impressive for him. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands! This was a great experience and I will use Jeanine again!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. I adopted my new best friend Blu about a year ago, a Terrier-Schnauzer mix, and he's changed our lives. I love Chicago and how dog friendly the city is. I know how much work is involved in dog care, but also what a source of happiness dogs bring to a home, and I'm always looking to do work that I find genuinely fulfilling. “Happiness is a warm puppy.” —Charles M. Schulz

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dunstable stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dunstable choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dunstable with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
