About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Nice visit today with my timid dog, who’s just beginning to know Nija! Today Nija patiently walked her up and down the sidewalk and hung out on the front steps, all while interacting with her in such a friendly and patient way that by the end my pup had chilled out and seemed truly sorry to see her leave! Later we had a very calm evening walk with almost no pulling, and then she conked out for the night!”
About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have been caring for pets around my neighborhood for about two years. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have 2 years of hands on experience providing dedicated pet care through pet sitting for my neighbors and friends. My responsibilities have included caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of various breeds and temperaments. I follow detailed care instructions provided by each pet owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special dietary needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention every day. I do also work part time on certain days. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I begin by gathering detailed information about each pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical history, and behavior. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space by maintaining cleanliness and ensuring all areas accessed by the pet remain secure and organized. I monitor the pet closely, engage them in appropriate physical and mental activities, and provide companionship to ensure they feel safe and cared for. Whether at home or on-site, I am attentive, patient, and responsive to each animal’s unique needs, always aiming to create a nurturing and trustworthy environment.
About: I’ve always been good with dogs. I watch the dogs for my family and friends. I can train if you would like, but I take very good care of the dogs and make sure that they have everything they need. I have just finished college. I am free most of the time and looking to help with any of your pets needs. My schedule will fit around the pet care. I take them for walks around the neighborhood and or to the dog park. I can put them in a crate if needed but most likely won’t be needed. They have space to roam around the house and if they are dog friendly, I have others dog that they can mingle with.
About: I have cared for, fostered and rehomed many furry friends over the past 9 years. I have experience with kittens, puppies as well as adult dogs and cats. I give lots of pats, scratches and cuddles (if they are so inclined). I enjoy fetch, Lazer tag and long walks just as much as your fur baby does. I currently work part time and I create my own schedule. When I'm taking care of your family member they'll have my full undevided attention. I'm not currently available on the weekends. I respect your space. When i am visiting your home, you can relax knowing I'm going to provide the best care for your darling baby.

About: Hello, I’m Kay, a veterinary technician with 8 years of experience offering professional in-home drop-in care. With nearly a decade in veterinary medicine, I bring both compassion and clinical expertise to every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Over the past 8 years, I have gained extensive experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as supporting pets with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis. Beyond medical care, I closely monitor for changes in appetite, hydration, behavior, or mobility—subtle details that can be especially important for pets with ongoing health needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide: • Feeding and fresh water refills • Litter box cleaning or basic waste removal • Medication administration (oral, topical, injectable) • Chronic condition support and monitoring • General wellness checks (hydration, appetite, comfort level) • Visit reports with notes and photos for your reassurance In addition, I am trained to recognize early signs of distress and respond appropriately in urgent situations. If an emergency arises, I can provide immediate first aid and ensure your pet receives prompt veterinary attention. Every animal I care for is treated with the same respect and attention I would give my own. Whether your pet is a healthy, playful companion or one who requires a bit of extra medical support, you can trust that I’ll bring reliability, knowledge, and compassion to every visit. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m able to provide consistent, reliable visits throughout the week. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, making sure every pet gets attention, medication, and care exactly when they need it. I provide attentive, personalized care in your pet’s familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box or waste cleanup, play and enrichment, medication administration, and monitoring for any changes in health or behavior. I treat every pet with the same compassion and professionalism I would my own, and I provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi! I’m Regina — a lifelong dog person (and former lawyer/tech executive) who understands what it’s like to travel and need care you can truly trust. I used to worry about whether my dogs were being fed well, getting enough exercise, and feeling safe and loved — so that’s exactly what I prioritize for every dog I board. I’m based in Chestnut Hill with a small, secure yard that’s especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs who need easy outdoor access. For active pups, we get outside for real walks and adventure time — I’m a runner and love long walks, so dogs in my care get more than quick potty breaks. I also build in enrichment and calm downtime (yes, I’ll play music for dogs) so they feel settled while you’re away. I’m safety-first, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I’ll send regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is flourishing. Crate comfort: I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m also happy to board dogs who aren’t — I’ll follow your routine and preferences. Optional add-on: Drop-off and pick-up are available for an additional fee. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently on sabbatical and prioritize daycare and overnight boarding. My days already include multiple outdoor breaks and longer walks, plus plenty of calm downtime at home, so dogs get a consistent rhythm of exercise, enrichment, meals, and rest. I use set drop-off and pick-up windows to keep care structured, safe, and predictable for every dog. I care for pets in my home only, where I can keep the environment calm, consistent, and closely supervised. I follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications, and I build each day around regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and real walks (not just quick bathroom trips). I have a small yard for easy access—especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs—and I also prioritize enrichment and downtime so dogs feel settled. I have crates available for crate-trained dogs, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who aren’t crate trained as well. I’ll send updates so you always know how your dog is doing.
“We are so thankful for Tim! He gets along great with our dog, Juice. He always gives 110%. He is also very flexible with scheduling and is always reliable. We definitely plan to continue requesting Tim as long as he will let us!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Kendra did an absolutely wonderful job and went above & beyond walking our pack twice a day while I was away on a business trip. She was attentive to each of our dog's personalities and my instructions, communicated concerns when she had them, and sent the most delightful stories & photos. It made my trip so much easier knowing our dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend and will use again.
I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!
Overall good experience with Caitlin. My primary factor is how my dog responds and interacts with a walker. My dog seemed to be comfortable with Caitlin during the meet and greet...when I got home from my day trip he was a happy pup! Communication on the lead up and for the walk was good.
Danielle took the time to come meet my shy dog before the day of his walk which was really sweet and helpful for putting me at ease (and him too i’m sure). On the day of the walk, she was very gentle, sweet, and patient with him when he was nervous to come out of his crate for the walk. I highly recommend her for anyone, especially dogs that need an extra sweet and patient walker.
I can’t recommend Victor enough for anyone looking for a top notch dog walker! He was incredibly reliable, showing up with plenty of energy to match both my pup’s enthusiasm. He was attentive and caring. He always sent detailed updates with photos, and I could tell my dog felt safe and loved during their walks. Best of all, he followed all my instructions to a T. If you’re lucky enough to book him, your furry friend will thank you! 5 stars all the way.

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
