“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week! Monday-Friday I am available before 1:00pm and after 10:00pm. Saturdays I am free all day. Sundays I am available before 11:00am and after 8:00pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I can crate the dogs if needed. I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.
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.
“Sarah was amazing with our dog Murphy, who is a 2 yo bullmastiff/boxer. She was always on time and spent a lot of time with him. We would highly recommend Sarah with your pets. She gave us daily updates and sent us pics. Murphy still misses her. We will definitely ask Sarah to watch Murphy again! Murphy is a high energy dog but very lovable, Sarah will be amazing with all pets We can’t thank her enough !”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.
“Emily was wonderful! She came over for a meet and greet before taking care of our three cats. I appreciated her taking the time to do that. She was extremely thorough and very communicative which I also appreciate it. She took great care of the cats and my house! She really went above and beyond. I appreciate her and definitely recommend hiring her.”
“Priscilla had been doing drops ins for our 4 month old puppy for the past few weeks. Not only does she take Paisley out for us but has been helping with her leash walking and place command. Priscilla has been on time and provides information and pictures immediately after each visit. Highly recommend Priscilla for any of your dog sitting needs!”

Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.
“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”
“Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)”
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Fitchburg is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fitchburg
I had to book a last minute request and Colin, as usual, was a rockstar with coming through for my girls. They put forth extraordinary effort to make sure my Madeline didn't steal her sister's food and, I have to say, Colin impresses me. Every. Time. (Especially when I can't figure out the technology and it takes me forever to sing their praises.) I'm looking forward to the day Khloe decides that Colin is among the best of people - Madeline and I already know that.
Elizabeth did a great job with our pets. Our one cat requires 3 meds daily for a heart condition. She administered the meds and also alerted us of an issue with the volume left in one bottle which led to a shipping issue with the vendor. We were able to resolve it immediately, so he wasn't without his one med for too long. She took care of the geckos and their crazy diets with ease. We definitely trusted and will continue to trust Elizabeth with our animal's care. She did amazing!
Emily was very reliable and caring coming by to check on my cat Henry while I was on vacation. He was a little shy at first but warmed up to her after a few visits. I had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. I liked the pictures she sent with the daily visit update. I would definitely recommend Emily if you need someone to tale care of your pets while ypu are away.
Having a dog on hospice with some extra needs makes it hard to get out for even a day since he can't travel anymore. Audrey met with our dogs and was able to come let them out just a few days later so we could travel for the entire day. We have used her several times now over the holidays so we could visit family and attend concerts in Boston on day trips. We come home to no accidents and dogs that are happily fed and not anxious. I highly recommend Audrey.
Mariah took care of our cats and Leopard geckos over Christmas break. The geckos ran out of crickets because they all decided to die (pretty common) so she went to the pet store and got them more which was above and beyond what was expected. She was persistent when it came to catching our kitty that needs his heart meds each day and knows how to play a good game of hide and seek to try to keep away. We know our animals are safe with Mariah and our house too as she also brought in packages that arrived while we were away.
Angelita was excellent with our cats, gave pets and attention to our cat that doesn't hide, and tried her best to check on the one that does. She also recognized that I must have booked the visits wrong by the amount of food I left out for the cats. I booked the first and last day of the week we where gone. When I meant to book the entire week. She contacted us to ask, because she saw the amount of cans we left out for her. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting services.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fitchburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
