âLauren was amazing with my cat! She sent updates and photos each day which made me feel so much better about being away. My fur baby warmed up to her very quickly. I highly recommend!â
âAmazing communication and flexibility! Our senior kitty had some last minute med changes and she was extremely helpful coordinating with us! She did an amazing job with our 2 cats!â
About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. Iâm available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.
âStacey took great care of my two cats and was up for the challenge of taking care of them in the early stages of their introduction to each other. She sent lots of cute photos and helpful updates, and I can tell that she really loves cats.â
âJess has cared for our dog multiple times now and she always provides detailed notes so we know how our dog did while we were away and cares for our dog like her own!â
âWe really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!â
âElizabeth was a life saver! She did such an amazing job with our dog who can be a bit of a handful! Very professional and cared for Stella like she was her own, I was really nervous leaving her with someone new for the first time and Elizabeth put our minds at ease. Canât recommend her enough!â
About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs, as well as have a wide range of experience with caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. My apartment at this moment does not allow for dogs, so I really am looking for some dogs to give some tender loving care to in the meantime! I am a teacher, so I am free afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends! I am a teacher- so afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends work for me! During the summer, I have a lot more flexibility as well. I am currently offering drop-in visits, as well as dog walking! I am looking for dogs to love on, as I can not have my own in my current apartment.
âAllegra has been great with Ozzie and very supportive of our schedule with helping out with his potty breaks, dinners and play times. Ozzie loves to see her every time she visits! Thank you again Allegra for looking after Ozzie đđđźâ
âMandi was great when she stopped by to meet Rosie and I. She took a lot of notes, and did great with Rosie, which made me feel much better about leaving for my out of town work gig knowing that Rosie would be well cared for.â
âThank you so much Paula. You are so great! You went above and beyond for the boys and I cannot express how grateful I am! Thank you for all of the photos you sent, being patient with Bear, and accepting Blueberrys very exciting âhellosâ. I hope we can work together again in the future and I know the boys feel the same â¤ď¸ Thank you again for treating the boys like your own â¤ď¸â
âMagan has been a long time trusted pet sitter for me! I have four cats and a great dane, and I trust her with the detailed care for all my animals, and my home. She treats my animals like her own! The cats are pretty self sufficient with automatic feeders and a litter robot, both of which Magan learned how to use easily. One of the cats used to need pill form medication twice a day, which she was confident and great and administering. She gives the cats all the snuggles, pets, and love, so they donât feel lonely even if I am only gone for a day! My dog, Maggie, is a rescue, she is very shy and timid. Magan let Maggie come to her and did everything perfectly to not spook her until she was comfortable. She is confident and strong walking her, because she is a strong dog! Overall, if you want your home and babies to be treated with all the love and respect they deserve, book Magan as your pet sitter!â
âOur pets were in good hands with Maya. She sent updates twice a day and included pictures. We now feel good about taking extended vacations knowing we can hire Maya in the future.â
About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. Iâm currently working 5 days per week with weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Friday or anytime Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clientsâ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!
âKatie jumped in last minute after our dog sitter had a family emergency and made it possible for us to still take our trip! Our dog is 125lb and very nervous around new people. We only had a few days to do introductions and Katie showed up every day for meetups before we left. Our dog warmed up to her really fast and she did amazing with him!! Thank you Katie!!â
âHillary was wonderful checking in on our cats while we were on vacation. She made sure both cats ate their food even though they always want each otherâs (one cat has prescription food). She did a great job of checking in with us. Weâll definitely book with her again!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fitchburg
Christine recently took care of my nearly 14 year old cat, Huggy. Christine was extremely attentive to detail, from taking precise notes during the meet and greet to texting me is something seemed off. She was great at administering oral medication to Huggy and ensuring he had his fill of playing. I came back home to a very happy grandpa. Overall, I highly recommend Christine for future bookings.
Ava was wonderful with my two cats over the holiday break! They really loved Ava and enjoyed her visits. She made sure to play with them, keep their box clean and the area around it swept, and took care of and trash that was produced throughout the week. Would definitely have her sit again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fitchburg is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,500 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fitchburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 with handling special pet needs in Fitchburg. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
