“Linh was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated the entire time we were away and provided thoughtful, consistent communication. When our flights were delayed due to THE blizzard, she showed up without hesitation to make sure Sienna was taken care of. I would honestly recommend her to anyone using Rover who wants great service, excellent communication, and someone who will truly care for your fur babies like they’re her own.”

“Deirdre took great care of my cat Nami for four days while I was away on vacation. My cat is picky about playing, so I left a few playing tips. It’s good to know that Deirdre was actively trying those tips to play with her! Besides, Deirdre followed our routines for feeding, and cleaning litter boxes. Thanks Deirdre!”

“Lucy is amazing! We have recently moved and always relied on friends and family to care for our pets. Joining Rover was new to me! I did some research and came across Lucy’s profile. We texted and she came over within a week to meet our cat Fig. While we were gone for ten days Lucy sent at least two dozen pics and videos and spent up to an hour playing with Fig at each visit. I highly recommend her for your animals care!”

About: I don’t know life without furry friends! I was born into a family with two cats and a dog. Growing up, I took care of my own hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs. For over 10 years, I have taken care of my community members’ dogs of all sizes, cats of all temperaments, and small critters. As a cat mom, I know how important it is to find a sitter who treats your pets like family and I will do just that. The last 11 years, I’ve been primarily busy with grad school and taking care of my own 3 cats but recently my eldest crossed the rainbow bridge and I now work fully remotely, so decided to pick back up what I love! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, cats, and small animals. I can also administer medication and am insured with Pet Care Insurance. I work fully remotely, so have more flexibility to watch your pets and walk your dogs! I have varying weekday morning and nighttime availability. My weekends are generally free and I plan to be available over most holidays. If I were to stay in your home to care for your animal(s), I would treat your home with the utmost respect and be able to keep them to their usual routine. I am comfortable with having your pup in my car if they like rides, need to go to the vet, or driven to a park. The same applies for kitty cats!

About: Hi, I am Julie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and recently said goodbye to my cherished 13-year-old pit/lab mix after years of loving companionship. Four years ago, I turned my deep passion for animals into a professional career, and I would be truly honored to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. Dogsitting is a calling that chose me just as much as I chose it, and because cats and dogs naturally gravitate toward me, I take special joy in winning over even the most timid pets. I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. As a massage therapist, I bring a gentle touch to my pet care, ensuring your pup receives plenty of petting, belly rubs, and ear scratches—if they enjoy that kind of affection. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, adjusting my daily routine to meet the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's taking them for long, leisurely walks or adhering to a strict feeding schedule, I am dedicated to providing the best care. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, ensuring that your pet’s health is always in good hands. Your pup will feel pampered and loved while you are away!

About: My family began taking care of different dogs at the beginning of 2024. Our licensed home kennel is a single large house with a fenced yard where the dogs can play. I work mostly from home, and my mom is a housewife, so we’re both able to spend plenty of time caring for the dogs. We’ll also share photos and videos with you to make sure you feel confident that they’re having a great stay with us! We would like to schedule a meet-and-greet (a one-night trial is preferred) before the actual stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. To follow state regulations, we require that your pets have an up-to-date rabies vaccination and that you provide the records for us to keep on file. We also need your pets to wear a collar with their current license attached. My parents and I love dogs and cats very much. We know they are part of your family, and we will treat them as part of ours as well. Thank you for trusting us! Since I work mostly from home and my mom is a housewife, we’re both home throughout the day. This gives us plenty of time to care for the pets, supervise them, and play with them as part of our daily and weekly routine. I have a clean, dedicated bedroom that can be used as a private space for pets if they need their own room. I also have a backyard that is partially fenced where pets can safely play. Whenever they are outside, I stay with them to provide supervision and ensure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I am currently a stay at home dog mom while my wife attends OSU Vet School. I have 3+ years experience with my own dogs as well several foster dogs. I recently worked at a shelter where I was a kennel manager, kennel dog caregiver, and foster/adoption coordinator. I have extensive experience care for animals and I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I am comfortable with giving medication, dogs of any size. I don’t mind helping with training reactive dogs on walks or visiting your home a few times if you’re dogs need time to get to know new people. Happy to help with dogs that have some behavioral difficulties. I am currently a stay at home dog mom! That means I have lots to time to spend with your pets! Aside from taking care of my own babies I would love to fill time with fur babies. I am very mindful and aware of my own dogs, their behavior and their needs and I will treat your dogs the same! I will give them my undivided attention and can assure you I will not put them in any situations they will not be successful or safe in.

About: Hi! We’re Jaycee and James, a dog-loving couple who are excited to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We have two dogs of our own — Bentley, our playful and energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, and Bailey, our sweet and cuddly 4-year-old mini Bernedoodle. They both love having a furry friend around, so we’re only able to care for dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. We’re an active household and love spending time outdoors. Our apartment community has two private dog parks, and we have plenty of walking and hiking trails nearby. Whether your dog loves a long walk and playtime or would rather relax and cuddle at home, we’re happy to match their routine and energy level. James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We also only care for one guest dog at a time, which allows us to give your pup plenty of individual attention and make them feel like part of the family. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat your pup like one of our own! ❤️ James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, comfortable, home-based environment where your dog can be part of our family. We only care for one guest dog at a time and require dogs to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, since we have Bentley and Bailey. We follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Framingham Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Framingham Center is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 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 pet’s 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 11,097 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Framingham Center. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Framingham Center. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
