“Valerie was very reliable and provided great care for our Great Dane and Shiba Inu while we were out of state for 5 days. Not only that, but she made herself available for us in a last-minute situation which we were very grateful for. She communicated well with us whenever there were issues or concerns. Our dogs were very content when we arrived at home which proves how well they were taken care of😊 We will definitely be reaching out to Valerie again for help with our dogs!”
“Jaycee was very attentive and professional. Our dogs were very happy when we came home which shows that she took good care of them. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. And often house sit for family and friends. I will keep your animals safe while having fun ! I am currently working remotely and have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I am available nights and weekends to house sit and have a flexible schedule during the week . I will ensure to keep your animals safe by following the owners instructions, maintaining a safe environment and paying close attention to their needs at all times.
“Zachary was great! We were away for the day and he came by a few times throughout the day to walk our two labs. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch our pups again some time soon!”
About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.
About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.
“Nathalia was terrific! She took great care of the puppers and kept me updated with how they were while I was away. I would highly recommend her if you need a reliable sitter!”
“Thanks so much for taking Luna for a couple of walks today on such short notice. It was peace of mind knowing you showed up for her. She loves you guys!”
“Leonardo took wonderful care of my two senior cats, including one that requires medication twice a day, while I was gone for the weekend. They were clearly well tended to when I came home. He was very communicative and lovely to work with. I would definitely choose Leonardo again and recommend others to do the same!”
“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two siamese cats. They are really needy, but were in great spirits when we got back. Kat was always on time and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. The food area and litter boxes were spotlessly clean and so was our apartment.”
“OMG, Juliette is amazing! She came each day almost to the minute and took care of everything. She kept us updated with pics and videos of our kitties and went above and beyond by doing whatever she could to make each visit perfect! Highly recommend!”
About: I've been a natural with dogs my entire life, and my Vizsla is living proof of what patient, positive training can accomplish. I've personally trained her to perform unique tricks like jumping from walls, leaping onto my back on command, and responding to advanced cues that showcase trust and two-way communication. Training Expertise: - Crate Training: Creating a safe, comfortable den space for anxious or young dogs - Obedience Basics: Sit, stay, come, heel, and other essential commands - Socialization: Helping dogs become confident around new people, animals, and environments - Trick Training: Teaching fun, impressive tricks that build confidence and mental stimulation - Behavior Training: pulling, recall, impulse control using positive reinforcement What I Offer: I understand that every dog has a unique personality and learning style. Whether your pup needs structured training, active play, or just a calm, secure environment, I tailor my approach to their individual needs. My fenced yard provides a safe space for off-leash play and training sessions. Energy & Activity Levels: I'm active and love spending time outdoors with dogs. I keep dogs engaged both physically and mentally. I'm equally comfortable with high-energy breeds that need outlets and senior dogs who prefer gentler activities. Your dog won't just be watched, they'll be understood, engaged, and cared for like family. Cheers! Pet care isn't just something I do, it's part of my lifestyle! I'm already out with my Vizsla for a least 1.5 hours every day, exploring amazing spots like Wompatuck State Park, Blue Hills, and Bare Cove Park. Your dog will come along (on leash) and be part of our daily adventure crew! I keep things consistent with regular feeding times, potty breaks, and plenty of rest—dogs thrive on routine! If your pup is crate-trained, they're welcome to use their crate as their cozy safe space whenever they need it. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure every dog gets mental stimulation through play, training, and lots of love throughout the day. I supervise all outdoor time, my yard is fully fenced for worry-free play, and I use secure restraints for car rides. You'll get daily photo updates so you can see your furry friend having a blast!
“Caroline was wonderful, reliable and local. Molly my little yorkie received great care. Caroline sent multiple pictures of Molly while I was away which was so comforting. I would definitely recommend and share. Thanks again.”
“It was my first time booking through Rover. Charlee was great! She sent me cute photos of my baby girl which made me feel good knowing Marley was doing well. I will book her again for sure!”
“We had an amazing experience introducing our pets to Micky for the first time. You can tell he’s nurturing and attentive. Looking forward to a boarding service in the near future!”
About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for 5+ years! I’m a teacher, so I’m away during the day, but my husband works from home full-time. I also have grooming experience and know all kinds of dog behaviors. Our dog is friendly but has high anxiety, so we require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare. Walks don’t need one. We treat every pup like family! I am a teacher and not around during the day but my fiance works from home FT! Not only do you have one person caring for your dog, but TWO! There is a lot of yard space right behind my apartment. I care for your animals as I care for my own, maybe will sometimes spoil them too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hingham
My husbands work scheduule often changes so when we needed someone on short notice Alaina responed quickly and was so happy to jump in and help. When she came to meet Poppy she got right down on the floor to play with her and engaged her wholeheartedly at Poppy's toy obsessed level of enthusiasm for playing fetch, tug and release. She kept it upbeat and fun ensuring that Poppy would right away decide that she liked this new person. We look forward to having Alaina come again and so does Poppy!

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.

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 .
