“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!”
“Love having Cari take care of my cat Ruby! She sent us pictures of her every day and made sure she had food and water. Ruby is a shy little cat but Cari was able to get her out of her shell and by the 3rd day Ruby was letting Cari pet her. I’d recommend Cari to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, ever since I can remember – I love lending a hand to my neighbors too, whether it's popping over to feed their pets, letting them out for a run, taking them on walks, or even staying overnight to keep them company. What I really adore is discovering the unique personalities and wonderful qualities that make each and every animal so special. While I work full-time, my schedule offers significant flexibility as I work remotely two days a week. This allows me to accommodate early morning walks, or I can be available for walks and check-ins throughout my workday for potty breaks or feeding, especially during unexpected cancellations. Additionally, I have ample availability on weekends and am comfortable with evening walks. I'm also happy to offer overnight stays and house-sitting, and can even leave directly from your home for my workday. When I'm looking after an animal at someone's house, I really focus on making sure they're safe, building trust, and keeping their environment as normal as possible. For safety, I stick to their usual routines, learn all about their specific needs and any health stuff, and always double-check the house to make sure everything is safe and they haven't had any accidents or have gotten into anything. Building trust with you means I'll keep you updated, respect your home and privacy, and always show how much I care about your pet as well double checking with you if I have any questions (never assuming). And keeping their environment consistent and positive really helps the animal feel secure and less stressed, so their home stays their cozy, familiar spot even when you're away.
“Eva was amazing!! She saved me last minute and was available to help walk my King Charles Spaniel in a pinch when I had a last minute work trip. She went above and beyond and took him to the park, on long walks, he had a ball! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Alaina was absolutely amazing at stopping by to take care of my bunny rabbit, Malibu! She was super communicative, and it was such a relief knowing Malibu was in great hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Alaina again!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a family dog starting when I was 10 years old, which gave me years of experience caring for and spending time with dogs. Later, I had my own dog for 12 wonderful years. He was a huge part of my life, and caring for him taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, consistency, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m excited to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away! I work overnight shifts so I’m generally available during the daytime for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can be flexible with scheduling and will work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and play safely. I currently have no pets so they will get all the attention they deserve.
“Shannon did a wonderful job caring for our dog Sasha and our bird. They were very happy and excited to see her for the drop ins. Highly recommend her and we will definitely book here again.”
“We are grateful for Angela caring for our dog while we were away. Our sweet dog has been experiencing difficulties with her hind legs and we were worried about leaving her, but Angela made us feel comfortable with her care. The peace of mind was allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you, Angela!!”

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!

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 Hingham 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hingham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
