Jennifer was a wonderful communicator while she looked after my fur family while I was away. They received lots of amazing attention and care and I received wonderful photos. I never had to worry as Jennifer is the most reliable. She’s patient and kind and I highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life, as my house has never been without pets, I’ve always loved cats and dogs, and I’ve dealt with the every pet issue in the book. I’ve administered meds, snuck meds in food, and planned mealtimes for each pets needs. I’ve taken care of 6 animals at once, personally seeing to each of their needs. With my lifetime experience, I believe I would be a great pet sitter for you! I’m currently working, but weekends I am free! My job is flexible, so I can work around schedules if needed! I can do an overnight stay or a daily check in! I spend plenty of time with play for cats and dogs, and assure each animal that I am a trusted individual. If needed I can crate your dog, or put cats in separate rooms if there are issues with other pets.

About: I have cared for my own pets for many years and have experience looking after family members' pets as well. I currently care for my four cats and previously helped care for my sister's dog by providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals has always been important to me, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I am committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time during the week, but I am available for pet care on the weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and communication and will work with pet owners to ensure their pets receive the care and attention they need. I am happy to provide updates and photos during visits so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests from owners. I understand that pets can become stressed when their owners are away, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos throughout my visits.

About: What sets me apart from most pet sitters and dog walkers is that I currently do not drive so my form of transportation will either be the bus or Uber to care for your cute furry companion. I have about 18 years under my belt with pet both cat and dog experience, so rest assured that your pet(s) will be in great hands. I currently do not own a pet due to restrictions where I currently live but I am in the process of becoming a first time owner and will be accepting in home care. Chose me as your pet caregiver, I wont let you down! I can start immediately based on where you are located. feel free to shoot me an email. I am currently taking care of my disabled mother but I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. Open availability 7 days a week until further notice. I will keep your fur baby safe! Just tell me all that he/she needs and consider it done. I take pride in providing safety and trust between you and your pet!

About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.

I recently moved to the Boston area with my two large dogs. Finding a dog walker/sitter was a top priority for me, especially since both dogs loved their last walker! Ann Marie has been professional since day one. She asks detailed questions about the dogs, and carefully chooses the best care for each one. We have used her for about a month now, and the dogs love her visits. She has gotten to know their individual personalities, and I know they look forward to when she comes! On top of her ability to connect with dogs, she is incredibly flexible. I find her easy to book and work with, especially as I balance multiple schedules, and I am not consistent with my bookings. I expect to continue working with Ann Marie for quite a while!

About: I have lovingly taken care of my dog for the past 7 years and have been trusted with caring for my neighbor's dogs of many sizes and breeds. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I will most likely be available any day of the week and anytime for you and your dog's needs. I promise to be respectful of both your dogs and your home. Having an energetic dog who overheats quickly, I have experience in providing safe walks and playtime in the summer heat. I am also more than capable of whatever things your dog may need such as bathroom breaks, crating, or feeding.

I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)

About: Ami brings ten years of veterinary technician experience and animal care expertise, including senior pet care. Tony specializes in puppy care and training from his own pet, Badger. Together we provide professional, compassionate pet sitting with average medical knowledge and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Double the people, double the care! Between the both of us, we both have open schedules, and availability during the week and weekend. We alternate well if there is a scheduling conflict. If any of us are in the clients home, then we will be sure that the pet is comfortable with us in their space. If the pet is in our home, then we will still put the pets comfort first and their needs.

About: Hi, I’m Al! 🐾 I’m a dog walker and trainer in training who loves getting dogs outside—whether it’s a long hike, group walk, or just burning off energy. I have experience handling multiple dogs and making sure everyone feels safe and has a great time. I love finding spots for dogs to swim, explore, or play fetch—if that’s their thing! In my other life, I’m a women’s sports photographer, so you can expect some pretty great photo updates 📸 My goal is always a happy, tired pup who had the best time! I’m a photographer (yes I can photograph your dog!!) and am flexible with my time management. Weekdays when work is in the way can be tough but I can help! I have experience crating dogs, long walks, special food necessities and lots love! I enjoy giving extra play time and attention or a comfortable lap to nap on!

About: I've nearly two decades of experience as the main care giver for dogs of all sizes. Currently I have a 2 year-old lab mix who loves getting to play with our boarders or day care pups! Additionally, I have successfully pet sat older dogs and those with medical issues, and can confidently handle dogs of all sizes, ensuring they receive the care and affection they deserve while their owners are away. We take walks 2-3 times a day and allow yard access and play time multiple times per day. I also have a number of enrichment puzzles if the weather isn't favorable / you have a less active dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that your dog would be able to have all to themselves. My home is two floors, but I am able to set up a comfortable sleep area for you dog on the first floor if their mobility doesn't allow them to easily access the upstairs bedrooms during boarding. I allow dogs that I sit to be off leash in my yard but never let them outside alone. A meet and greet with my your dog and my 2 year old, 35lb female lab mix is required before any boarding / daycare booking can be confirmed.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hyde Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hyde Park on Rover is $34.41 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 10,662 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hyde Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Hyde Park 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hyde Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Hyde Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hyde Park. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.

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.
