About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs for years now. More cats than dogs but just about the same experience and love of course! I currently work part time as a waitress night shifts! During the daytime I am completely available! My days are quite boring, I’d love to fill that space by spending time with animals! I love cats and dogs just as if they are family! Safety and care is always a number one priority to me. Treating your animals like they are my own is a priority.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my heart. I was lucky enough to share 20 beautiful years with my two pups, who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. Loving and caring for them shaped the way I show up for every animal I meet. I have a naturally calm, grounded energy, and animals seem to feel that right away. Most pets warm up to me quickly, whether they’re playful and energetic or a little shy and need gentle patience. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I provide. Your pet won’t just be watched… they’ll be cared for with presence, respect, and lots of love. Hugs- Auntie Trie Hi, I’m Trie – a traveling artist with a heart full of love for furry companions! While I spend most of my time creating intuitive art and sharing it at music festivals and events, I also cherish the quiet, grounding joy that comes from the company of pets. Pet sitting is my way of adding a little extra income while also getting some much-loved snuggles and tail wags in return. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. That’s why I offer more than just feeding and walking — I provide companionship, comfort, and care. Plus, as an artist with a keen eye, I’ll send you professional-quality photo updates so you don’t miss a beat (or a bark). Whether your pup needs a playmate, your cat needs some chill company, or your plants just need a good watering — I’m here to help make your time away stress-free. Let’s chat and make sure your pets (and peace of mind) are in good hands I will take care and love of your pet in your home just as I would it was my pet or home. I will make sure that they stay safe and protect your belongings.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since age 10 and am trusted by family, friends, and neighbors with their fur-babies. I’m comfortable walking, bathing, helping train, and just hanging out with your favorite furry family member! I work remotely, so can drop by any time of day and am comfortable with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and ages. :) As a remote worker, it’s pretty easy for me to get up and care for a furry friend whenever! My flexible schedule allows more time to hang during the week anytime, and sometimes on weekends. I care for pets within the client’s home, not my own — but as a girl who loves a rule book, as long as you outline your comfortability and your pup’s needs, I’m good to do whatever is needed!

About: When your dog stays with our family, they'll be treated like one of our own. I provide a calm, loving home with a large fenced yard where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. Because we don't have dogs of our own, every guest gets our full focus and lots of one-on-one care. Fully insured through Pet Sitter Associates for added peace of mind. Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to provide plenty of availability for potty breaks, walks and playtime with your pup. Located in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking opportunities. I know leaving your dog can be stressful. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. If your dog requires more boundaries to keep them safe, they can be set up in a sectioned area in the main part of the house to ensure that they are safe but still get plenty of attention.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ipswich on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $35 per visit. 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.

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.

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 Ipswich 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

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 , 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.
