About: Who doesn’t love a dog?! They're innocent and give unconditional love. And they love my scratches and pets. Prefer animals over people for sure, honestly I’m searching for my new adventure, enjoying having an easy flexible life currently and enjoy being able to give owners peace of mind when away. I follow the owners preferences and take care of them as if they were my own. I give them all the attention and love I can.
“Mackenna was amazing with Astro. She was attentive and really cared about him. She was reliable, timely and communicated well. We will totally ask her to watch Astro again 😊”
About: My love for animals started when I was little. I grew up helping take care of my own family dog. At the age of 18 I adopted my first dog and was solely responsible for her care. I’ve always helped out family members and neighbors with their animals. I also worked at Davis Farmland which gives me experience with many different animals. I tend to pet sit for people who have multiple animals. I take care of 4 dogs and a cat for a friend and it is my favorite job!! I also have experience cat sitting and bunny sitting! At the moment, I’m looking for work. I am hoping to make pet sitting a part time job or even full time job. It would make me so happy to work with animals every day! When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to have all the information needed to care for the pet(s) properly. Every animal is different but I’m confident I can always give the best care to any animal. I’m very responsible and will make sure the house stays clean and all doors stay locked.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old when I got my first puppy! I have raised puppies, provided senior care, and helped train dogs with behavioral issues. I've taken care of all kinds of breeds ranging from small to large dogs. I spend a lot of time outside and believe our pups should always join when possible, I focus on teaching off leash skills so that dogs can get the most of their time outside with me. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. I have time for regular bathroom breaks and exercise. I'm a bit of a homebody and make sure the pets get the attention they deserve! I have a large yard with a friendly dog to keep your fur friend company. I do have a couple crates of varying sizes to ensure your pet has their own space if they need it.
“I’ve used Danielle several times and would recommend her to anyone. She spends a lot of time with my dog/at my house, provides frequent updates, and leaves the house in equal or better shape then when I left it. She follows all instructions related to medicines and anything else. I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Colin is wonderful! Colin is determined to stick with it and meet my slow to warm up girls where they're at. I got home a couple hours ago to find two intact and wholly themselves dogs. They're now definitely ok with Colin coming into their world. I'm thrilled both that they're definitely making friends with Madeline and that Khloe has started coming out. She does exist! Thank you!”

Benny is a Whoodle and we do a lot of training, he recently graduated from his Canine Good Citizen Advanced class!

About: *MY AVAILABILITY HAS BEEN UPDATED THROUGH THE END OF 2026!* Hi there, my name is Jared and I currently reside in central MA, Worcester area.

My full time job is a singer/dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines and when I'm home in between contracts, I am looking to make extra cash by lending my services and experience to whatever you may need.

When I am home in between contracts with my full time job as a cruise ship singer/dancer, I have complete open availability. My schedule is set now until the end of 2026!

About: I have worked with dogs all my life. I use to work/help my mom at a kennel at the young age of 7 and our household was always full of dogs! I have had experience with many breeds. I've owned a wide range of dogs: pit bulls, labs, huskies, dash hound, terriers, rottie and pugs. I love to go for long walks, hikes, play fetch, take them swimming. I love to take my dogs out in the field so they can get rid of their energy and run free. If your dog isn’t a runner I would to take them too. I have a very flexible schedule so I could work the times around your needs and times. Dogs are my passion and I can’t wait to babysit yours!
About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and four years of hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a dog kennel/daycare. I’m currently a first-year veterinary student at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, continuing to build my knowledge and skills in animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injectable medications such as insulin, and have experience caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, including dog-aggressive dogs. My own dog has these challenges, so I understand the importance of patience, proper handling, and creating a safe environment for every pet. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, as I have a dog and cat of my own. I’m passionate about providing pets with the same attentive, compassionate care I would want for my own. I’ll be starting my first year of veterinary school soon, so my exact class schedule is not set yet. I expect to have the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings, and I’ll plan my pet care schedule around my classes. My veterinary school schedule may vary from day to day, but I’m committed to being reliable and communicating clearly about my availability. I’ll also have flexibility on weekends and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize trust and keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For overnight stays, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions, including feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and exercise needs. With four years of veterinary clinic and dog daycare experience, along with my current veterinary education, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling a variety of personalities and needs. I also have experience with dogs who may be reactive or aggressive toward other dogs, so I take introductions, walks, and environmental safety seriously. My goal is for every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.
About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.
About: Please note: Your dog must get along with other dogs if staying with me or if I'm staying at your place as my dog Winnie is with me always. She gets along very well with other dogs and cats. I have over 25 years in caring for pets on my own - mostly dogs, cats, and birds. I have owned animals my entire life, however. I have rescued, fostered, and placed dogs as well. I do work Mon-Fri but I work remotely most of the time. After work (and sometimes during), walks and play time will absolutely happen, and on the weekends it is endless really! I am fine taking dogs in my car to trails or parks as long as you are okay with that. I have experience administering medications and injections. I have experience working with dogs that are timid with new people. I will work at their pace to make them more comfortable. I do not have any restrictions for boarding except for females that are not spayed - if they are in heat or may go in heat during their stay with me, I request you get the cloth doggy diaper with pads. Other than that, I love them all and would be happy to take them off your hands for awhile or on overnights and let them have some fun! I currently am remote mostly and work 30min away should I need to go on site, so that offers a lot of flexibility. I'm able to take them outside on walks throughout the day. I am here to make your pet feel comfortable in their environment. I will try to mimic their daily routine they have at home best I can to make them have less anxiety being in a new place.
About: ive had a few different dogs growing up, i love animals. this will be something different for me but i’m looking forward to it! i’m just trying to make a little extra money. I work full-time as an infant teacher, so I have a consistent weekday schedule and plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends to care for pets! I’m home most evenings, and I love spending that time going for walks, playing, and keeping your pets company. Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or walks, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. I have pet CPR and first aid and I’m insured we’ve had a couple different dogs growing up, so i will have no problem bringing them potty, putting them in their cages, walking them ect..

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 Jefferson 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.

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.

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.
