About: I am a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I have always had pets since I was a little girl. I worked at an animal hospital throughout high school and college, I gained a lot of pet care experience there. I also worked on a farm growing up where I took care of horses, cats and dogs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, as I have 2 kitties I care for very much! I am confident in handling all types of pet personalities and needs. I currently work 3 days per week not on a set schedule. I have 4 days off per week which is why I would love to do dog walking/sitting on those off days! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Watertown, MA. I love to walk around Fresh Pond, I also live near several dog parks! I can’t wait to meet your pup :)
About: I've been a lover of all animals for my whole life. Since my dog recently passed away I've been looking for ways to spend more time with animals. When my brother and sister-in-law were telling me how difficult they found it to get good, reliable pet care I decided I would try and provide that for others. I'm a full-time teacher so I only have availability in the afternoon and on weekends but would love to help out some local animal families. I am usually home at about 3:30 pm. I will treat your animals and home as I would my own. I am happy to provide basic services such as spending time with your pets, feeding, and walking them.

“Olya was amazing with Tina and sent plenty of pictures. This was a last minute emergency and she was available and quick to respond and accept the booking. Recommended 110%!”
“Can I give ten stars?? I am so happy we had James to look after our kitty while we were on a rare family vacation! The daily updates and the many pictures and videos were wonderful and made us know right from the start that we had the right person. I 100% recommend James for any pet-sitting job. Ray is happy we're back, but I can see he misses James now!! Thank you, James - you are awesome!”
“Kristina is so great to work with! We have an excited puppy and a nervous 4 yr old. Kristina handles the dogs with kindness and the appropriate amount of command! We look forward to more visits!”

I’m working part time Monday and Wednesday so I’m available after 5:30pm on those days. I’m available anytime on all the other days of the week including weekends! I’m reliable and flexible within those hours and happy to accommodate scheduling needs. I provide every pet with attentive, personalized care based on their routine and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and receive any medications or special care instructions as directed. I also keep their environment clean by picking up after them, cleaning food and water bowls, and respecting the client’s home by leaving it tidy.

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”
“Jacob did drop in visits for my two dogs and was wonderful. My great Pyr is very wary of new people and warmed up to Jacob immediately, which is very rare. Jacob was very prompt, communicative and reliable. I’d definitely use him again!”

About: Hello - Thank you for looking at my profile, and for thinking of me as your pet's caregiver. I am currently, an at home sitter, but willing to open my home to your pet. I am a dog owner too, and know that good help is hard to come by. I am loving, and fun and love to go on long walks on the beach with my puppy or hiking trails.

We had a great experience with Annette! She took the time to come beforehand and learn our guinea pigs’ routine, which we really appreciated. She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
