About: I’ve loved animals and cared for pets since I was young (growing up with Labrador retrievers and miniature dachshunds). As a proud dog mom to Henry, my long-haired miniature dachshund, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, playtime, walks, and providing lots of love and attention. As a volleyball coach, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to individual needs. Whether your pet needs an overnight companion, a midday check-in, or extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re in great hands. I know first hand just how important those daily check-ins and photos can be when you’re away from your furry family members. I’m currently working full time from 8:30 am to 4 pm M-F. I have an hour lunch break that I usually leave my office during. I have very little schedule interruptions throughout the week, but will always communicate conflicts in advance. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park and paved sidewalks within a fenced community. I enjoy taking walks in my spare time and am an ex-collegiate athlete which can help to manage larger dogs and keep both parties safe.
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has only grown. I enjoy learning and understanding animals and take caring for them very seriously. I am available everyday and work morning hours Thursday - Sunday. I am a morning person and wake up around 7 am everyday regardless if I am working or not. I care for all animals as if they are my own. I’ve been around animals my entire life and understand when they need something or are trying to convey a need or want.
“Taylor was great and very communicative! And my kitties must have loved her because she was able to give belly rubs to my kitty that is normally skittish toward strangers 😍 Will definitely request Taylor again in the future!”
About: I have had pets my whole life! I have 10 years of experience with dogs, and I have 4 years of experience with cats! I have raised and trained 5 puppies and 2 kittens. I have also taken care of 2 senior dogs! I am a stay-at-home dad so I am always home with my dog and two cats! My availability is based on making sure my daughter has someone to watch her. I have experience working with many different dogs and differing rule sets. I am able to work with any rule or routine that your pet is accustomed to, to ensure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable!
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m happy to complete walks, administer medications, clean litter boxes, and give your babies any specific attention that you require I’m currently about to start the school year, so I am available on weekends, evenings, or early mornings. Depending on the time of year, I may have more availability. Let’s discuss what works best for your needs! I prefer to complete drop-in services as needed due to having fur babies that are very structured in their own routines. Contact me and we can discuss logistics!
“Iyari was fantastic!! My dog absolutely loved her, and she left detailed comments about her visits. She also stopped in on time, and I had no worries about hiring her for the weekend. She was also very easy to get in touch with. I will definitely book with her again:)”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and now have a pup of my own that I got in college. I’d love to care for your fur baby in the same way I would my own ❤️. I’d also love to send updates and pics as well, as I know I appreciate that when I’m out of town as well! I recently graduated college and work full time, but a lot of it can be remote so I’m able to be available for your fur babies :) I make sure to get acclimated, and take dogs out every couple of hours or so. I’m down to do whatever your dog wants whether that be a fun active walk/jog or just chilling in the couch! I also take my pup on frequent walks and to the dog park to get all of her energy out!
“Simone was responsive to messages, sent lots of pictures, and even brought in packages and watered plants while I was gone. This may have been her first rabbit-sitting experience, but I would trust her to do it again.”
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were comfortable, especially my reactive dog. I’ve never had someone show such genuine care, consideration, and kindness. I truly appreciate everything she did, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a very flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and spending time walking, playing, and exploring with dogs. I live on acreage with plenty of open space and private trails where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to walk dogs leashed or unleashed—whatever you prefer and feel most comfortable with. If your dog is more of a couch potato than an athlete, that’s perfectly fine too! I have plenty of experience with older, calm, and low-energy pets and am happy to match whatever pace fits your dog’s personality—whether that’s an adventure walk or just relaxing together at home. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they get the attention and routine they need. Communication is a top priority for me. You’ll receive frequent updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected while you’re away. Please note: I don’t stay overnight at clients’ homes, but I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and extended daytime visits. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! With a flexible daily schedule, I can give your dog consistent care and companionship instead of rushing in and out. Your pet will always be a priority in my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I am reliable, responsible, follow instructions carefully, and always treat every dog like my own.
“This is our third time booking with Ashley, and she has become our favorite Bogey-sitter! We never enjoy leaving our cat behind when we travel, but having Ashley care for him gives us complete peace of mind. She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure Bogey is cared for.”
“Good experience. The whole family did a good job looking after our dog while we were gone. Received regular photos and updates on our dog. Room was clean when we came back home.”
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lowell
Our puppy is usually very nervous around anyone outside the family, but she quickly became comfortable and relaxed with Londyn. Knowing she was happy and at ease made being away from her so much easier and gave us real peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Londyn to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and high-quality pet sitter. She is truly exceptional.

On Rover, 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.

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 Lowell 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.

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.
