“Kyle is great! He has been walking Quinn for a couple weeks now & she is very comfortable with him! She’s a nervous Nelly, so this is important to us. He also helps out with Maddy, our 16 y/o cat that needs medication daily. He goes above & beyond for us & we apostate him!!”

About: I grew up around animals of all sorts. My grandfather had huge hunting hounds and cats. My other grandfather had a german shepherd who would pull my sled in winter. When I was seven years old I helped my father train our puppy. I love animals they always have a way of making me smile. I’m a stay at home mom to two wonderful children who are both at school. I’d love to take care of your pet with all the spare time I have. I love going on long walks and letting the dog sniff as much as they want. I love throwing the ball for them to chase and I love petting their soft fluffy fur. For my long coat friends I’d love to comb it out and make it shine.

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.

“My experience with Emma (and Rover) was seamless. Emma was professional and was very sweat with our 10 month old cat, George. He hasn't met many people outside our family but he enjoyed Emma's visits while we were away. Emma gave us some updates and pictures, played with all his favorite toys and fetch, made sure his belly was full and that he was not getting into too much trouble! :-) I would absolutely use this service again and would recommend Emma over and over again.”

About: Having grown up in a multi-pet household myself, I know first-hand the level of care and dedication that owning pets entails. I began petsitting when I was 12 years old, and have greatly enjoyed doing such in the years since. Friends, family, and neighbors have entrusted me on many occasions to take care of their pets. Aside from petsitting, I worked at a doggy daycare for nearly two years, where I built genuine and deeply meaningful bonds with all of the dogs in my care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, temperaments, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with training young puppies, including my own. I am very knowledgeable in reading animal body language and understanding animal behavior. I understand that every dog or cat is unique in their own way and that building trusting and meaningful relationships with animals take time and patience. With this, I try to meet every cat or dog where they are at and adjust my approach where necessary. For example, with shy or timid pets, I like to give them the space they need and work slowly to build trust and confidence to where they are fully comfortable in my presence. I am committed to making every visit a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I’m currently working part-time at the moment, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care with your pet(s). The routine for each visit will depend on your pets’ needs, personality, temperament, and energy level. I will send pictures and updates of how your pet is doing by text throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pets have an positive and enjoyable experience, get plenty of play time/exercise, enrichment, and attention. Your pets’ safety is of utmost importance, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure the environment is safe at all times. This could include but not limited to making sure to close or lock doors behind me, gating off rooms that are off-limit, crating your pet at night or when I leave, keeping things your pet may get to out of reach or locked away, following medication or feeding schedules, taking dogs’ out more frequently or at given times throughout day, being respectful of any allergies you, your household, or pet(s) may have. This will depend on you and your pets’ needs. As always, I’ll send updates and pictures throughout the day.

“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.

About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

“We loved having Julia for drop-in visits for our two dogs! One of our dogs, Chip, was recently adopted (<1 week), so we were nervous leaving him, but Julia took such good care of them and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was also very flexible with our different needs, such as feeding at evening drop-ins, followed all the instructions, was very responsive and sent lots of photos of each visit, which helped me worry less about Chip. I would definitely recommend Julia to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve pet sit for family and friends over the past four years, with experience ranging from house cats to dogs of all sizes. I love taking dogs on walking trails and tiring them out. I’m responsive to owner’s needs, flexible, communicative, and always prioritize safety. I am currently available to sit for any schedule - days, nights, and weekends. I am happy to travel and open to working last minute needs. Typically, I look to take dogs for longer walks in your neighborhood so they can get their exercise! If your neighborhood is not walkable, I’d ask to drive them to a local hike or walking trail. I’m an avid runner - if your pup likes to run, I’d love to bring them with me.

You can trust that your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d give my own.

About: Hello there! I am a full-time musician and a major dog-lover. I have a 5 year old rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix. I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy). Most of my experience has been in dog-walking, but I'm also a babysitter and love caring for kids. I have a 1 year old who is the joy of my life! I am available for one-time help with your fluffy friend as well as regular help since my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am quick on my feet and great at tidying up after dogs and tiny humans, and can be very firm with pups if necessary. Happy to speak more in person! I’m currently working part-time and mostly on weekends since I’m a musician, so I have quite a bit of time during the week to drop in, feed and walk your furry friends I have a fenced in backyard and an extra crate for pups that I’m boarding, but also make sure that when I’m house-sitting, your fur baby has water, a clean crate and whatever else they need

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to seniors, including helping with the birthing process and caring for litters. My family and I have also fostered many puppies and rescue dogs through Great Dog Rescue New England. I’m a recent college graduate with a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for recurring bookings, overnights, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting. I’ll care for every pet like they’re one of my own!!! I work a hybrid schedule in Boston and live in Medford. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for traveling to your pups and staying with them! I’m available for recurring bookings, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with you to fit your pet’s normal routine! That's most important! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and needs, and will always treat your pets like my own!

About: Big passion for animals and the veterinary field! Very familiar and comfortable working with pets & parents - Worked in a veterinary clinic kennel department as senior staff and have pet sat in the past. Recently worked in a shelter with all cats. Currently enrolled in a 2 year program for my CVT and pet sitting/walking on the side! I am currently in a self-paced program for my CVT! I can pop in & take dogs on a walk 2-3 times a day depending on parent’s request. I plan to pet sit & walk. For pet walks I’ll make sure dogs are given a good amount of time to walk and get their energy out to unwind for the day. They will be made sure to stay hydrated throughout their walk and rewarded a reasonable amount treats for their good behavior. Updates will be given for both walking and pet sitting. For sitting, pets will be kept engaged in social interaction and affection. Correct behavioral reinforcement will be used including extra instructions from parent to keep pet on the right track.

About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds throughout my life. From dogs and cats to snakes and chinchillas, I have experienced it all! I have over a year of experience working alongside a wonderful pet sitting company that has taught me everything there is to know about our furry friends. Before that, I have experience with my own pups! I've had Chihuahuas, a Husky, and a Jack Russel, so there is truly no task I am unwilling to take on. I am always trying to grow and educate myself on behavior in pets! I currently work at a Pet Servicing company, working weekdays from 10am-3pm. I am fully available on the weekends, and anytime in the morning or nights on weekdays. That leaves plenty of time to hang out and care for your beloved furry family! I am here to take care of your fur babies and absolutely nothing more. Any information you provide me with will be kept solely to myself, and will be 100% safe. If there is any specific tasks you need me to perform around the household, I will always be willing to help!

Lily is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her more highly, she always takes such wonderful care of our girls. She even braved the blustery weather to make sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. Knowing they were in such kind, capable, and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind when we needed it most. Lily went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness, reliability, and genuine care. She is truly a standout sitter, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets. Thank you, Lily, for taking such wonderful care of our girls!

Philip dropped in to take care of our dog, Peanut, for an hour while we were away for the night. He was on time and sent photos of Peanut as requested. He also followed the instructions for feeding Peanut dinner and providing him with his walk. We are giving 4/5 stars because unfortunately when Philip left our house, he locked our front door handle along with the padlock. We had only instructed him to lock the padlock with the code we provided, so we were locked out of the house when we returned. We understand Philip was trying to be careful, but we ended up waiting 1.5 hours at midnight to for an emergency locksmith to let us into our home, so we were left wishing Philip had stuck to the instructions we provided. That being said, we appreciated the good care he provided for Peanut.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lowell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lowell is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 9,637 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lowell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 Lowell 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 Lowell. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
