“Arianna was wonderful taking care of our cat while we were away. And we received tons of great pictures from her of Orlando getting play time and cheek scratches and being happy. We plan to book with her again.”
About: Hello there! I'm CJ, and I'm here to take care of your pets! I'm a huge dog lover, with 9 years of experience. I have experience with puppies, small, medium, and large-sized dogs. I live in Westford, MA and am willing to travel 15-20 miles to watch your pup. Personally, I have a Yellow Labrador Retriever. I'm very active, outgoing, friendly, and would love to meet your furry pal. I'd go hiking, running (if permitted) and take him/her on various walking trails! I'm available the most on weekends but would be up to dog walking/house sitting on weeknights as well. Hope to hear from you soon, please don't hesitate to reach out! I’m always exercising and being active which fits perfectly into my routine. I look forward to new clients to walk and to incoporate into my schedule. When I take care of pets in my home I make sure they’re always safe, and I have a big fenced in yard for them to play in.
About: I have been working in pet care for 5+ years! Prior to that I have been around animals caring/training for family pets as well as friends pets! Animals have always been my passion and I believe there is no such thing as a bad dog just misunderstood dogs! All breeds welcome :) I am currently working as a dog walker. I am available at your convenience and have amazing flexibility to make sure every pet gets the care they deserve! I do walks, potty breaks as well as Boarding!! I have a large unfenced yard in a little neighborhood as well as trails behind my house that I walk often! I own 1 dog of my own who is extremely well socialized and amazing with all dogs! I have plenty spare bowls and crates if your dog requires one as well as gated off areas for safe divisions if necessary. My goal is to keep your dogs feeling as comfortable as possible while remaining safe.
“We were so glad to have Ria do a check in for our two dogs! She took special care with our senior dog and also spent time playing fetch with our Boston. I could tell from the many pictures she shared that they were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry family!”
“Cat was fantastic with our shy Greyson! I am amazed that she was able to get him comfortable enough to come out from hiding! Also her communication while we were away was great!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in fourth grade. I enjoy working with high energy dogs and can handle dogs of all sizes. I’m currently a student at Bentley University with a reasonably open schedule. I can tend to pet needs during the weekdays and on the weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care in a calm, positive environment, making sure every walk is safe, engaging, and stress-free. You can trust that your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d give my own.
About: I am a responsible and caring dog owner with hands on experience raising my own Golden Retriever puppy.

I am reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine and any special care instructions.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and caring for dogs and small animals of all kinds. From playful Pomeranians to loyal Golden Retrievers—and even the occasional curious cat—I’ve built lasting bonds through trust, compassion, and consistency. Certified in Canine CPR through Active Paws, I bring both heart and safety to every service I offer. My loyal companion, a spirited Miniature Pinscher named Stanley Luke, is often right by my side.

“Sarah-Jane could not be a better pet sitter! Our cat, Louis, absolutely adores her, as do we. She is thorough, attentive, and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and it shines through in her work. She goes above and beyond to take care of our special guy and to keep us updated every step of the way. We have booked with her many times and will continue to do so whenever possible - we cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here! I currently work Monday through Thursday 8-5pm & Fridays 8-3pm in a dog friendly office. I do have an hour lunch break and am willing to use that time to stop by. My after work activities are extremely flexible! Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.

I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. Whether you need a regular walking routine or last-minute help, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it. For your pet’s safety, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always secure doors, gates, and fences to prevent escapes and use properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes during walks. I supervise all outdoor time, monitor pets closely to avoid dangerous situations, and keep hazardous items like cleaning supplies or unsafe foods out of reach. I carefully follow any special instructions, including administering medications, and I stay alert for any signs of illness or stress. I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lowell is $28 per visit as of October 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.

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.
