“Amy is wonderful, glad to have found her to care for my babies. Love that she is tentative and works to ensure pups are happy. Looking forward to continuing services with her!”
“I trust Nathan whole heartedly with my cats! This is our third time booking with him and I won’t book with anybody else. Easy to communicate with, loves on my cats and always goes above and beyond. 10/10 recommend”
About: Please read my availability before booking :) Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dogs and cats, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers for years, and I truly enjoy caring for animals like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care possible and treat your furry family members with the same attention and affection I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work in a medical office Tuesday-Friday 7:30am-5pm. Though I am able to house sit these days, I am unable to let them out during the day while I am at work. Saturday-Monday I am free to give all my attention to your pets! I am very energetic, just like your pups. I love to walk with or without a dog. If I am pet sitting, I am very good at sticking to directions so I can care for your animals exactly how you want them to be cared for while throwing in a couple extra play times!
“Samantha was so great! The first time leaving a recently diagnosed cat with diabetes and she made me feel comfortable. She was a great communicator and sent pictures. She was so kind and patient with my finicky cats. I look forward to having her back again!”
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
About: I have been taking care of animals for a very long time and recently got into pet sitting! I’ve worked for quite a few families and have been pet sitting for over a year now. I dog walk as well and all the families I have worked for have loved me. I’ve taken care of mutiple animals at once with no trouble. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals with no issue! I am easy going and understanding and very energetic! I’m currently a college student and I love doing this as a part time job! I have plenty of good references and a very flexible schedule. I love working with animals and people and would be thrilled to help! Please consider me as a worthwhile candidate for your pet care position!
“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Stephanie was so wonderful with our dog, Murphy. We appreciated her promptness, consistency, and we especially loved getting daily reports and pictures of our dog while we were away on vacation!”
About: As a proud dog owner myself, I bring genuine love and energy to every pet I care for. I understand how important your fur baby is to you, and I treat every dog like my own — with patience, attention, and lots of playtime. Your pup is in great hands! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the day to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m available midday and afternoons, making me a great fit for dogs who need midday check-ins or walks. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with my own friendly, socialized dog — so your pup will always have a playmate! I keep a safe, pet-proofed space and treat every dog like family.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own, all with completely different personalities, so I’m used to adapting to each dog’s needs. One has total grandma energy and just wants a calm comfy day, another is super independent and honestly acts more like a cat, and my third dog is blind so I’m very attentive and patient with routines and safety. I do twice daily feedings, daily walks, beach walks, and trail runs for high energy dogs, but I’m also just as happy staying in and giving calm companionship to dogs that prefer to relax. I’m a college athlete home for the summer, so I can keep up with super active dogs, but I’m also basically a professional nap partner for the couch potato ones. As a college athlete home for the summer, I have a pretty active and flexible routine that revolves around caring for my own dogs and yours. Daily walks, feedings, outdoor time, and exercise are already part of my schedule, whether that’s beach walks, trail runs, or just hanging out at home with calmer dogs. I’m used to planning my days around pets’ routines and making sure they get consistent attention, activity, and care. I try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by keeping them on the routine they already know. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, energy levels, and little things about their personality and behavior. Having a blind dog myself made me really attentive and patient, especially when it comes to safety and creating a calm environment. I also know from my own dogs how much pets can miss their people when they’re away, so I try to give them extra attention, comfort, and company so they feel less stressed and more at ease. I love taking active dogs on walks, beach trips, or trail runs, but I’m also completely fine hanging out with dogs that just want a chill day and someone to nap next to. I’m very aware on walks, careful around other dogs, and overall just try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Annabelle took wonderful care of my dog, Abby, and my cat, Artemis, while I was away. Abby is recovering from a leg injury and has a detailed care routine, including medication and extra support getting around. Annabelle followed every instruction, made sure Abby received all of her medication, helped support her injured leg when needed, and cleaned up after her outside. She also made sure both pets always had clean food and water bowls, gave them plenty of attention and affection, and left everything neat and organized. When I got home, both Abby and Artemis were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Throughout the entire stay, Annabelle was incredibly responsible, responsive, and dependable. She kept me updated, replied quickly to messages, and paid attention to all of the little details. Caring for an injured dog takes extra patience and compassion, and she handled Abby’s recovery with genuine care. She treated my pets like they were her own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Annabelle truly went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her with Abby and Artemis again without hesitation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Kate is a delightful lady. She agreed to drop in on our two cats with very little notice. I recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs for 25 years and will treat your dog like my own. I will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
About: I absolutely adore taking care of all types of dogs! Recently my family dachshund Chihuahua mix of 17 years passed away, and now, with the house empty, I’ve been looking for more ways to fill it again with love and care. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m an actress with a flexible schedule and a part time server with plenty of time to take care of your pups! I have my own car with plenty of space to transport multiple dogs. I have a big fenced in yard for pups to run around and play with toys! I am an active sitter and make sure dogs are attended to at all times.
“Tom was great! He was very receptive and kept us in the loop with how our dog was doing during his visit. Because she is very timid with new people, he was willing to do a meet and greet with her beforehand. Tom was also very flexible with some last minute schedule changes. Thank you so much Tom!”
“Michelle did a great job with my kitties while I was away for an extended period. She even saved my bacon when she noticed that the house had started to get cold when the thermostat failed.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lowell is $25

Lisa is my go-to cat sitter. She is phenomenal with my three kitties and always makes sure they get their medications, and is so great with them. I always get a lot of photos and the cats always look happy and comfortable! She is wonderful at communicating. We appreciate her SO much!!!! :)
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!
Steven was very patient with my special needs kitty and provided the extra care that he needed while I was away for an overnight trip. Pet care for my household is not as simple and straightforward as it used to be with normal, able-bodied cats, so it is extra important to have an experienced and caring sitter, and Steven did a great job!
Nathan was an awesome pet sitter!! He took care of our Kitties shortly after they moved to a new home. He was so understanding and excellent at communicating. He sent tons of pictures and updated us after each visit! Additionally (!!) he cleaned all of our cats dishes and spoons and left them to dry even though we had not asked. He truly went above and beyond 😊
Nicole took great care of our cat, Onion. She was professional and communicative. She proactively identified a potential medical issue and we were able to manage it with our vet. She also handled Onion's spiciness safely and calmly. I'd recommend Nicole to any cat parent!
Philip did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat while I was away. He was always communicative, keeping me updated and making me feel confident that she was in good hands. He made sure she was fed on schedule and that all of her food, water, and litter were kept clean. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being, and I truly appreciated the attention and kindness he showed. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
This was the second time Melanie pet sit for us and our experience was just as good as the first time. Melanie is dependable, communicative, and will take care of your pets like they are her own. We will 100% be rebooking next time we are out of town. I can’t say enough good things about Melanie!
I highly recommend Mackenzie! She is very responsive to all of my messages and timely in her drop-in visits. She watched my two free roam bunnies and was super great with them! It was a great peace of mind to know she was looking after them. I will definitely keep her in mind for my next trip!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lowell is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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 10,136 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lowell. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
