About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.
“This was our first time using Mattie to sit our 3 cats and it was the best experience! Mattie was extremely thorough with updates and went above and beyond with taking care of them. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our kitties while we were away!!”
“This was our first time using Suzanna and she exceeded our expectations. She has a passion for animals and it shows but she also does a great job keeping pet parents happy too! Lots of communication, photos and doing little extras that make me comfortable knowing my dog is being well cared for! We will look forward to using her again soon!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents believed that helping care for pets was an important way to build responsibility, so animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve truly never gone without having a pet in my home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping care for animals of all ages and needs, including temporary foster pets, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable supporting animals who require medications, extra patience, mobility accommodations, and individualized routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra support, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m an occupational therapist at a nursing home in Cincinnati! My work schedule is flexible for me as I need to be. I don’t work weekends! I live in an apartment with a fenced yard area. I have a friendly dog that is crated when I’m not home. I have a cat who is friendly!
“Melissa did such an amazing job with our kitties! This is the first time we have ever left them overnight and she made sure to take the time to love them. Couldn’t recommend her more 💜”
“Katrina last min helped me out on a work trip where the hours were way longer than anticipated. She had longer visits than booked for and took him to the park most days. So thankful! ❤️”
About: Hello! My name is Kala, and I have had a multitude of animals throughout my life. I grew up with police trained German Shepherds, and have had their animals ranging from Ball Pythons to Black Cats. I worked at a Vet Clinic as a Technician’s Assistant in High School, and walked dogs in my family’s neighborhood to make money before going to college. I dog sit friends and family’s dogs regularly, and would love to take care of your animals! I work part-time during the week, so I’m available to take care of animals in the mornings M-F. I am also available all day Sundays! I am always respectful of other people’s spaces, and will ensure your pet feels safe with me both inside and outside! I will also ensure your pet feels loved and cared for, and you feel safe having me around.
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“Jessalyn went above and beyond for our 3 pets, but especially our senior Labrador. She just went on a special diet before vacation that we were still figuring out, and Jessalyn made sure she did everything she could to ensure Stella ate and was comfortable. I left very detailed notes, and Jessalyn followed them all. We were impressed because she washed the dog bowls every day and we don't even do that. I highly recommend Jessalyn for your fur babies.”
“I’ve rebooked Laura a few times now and she’s great! She communicates efficiently and is wonderful with our puppy Beau! She sends pictures and videos while she’s there which puts me at ease. I’m grateful for her help!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their dogs. I also own two dogs a husky and a german shepherd! I would love to take your dogs for long walks and make them play and get their energy out or just a nice stroll! I’m currently a college student athlete and have some free time that I’d love to come and check up on your pets and take them for walks! I’d love to take them for a long walk and get their energy out or just a nice little stroll! I live in a very safe apartment complex with lots of space for dogs to run around! I have two dogs at home a husky and a German Shepherd so I love hanging out around dogs!
“Nicole is awesome!! Apollo loves when Nicole comes over to take him for walks! She also sends the best pictures of him while I’m at work! She even braves the snow to make sure he’s taken care of, a real gem! Couldn’t recommend her more!!!”
“We continuously book Susan whenever we travel. She is so thorough, thoughtful, and kind every time. It always brings us peace of mind to know our cats are well taken care of when we are away. She is so responsive and attentive and always leaves us a detailed summary of each visit, which makes us so happy to review at the end of each day. We are so happy we have Susan and so are our cats!🐱💘”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
“Working with Mimi was wonderful. She took great care of our cat while we were away. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Mimi did a great job communicating with us. I would be happy to recommend her and have her sit for us again.”
“Charlotte was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous because I’ve only ever had family take care of my cat while I was away. Charlotte made it easy to enjoy a few days away by being easy to communicate with, sending pictures of my kitty, and being prompt and professional. We will absolutely be asking Charlotte back and recommend her to anyone looking to breathe easy while being away from their fur baby ☺️”

Tess was absolutely amazing with Louie and Twiggy. She stepped in on very short notice, communicated constantly, followed every instruction carefully, and treated both dogs with so much patience and affection. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, noticed small details, asked the right questions, and made sure they were comfortable, safe, fed, and cared for throughout the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely reassured knowing they were with her and would book her again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!
Grace was fantastic with our pup! She did drop-in visits during the work day to give our pup a potty break and some time to play. Our pup can be a little skittish and slow to warm up, but Grace was extremely patient. There were no more barks from our pup by her second visit, and he was so excited to see her. Would highly recommend!
Georgiana was amazing! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel at ease! Our dog had an accident in the house and she took it upon herself to clean it up even after I had told her not to worry about it (didn’t want her to have to do that)! Georgiana is very thoughtful and sweet! Would recommend her to anyone!

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 Ludlow 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 Ludlow 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.

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

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.
