About: I have been a petsitting/dog walking resource for friends, family members, and mutuals for the past 10 years. I regularly dog sit between 1 and 3 pups at a time! My care has most often been for middle-aged pets, but I have throughly enjoyed my time with two young puppies and a few seniors over the years. Side note- I love small dogs and large dogs equally (and nothing but love for my pitties and rotties here)! I am currently a grad student, so I have ample availability outside of classes! I am free to take care of your pets after 2pm on Tuesdays, and after 6pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have full availability! I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so yours will get my full attention! I am happy to bring your dogs to nearby parks or to keep them closer to home depending on your preferences. I love exploring, but their safety is always my number one priority!
“We loved having Courtney take care of our two cats! She spent time playing with them and getting their energy out, and sent updates and pictures which we appreciated. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
About: I’m the go-to for all my family and friends who need their beloved doggos taken care of. From Frenchies to Labs. I have experience with walking, feeding, and playings with different types of dogs. I do have a 9-5 job, but my schedule is extremely flexible. I can make weeknights and all-day weekends work (Friday considered part of the weekend). I mostly take care of dogs at their homes. I follow all the directions set by their owners and try to make sure the dogs continue to feel at ease despite having an unfamiliar face around.
“Alyssa was so good with my high energy little kitty! Eveb thiugh he was more shy than usual she was patient with him and he warmed up enough to play. It was great peace of mind to know she was looking in on him while I was away. Thank you so much!”
About: I am very active and willing to play with pets, go for long walks, and have very flexible schedule everyday. I am in the heart of the city and know great dog parks nearby. I have been pet sitting for the past 4 years for friends and families and can truly say I treat your fur baby like the royalty they are! I am currently a teacher but am looking to transition out of teaching and want to dive into my passions such as pet sitting and taking care of your furry friends. I have a very flexible schedule and willing to work around others. I have a little dog of my own who is my best friend and always by my side. We go on walks daily and are very active. I have pet sat for various friends and family, both dogs and cats alike.
“Our 2 pitties are HUGE fans of Cayla (and so are we)! From the moment she met the dogs we pretty much knew it was a great fit. Cayla is super trustworthy and a natural, knowledgeable pet enthusiast. We felt at home with her after the first meeting. Cayla always goes above & beyond to keep us updated on the boys, giving them amazing care and individual attention - one of them being a senior and the other an energetic youngster. Not sure where we’d be without her!”
About: I am a dependable pet sitter who is punctual and adheres to agreed-upon schedules for feeding, walks, and other pet care activities. I am also trustworthy and have a passion for animals. I currently work from home (9am-5pm), therefore my schedule is very flexible. I would love to spend time caring for animals in my lovely neighborhood. I effectively communicate to all of my clients by keeping pet owners informed about the well-being of their animals through updates, messages, or even pictures.
“Anne was so wonderful! She was very accommodating and kept my place in order while I was gone for around a week. I could tell my cat adored her and there was no issues whatsoever! She communicated well and was easy to work with.”
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our dog for the day! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the visits. She was flexible with our schedule as well. We came home to a very content happy pup which is always a great sign. Would welcome her back anytime!”
About: In my friend groups through the years, I have always been that friend that obsesses over your pet. My parents never let me have a pet of my own after growing up with a cat for 13 years. I’ve always asked for a dog and never got one so when I would have the opportunity to hangout with my friends dogs, I was always the one to walk them. Although my experience has been off and on, my love for dogs is unwavering. Although I’m currently full-time, my weekends are typically free to take care of your furry friend. Some weeks I do have a day of the week off which opens my schedule up a little bit. I am also able to check in before and after work depending on the day. I am able to follow instructions to care for your furry companion at your home and will make sure they don’t get lonely in your absence.
About: I like animals- a lot. To be honest, I like them more than people, and love hanging out with them. I’m genuine, transparent, and great at communication. I regularly volunteer dog walk with Street Tails Animal Rescue, to get in my pup fix. It’s so much fun. I currently have a foster dog, so am available for drop-ins. Checking in on cats twice a day is the most ideal. If you have a dog that needs a walk here and there I’m available as well. I make sure I have all needed information related to your pet’s needs and ask clarifying questions when needed. I’m good at communicating with pet parents as well.
“Natalie eliminated any worry we had about leaving our cat Lemon for the weekend. She was available with very short notice, sent us nice updates and pics while we were away, and stopped by to meet us and Lemon before we left for our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. I'm friendly, reliable, and active, with a pet-friendly home and a focus on safety and care. Currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pup! Pet care fits easily into my schedule, especially on my off days! I’ve got a safe, pet-friendly house where your dog will feel right at home. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the care they deserve.
About: Your neighborhood is my neighborhood, and I bring high energy, strict punctuality, and deep care to every single walk. Whether your dog needs a run, brisk power walk or a patient, steady pace, I treat every pup like my own with flawless communication from start to finish I’m available for morning walks or runs between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM before I start work, and evening walks from 5:15 PM onward. I am also around on weekends. I provide services, ensuring your dog stays comfortable in their familiar routine, whether that means a high-energy power walk around the block or a calm, patient stroll, followed by refreshing water, a quick paw wipe, and reliable updates from start to finish.
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been caring for animals, big and small, my entire life. I currently have two small (nearly identical) dogs, Frannie and Banana. I work from home so it’s easy for me to give them plenty of walks, pets and love. I have a small backyard and live steps from Norris Square park. I’m the go-to auntie to all of my friends pets :) I am a freelancer who works from home. I have two small dogs who I walk 2-3 times a day plus outside time in our backyard. My schedule is flexible and I live steps from Norris Square park. I have a fenced in backyard with a potty area. Two small dogs who are friendly. I typically have them meet new dogs outside of the home before having them come in to avoid any territorial behavior. My dogs eat 3 small meals a day and we keep treats to a minimum due to Frannie’s sensitive stomach. There are plenty of toys and the dogs are never out of sight.
About: I enjoy taking long walks, lots of play, and offer dependable care tailored to your dog's needs. I’ve had many dogs in my life. And one special guy for 8 years. Kind, dependable sitter and walker for weekend getaways, short trips and one-off needs. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home. And I can provide care for any pet.

About: I bring a strong veterinary background to pet sitting, with 4 years of vet tech school and 4 years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Because of my experience, I’m confident with things like giving medications, monitoring health and behavior, and following detailed care instructions. I know what’s normal vs. what might need attention, which helps keep pets safe and gives owners peace of mind. I also understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving calm overnight care, or spending extra time with shy or anxious pets. I send regular photo updates and treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I plan pet care around early mornings, evenings after work, overnights, and weekends. This makes me a great fit for overnight stays, weekend care, and travel bookings. On weekdays, I’m available for evening walks, feedings, playtime, and medication after work, and I can provide overnight care starting in the evening through the morning. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can dedicate extended time to pet care, including multiple visits, longer walks, and full overnight stays. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely. Whether it’s caring for cats, dogs, or pets with special needs, I make sure they get consistent attention, affection, and proper care built into my daily schedule. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Before each booking, I make sure I understand feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications if needed, and overnight supervision. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also send regular photo and text updates so owners know how their pets are doing. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I monitor behavior closely, keep pets separated if needed, and stick to their routine as much as possible. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including puppies, senior pets, and those with medical needs. Safety, consistency, and communication are always my top priorities.
“Sophie did such a great job watching my senior yorkie and four month old kitten. My dog is very hesitant with people, but Sophie had no issues whatsoever. Also, she followed my detailed/lengthy feeding instructions for both pets and took my dog out whenever she checked in. She did a great job, I definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future.”

Cailey was great! I had a situation where my prior sitter had a conflict, so I had to bring in Cailey last minute to watch my senior chihuahua. She was responsive, resourceful, reliable, and easy to work with. She really helped me out in a pinch. Highly recommend!
Jill has been helping us with our now 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Briggs, for about 2 months. Jill has been so flexible in scheduling, even with our very last minute requests. She’s asked great questions related to Briggs, his training, and his routine, and so I feel comfort knowing his day-to-day won’t change even when we aren’t there. Briggs is in such good hands with Jill. We would recommend her to any dog owner, even those with crazy puppies!! 5 star review!
Asha has been helping us the past two months with our 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Briggs. He can be quite the handful, very much in the puppy phase with teething and high energy, but she’s been so patient with him, also able to help us in being consistent with training during her visits. Sometimes our requests are last minute, but she’s very flexible in moving her schedule around to make it work. We trust her so much and are so appreciative of the support she’s given us already! 5 star review!
Kelsey has taken care of both our dog and chinchilla four times now. She consistently updates me and my partner with photos and descriptions of how they're feeling. She recognizes their needs and stress factors and communicates with us appropriately. Our dog is hesitant with most people, but loves Kelsey!
Faith is an excellent cat sitter & we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. From the photos & her updates I could see my cats felt comfortable with her and that she was taking great care of them! She followed our instructions & visited with them during the scheduled times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ludlow is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 9,571 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ludlow. 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 Ludlow. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
