About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me from a young age how to understand their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide them with patience, attention, and loving care. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I currently have a sweet, friendly 6-year-old Pomeranian who is a very important part of our family. In addition, I cared for a Golden Retriever for two years, giving me experience with a larger and more active dog. Through caring for my own pets and the pets in my family, I’m comfortable with everyday pet care such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs. I’m able to give pets the companionship and attention they need throughout the day while maintaining their regular routines. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is conveniently located next to a Memorial Park, which provides a great nearby space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. Dogs can get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to explore their surroundings without needing to travel far. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️

“Nina was the pet sitter we've been looking for! She was so kind and caring to our 12 year old cat who gets anxious when we are away and needs medication. Nina took great care into showing lots of affection to him, marking sure he was entertained with cat tv, giving treats, and of course taking care of his basic needs. Nina is extremely communicative and trustworthy. She jumped in last minute when we had to deal with a family emergency and we are very grateful for her support. We look forward to having her watch our cat again during the holidays, knowing he is getting exceptional care!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.

“Natali was fantastic with our 100lb rescue dog. Natali made our dog comfortable from day 1 which is quite a feat considering that our rescue is not particularly interested in people. In fact she's often skittish and may submission pee if scared but with Natali that never happened. She knows the right energy to bring around a rescue, she was on-time for every drop-in, she's quick to respond to messages, and she followed every instruction to a T. I would highly recommend Natali to anyone who needs a sitter”

About: We are a family with a 12yr old male and a 11 yr old female bearded collie, a 7yr old English Setter and one cat who thinks he’s a dog. My 22yr old adores pets and has taken pride and responsibility in helping care for and train our dogs. We would take care of your pet like it was one of our own to assure you that peace of mind while away from him/her. We have a very large fenced in yard where your dog will always be supervised when outdoors. We would also be more than happy to send text messages with photos or videos of your pet while with us! About this sitter: I am an animal lover and cannot imagine our home without one in it! My son works from home, so your pup would never be alone. Your dogs will feel at home while staying with us. They will be able to sleep wherever they would as if in their own home. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs all of my life. As a child, I had a cockapoo who passed away when he was 15 yrs old. Then while I college, I rescued a collie pup from the pound. Athena was with me until she could no longer walk at the age of 13.5. My past two dogs, unfortunately had lyphoma..one was a scottish terrier who passed at the age of 3 and the other was a wheaton terrier who passed at the age of 4.5. After this terrible experience of losing 2 dogs at such a young age, our family steered away from the terrier breed as they are prone to cancer. Our bouncing beardies have brought so much joy and love to our lives... About my yard Our yard is large, and completely fenced in! It’s like having our own doggie park in a safe environment. My experience administering medication Administering medications is not a problem. Over the years, I have administered pills, drops and liquid medicines, and injections to our animals for various reason You dog will always be supervised while in our care. There is someone always at home to care for the visiting dogs. They will never be left alone . We have a fenced in yard to keep your pup safe. They are always supervised while outside for safety . Pet safety is our number one priority while in our care.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I can’t picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! It’s a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, it’s a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when I’m at work he’s able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!

Lauren was fabulous! My dog loved her! She was very responsible and did everything I asked her to do. She sent me pictures everyday which I really appreciated. I’ve already recommended her to some of my friends. I’m trying to think of some other places to go so I can use her again. Even my elderly neighbor loved her because she took the time to talk with him.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lynnfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lynnfield on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 9,875 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lynnfield. 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 Lynnfield 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 Lynnfield 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 Lynnfield. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
