About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and hands-on experience working as a veterinary technologist in general medicine. Caring for animals isn't just something I love, it's something I've been professionally trained to do. I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, following special diets, and recognizing changes in a pet's health or behavior that may need veterinary attention. I've worked with animals of all ages and personalities. I've also genuinely loved animals my entire life. I grew up with police dogs, have a dog of my own who I raised from a puppy, and share my home with my eight cats, six of whom I've raised from kittens. Whether I'm caring for a healthy puppy who needs some structure, a senior who needs a little extra attention, or a pet with a laundry list of medical needs, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. Your animal’s comfort is my biggest priority. I am currently freelancing, so much of my time is spent at home or bringing my dog on outdoor adventures nearby. Pet care is a round-the-clock part of my life with my own pets, and I genuinely enjoy having animals around. I have a very friendly dog who I raised from a puppy and three cats of my own. I live in a spacious condo with plenty of room to roam and a dedicated sunroom for cats, aka the Kitty Haven, where they can comfortably retreat and have their own space. I have a crate available if needed and am very well-versed in crate training and dog training. My home is already set up for animals, with plenty of pet supplies, toys, and space for them to be comfortable. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual routine, personality, and needs, and I want them to feel at home rather than like they're staying somewhere unfamiliar.
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who loves spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with patience and kindness like they’re part of the family. 🐶🐱 I’m available Monday through Thursday to take care of your furry baby. I love going on a long walks and being outdoor during all seasons of year. I’m not able to take care of your pet in my home, but I’m more than happy to come to your home and take care of them
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”
About: I have always had a huge love for animals and growing up I've always been around different pets. I'm also fluent in 4 different languages which include English, Haitian- Creole, Spanish, and Sign Language all of which I hope can add ease to those who may find that helpful. I'm willing to do the extra things in order to make you and your pet feel comfortable, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and communicate with as much as possible. I live in an apartment, very homey for cuddly pets. I also have two small chi/pom pups who are very active and playful and love to play! I’m currently working full-time Monday- Friday from 7a-3p, off for weekends. In regards to house sitting, i ask for the flexibility to be able to care for your pet early mornings and after work hours and overnight. Care for your pet is always customized to each client uniquely based on the needs of both the pet and pet parents! I will always make sure to take the necessary measures to ensure your pet is safely leashed or harnessed before any walks and will always make sure the home is safe for the pets
“Blane was super organized— reached out in advance to come meet the kitties and see the house. The updates we got were so full of love and we 100% knew the cats were in good hands. It was also very easy to ask for a few extra things like making sure the AC was on and the windows were closed when the weather changed. Thanks so much!! We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family growing up and my friends have always been able to rely on me to care for their pets. I have two of my own that I make sure always have the best care possible. I currently am fully remote and I am able to adjust my schedule as necessary. Whether it's potty breaks, walks, or even hikes, I always try to make room for as much enrichment as possible. I have a yard that is completely fenced in and is able to contain two husky mixes who would be more than happy to keep your fur baby company. I am also able to set up various gates so they can have as much private time as they need as well.
“Beth was great with our two kitties while we were away! She was very responsive and communicative and sent us plenty of pictures. They were well taken care of and she even got our shy kitty came out and say hi. Thanks, Beth!”
About: I family used to have dogs when I was young. I don’t have mine cuz I can’t afford it. The time I spent with my dog is my most precious memory. I can walk with dog besides Friday Saturday and Sunday afternoon and night. I have a part time job. We can discuss the details about schedule. I can walk with dog in park or hiking if u don’t mind. i can take in your house too. I can drive haha ha
About: Hi there! I am a responsible and reliable pet lover who currently has a chihuahua mix! In addition to my dog, I grew up caring for a golden retriever, husky and mini dachshund so I have experience with many different breeds. I also grew up with 2 cats! Would love to care for your pets with the same care and attention that I've shown my own! Thank you so much for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your wonderful pet very soon! I am working remotely 2 days a week so I am available for walks or drop-ins during those days! Tuesday and Thursday are my work from home days! I am also available most weekends as well. Sometimes I have occasional weeks where I work from home all week and can do drop ins--check my calendar for availability! I am a very safe dog-walker! I will make sure your dogs do not interact with dogs they don't know while on our walks so they stay safe! I will make sure to clean up after them! I am very reliable and will 100% follow any pet care instructions you give/will ask for clarification when needed!
About: I am available mostly morning and afternoons for scheduled walks or medication administration per direction and schedule. I am open to discuss and schedule available times as needed to opening my home to dogs in need of an attentive sitter and short term stays. I started pet sitting locally for family and friends as a side hobby in high school but my love for furry four legged friends has been relevant for about my entire life. I also was involved in volunteer work at a local dog shelter my sophomore year of college where I was introduced to many breeds and personalities of dogs in need of a place to go.
“Nancy was on time, reliable, and kept great communication. She gave my pup special attention, followed all instructions, and even went out of her way to keep them relaxed and feeling safe.”
“Lindsey was great with my two pups. Twila is only 6-months-old and she's quite shy, while my other dog Chester is just over two-years-old. I had Lindsey do check ins the first week we got Twila as I was adjusting my work hours to accommodate a new puppy. Lindsey was timely, caring and patient with both of my dogs. I highly recommend her!”
“Andrew was absolutely incredible from day one. He was very quick to respond to questions and any concerns. He made an extra effort to make sure my dog was eating and when he wasn’t, Andrew offered to bring a snack to eat with my dog. Chadwick has developed a habit of only eating when I eat, so I found that so amazing that Andrew would do that. He was always on time and sent pictures and texts to make sure I was not worrying about my fur baby. Book Andrew if you can. He was truly worth it.”
About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.
“Sasha is great! She took amazing care of our two kitties while we were away for almost two weeks. Communication was excellent; she sent little updates and pictures every day. Thank you, Sasha!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
We had Olha drop in on our 3 yo. dog while we were out for an extended period, and everything went very smoothly. Olha was very personable and accommodated our schedules when it came to getting to know our dog, her routine, and visit expectations, offering to do a virtual Meet & Greet before the visit rather than in-person. Our dog warmed up quickly to Olha and had a lovely time. She was very sleepy upon our return, so got plenty of exercise even in just the hour Olha stayed over. I definitely recommend Olha to watch your pup. We'd happily request her services again.
Felicia was wonderful! She listened to my recommendations of how to approach the first meeting with my dog, as he is nervous with new people. She goes at his pace and isn’t in his face but gives him lots of pets when he wants them. She is also very communicative and goes above and beyond- even trying help us with the crate he broke out of 😅 Felicia provided great peace of mind and I knew Lincoln was in good hands.
Alexis was fantastic with our 14-week-old puppy, Mallard! She was extremely professional, personable, and genuinely attentive to his routine and needs. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand, arrived early for his stay, and kept us updated throughout the evening. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Malden is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $52 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.

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

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.
