“Nathan is pawsitively perfect. He is so good with our puppy and provides helpful real time feedback and the best photos. He notices new behaviors in our growing pup and alerts us to his changes and any potential issues. He has been really flexible with us and our changing schedules. Our dog loves him and yours will too!”
“Katy was great! She made it easy for us to get the keys to her when we didn’t have a Dropbox. She took some great pictures of our kitties and followed our instructions exactly. She even brought up an amazon package for us. She went above and beyond her role and we would gladly book her again. Thank you!!!”
“Kat did a great job taking care of Gunnar. She communicated very promptly and clearly from the first contact; we set up a meet and greet for the next day and then two days later she came and walked him while I was away. She clearly loves dogs and he instantly loved her back. I knew he was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for pet care.”

I train dogs in all my interactions with them, out of habit, but also because I wan't them to have happy lives.
About: I’ve pet sat for a lot of my neighbors in high school. I have fed and walked dogs, fed and hung out with cats and even fed chickens! I have 3 cats and love dogs and going on long sunny walks :). Willing to learn about any animals! I work at a therapeutic middle school so my afternoons after 3 and weekends are free, and I’m free after 2 in the summer. I can travel to your house and stay with your pet and keep them company. If you need me to stay there/house sit, we can talk about that as well.
“Heather was amazing to work with! She was a huge help walking our dogs while we were away for four weeks. My dogs loved her and she was so kind, taking such good care of both our active 5 year old Frenchie and our senior Frenchie and sending great pictures and updates along the way. She’s the best! ❤️”
About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.
“Monica was amazing at taking care of our cat! She provided many updates/photos and took things at our cat’s pace as she’s quite shy. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Monica!!”
“Bryn is absolutely wonderful! On time, communicative, and so kind/gentle with Milo. She is great at reading let body language and respecting when a pet just wants space. Super happy to have found her and be able to work with her.”
“Tatiana was fantastic! Super responsive and on point. Normally our Kittie is mad at us whenever we leave him for a trip, but this time he was happy and relaxed when we came home. Tatiana took great care and made a new friend!”
“Natalie took wonderful care of our kitty Leila. She sent so many pictures during her visits and we enjoyed sitting down and scrolling through them every night. There’s nothing like peace of mind that your baby is happy and healthy while you’re away! Thank you Natalie!!”
“Amber has only spent two days with my pup and I can already tell they are going to be friends! He’s happy and lively when I come home so I know he is getting a lot out of her visits!”
“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”
About: I have always had pets both cats and dogs. Currently I’ve got 3 cats at home that keep life fun!

I’m available all day Wednesday and from 11-4 most other week days. Weekend availability is variable. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to accommodate your needs! Just ask!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Caroline was wonderful! She communicated clearly before the visit and took exceptional care of my cat while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, showing that my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Beyond feeing and litter, she provided plenty of cuddles, attention, and playtime, too. I would highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Blane did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat, Auggie! The level of detail and care that Blane put into Auggie’s Rover cards was awesome—lots of photos, details about what they did together, and info about Auggie’s behavior. Blane was always responsive, showed attention to detail, and got along so well with Auggie despite this sit being their first time meeting each other. I booked Blane as a last minute, fill-in sitter, but I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!
Rita was friendly and very easy to communicate with! She always responded to me quickly whenever I had questions. She left a message and cute photos of my cat Kiwi at each check in so I knew she was being well cared for. Would definitely book with her again next time we need someone to drop in on her!
Haowen and his girlfriend Yi were wonderful, caring, and very responsible sitters for our cat Yokii. My husband and I were quite anxious at first because this was our first time being away for such a long trip, and we were worried that our cat might have trouble adjusting or feel stressed. However, Haowen and Yi took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind. They always checked in on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and helped our cat maintain his daily routine as much as possible while we were away. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with whenever anything came up, which we really appreciated! On top of that, they took so many adorable photos and videos of our cat during each visit, which made us feel much more connected to him during our trip. Overall, we are extremely happy that our cat was so well cared for and that he got along so well with both of them. We (and Yokii) would absolutely feel comfortable and confident asking Haowen and Yi to take care of Yokii again the next time we travel. Big thanks again for everything!!
She was very caring, attentive, and took great care of my cat while I was away. She spent quality time playing with him instead of just stopping by to refill food, and it was obvious that she genuinely enjoys being around cats. She also kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Malden on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,564 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Malden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Malden 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.
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 Malden. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
