Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Monica was really great when she came the first day and the key didn’t work! We were able to work together for her to find a way in so we didn’t have to come back early from vacation. She came for exactly 30 min and hung out with our cat and he was taken care of which is all we can ask for.
Leyna did a fantastic job looking after our adorable cat, Luna! My partner and I were nervous because it was the first time we used a sitter that was not a family member, but our worries were instantly swept aside once we met Leyna. She is kind, professional, detail-oriented, and clearly loves animals. From our first meet-up, Luna took to Leyna and based on the adorable photos that were sent each visit, Luna only continued to feel more comfortable with her. Leyna also followed all of our instructions for care and was proactive about asking questions before we left on our trip to make sure she understood everything clearly. I would highly recommend Leyna for anyone looking for a pet sitter. ☺️
Matilde is an attentive, friendly, and reliable pet sitter. She sent great detailed updates and photos of our cat, Frankie, while we were away, and even came by early to meet us before our trip. Frankie has some special dietary needs and Matilde made sure she was cared for, while also giving her plenty of cuddles and attention. We highly recommend her for pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her take care of Frankie again!
Lara was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and kind throughout her stay with our cats. She followed all of our instructions carefully and was diligent about keeping us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our cats felt extremely comfortable and happy around her—which is the ultimate sign of trust! I would have no hesitation whatsoever leaving our cats in Lara’s care again. She is someone I genuinely trust in our home and with our pets, and I would absolutely rebook and recommend her to anyone!
It's always a relief to know that Caitlin's looking after Jenny when I can't be there. I know Caitlin not only takes care of food, water, and other necessities. She also spends time with Jenny and let me know how she's doing. I absolutely recommend Caitlin for anyone's pet sitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Malden on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,506 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
