“Caroline was Daisy's first "stranger" sleepover and they both did great! I was put at ease knowing that Caroline was snuggling with Daisy as much as I do. I would definitely book her again!”

“Jeff was so kind and took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. Our girls can be very timid and they warmed up to him no problem. He came over and met with us on short notice, and was very professional. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again!!”

About: Hi, my name is Molly! My whole life I have always been fascinated by animals. I was fortunate enough to attend a vocational school where I learned animal science. I have taken hands on classes working with animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have done canine course work including agility, training, and grooming. My experience beyond classes includes working at two doggy daycares, alongside dog trainers, and walking dogs for a small business. I have also been walking dogs on Wag since 2021! Animal care, mainly dogs, has been a prominent part of my life. I have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds: small to giant, low energy to never ending energy, walks of all lengths in all types of weather. Additionally, I travelled a for a few months this year to volunteer on farms across America, gaining experience with all sorts of farm animals as well. Safe to say, I love animals! But I absolutely love dogs and I can't wait to meet your pup! I am currently in between jobs so pet care is my main interest at the moment. I have plenty of free time and lots of flexibility. Feel free to send me a message and I'm sure we can work something out! I know firsthand how important and valued pets are. To treat them as if they were my own is my goal when providing care. I understand animal body language and never push their boundaries.
About: “Hi, I’m Yvette ! I’m an experienced dog sitter, a parent to two dog-loving kids, and I work from home, which allows me to give plenty of attention to the pets in my care. With a flexible schedule and a warm, family-oriented environment, I make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or walks, I’m here to keep them happy and active throughout the day. I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits well into my schedule as I have flexibility with my part-time work and time working from home. This allows me to be available for walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs a pet might have throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my schedule to meet the specific requirements of each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while they’re with me In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and play, and I tailor their care to their unique needs and routines. From regular feeding and fresh water to daily walks, playtime, and cuddles, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure. I also keep a safe, pet-friendly environment, and I’m attentive to any specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to create a stress-free, enjoyable stay so pets feel at home while they’re with me.
“Raven is so great with Mabel! She keeps me updated throughout their time together with photos and messages, takes the time to play together, and ensure she’s well taken care off. Thank you!”

About: I have owned dogs for 40 years. I just recently lost my little Maltese. He was 16 years old and my best friend. Your dog will be treated like a grandchild when they are with me. One of my friends said that when she dies she wants to come back as one of my pets! I have the time and the experience to take care of your dog. I will try to accommodate your scheduling needs. If your dog requires a special diet that is not a problem. Once a week I roasted a chicken for my little guy. I just love their company. I look forward to the opportunity of spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and always having cuddle time. The house is just not the same without a dog around. I am retired so I have the flexibility to accommodate your booking and scheduling needs. No need to panic if you are delayed picking up your best friend. I adjust the day according to your dog's schedule. Your pet takes top priority. Since I only board one dog at a time (or 2 within the same family) your dog has my undivided attention all day. If your dog likes to cuddle on the couch or sleeps in your bed that is what he/she can do at my house. Before I accept a booking I require a Meet and Greet to determine if we are a good fit. I prefer small hypoallergenic breeds that DO NOT SHED!. If the dog comes to my home and does shed I will charge an extra fee of $50.00. Your dog must be house broken, bathed prior to boarding, current on all vaccines, and must have had a flea and tic treatment. I also request that anything you bring into my house is clean and laundered, like blankets and beds, etc. Your pet will never be outside unattended or off leash. Your dog becomes a member of my family during their stay and will be cared for like my own . That's a promise! I'm retired. I am home all day. Whatever schedule your dog has I can easily accommodate it. Having a dog in my home brings me much joy. The dog's needs come first. If a special diet is required or medicine needs to be given I am very capable of handling these types of situations. The dog will never be off leash when we are outside unless you have instructed otherwise. If the dog has certain "triggers" or is an anxious type we can discuss this behavior at the meet and greet and discuss how these situations are handled.
About: Hi There! I'm a retired athlete who loves to keep active and be around animals. I have a food science degree and have a deep understanding for the do's and dont's for animal nutrition. I also am a licensed EMT and like to think I have a natural first responder gene to all heart beats. I work as a trainer and train clients from my garage 2-7p 4 days/ week. I am able to walk peta between clients or have a pet with me on the job if they like being around others and enjoy the extra love and attention from my clients. I offer a lot of attention, energy, and knowledge in care as a health provider. I think pets, like people, are intuitive and can pick up on things. I offer plenty of outdoor walks, hikes (if possible), and even jogging (again if possible). I'm also able to adjust to breeds of lower energy and can be a couch potato and offer plenty of back scratches and tummy rubs.
“I really felt comfortable having Caitlin care for my sweet pup today. She was punctual, attentive and bonded quickly with Oliver. They spent time outdoors, and he got lots of his favorite belly rubs.☺️ I will definitely contact Caitlin again when the need arises.”

“Anna was wonderful! Kind, responsive, and clearly our dogs adored her, which was a huge comfort to us while being out of town for several days. We can't wait to use her again, and I know the pups will miss her until then!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mansfield Center
Macy took such great care of my dogs during the Nor’easter! I was extremely nervous to leave my dogs with someone other than family, but I had nothing to worry about! The dogs were happy all weekend and Macy consistently sent me updates and pictures! I would definitely have Macy sit for me again!

Amanda is our go-to for pet sitting & occasional dog walking. We have hired her for years - and we always know that we can relax and enjoy our vacation because she is taking such great care of our pup and two cats. Highly recommend. We have never had a concern about reliability or the care of our home.

This is our second time booking with Margaret and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s taken great care of our German Shepherd and been prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog loves her and my stepdaughter loves the pictures she sends too! I will absolutely continue to rebook with Margaret for sitting in the future and would highly recommend her.

Brianna was so thoughtful - took excellent care of our two senior citizen pups. Very communicative on how they were doing, eating, etc. Sent us pics. If she wasn't sure about something, she asked. Made us feel confident that our dogs were getting the best care. Highly recommend!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mansfield Center walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mansfield Center maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Mansfield Center 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
