“Vanessa watched our two super shy cats over the holidays. One of our cats requires a daily medication mixed in with food and, as cats do, refuses it unless conditions are perfect to her evolving specifications 😂. Vanessa troubleshooted with us to meet her demands 👑. She was very patient with our other anxious nugget also, who even accepted her head scratches. They both seemed really healthy when we returned. Vanessa was also reliable with her visit times and communication.”
“Teri was an exceptional dog walker, sitter and companion for the hours she spent with our 6-month-old pup. Teri comes with a wealth of knowledge about dogs which was so helpful to us. She was punctual, great with communicating, and attuned to our pup the entire time. We received updates, photos and some very helpful advice. We felt so secure leaving our pup in Teri’s hands and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, caring, attentive, and knowledgeable dog walker or sitter!”
“Had a great experience working with Jamie for drop-in visits during the day! She is very prompt and her communication is great. She has been very understanding of our pup and her needs, and we’ve had no issues so far :)”
“Julia was great! She sent the best pics of my kitty while I was away and he seemed to really enjoy her company during the drop-ins. No issues what so ever and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am attentive, patient, kind, and empathetic toward all animals. I’ve spent my whole life around pets, grew up with four huskies, and have always wanted more pets in my life. I currently have two cats, a senior named Gatsby and a kitten named Pippin. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I work from home full time and set my own schedule, so I can be flexible with timing of walks and drop in home visits. I have a car and easy access to all forms of transportation. I can visit your home and stick to your and your pets’ routines, or pop by in the middle of the day for walks and trips to the dog park.
“Victoria took excellent care of my shy boy Ron! She made sure all of his needs were met while also making friends with him! I will be using her for care of my car in the future! Thank you!”
About: I have two cats of my own who I truly love more than anything, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs, and caring for other people’s cats. I have a warm, calm, and patient demeanor, and I always take the time to let animals get comfortable with me at their own pace. I know that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I believe building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal. I’m also comfortable administering medications and have experience giving inhalers to cats and dogs. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am a school social worker at a special education school and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available most weekday evenings and currently have daytime availability on Fridays. I also have some weekend flexibility and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s specific needs! I always prefer to meet with clients and their pets before booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care for their individual needs. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences, as well as become familiar with your home and any important safety considerations. Building trust and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable is incredibly important to me!

About: I have owned dogs since I was 7 years old. I have always cared for them as if they were my own children! I have a 9 yr old pug (Lily) who has gotten along with every dog we have had. Snuggles and walks are part of the stay and every doggie guest is sent home with a special treat as a thank you for overnight stays with me! I can also pick up and drop off local pups at no charge! I work from home so I am always here to attend to your pup. I also have older children who love to play and cuddle with them! I have a fenced in yard and a safe street to walk dogs on. I have a gate to prevent dogs from going upstairs. My couch is a comfy space for the dogs to lounge!
“Lauren took care of our cats while we were out of the country for two weeks and was absolutely phenomenal. She followed our instructions to a T! We got thorough daily updates and awesome pictures. Our cats were so comfortable with her— even our shy one. She did a great job administering meds, too. Above all, we appreciated her consistent communication. We will be requesting sitting from her again in the future!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marblehead
Highly recommend Johnny! He took excellent care of our dog Candy, feeding her and taking her out for a nice walk. He was incredibly communicative, followed all of our instructions to a T, and gave us total peace of mind. Candy was in great hands, and we will absolutely reach out to him again in the future!
Charlie was absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being friendly and not too formal. Communication was clear and prompt from the planning of the meeting to the actual visits caring for my dog. Definitely will be reaching out again when I next need a dog sitter

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Marblehead stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Marblehead 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Marblehead with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
