About: I have over 30 years experience caring for all types of animals. Growing up we had many animals from birds to iguanas and everything in between. I also worked at a pet store in my younger years. I have also had dogs all my life and am the go to person for neighbors, family and friends for pet sitting. My specialty is caring for puppies. I am trust worthy and reliable. I currently work at the hospital, 3 days a week. I would like to fill my other days and time with the things I enjoy and love. I can care for animals in their home with safety measurements the owners have created. Following the owners safety measures and providing me with a trust worthy environment makes for excellent care.
About: I started taking care of dogs when I was about 10 years old. Along with babysitting, family members, friends and colleagues have counted on me to watch over, feed, bathe and walk their pets. Fast forward 16 years and I am now a veterinary technician! I have 7 years of experience in this role and I love every second of it. What does this mean for you and your pets? Iâm trained on how to handle puppies all the way to senior care. If your pet needs medication daily, Iâm your girl! While I do work a busy schedule, as well as being a full time college student, I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I am unavailable on Mondays and Tuesdays unless you are looking for a quick drop in around lunch time or after 7pm. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have availability after 1:30pm and weekends are totally free unless I have a prior engagement! I can be flexible with these hours as well if we needed to work something out that fits your needs better! Iâve been a vet tech for quite a while now and have learned how to read each pet and their temperment. I have basic knowledge and understanding on how to handle an emergency situation. I will do my best to ensure that our time together is filled with happy tail wags, lots of snuggles and enrichment as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pup(or your kitty)!
About: I grew up with dogs and have done dog walking for people around the neighborhood. I will board and care for dogs for family or friends whenever they go on trip. I love dogs and always make sure to cater to their needs while keeping an open line of communication so their parents know how they are doing. I work full time as a nanny from 8 - 5 so I mostly do dog walks during the week and I have my weekends fully open. I have a large, two bedroom apartment and 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly. I can board dogs who can be left alone for a couple of hours since either I or my husband are usually home. I start with observing the pets. Each animal has their own wants/needs and their own way of communicating it. It is important that I understand their cues to give them exactly what they need and gain their trust. I believe in an open line of communication and so, do my best to update the parents on how their furry friends are doing.

About: I am a full-time (remote) student at UMass and dog-sitter extraordinaire! I have a lot of scheduling flexibility and I donât mind last minute bookings. Try me. I am a student and I study remotely so have the flexibility to accommodate daily visits & drop-ins for walks, feeding/potty breaks, playtime or overnight stays. Familiarity and routine are important for your pet in your absence. I prefer to come to your pet in their home for play, feeding, walks etc. so they wonât suffer unnecessary anxiety or stress from an unfamiliar environment, whether it be for drop-ins or overnight stays.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, Iâve become the go-to guy for all my friendsâ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and Iâm always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. Iâm currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. Iâm capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. Iâm always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: Iâve had a dog of my own since I was 14, and throughout the years Iâve also cared for other dogs for friends, family, and others. This has given me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a calmer approach. Iâm patient, responsible, and focused on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give and how I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to plan my day around each petâs needs so they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a clientâs home, I follow all instructions closely, respect their space, and keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure, and make sure they are always supervised. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being reliable, attentive, and caring.
âI needed a last minute visit for my Zoey. Molly got back to me right away. Since it was the next day we had a FaceTime meeting. Molly kept in touch the whole day with comments and I tired. I would definitely hire Molly for my next dog needs.â

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

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Marblehead is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $39 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 petâs 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.
As of November 2026, there are 9,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Marblehead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 doesnât 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.

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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
