“We were so happy with how well taken care of our cat was while we were away for the weekend! Keelyn was very detailed in her drop in visit summaries and we felt confident that she gave our elderly cat lots of love and attention at each visit. Thank you so much Keelyn!!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request and even squeeze in a meet and greet first. She sent loads of pictures of my cat, and feels genuinely invested in animals care and well-being. Excellent and quick communication all along, as well. I can't wait to use her again!”
“Paloma is the best, not just for watching our pets but she also waters the plants, collects mail, and has even helped moving a vehicle during a snow storm. Truly a life saver while we're away from home.”
About: I love dogs, all dogs and cats. I've been a pet owner my entire life. As an adult I have had several pets, they are adventure dogs. Outdoors, hiking, playing at the beach, lots of love, I've been hired several times as a pet masseur. I'm a trainer, all about health and wellness. So I take excellent care of pets no matter if they are mine or not! I have lot of love and patience. So puppies I'm used to training, and up to senior dogs too. Being a trainer makes it easy to take care of pets. My schedule is by the hour and i make my own schedule so this is perfect to fit into what i'm currently doing now. I will easily follow your lead as to what's best for your pet. I can crate them, watch them outside, honestly it depends on the pets needs. I also hav e a 4 door honda element that I bought specifically for my big dogs, so I have lots of room and safe environment for the dogs when it comes to travel if requested.
About: Trusted by many local families, I provide reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care. Most of my clients come through word-of-mouth recommendations (references available upon request) , and I take pride in building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. With having 12 pets of my own, I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as feeding and checking in on cats while families are away. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love and attention for your pets. I work some nights a restaurant and currently on a gap year! I will be traveling a little bit but will be available a lot. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 ferrets, a bunny, a bearded dragon, and some fish. I live in the basement am able to cut off my animals access down there if I were to watch your pet from my home which I’ve done before.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had the wonderful experience of caring for/watching dogs ranging from puppies to elder dogs. Friends and family have relied on me to check-in, dog sit, walk, play, and feed their dogs. They have trusted me with their pets without constraints. I’m currently working full time so this would be on a part time basis. However, my flexibility of WFH, allows me extra time for your pups! Ensuring your pets are comfortable with new faces is the most important. Routines, favorite toys, and time outside are my favorite things to help keep the dogs happy!
About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.
About: Hi, I’m Madelyn! I’ve been petsitting here on Rover and for local friends and neighbors for the past 7 years now. As well as dogs and cats, I also have a lot of experience with ferrets, lizards, bunnies, backyard animals, fish, and pet birds! Over the past 7 years of housesitting in Marblehead, as well as my childhood years spent on a farm and surrounded by a variety of animals, I have gained a lot of experience and skill, when it comes to working with and connecting with animals. Currently I work with a few families on an as needed basis as a family organizer and infant babysitter. My schedule is flexible, and I don’t work many hours at a time. Petsitting and dogwalking is my main priority and I’m grateful I am able to schedule any other bookings around my schedule. Housesitting: I use your home as my “home base” meaning I will sleep and spend any downtime in your home. This does not mean I will be at your home 24/7. Walks: When walking, I will provide your pup with a 30 or 60 min walk around your neighborhood. I’d be happy to collaborate with local doggy friends for group walks as well! Drop-ins: If you are going away and leaving your little friends home alone, I am available to stop in to provide food, water, potty breaks/cleanups, and lots of cuddles!
“So happy to have found Katie! Has great experience with animals, and my dogs warmed up to her right away. Punctual, responsive, and gave me detailed updates while we were away. Thank you!”
“Was able to fit me in within a week and took care of my dogs well when I was out. Was communicative especially when I was working a large event and couldn’t get back to him.”
“Ely is terrific--from the booking process to meeting our kitties to the wonderful care she provided when we were away. She was patient with our fussy boy who needed medication twice daily and gave both cats lots of attention. The photos she took and the reports she provided made us feel comfortable while on vacation. It is always tough to leave the fur kids for a trip, but it was so much easier knowing Ely was providing such excellent and kind care!”
“Isabella was wonderful. I left detailed instructions including notes on medications and she administered everything perfectly. I will 100% be using Isabella again.”
About: I have always owned pets and cared for pets of family and friends. I adopted my dog in 2017 and worked hard with a trainer and have learned a lot about walking dogs and caring for dogs and am very cautious and confident walking dogs. I also have 3 senior dogs currently and am used to caring for seniors. I currently work part time and have two children. My job schedule is flexible and I often have gaps in my day and time to walk dogs. I can also do occasional overnights. I will respect and follow your safety reccomendations and needs for your dog. I am very diligent and organized and will be able to follow instructions and keep your dogs safe and happy!
About: I love making friends with new animals! I have lived with, house sat, and taken care of cats and dogs. No worries if your animal isn't the friendliest with other animals or people, I have experience with that too and can handle it. I'm really looking forward to a wonderful opportunity to learn about all the different animal breeds out there and experience all your animals best qualities! I have a lot of free time right now as I am between life chapters. Pet care fits in perfectly with my active lifestyle and desire to take care and hang out with animals! I am used to working with scheduled meal times and administering medication if necessary. Long walks (or runs if you want!) with special attention to animal interactions, friendly or unfriendly. Any information you have for what your animal likes to do, I can do!
About: I love animals and have fostered countless cats and dogs for the last 40 years. I am sensitive to their overt body language and needs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can make myself available for last minute care or emergencies, and can be readily reached for updates re the pet I’m caring for. I work for Trusted Pet Sitters and have been taking care of many pets in their homes in that process. I care for cats and dogs in their environment and know how to make them feel safe and loved in their owners’ absence.

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!
Caitlin was fantastic! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request and even squeeze in a meet and greet first. She sent loads of pictures of my cat, and feels genuinely invested in animals care and well-being. Excellent and quick communication all along, as well. I can't wait to use her again!
Brianne took care of my cat for two weeks with drop-in visits and did a great job. She fed her, gave her medication, scooped the litter, and made sure she got some playtime and attention. She even took our trash out. It was such a relief knowing our cat was being looked after so well while we were away. I didn’t have to worry, and that meant everything. I’d absolutely book Brianne again.
Sarah has cat sit for me many times before. This time I was leaving in a hurry with a lot of personal stuff going on, and didn’t have time to prepare for her as much as I usually do. She totally had it covered, and picked up all the slack to make sure my cat was cared for really well! I am so grateful to have her.

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 Marblehead 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.

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.
