“Working with Jacqueline was an A+ experience from start to finish. We had booked a fairly challenging care schedule with two Golden Retrievers at home while we were away, but Jacqueline exceeded every expectation and more! She was diligent in sending updates, shared wonderful photos of activities and moments, and was an overall wonderful caregiver to our dogs. We could tell how happy they were to see her each day! Jacqueline was a true partner to us and left an amazing impression of the level of service she brings to the job; we would happily work with her again in the future.”

About: Hi, I am Julie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and recently said goodbye to my cherished 13-year-old pit/lab mix after years of loving companionship. Four years ago, I turned my deep passion for animals into a professional career, and I would be truly honored to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. Dogsitting is a calling that chose me just as much as I chose it, and because cats and dogs naturally gravitate toward me, I take special joy in winning over even the most timid pets. I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. As a massage therapist, I bring a gentle touch to my pet care, ensuring your pup receives plenty of petting, belly rubs, and ear scratches—if they enjoy that kind of affection. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, adjusting my daily routine to meet the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's taking them for long, leisurely walks or adhering to a strict feeding schedule, I am dedicated to providing the best care. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, ensuring that your pet’s health is always in good hands. Your pup will feel pampered and loved while you are away!

About: I’ve taken care of 7 dogs growing up and have worked with small dogs like pugs and beagle mixes all the way up to black labs and a 130lb boxer mix. I'm a full time gym teacher in Worcester with a very flexible availability, especially on the weekends. I can easily travel around central MA with some of my dog walking clients being in Berlin, Wayland, and Hudson MA. I make my pets feel at home in my place and would do the same for yours. I make sure to have everything clean and ready for any pet or pet owner to come home too.

I have one shy baby that hides when new people come by and Caitlyn made sure to lay eyes on her too. Leo, my outgoing baby was clearly very happy to receive all the love, pets, and playtime based on photos! Highly recommend booking Caitlyn!”

About: Hi! I’m Leah, and I’ve been around animals my entire life, with 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I grew up with parents who are veterinarians, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently taking real estate classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to work dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule easily, and I enjoy having a job that keeps me active while allowing me to continue working toward my career goals. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets are comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. With my 20 years of experience around animals and growing up with veterinarian parents, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs.

Juliana took great care of my dog for a week. She followed our instructions closely, was very on time for every visit, and even checked our mailbox as requested. She kept my dog good company, made sure he got regular exercise and walks, and he was fed and played with consistently. Would book again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Marlborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Marlborough on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 10,050 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Marlborough. 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 Marlborough 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.

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 Marlborough 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 .

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.

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 Marlborough with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marlborough. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
