About: Hi there! I am a responsible and diligent college student(20), and am happy to watch your cats and dogs. I love being active with my puppy but also chilling at home with my two cats. Very open to feedback and customizing my approach to every pet! I’m currently working part time, so any time I’m not working I want to do this! Mornings and afternoons, weekdays and weekends are all possible depending on my work schedule. I go on walks/runs already in my daily routine, sometimes with coco(our dog). I have experience with feeding, brushing, tick treatment, cleaning out the litter box, and playing with them. I have experience walking puppies, take them out to potty, etc.
“Lucy is awesome, I highly recommend! She took care of my cat Apollo while I was away - you can tell she really cares about the pets she cares for, and gives extremely detailed updates on her visits. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Danyel was great! She was very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. She is obviously an animal lover and made me feel comfortable right away. I loved the pictures she sent. My cat loved her!”
“Wendy was reliable and sweet with our cat, Coraline. She followed our directions and sent us pictures, and we never had to worry that coraline was well taken care of on our trip. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Sara was amazing with my cat Sophie. This was my first time using a pet service and I was nervous about the prospect until I met Sara and immediately felt at ease. The whole experience for me and my cat went very smoothly and I have already booked Sara for another time in a few weeks. Thank you Rover and of course Sara.”
About: Hello, my name is James! I don't remember a time where I did not live with a dog around the house. My first dog was a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, “duck toller for short”. named Trouble. He loved to guard around house and bark into the darkness. My current dogs are a pair of tiny Australian terriers named Chaos and Nemesis. They love to chase the wildlife in our forest, but are always down for pets in snuggling up. Given my experience growing up with dogs I hope that I can get to know your canine friends and spend more of my time with the creatures I love. Whether its a quick check in, a dog walk, or few hours of pet/housesitting ; I have plenty of time in my schedule to make for pet care. I will always try and treat the pets I am taking take of with as much love as their owners share with them. Plus a few extra treats.
About: I have taken care of pets for about 5 years and I have a very flexible schedule this summer. Please reach out through September first! I just graduated with my masters so I have the summer off before starting a clinical fellowship in speech and language therapy! I am free most week days! I offer cat sitting services in your home as well as dog walking and stop by to spend some with pets during the day too
About: I have cared for not only my pets but also friends, neighbors, and co workers for many years. I have a BS in Veterinary Science and work as a Forensic Scientist for the state full time. I am not only caring for your pet but am respectful of your personal space and time. I am experienced in administering medication via oral, ocular, SQ, and IM. I would love to get to know your pet! I have a flexible schedule and can drop in up to the early afternoon (3pm). I work locally and have a reliable car that I can get to clients with. I will treat your home and space with the utmost respect. I will ensure your dog is secure as well as your house before completing my appointment.
“Cam did a great job with my sweet but shy baby, Cardi. She can be very difficult to manage when giving medication and knows it’s coming, but Cam did great with her. I was kept up to date and even received a video of Cardi making biscuits on her favorite blanket. That put a huge smile on my face. Exactly what I needed as I was in the hospital for a procedure. Cam was very communicative, punctual and very careful with Cardi as she has arthritis in her lower spine and a bad left hip. I was appreciative of the concern for her wellbeing. Would definitely use Cam again.”
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
Erin was great. We had a dog sitter fall through at the last minute over NYE and Erin happily accepted the last minute request to visit our dog (Gus) 2x daily over the next three days. You could tell she loves dogs by her messages and photos she provided throughout. We highly recommend her.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Maynard 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 Maynard 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.

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 Maynard 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.
