“We had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Matt and Alyssa! They were very responsive and professional. We loved receiving regular updates and lots of cute photos. We could tell that our kitty was happy and well cared for! Will totally book again in the future.”
“Marc's relaxed attitude helps my dogs to stay calm. Marc is kind, and professional and communicative and I highly recommend him. My dogs have a great time with him and they come home very happy.”
About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day either inside or in my large fenced in yard. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.
“Xiaoxue was great with our two dogs. She came to meet them and was very thorough on learning what they needed. The pictures and rover card were great to get. Highly recommend!”
About: I've raised four cats and a dog, ensuring they receive proper nutrition, playtime, and medical care and creating a loving, safe environment for their happiness and health! I'm currently a college student and I also work as a cadet with the Massachusetts State Police. I am available in the afternoons and the weekends! In my home, I offer a safe and loving environment for pets to help keeping your pet company, helping them feel comfortable and less anxious. I follow your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive regular meals, exercise, and enrichment. For client homes, I ensure their pets’ environment stays familiar, sticking to their feeding, walking, and playtime routines to minimize stress.
“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!”
About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was born and I have taken care of/owned dogs and cats since I was 20 years old. I have experience with small to giant size dogs and all different kinds of cats. I currently have 2 cats and a 90lb American bulldog. All were rescues. I love animals very much and would be great taking care of your pets. I am currently working from home. I have my work on my laptop and also my cell phone so I am totally available for anytime of day. I love animals very much. I would take care of your pets as if they were my own. Getting to know them and playing with them is one of the best parts. I will provide them with everything they need to be the happiest pets in the world while you are gone!
“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!”
“Erin was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know Reuben beforehand, even coming to our house to meet him. She was easy to communicate with, and it was clear she genuinely cared. Highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely adore dogs; To me, my family pets are like my brothers and sisters. I love getting to know a dog, and finding out all their little personality quirks. It makes me genuinely happy to have an animal cuddle up to me at night, or to take them on a nice long walk and see them running around all happy with their tongue hanging out. I adore petting, cuddling, and talking to animals like they’re people, but I’m always aware of and respectful of body language and boundaries; I will never ignore a pet that wants attention, and I will never bother a pet that wants to be left alone, either. Personally, I’m just here to meet lots of cute animals to pet and spoil, and whatever money I can make from it is a nice bonus ☺️ I work remote from my laptop; Usually that means I’m working from home, but I can work from basically anywhere with an internet connection. I’m on my computer intermittently between 9-5, attending infrequent meetings and responding to messages, but I typically have to be at my computer for certain periods of time for <20% of the day; Outside of meetings, I have total flexibility to go on hour+ long walks, play with animals, or take care of chores like cleaning litter boxes and feedings. I am extremely cautious with all pets, but especially other people’s. I will keep a close eye on them whenever they’re with me, whether we’re out and about or just at home. I double check water, food, and litter boxes throughout the day, and do thorough walkthroughs to check for messes if dogs are ever in a different part of the house for me or they are alone for more than an hour. I will be extra careful to only take dogs to trails and parks that I know are safe, and will always keep them away from roads, thin ice, and hunting areas. You’ll also get frequent pictures and videos from me throughout the day so you can be sure your fuzzy family members are safe and happy.
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!
“We requested this visit the same morning. Not only did Olivia meet our dog for the first time, but she sent us a photo and made us feel comfortable with the visit. Everything went extremely well. I will be happy to use Olivia again.”
“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”
“Sawyer was great- able to jump in for a short notice trip and did a great job communicating about how the visits with our cat were going. We were very appreciative and would definitely recommend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan. Tony and Maple love her. She is wonderful with them, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. Tony is a quirky dog, and she tends to every need he has, paying close attention. Both dogs adore her, and it shows by how happy and relaxed they are when they see her. She’s extremely reliable and always shows up on time. On top of that, she’s completely focused on whatever the dogs need. I especially love that after every visit, she provides thoughtful updates, including bathroom breaks, activities, and how much they’ve eaten, which is very helpful.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
Marc was wonderful! He checked in on our two dogs over the past few days and did a great job making sure they were both happy and well cared for. He took the time to play fetch with Rory and made sure Kiera was comfortable and had everything she needed. We really appreciated his attentiveness and care, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Erin was wonderful with our dog Gia! She left us notes and sent pictures throughout her time with Gia. She was accommodating and able to help us out last minute when our previous dog care fell through right before our vacation. We are repeat customers and will book with her again.
Danai was lovely to work with. She took good care of our animal crew, which included giving meds to one. When one of them was hiding extra well, she reached out asking where his hiding spots were so she could ensure he was doing ok, which I really appreciated.
She took excellent care of my three cats and was very responsive throughout our time away. I was concerned about a potential temperature issue in our home before leaving, and she kindly checked and updated me on it daily, which gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond, gave the cats treats, and they were all very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.
Kiaria is incredibly helpful and truly cared for my cat while I was away. She went above and beyond—bringing in my packages and even helping with the snow while I was on vacation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my home and my cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Maynard is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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 pet’s 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 11,076 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maynard. 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maynard. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
