“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.”
“Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.”
“I am very happy to have met Lisa and have her take care of my two kitties while out of town. My cats are excited to see her when she visits and not just because they are hungry ;-) Lisa is kind, thoughtful and fun. I highly recommend her!”
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.
“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 have had pets all of my life and adore animals :) I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a stranger. Therefore, my mission is to provide reliable care that leaves you (and your pet) feeling at ease! I have experience taking care of my own dog and neighbor’s dogs. I will tend to your pets needs efficiently and with care! I work on a hybrid schedule, so please check my calendar for my specific availability. When I am working remotely, I am located in the Sudbury area. I keep pets in environments that they feel comfortable in: their routine is priority. Whether they like being let out in the yard, or taken on leash for walks, that’s what we will do!
“Just the sweetest! Our very shy doggies loved Lucy. She went at a speed that was comfortable for them. Reliable and sent lots of updates and kept great notes!”
“Phoebe watched our dog for the first time this past weekend. She managed to win her over pretty quickly. She did drop in visits. She was prompt and kept us informed the whole time. She used the Rover app to let us know when she came and how long she stayed, so no worry on our part. She also set lots of photos. We will definitely have her back!”
About: As a dog owner my whole life I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, From senior dogs who need that little bit of extra care to young puppies who need that extra exercise and training, I will be your furry friends new bestie ! I am a stay at home mom and have lots of time to take care and play with All the animals. I like to go out for morning and afternoon walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing . I also have a 3 year old miniature dauchand who loves to run and play with new friends .
About: I have always been that guy on the street asking to pet your dog. I love my 2 year old Doxin mutt, and I am ready to share a bit of that love with other dogs. I am available most week days and considering my dog has gone for 10 mile walks, I can handle a solid walk with yours! I have played sports all my life and love to be outdoors. I have worked as a manager for the last 4 years of my life and I am looking to do something that makes me happy and if dogs do not make you happy then I am really unsure of what possibly can. I will take all the photos you would like of your puppy when I am with them since I would love them to put a smile on your face as they do mine. I work mostly evenings but my young daughter and I are free and together most of the days while my wife is at work. So the two of us love to go on adventures to go walk pooches or just be outside. We are mostly free mornings and middays however, since I am off Sunday Monday those days we are free for anything. I want to make dogs feel welcome in my home so I will do whatever they need to be comfortable between walks and playing or relaxing. We have lots of beds and rugs and sunny spots and we all love getting out of the house to be active. Every single dog is different but most all them love some good scratches.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has two large labs (13 years old and 6 years old) that I helped train since they were puppies. I often watch them for my parents when they go on vacation, so I am very comfortable with overnight care and love taking my pups for long walks. I also had a cat for 3 years in college. I love spending time with all animals!! I graduated college with my Bachelor’s degree and am currently living at home with my family. My days are filled with applying for jobs, going to the gym, making sourdough bread, spending time outdoors, and caring for my dogs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I do not offer care in my own home because I want to keep my dogs’ environment comfortable and stress-free. However, I am happy to provide care in your home, where your pet will feel most secure and comfortable. I have a spacious SUV equipped with dog beds and a ramp for my older dog, allowing me to safely transport pets for walks when needed. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Skylar has been phenomenal with my puppy! She is patient, kind and really loves animas. She even made an adorable drawing of him. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby!”
“Cannot recommend Sara enough! She was incredibly thorough and sent so many pictures and videos. We were out of town for about a month so she even offered to help with the plants and bringing in the mail, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional, and very obviously LOVES animals. It was such a relief to know my little buddy was in such capable hands. Thanks again Sara!!”
“Rachel was so so great…caring, loving, kind to our black lab Rosie. She did drop in visits while we were away for 4 days. Extremely reliable and went above and beyond. She even gave Rosie her dog’s slow feeding bowl to see if that would help her eat a bit slower. Would recommend Rachel without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking care of our girl!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
We had a wonderful experience with Alyssa while we were away. She took great care of our two cats and sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. What impressed us most was that our very shy cat, who normally hides from anyone he doesn’t know, actually came out for Alyssa and even let her pet him! She clearly made him feel comfortable and safe. Alyssa spent time playing with the cats, kept their litter boxes clean, and took great care of everything. We came home to two happy cats and a clean house. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely have Alyssa stay with them 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!

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 Maynard 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.

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 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.
