Joleen was wonderful with my two cats while I was away - she left very detailed messages about the visit, including how they were behaving and that everything looked normal in the litterbox. She was quick with communication and took great care of the kitties. Thank you so much Joleen!!!

Arianna took great care of our elderly cat. She spent quality time with him each day, and sent us many photos that indicated that the cat was eating (sometimes an issue with him) and being cuddled and cared for. I highly recommend Arianna - we will certainly use her again to watch our guy!

About: Fostered 10 different dog breeds with Last Hope K9 whom were successfully adopted. Trained with several volunteers to learn how to care for the dogs in our house. We take the pups to dog parks, for walks, feed them, play with them. My dog Champ I adopted in 2021 and my sister’s dog Stanley who lives with us. He was one of my fosters and we just had to keep him in the family so my sister adopted him. 😁 My sister is also on Rover and we work together taking care of the pups at our house. My sister and I take care of dogs and have been for several years. We are very passionate for dogs and love caring for them and spending time with them. We have a yard with a fence to keep your dogs active and well cared for. We are dependable, trustworthy and we provide a safe environment for your pups.

Courtney was so great with my cat, Arya. Arya is normally very skittish around strangers and Courtney was able to engage with her. She also followed all of my care instructions perfectly . 10/10 recommend Courtney.

About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!

I love all dogs and will treat them as my own!

About: I have cared for pets for friends and family for several years and have always loved being around animals. I also have an 11-year-old dog of my own, whom I trained from the time she was a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and am currently in graduate school pursuing a career in mental health counseling. My education and experiences have strengthened qualities like patience, communication, empathy, and attentiveness, which I also bring to caring for pets. While balancing part-time work and graduate school, I maintain a flexible schedule. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in June, with additional availability most Friday evenings and weekend mornings. I treat every pet like my own, making their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay mindful of their surroundings, follow instructions carefully, and always double-check that doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I also enjoy sharing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

About: I’ve loved and cared for nearly every kind of pet, from doggies and kitties to chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, geckos, birds, rats, and even snakes. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Of all my amazing animal friends, dogs are definitely my favorite — I’ve had a dog in my home my entire life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing the same care, attention, and affection that I’ve always given to my own pets. I'm currently working part time so my availability is vast! I can do most mornings, evenings after 4, and some weekends as well! If you ask, we can easily work something out! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during every drop-in visit, walk, and house sitting stay. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and exercise, to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. During dog walks, I make sure pets are always securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving experience so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: Hi everyone, my name is Rachel! I recently moved to the area to pursue a graduate degree in public health. I’ve had a variety of job experiences that I believe reflect my diligence, responsibility, and hard-working attitude. These include working as a lab technician, research coordinator, lifeguard, and barista. My friends would describe me as an extreme dog lover who is always willing to take care of their pets when needed. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of pets and am willing to help as much as I can! At this moment, I am very flexible and can be available at any time until classes begin. However, the times will likely change by week. I care for any pet as my own. I genuinely love pets and would be very attentive to their needs. This usually includes playing with them and lots of petting when needed.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Methuen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Methuen on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,523 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Methuen. 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 Methuen 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 Methuen 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 Methuen 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 Methuen. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
