About: I'm a local cat mom with 13 years of experience. I have a 9 year old Raggamuffin named Patches. I specialize in cat care, but also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of my friends and family. Whether I'm visiting a shy cat who needs space or an energetic dog ready for a walk, I promise to show up consistently, follow your pet's routine, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax while you're away. I currently have an open and flexible schedule which means I can accommodate early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and multi-day house sitting stays. Whether I'm doing a drop-in, a dog walk, or an overnight sit, I treat your pet and home the way I'd want mine treated. For cat visits I follow feeding and play routines, scoop the litter, and refresh water. For dog walks I keep them to familiar, low-traffic routes until I get to know your pup. For house sits, I keep the space tidy with doors and windows secure.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.

Michaela was absolutely wonderful. She’s responsible and kind and sent me informative reports every day along with photographs. She really eased my mind when I was out of the country recently and she was here every day to take care of my six cats! I can’t recommend her highly enough. I will definitely hire Michaela again when the opportunity arises! Thanks for everything, Michaela!

So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!

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.

About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for over 5 years, and during that time I’ve also worked at a pet boarding and daycare, where I gained experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I passionately believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, patience, and respect. I’m certified in first aid for dogs and cats. I absolutely love animals, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy pet! I’d love to become your fur baby’s new best friend, or at least their third best friend! I’m available for walks and check-ins on weekday afternoons for dogs and cats. I love having time with some furry friends to elevate my day! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry friend with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make every visit feel comfortable, fun, and stress-free. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means going for a walk, having some playtime, getting a meal, or simply giving them some extra attention and cuddles. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet is safe and supervised during our time together. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away!

About: Hi! I’m Alyssa. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and a kitten of my own, and I’ve previously had a dog as well. I’ve pet sat for family and friends, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated (pictures too!) during visits so you know how your pet is doing. I work full time but can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and other routines your cat and or dog is used to. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for them in their own home while respecting their space, routine, and personality. I’m attentive to details like food and water, litter boxes, medications when needed, and making sure doors and other areas are secure. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for Shiba Inus for several years—first helping raise and care for my girlfriend’s senior Shiba Inu for over 3 years, and now raising my own Shiba Inu from puppyhood. This has given me hands-on experience with both ends of the spectrum—from understanding the needs of an older dog, like slower-paced walks and gentler handling, to the patience and energy required to train and manage a puppy. I’m confident working with dogs that have strong personalities and require consistency, especially breeds like Shibas that are known for their independence. I’ve handled both a senior dog and a puppy, so I understand how to adjust care based on age and temperament. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and always focused on keeping pets safe and comfortable. I know how important structure and consistency are for a pet’s well-being, and I bring that same level of care to any dog I work with—whether it’s managing medication for a senior or reinforcing leash training with a younger pup. I work full time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends and holidays. I make the most of that time by planning dedicated pet care activities—whether that’s long walks or playtime. Because I have a dog of my own, pet care is already built into my routine, and I’m used to giving animals the time, attention, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and regular routines. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and secure by providing familiar surroundings, structured play, and clear boundaries. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m also experienced in reading dog behavior, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations.

Susan did a phenomenal job taking care of our really happy boys on our really busy schedule. I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care my furry friend received from Susan! Their genuine love for dogs was evident from the start. Not only did they follow all instructions diligently, but they went above and beyond to ensure our dogs felt at home. Daily updates with pictures reassured me that my pup was in good hands. I highly recommend Susan to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter for their beloved pet. A true gem in the world of dog sitting!

About: I’ve been consistently walking dogs and caring for pets for several years, with a perfect safety record and a passion for making every walk and visit a happy experience. Over 50 pet parents trust me to care for their furry family members thanks to my reliability, preparation, and genuine love for animals. I’m also fully insured, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet is in safe, professional hands. Whether it’s a stroll, a stay, or a playdate, I always come ready to make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for! I provide pet care full time, which means I have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. Whether you need a regular walking routine or last-minute help, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it. For your pet’s safety, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always secure doors, gates, and fences to prevent escapes and use properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes during walks. I supervise all outdoor time, monitor pets closely to avoid dangerous situations, and keep hazardous items like cleaning supplies or unsafe foods out of reach. I carefully follow any special instructions, including administering medications, and I stay alert for any signs of illness or stress. I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

Magnoly was excellent. She’s very intuitive about what the dogs need and she understood them. She is kind and gentle and understands directions well. My dogs are a little complicated to take care of that. They need certain foods and they have two very different personalities. I’m really glad I found Magnoly to care for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Methuen on Rover is $28.86 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 9,349 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.
