“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”
“First, my apologies for not leaving this review sooner. Amanda is a wonderful young lady and I felt extremely comfortable with her caring for Kia. I could tell by the pictures she sent that Kia was content and safe. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Beatriz was very professional, punctual and friendly. She did a great job taking care of our cats with their litter and even watered our Christmas tree. Left the house in great condition”
“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”
“I was so happy with Bella’s time with Arianna. Bella seemed very comfortable with her, proven by the adorable pictures I received every visit! I am already booking with Arianna for my next trip.”
“Tom was great with my kitty for the 2 weeks I needed him to come while I was out of the country. He played with her, fed her, and kept the litter box very clean. He took nice photos, too. I would hire Tom if I need these services again.”
“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”
“This was our 1st time using Hannah and she took great care of our 2 babies. They always looked so happy in all the wonderful pictures Hannah would send. She was always on time too. We will definitely use Hannah again. Thank you!”
“Bill and I always feel better after Jill checks on Murphy! Jill is timely, reliable and sends photos of our girls, which always makes our day. Murphy can't wait to see Jill again!”
“Susan was wonderful, sending lots of photos and leaving detailed report cards. She is extremely nice and my girls took to her right away. I would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”
“Courtney was awesome! She communicated well with me and sent pictures and updates that made me feel like my cats were being well taken care of. Thank you and I will be reaching back out!”
“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”
“Stephanie was great! They made sure to communicate every day and followed all the instructions to a T. Their availability during the holidays helped me a lot. Would book again.”
“Greyson LOVED Jessica! She is attentive to detail and goes and above and beyond. I appreciated the communication and clear passion for animals. I will definitely be hiring Jessica again - Grey says thanks for the cuddles!”
“Eleanor did a phenomenal job watching my two dogs over Memorial Day Weekend. Constant communication throughout the drop ins and provided picture updates as well. Highly recommend Eleanor and hope to rebook in the near future!!”
“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”
About: Hello, My name is Maria! I will be going into my senior year of college, after I graduate I hope to continue my studies to become a veterinarian. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, play, and feed their pets while they were away on vacation or at work. Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Methuen is $25

I have only the best things to say about Magnoly! She was punctual, professional, responsive, and so very caring with my 3 pups. She handles dogs of various temperaments with grace and knows when and how to step in to avoid negative interactions between dogs. Her Report Cards were thoughtful and the photos she took showed that my dogs were so happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for everything, Magnoly!
Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!
Yary provided care for my two dogs with only one day notice! First time using Rover and so impressed. She went above and beyond to give them a break from a long day home alone. The pictures she sent were adorable. I know they had quality time outside. Will definitely call on her again!
Ericka was great: she won Percy over and maintained daily schedule and tasks and kept us regularly informed, going above and beyond when we forgot to replace the battery in the time-release feeder! First time with Rover and Ericka and it was such a relief to entrust our kitty to such good care, now that he's on twice a day thyroid pills. Thank you!
Ava was AMAZING with our puppy, Willow! She watched her 3-5 days a week for a couple of months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was flexible with our schedule, always reliable, and her communication was excellent—we always felt at ease knowing Willow was in great hands. We would absolutely book with Ava again! Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Methuen on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,909 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
