About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.

About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember — I grew up with a black Lab (12 great years), have had my own dog for almost 7, and regularly watch a close friend's dog when they travel. So I'm used to slipping into someone else's routine and earning a new dog's trust while making sure they are enjoying themselves. On walks I'm patient and attentive: no phone-scrolling, pace matched to your dog, and a photo update after every visit. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first if your dog is nervous, senior, or just particular. Message me anytime. I am a Marketing Consultant by trade so I typically have time during my days to come meet up with a dog who needs some care. That's why I started my Rover profile. I love dogs and have time for them! I have two young kids and a dog at home so I'm accustomed to taking direction. Happy to follow any directions you have to care for your dog - every dog has a 'thing' :) My main goal is to always make sure the dog gets the essentials - exercise, food, water - and from there it's about happiness. I'll play, give pets, take outside in the yard...whatever the dog needs!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly other dogs boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.

About: I've cared for and trained dogs and cats since age 6. I'm comfortable working with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats, and I absolutely love large breeds. I'm currently self-employed, so I have a very flexible schedule. I'll work in my work around your and your dog's schedule. Some weekends, I'm taking my kids to a tennis tournament, so I may not be available, or might need to reschedule. I have a large, furnished basement for your dog to run around in and explore, and there's a large soccer field across the street. If I'm visiting your home, I will work with your layout to insure your dog gets enough activity and has some fun!

I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.

About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.

About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs

About: I've had a dog most of my life and I love them! They are my love and passion. I enjoy walking them and working on some simple training skills. I have a 1.5 year old Golden retriever and he loves to play with dogs too! I am a local realtor in town and my husband owns his own business and works from home most of the time. Our schedules are very flexible so we are home a lot and able to cover for 1 another if need be. We have 4 kids so our home always has people coming and going. The kids love dogs too, they are begging for another! I have an electric fence in our yard so if your dog is trained on it already, it can work in my yard as well. I have our kitchen and family room gated off so the dogs are in a safe environment, in case your dog eats things. My dog eats socks, tissues and toilet paper, so when I'm not home, I keep him in the gated space in the house. He has lots of toys in there and loves to play and look out the back door into the backyard. He's a very happy baby as I'm sure your dog would be too.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with dogs and cats, and currently have a 4-year-old black cat named Mavis, who loves belly rubs, attention, and treats. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m happy to help with feeding and fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime and exercise, basic grooming, medications when appropriate, and lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away! I nanny part-time, so I have pretty open and flexible availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, walks, and longer visits. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own! I nanny part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and leaves me with plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to work pet sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits into my daily routine pretty easily. I also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life! I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection based on their personality and comfort level. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and am happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember. Whether it's a young, playful puppy or a sleepy senior dog, there's nothing I can't handle. Over the years I've owned three dogs, two cats, a hedgehog, a chinchilla, various reptiles, and more. You could say I'm animal obsessed. I will always give your critter the love and care it needs, so don't hesitate to reach out! I work partially from home, so I'm around to give your furry friend attention. I'm always looking for reasons to take a break outside, so walks will never be a problem! I live on the first floor of an apartment complex where we have a fenced in dog park and ample room for walks! I also enjoy staying at client’s homes, ensuring I keep everything clean, orderly, and safe for your pet.

About: Hi, my name is Jose and I'm excited to meet you and your pet. I have cared for and looked after dogs, cats, birds, and other animals for most of my life. Your pet will be cared for and loved when they're with me, because above all, I love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats, and when it comes to dog training, I implement positive reinforcement methods. I have handled dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. I love dogs because of their boundless enthusiasm and love for even the simplest of things. Your dog will get a lot of attention and playtime when they're with me. You can rest assured that I will treat them as if they were my own. Cats are also welcome, and in fact, most of my experience for the past 5+ years has been with cats, whether it's feeding them, sifting their litter, or keeping them entertained. I'd love to set up an initial call to see if I would be a good fit for your pet. If that goes well we can then set up a meet and greet to confirm details and allow your pet to become familiar with me. I don't work a full-time job since I also take time to take care for my child, so my day time hours are very flexible. For dogs I make sure they're on leash at all times outside and for cats and other animals I just make sure they have everything they need and are entertained under my care.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Natick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Natick on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 11,048 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Natick. 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.

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 Natick 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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 Natick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 , 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.
