About: I’ve Been Watching Is Me Or The Dog Since I Was Young And Found It Very Interesting How She Could Control Any Dog Respectfully, And Ever Since I’ve Been To Shelters Training And Being Around Dogs I'm available everyday is perfect for me since I do DoorDash I can easily work with pets rather than food delivery, is my drive and it motivates me I search my dog for any allergies or ticks every day, and prepare some remedies every time we go outside to keep him safe from any mosquitoes or tick bites.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old. When I was 12, my grandparents could no longer take care of their 3 crazy Weimaraners so we welcomed them into our family of pets for a grand total of 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and 2 hermit crabs. I’ve loved animals since as long as I can remember and have taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and attitudes over the years. I hope I can add some joy to your pup’s day, the way they add joy to mine! I’m currently pursing a masters degree in data science, but I have the summer off, so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week to take care of your pets! I am responsible, clean, and maybe overly attentive. I will do my absolute best to take care of your pet and your home. If your pet comes to my home, I will make sure they are in a safe, loving environment.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets. Both my neighbor and my grandma had cats that loved to explore the outdoors, so I spent many summer days playing and exploring with them. During quarantine, my cousin got an Australian Cobberdog named Rosie. When they were away, I would frequently volunteer to be the one in charge of caring for her. In recent years, when my friends were away they would trust me to walk and take care of their pets. Over the years I have gained a lot of experience caring for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, and am so excited to meet your pet! During the months of May-August I am situated in Newton MA. During the months of September-April, I split my time between Amherst MA where I go to school at UMass and Newton. I think pet care is a two way street. I can only provide my best care if I know your pets needs. I preform my best when I know everything I need to know about your pet.
About: I’ve had pets and been around animals my whole life, and truly adore all breeds. I know how important keeping to a schedule is for your pets and have always been a reliable person once I commit to a task. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as other family members pets. I am work part time at a cafe in Somerville and do freelance work on the side and have a pretty flexible schedule to accommodate pet care! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs, I’ll leave it as I found it! I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet so everyone feels comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Upper Falls
Lily is reliable and attentive. Lily's calm energy matched Burt's high puppy energy. Lily supported and followed the rules, always engaging and asking for clarification to give Burt the best experience. He absolutely adored Lily. Highly recommend having Lily be with your dog.
Kyra took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. Purrginia was relaxed and happy when we got home. Kyra was communicative throughout, kept up with feeding, water, and litter, gave Purrginia plenty of attention, and even grabbed our mail. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!
Hannah took such great care of our cat, Luna, while we were away. She sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about Luna and knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable and happy. She played with her, gave her lots of attention, and kept everything clean, including doing an excellent job with the litter box. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!

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 Newton Upper Falls 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.

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.
