About: I am a dog person. Just lost my best friend in October and thought it would be nice to help others with their babies. I will be honest, I don’t have any special skills, just a lot of love to share with your pet while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 1 PM. My afternoons are open for walking and playing. My weekends are open unless I am away. I have a nice big fenced in yard and don’t go out much during the week. Have a lot of friends with dogs for playdates.

Molly went above and beyond in her care for Vera and Nikita! She was an incredibly reliable and friendly sitter who clearly loves and cares for animals deeply. She stayed longer than needed to play with my energetic kittens and even brought them new toys. Can’t thank her enough and will definitely use her again!

Lauren was fabulous! My dog loved her! She was very responsible and did everything I asked her to do. She sent me pictures everyday which I really appreciated. I’ve already recommended her to some of my friends. I’m trying to think of some other places to go so I can use her again. Even my elderly neighbor loved her because she took the time to talk with him.

Secondly Ive taken care of my boyfriends two dogs named Mabel and pebbles, they are both small dogs, and ive taken care of them by walking them , feeding them , and sleeping with them as well.

Im currently working part time right now , so I will have plenty of time to play with lots of dogs , and of course puppies!! Which im very very excited about. Near my complex I live around the corner from a park where I would take my old dog. I can take your dog to a park so that your dog can socialize with other dogs , puppies , etc (if requested). Lastly I will make sure that your dog will be on a leash the whole time , and to make sure that your loving dog will have plenty of water no matter where we are.

About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here! I currently work Monday through Thursday 8-5pm & Fridays 8-3pm in a dog friendly office. I do have an hour lunch break and am willing to use that time to stop by. My after work activities are extremely flexible! Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.

About: I have grown up caring for pets whether it may be for neighbors, family members, or dogs of my own. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pet and I find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs. I currently have two dogs at home (a 14 year old yellow lab & 1 year old French bulldog) and have experience with handling all different breeds, sizes, and age dogs. I am confident in my skills and will show love your pet as if its my own! I currently work part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups!

I have a fenced in yard at my house and 2 extremely friendly dogs to keep your pup company! When it comes to visiting your pups house, safety will be my top priority and I will be sure to either walk your pup on a secure leash/ harness or make sure that all gates are closed before letting them out if the yard is fenced in.

About: We are a family with a 12yr old male and a 11 yr old female bearded collie, a 7yr old English Setter and one cat who thinks he’s a dog. My 22yr old adores pets and has taken pride and responsibility in helping care for and train our dogs. We would take care of your pet like it was one of our own to assure you that peace of mind while away from him/her. We have a very large fenced in yard where your dog will always be supervised when outdoors. We would also be more than happy to send text messages with photos or videos of your pet while with us! About this sitter: I am an animal lover and cannot imagine our home without one in it! My son works from home, so your pup would never be alone. Your dogs will feel at home while staying with us. They will be able to sleep wherever they would as if in their own home. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs all of my life. As a child, I had a cockapoo who passed away when he was 15 yrs old. Then while I college, I rescued a collie pup from the pound. Athena was with me until she could no longer walk at the age of 13.5. My past two dogs, unfortunately had lyphoma..one was a scottish terrier who passed at the age of 3 and the other was a wheaton terrier who passed at the age of 4.5. After this terrible experience of losing 2 dogs at such a young age, our family steered away from the terrier breed as they are prone to cancer. Our bouncing beardies have brought so much joy and love to our lives... About my yard Our yard is large, and completely fenced in! It’s like having our own doggie park in a safe environment. My experience administering medication Administering medications is not a problem. Over the years, I have administered pills, drops and liquid medicines, and injections to our animals for various reason You dog will always be supervised while in our care. There is someone always at home to care for the visiting dogs. They will never be left alone . We have a fenced in yard to keep your pup safe. They are always supervised while outside for safety . Pet safety is our number one priority while in our care.

Amanda walked our dog Luna on 3/18. She came for a meet and greet and I could immediately tell how thorough and caring she is. She showed up right on time and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. Our door can be finicky and it locked on Amanda. She went above and beyond, taking Luna back to her house and played with her until I got home, sending pictures and updates the whole time. Luna was clearly happy about the additional time spent with Amanda when she was dropped off. We definitely recommend Amanda and will be using her in the future.

Rosemary was a last minute Rover sitter we had never used before, and she ended up being a huge lifesaver! Easy communication and never had to worry about a thing. Will definitely add Rosemary's name to our Rover sitter list.

10 stars if possible. Jamie jumped in to help when I had a last minute emergency. She was great with my animals and communicating. I stopped worrying after Jamie’s first visit and report as it was clear that the animals were in capable and loving hands. Will ask (beg) her to look after my pets in a heartbeat

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Reading

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in North Reading on Rover is $21.4 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 9,893 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Reading. 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 North Reading 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 North Reading 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 North Reading 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 North Reading. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
