“This is my second time having Danielle cat sit for my two cats. She is thoughtful and thorough when taking care of them and tidying up. She also is great at communicating status and responding quickly. I will definitely go to her for future pet sitting needs.”
“10/10 would highly recommend booking with Natalie! This was my first time using a sitter for my cat and Natalie made me feel so much more at ease with the care she provided. She was super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was flexible with my schedule. I'll definitely be booking again with her in the future!”
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”
“Kristis is very professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and with strong communication skills. She is super reliable. Because Kristin is super reliable, we trust her judgment. We highly recommend Kristin and any pet would be so lucky to meet her. We as her client are so happy and impressed with her excellent services and professionalism”
“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!!”
“Courtney is great. She go along great with our energetic puppy! She sent so many cute photos of our dogs and a report of how the day went. We look forward to having her babysit our dogs again!!”
About: My name is Suzie and I am 30 years old. I have owned a dog all my life and currently have one dog named Moose. I have interacted with many different types of dogs and personalities. I am confident I can make you dog happy. I currently work at a Hospital 3 days a week, so I am home majority of the week. I have just moved to the North Andover area and would love to explore the area with your dog. I also live with my boyfriend who is usually around when I am at work. He owns a female Husky who is at my condo occasionally. I do not have rules about pets being on furniture or in the bed. I have dog beds and large crate for them, whatever the prefer. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am home 4 days a week from work. I am able to be home with your dog to feed it and take it out in a timely manner. I work 15 minutes up the road, so if necessary I can leave work to let the dogs out. I live in a dog friendly condo complex that I can take your dog on a walk and live near trails to walk also. I have an open door crate dogs can go into if they are feeling overwhelmed or need a safe place to sleep.
“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!”
About: I have experience pet sitting, volunteering at shelters, and dog walking. I have even had a rabbit in the past, so nothing is off limits! I am a thorough cleaner as well. I aspire to deliver compassionate care tailored to your pet and your needs as a pet parent. I am available in the mornings and afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday evenings are open as well. I have open availability on weekends, too, especially for overnights. I will offer care in the client’s home and can promise my respect for your space and adherence to anything that makes you most comfortable with me taking care of your pet in your home!
“Jessica was pleasant, punctual and great with our Bella! Our dog has anxiety and is not the friendliest around people she doesn’t know. But Jessica did what I suggested and was able to have our dog feel comfortable with her and even alerted us about a situation in our house ! I definitely highly recommend her !”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stefanni. She was caring, and attentive to Fancy and Sterling and we truly appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and comfortable at home. We’ll happily book her again!”
“Rebecca did a great job! She came over the day before to meet us and our pup before her first drop in visit which was super thoughtful and reassuring. You can tell she really cares! Will definitely be using her again.”
“If you’re reading this, quit reading and just book Alyssa already. You won’t find someone else who will take better care of your pets - I certainly haven’t. Alyssa was nothing but extremely professional, organized and on top of it. I’ve never had an easier and more stress free vacation knowing that she had our backs. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Added bonus: she took some of the best pictures of my animals I’ve ever seen!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Reading
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.

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.

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.
