About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it is for over night stays, walking, and cleaning cages; I am a trustworthy individual that takes great responsibility with your space and pet. I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days. On Saturdays and Sundays I am available from 8am-8pm so I would be able to house and pet sit over night those days. My schedule can be flexible so please do not hesitate to reach out to inquire!

I have had pets my entire life, from a small Terrier to a medium Terrier/Collie to a large Lab. I have done several dog sits for family and friends outside of the app. Am capable of crating, giving medicine, and keeping up with a feeding schedule.

About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received! Natalie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My cats were relaxed and happy when I returned—clearly well looked after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to seniors, including helping with the birthing process and caring for litters. My family and I have also fostered many puppies and rescue dogs through Great Dog Rescue New England. I’m a recent college graduate with a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for recurring bookings, overnights, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting. I’ll care for every pet like they’re one of my own!!! I work a hybrid schedule in Boston and live in Chelmsford but I move to Medford in November so I'm servicing the area!! This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for traveling to your pups and staying with them! I’m available for recurring bookings, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with you to fit your pet’s normal routine! That's most important! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and needs, and will always treat your pets like my own!
“Leslie was the best communicator and cat sitter during my time away from Louie. She kept me posted on his activities. I was excited to see daily pics of him. She earned my trust and I will go with her again and again and again. Thanks! Renee & Louie”

I am working full-time but have plenty of room during the week to take care of pets! very flexible and open, watching pets makes my day :) I have been told I can quickly create a special and trusting relationship with any dog, and I take care of my dog friends very responsibly while having fun with them
“Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!”
“Rebecca was great! She responses to texts quickly, showed up on time, took my dog out for a bathroom break and fed him his lunch while I was at work. I highly recommend her ??”

About: I’ve had furries since I was 4, dogs, cats, fishes! I believe all dogs and cats deserve to be treated with love compassion and attention no matter the size, breed, or species. I will love your pet like it’s mine and make them feel as comfortable as possible so you and your furry can have calm, fun and comfortable getaway!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.
“Elizabeth is so wonderful! She is always on time and wonderful with all types of pet personalities. We are looking forward to having her back in the near future!”
About: I had a dog in my household throughout childhood, and after moving out on my own I got my very own sweet pup! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. I am very patient with dogs and understand that each one is unique! I would treat your dog just like my own (and she's VERY loved and spoiled!!) I work full-time remote, so I am at home all day, every day! This gives me the flexibility to care for your dog and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I take my own dog on numerous walks throughout the day and take additional work breaks for some play time. :) I am easily adaptable and can care for your dog however is needed. I am happy to take them for long walks, or cuddle on the couch, amor romp around and play. I am also comfortable crating dogs as needed and can keep them on a consistent feeding schedule if you have one. (My own dog is on a feeding schedule and I know how important routine can be for them!)
“Kyle is great! He has been walking Quinn for a couple weeks now & she is very comfortable with him! She’s a nervous Nelly, so this is important to us. He also helps out with Maddy, our 16 y/o cat that needs medication daily. He goes above & beyond for us & we apostate him!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my heart. I was lucky enough to share 20 beautiful years with my two pups, who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. Loving and caring for them shaped the way I show up for every animal I meet. I have a naturally calm, grounded energy, and animals seem to feel that right away. Most pets warm up to me quickly, whether they’re playful and energetic or a little shy and need gentle patience. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I provide. Your pet won’t just be watched… they’ll be cared for with presence, respect, and lots of love. Hugs- Auntie Trie Hi, I’m Trie – a traveling artist with a heart full of love for furry companions! While I spend most of my time creating intuitive art and sharing it at music festivals and events, I also cherish the quiet, grounding joy that comes from the company of pets. Pet sitting is my way of adding a little extra income while also getting some much-loved snuggles and tail wags in return. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. That’s why I offer more than just feeding and walking — I provide companionship, comfort, and care. Plus, as an artist with a keen eye, I’ll send you professional-quality photo updates so you don’t miss a beat (or a bark). Whether your pup needs a playmate, your cat needs some chill company, or your plants just need a good watering — I’m here to help make your time away stress-free. Let’s chat and make sure your pets (and peace of mind) are in good hands I will take care and love of your pet in your home just as I would it was my pet or home. I will make sure that they stay safe and protect your belongings.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school, for my moms clients, my neighbors, family friends, and my own dogs through my life. I trained both my previous dog and my current dog. Baths, walks, special dinner requests, cleanup. I am currently working part time. I am looking and willing to dedicate the rest of the days off, weekends, and holidays to meeting some fur friends! By asking for specific instructions and carefully following them to ensure both the animals and myself have both a pleasant and safe experience with our time!

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Reading is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 per visit. On Rover, 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 9,712 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Reading. 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 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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
