About: I'm a life-long pet owner and a passionate animal lover. Since I was a kid I've walked dogs and petsat for friends and family, as well as currently being a cat owner. I would love to spent time with your furry friend(s), ensuring they're happy and healthy! During the year I'm a full-time college student, but I have plenty of time this summer to care for your pets, including overnight stays if required. I will treat your home with respect. I am very good at following instructions, so any and all rules you set out will be followed to a T.
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets of my own, so caring for animals feels natural to me. I also watch my neighbors’ pets regularly, which has given me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and understood. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving extra playtime, or providing a calm presence, I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated so they always feel confident their pets are in good hands. I am still a student in school which means on weekdays, I am completely available after 3 pm! And I’m available anytime on the weekends! I make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their routines carefully, supervise them at all times, and create a calm, secure environment. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I respect their space and personality. I also provide regular updates so owners know their pets are well cared for and safe while they’re away.
“Cat was fantastic with our shy Greyson! I am amazed that she was able to get him comfortable enough to come out from hiding! Also her communication while we were away was great!”
“Kerri is extremely flexible and wonderful with our pup. She is patient and kind. Our pup is the happiest to see her! She is definitely our go-to person to entrust our pup’s care !”
“Tom was a fantastic sitter! He was reliable, communicative, friendly, and flexible throughout the process. He also got along great with our cat and sent helpful photos from his visits. We would absolutely hire him again.”
“I HIGHLY recommend Courtney! I am very particular about my dogs, and she took such great care of them. I will absolutely book her again. One of my dogs is very skeptical about new people but loved Courtney immediately. Both my dogs take medication daily (one twice daily), and this was no problem.”
“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
About: 15+ years of experience owning and caring for animals from dogs, to cats, to birds, fish, and more. Each pet has its own amazing personality and character! I work a flexible schedule as a real estate agent that mostly consisted of work at home, afternoons and weekends. I am happy to help neighbors with any pet care needs. I do walks and drop in visits but unfortunately cannot host at my house I currently live in lynnfield in town, and I have no pets at home so your pet will be my sole focus for care and attention!
“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 !”
“Janelle was wonderful taking care of my two cats Olivia and Toby! She sent lots of pictures of the kitties during meal time, playing, and getting treats. I knew my babies were well taken care of left with Janelle!”
“Candi is the ideal pet sitter you’ve been looking for! She is reliable, trustworthy, and shows genuine kindness to our pets while we’re away. Preparing to travel and making accommodations for our furry friends has never been easier with her help.”
“I have been using Leo for a little over a month now. I highly recommend him. Super great with communication, very attentive with my dog and super flexible. Biggie (my big boy) loves him and enjoys his time with him.”
“Caroline was AMAZING!! She was completely attentive to my cat’s needs and personality, and it was clear from the great vids and photos she sent that our kitty was very happy in her care. ☺️ I will definitely book with her again!”
“Unbelievably fantastic with my three ridiculous pets. She was super responsive, prompt, and helped take care of my little ones!!!! Even with complicated diet things and attitudes. I will absolutely be hiring her again, she is wonderful!!!!!!!!”
About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I was little! I have two years of experience as a pet caregiver and love it! I am comfortable taking care of dogs any size and age, running with dogs, or just playing with your dog. I will always make sure they are safe and loved! I am working part time, but every week is a little different! Some weekdays days I am available anytime after 1pm, but other times I am available the whole day. I am also very available on weekends! While I do not take dogs in my home, I will always ensure that your home and dog are very well taken care of! I always want pets to be comfortable in their own space, so I will do whatever is needed in order to make that happen.

Pet 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.
Thanks Haley for taking such good care of our cat while we were gone. Haley sent photos every day, when we got home, we saw she even washed our cats foot bowl, no litter left in the house. My daughter was so happy to see our cat picture every day, it made her day.
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

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,384 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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.
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.
