“Paws and crab were well cared for. Suzie had a lot of meds to feed our senior cat. I had wonderful pictures of them playing. This was a twice a day commitment so I was very happy with Suzies time and care. I would highly recommend her.”
“Catherine was amazing! On the meet and greet, my cats who are usually a bit shy went right up to her and wanted attention. Her check-ins were on time and she sent photos every time. I will definitely have her again.”
“Tom helped us out big time once again and had great feedback on each drop-in visit. He’s been awesome each time and very reliable and caring. Thank you for being able to come through on really short notice.”
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’ve cared for rabbits both in shelters and in my own home. I also have experience caring for a large, anxious dogs as well as a calm, elderly dog. I’m currently seeking a full-time position in veterinary care, and pet sitting fits my schedule well while allowing me to continue gaining hands-on animal experience. I have fenced areas, and anything that isn’t fenced is kept in x-pens. I’m experienced with handling both large, energetic animals and small, calm ones.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.

This was our second time hiring Carly and we couldn’t be happier with her! She took such great care of our two girls while we were away for one week. It gave us such peace of mind to be able to keep our cats home instead of boarding them, and to have someone like Carly to keep an eye on the house and report anything unusual. I’m sure our cats are looking forward to seeing her again n
Rosemary watched our cat, Izzie while we were away for 4 days. She was very attentive and communicative with us, spoiled Izzie with lots of treats, brushes and playtime, and even helped us out by bringing in a package. We came home to a happy cat and a clean house. Would absolutely recommend!
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.

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.

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.
