“Molly was such a great sitter for our 2 cats! She was on time (or early) every day, she spent time giving our cats some much needed attention while we were away and sent us photos of our cat daily. She was also very gracious to take care of a few little extras that we asked her to do. Molly is very responsible, reliable, kind and efficient. We are BEYOND satisfied with her service and would not hesitate to hire her again. She’s the best!”

About: (PLEASE review my photos and read through my profile to ensure I’m a good fit for your dog, we want to keep everyone safe!) I offer boarding and daycare with pick-up and drop-off services Monday through Friday. With over 15 years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I started by helping family and friends, then volunteered at a local shelter, and today, I work full-time as a dog walker and sitter — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m committed to going above and beyond to meet each dog’s individual needs, no matter how big or small. I want every dog in my care to live their best life! I know how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine and to never cut corners, especially when working on behavioral issues. I look forward to meeting your dog and supporting them on their journey! Safety and Fun Are My Priorities Over the years, I’ve learned a few key things that help keep the environment safe and fun for everyone: • I require a meet-and-greet before any boarding stay, which includes a day of daycare. This allows me to see if your dog is a good fit, gives them a chance to meet the other dogs, and helps them feel comfortable and familiar before their stay. • At mealtime, I feed all dogs individually to avoid food aggression and to ensure each dog stays on their specific diet. • For dogs requiring medication, I administer it privately and carefully, to ensure it’s properly taken and to prevent any accidental exposure to other dogs. • I do not allow toys, bones, or personal beds from home during a stay. This helps prevent any territorial behavior or conflicts. Rest assured, I have plenty of comfortable bedding, engaging toys, and safe chews to keep your pup happy and entertained while they’re here! I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my pack and help them thrive! Daily Schedule: • 6:30 a.m.: Wake-up/morning bathroom break • 8:00a.m -9:00a.m.: Breakfast •. 9:00 a.m.-Morning daycare pick-ups (Monday–Friday) • 10:30a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 12:00 p.m.: Lunch • 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Quiet time/rest • 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.: Afternoon playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Afternoon daycare drop-offs (Monday–Friday) • 6:00 p.m.: Evening bathroom break • 6:15 p.m.: Dinner • 7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Evening play session • 8:00 p.m.: Relaxation and quiet time • 9:30–10:00 p.m.: Final bathroom break and bedtime I have three separate fenced-in yards to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs, giving them plenty of space to run, play, and explore. There are multiple crates available for individual feeding or for dogs who might be a little too curious and like to explore things they shouldn’t. I also have my yard treated for ticks and mosquitoes every month to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. And that’s just the beginning! I provide a wide variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. We do sensory games, have food puzzles to challenge their minds, and even offer quiet, cozy spots for rest and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to play, learn, or just lounge in the sun, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy!
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”

Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Scituate
Giseli is so easy to work with and very thoughtful about communication and her care of Zuli. My dog is quite the playful/spunky one - and she enjoys his antics. I have been happy to be able to schedule with her both last minute and a few weeks out. I highly recommend Giseli for your pet care!
Madison was wonderful with my cat! Cabot can be quite the hider, but she managed to lure him out and give him lots of love and pets. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and kept me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and attentive sitter!
Stephen is fantastic! He helped me out very last minute, I appreciate that so much. He listened very closely to my instructions over the phone, Rover gives a great option to call when the appointment is booked. I didn't have time to meet him in person. My 2 cats were taken care of very nicely. There were absolutely no issues, just seamless service.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
