About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life and have taken care of other family members/neighbors dogs and cats while they are away. I love to go for walks and always enjoy taking a dog along with me! I work full time during the week 830-430 with a lunch break which I could run out if needed. I am always free on the weekends, and I usually do spend time on the weekends going on long walks. I am not necessarily looking to take dogs to my home but I am capable of caring for them in your home like you normally do.
“Sarah was punctual and took wonderful care of Penny and Pepper (aka pippa). She put my mind at ease with regular updates and snapshots which I loved! I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again.”
“Cecilia comes highly recommended as a Cat Sitter. I returned from an extra long stay and she was able to accommodate my request. the cat and setting were all in perfect condition. I appreciated her professionalism”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11 years old. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. This includes dogs, cats, and birds! I have experience raising 3 Brittanys throughout my life as well as 1 pig. I have administered medications to multiple pets throughout my time pet sitting. I am available Monday through Thursdays. Whether you need early mornings or late night walks or visits. I am currently dog walking/ pet sitting on the side right now. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, monitor for any signs of illness or stress, and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care and walked dogs since I was around 12 and I have also taken on foster kittens since I was 10. I have also had neighbors rely on me to check and take their pets out when away on vacations. I currently work part time at PetSmart taking care of all the animals within the building including fish, reptiles, birds and small animals while also interacting with dogs daily and even assisting in practicing basic training skills. (Sit, stay, down) I can crate dogs if necessary as well as work on basic training skills for younger dogs. I can also walk dogs around your neighborhood or take them on a walk throughout the trails around Barnstable.
“Alyne has been a huge help with our pup on a weekly basis this summer. She’s always arrived when she said she would, and provides a complete report card at the end of her visit. I can tell by the pictures that our pup loves her visits! For a few weeks our lab was on restricted activity which she handled very well (a hard task with an energetic lab). Great communication as well. Highly recommend!”
“Lily took very good care of our very active black lab, Poppy. She was flexible, very responsive and gave us several updates a day and cute pics of their activities. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m a professional veterinary technician with four years of hands-on clinical experience. My background means I bring a much higher level of care, safety, and medical knowledge to your pets than your average pet sitter. I am currently a stay at home mom once my kiddos go off to school for the day. I’ll have late mornings into afternoons for your pet needs. I will not be doing any pet sitting at my own home, but if there ever was an opportunity where it could work out and was needed I do have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly dog
“Kelly was great with our dog who is a rescue and can be a bit reserved meeting new people. She came on short notice and was great with Otis putting him at ease right away. She is very professional and her experience with animals and dogs of all sorts shows. We would definitely hire Kelly again, this was my first time using Rover and I’ll definitely use Kelly again! Very impressed and happy with her service, highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and career. I currently manage a veterinary hospital and have experience working alongside both general practice and emergency veterinary teams. As a pet parent to a nervous, reactive dog, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires a little extra patience and understanding, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. Currently working Full time and looking to do this as a side job. I would prefer dogs that are close to me to ensure I can do as many walks as possible. Working in the Vet Med field has taught me how incredibly important safety is. I follow the owner’s instructions to the tee and will put the pets safety as a top priority on all our walks.
About: Experience with senior dogs, difficult cats, and hyper young ones who need that special one on one attention.

I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs.

I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues.

I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Osterville
I highly recommend Kelly for cat sitting! She was punctual and kept a good routine going with our cat Blue during our absence. She kept us in the loop with lots of photos our cat during her visits. I could tell from Kelly’s photos with him that he was super appreciative of the company and interaction he got from her while we were away. When we returned we got a happy welcome from Blue and slipped right back into our routine with him.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
