I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She recently watched my cat, Lea, and did a great job. She was patient with my cat’s “ways” (sorry she’s not the most sociable!), but Caroline was on top with the visit cards and pictures, and very reliable. It's such a relief to find a sitter you can trust. Thank you so much, Caroline, for taking such wonderful care of my baby Lea!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently care for three dogs and four cats at home which means I’m pretty used to all kinds of personalities, from the shy ones to the goofy zoomy ones. I bring patience, reliable care, and a calm presence to every visit! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and weekdays . When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines.

About: I love just animals! Growing up we always had pets ranging from turtles, cats, fish, dogs, birds and horses. Animals have always been part of my life, and I've learned so much from them. I had a beloved mini-dachshund for six years and was always a bit of a worry wort when someone watched my pup. I wanted to know she was always safe, happy and well-cared for. So, after being a reliable dog-sitter for a fellow teacher for several years I realized providing a service like this would allow me to reconnect with animals while earning extra money and also serving families with excellent care for their furry family members. I love walking, playing and snuggling with dogs, cats and just about any critter of all sizes and ages, and I would love to make your pet be as safe, happy and well-cared for as I expected mine to be. I work as a full time teacher so during the school year I would serve best as a weekend sitter. However, I am available during the week as well for most holidays and most of the summer. I have a one bedroom apartment which helps me to know where and what your pet is doing almost all of the time. I live in an area that has lots of nature intact and is very dog friendly. There are two dog friendly “tennis courts” available to allow young and high energy dogs run off leash to catch a ball, frisbee or stick or play with other dog friendly pups. For house sitting stays, I am flexible and can accommodate most anyone’s unique set up and pet needs. One thing to note is that I am currently in the process of adopting my six year old niece who would accompany me for house sitting.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I was #1 dog sitter for about 5-6 neighbors through high school and college. I’ve taken care of many other dogs and cats as well. As a current medical student, I wish I could have my own dog but the time and finances won’t allow until I graduate. So for now, I can help take care of your pets and you can help me get my snuggle fix in! As a medical student, my schedule is often changing. I do have most evenings and weekends free for studying and I could always use a study partner or walk break! School is priority - but I will do my best to work with your schedule as well as my class schedule! I do currently live in an apartment, so boarding pets in my home is not a great option. I’ve stayed at very many homes to care for pets. Your pets health and safety will be my main concern - and I will always respect your home as well!
About: Hi! My name is Julia Crowe, and I’m a huge animal lover! 🐾❤️ I have five dogs of my own: two Shih-Poos, one Havanese, and two Great Pyrenees, so I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I’ve been dog-sitting since I was 15 years old, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy.

I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

About: As much of a people person I am, I’d consider my self equally as much of a pet person! I love to engage with animals and learn about their personalities and engage with them in whatever environment keeps them happy and healthy! I work full-time, 4 days/week with 1 off day during the week. My evenings and weekends are pretty flexible and I’m willing to work with whatever accommodations that may be required of me. Due to the lack of roaming space in my apartment, I don’t usually host pets in my home plus I have my own pup to tend to! 😌

I communicate clearly and consistently, keeping you updated so you can relax while you’re away. My approach is gentle, attentive, and tailored to each dog’s routine and emotional needs. With references available and years of experience, I offer loving care when you can’t be there—because your dog deserves to feel at home, even when you’re not. I currently work part time and do online school part time. I am a hospitality coordinator at a business and then am working towards my ultrasound tech degree. I am gone for about 6 hours a day for work and then can spend the rest of the time at your house or dropping by to care for the dogs. I love movies and being a home body, so it is the perfect fit for me! I do not care for pets in my own home. I am available for overnight sitting in your home or drop in care. I care about safety and making sure it is secure and locked each time I leave. I wash the sheets if I stay overnight and make it seem like I was never there except for well-cared for pets.

We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! Communication is always clear and reassuring, which makes me feel at ease leaving my dog in her care! Our dog has several medical problems that Gracie handles him no problem including giving him medications and monitoring his breathing on hot days. She sends pics and updates which I always appreciate. Highly recommend Gracie if you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!

Dana is fantastic! She stopped by to let Albus and Tom out to potty, and everything went so smoothly. Tom can be a little shy and anxious with new people, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed right up to her. Both boys were well-cared for and happy after her visit. Highly recommend!

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 Pelham 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.

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 .
