About: I have two dogs of my own and trained them as puppies. I am the neighborhood dog walker/sitter and am reliable. I can be counted on to give your dog all the love and care for them. I work full time from home about one day a week and the rest im in the office, so dog sitting would have to be from friday-sunday. I have a large grass area outside my apartment building. Walks will be frequent and lots of play time and cuddles inside! Medium size apartment for them to play and be comfortable in.

About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.

Once again Kristine has been an outstanding cat sitter for us. We have had her watch our one cat before and recently got a sibling for him. She has magical powers and helped foster positive interactions with them both while we were away. She always takes great care of our cats and is such a great person to have come into your home to help out. Thanks Kristine for continuing to take great care of our cats time and time again. She goes the extra mile and I always feel relaxed knowing they are in great hands while we are away. She communicates after each visit, lets us know the details and is a joy to partner with. Thanks again Kristine!

About: I've been a dog owner for the past 13 years and have also cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. Through those experiences, I've become comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. To me, dogs aren't just pets they're family members. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, which is why I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a former Division I athlete, I'm active, dependable, and love being outdoors, making me a great match for dogs who enjoy exercise and adventure. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, and I'm happy to adjust to their individual needs and personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll always provide plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog has a great time and gets the same love and attention they're used to at home! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and exercise they need. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I'm committed to keeping pet parents updated and ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency while you're away. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family members, so I'll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Growing up with dogs, it’s always been second nature for me to nurture and care for them. I always make sure to put their needs first, and ensure their health, happiness, and safety! I work part-time Monday & Tuesdays, so I’m typically free Wednesday through Sunday. I also start late so I’m always available for an early morning walk. Currently, I can host 1 dog in my home. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a dog run right on the premises so they can relax indoors and run around right outside our building!

Michelle was amazing with my dog, Franklin! She gave me updated, sent photos, and followed all of my instructions - showing how much she cares about dogs, and making their owners feel at ease! My dog took to Michelle right away. She is a true animal lover. Frankie can't wait to have her back again!

Karen is the absolute best. She has been looking after my two cats for a couple of years now. She goes above and beyond every time. My cats both love her - even the super skittish one who doesn’t trust many people. I definitely recommend Karen. She is professional, friendly, and trustworthy. We are lucky to have found her.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last 6 years. I am extremely passionate about caring for dogs. I genuinely love spending time and ensuring their well being. I have had my own dog the last 6 years, 2 different dogs, and friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they are out of town. I'm currently looking for part time work to go hand in hand with part time dog walking and care. Right now my schedule is flexible. I will follow all instructions that the owner has for their dog. My dog at home is very well behaved and doesn't get into anything so we trust to walk around our apartment. I have also experience in dogs with crates.

Sarah looked after my three cats at very short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly and she was wonderful! Incredibly diligent and kind, she went out of her way to make sure my three fur babies were taken care of, even making sure Gertie (who loves her food!) didn’t steal the other two’s food. She checked in with me twice a day with photos and updates, which gave me huge piece of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough! Will be booking her again, that’s for sure!

About: Because I’m currently on sabbatical, I’m home much more than the average sitter. This allows me to offer consistent companionship, careful supervision, and plenty of one-on-one time. I’m especially skilled at providing a calm, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. I’m also very attentive to routines. I take cues from each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’m excellent at reading subtle body language—something I’ve learned from years of fostering and caring for more sensitive or shy cats. I use positive, gentle reinforcement and always prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being. Additionally, I’m a great communicator. I provide regular photo updates, respond quickly throughout the day, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to create a nurturing, cozy, and safe experience that feels like a second home. I’m currently on sabbatical after completing 10 years with my company, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, so it fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I love starting my mornings with a peaceful walk through the large park near my apartment, and I often take a second mid-day walk to stay active. If your pet loves exploring or needs extra exercise, they’re more than welcome to join me! I also have a car, so I’m able to transport pets safely if they need to visit a vet, try a different park, or simply enjoy a change of scenery. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m intentional about creating a calm, cozy environment and making sure each pet feels included in my everyday routine. I provide a warm, calm, and nurturing home where pets can feel safe and loved. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with a pet-friendly setup—cats are welcome on all furniture, and I have scratchers, toys, and comfy lounging spots throughout the space. My balcony is fully netted for safety, and I’m only a short walk from a large park, which is perfect for fresh air and enrichment. I currently have one sweet 11-year-old cat who is gentle and used to having other animals around. I’ve cared for her since she was 3 months old, and I also have experience fostering animals—including caring for kittens as young as 4 weeks old—so I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. My care style is very warm and hands-on: lots of snuggles, couch time, play sessions, and following the routines that make your pet feel at home. I’m attentive to their body language and habits and always prioritize their comfort and emotional well-being. Safety is a top priority. I keep doors secure, monitor interactions carefully, and have an apartment camera that allows me to check in on pets if I step out briefly. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment and am mindful about introductions and transitions. For trust and communication, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and relaxed. I’m very responsive throughout the day—my only downtime is between 10pm–7am, but otherwise you can expect quick replies. My goal is to create a loving, stable, and safe home where your pet feels truly cared for. If you have any specific routines, accommodations, or preferences, I’m more than happy to follow them closely.

She was amazing! She did everything exactly as requested, including changing the pee pads, refreshing Oreo’s water, cleaning up after him, giving him his lick mat, and spending time playing with him. She also kept everything clean and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Oreo, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Pelham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Pelham on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 25,807 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pelham. 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 Pelham 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.

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 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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Pelham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pelham. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
