About: Hi! I’m Melinda, a lifelong animal lover who knows how much our pups mean to us. 🐶💜 I’m dependable, patient, and love getting to know every dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, playtime, a drop-in visit, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. 🐾✨ I’m available for pet care on weekdays after 5:30 PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and loving companionship around your schedule. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stay in their familiar surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with respect, patience, and care.
About: I have lots of animals myself. 3 dogs, 4 outdoor rabbits and 3 guinea pigs.On the weekends I drag my family to go see puppies. I prefer dogs over most people. They make my heart happy. I’ve always had animals. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary. I would love to help you with your babies! I currently work as a hairstylist. However I’m a mother of two and it’s getting quite challenging to work as far as I do with my life being more in this direction. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary of my own so I don’t have to turn away any animal and can save them all. On the weekends I drag my family to see puppies. I would love to be able to cut down my full time job and get become more involved with pet walking/sitting. It will be good for the soul. I have lots of animals at home and small children so I probably wouldn’t watch anyone in my house right off the bat. But in their house I would love to cuddle, give treats, walk play and give all the love they need as if they were my own.
About: I studied in the Veterinary Assisting program at Nashoba Valley Technical High School for 4 years, and graduated in 2025. During that time, I passed the TVMA Veterinary Assistant Certification (CVA) test. During this time, I became proficient in all of the skills a Veterinary Assistant would be expected to perform, and knowledgeable on relevant topics. I was also the recipient of the Certificate of Merit Achievement for Nashoba Tech’s Veterinary Assisting program. I had an amazing dog of my own who I loved and took care of for 10 years. I have also owned a guinea pig and taken care of numerous family cats throughout my life. I have been taking care of other people’s animals since I was 10 years old, watching the pets of family and friends. I am familiar with the care of all sorts of animals, not just limited to typical household pets. I have a lot of experience with animals with unique needs. My skills include fear free restraint and general handling, wound treatment, administration of medication, providing proper enrichment, and use of CPR. Here are some of the relevant certifications I have received: RESCUE- Veterinary Infection Preventionist Certification (September 2022) OSHA 10-hour Veterinary Certification (June 2022) Fear Free Certification (February 2023) Some of my other achievements: Recipient of the 2023 Massachusetts Student Achievement Award Member of the National Honors Society and National Technical Honors Society Selected attendee of 2023 MIAA Student Leadership Conference If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am working part time as a doordasher, babysitter, and house cleaner, and my schedule is very adaptable. I prefer to schedule things at least two weeks in advance to keep a neat schedule. The farther out you book with me the more likely I am to be available, but I will still try my best to fit things in if they’re last minute. I take special care to ensure the animals I care for feel comfortable around me and are comfortable in their own homes. I always make sure to clean up after the animals and myself.
“Mikayla was a champ today. She got both of my dogs to go outside where one of them is nervous around new people. She followed instructions well and did a great job. Very good communicator and folk lots of pics. Thanks so much!!!”
About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a child, and for the past 7 years, I’ve been independently caring for them. From big to small breeds, I’ve handled a variety of dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve provided drop-ins for bathroom breaks, feeding (including dogs with allergies or specific requirements), and I’m always excited to take dogs for walks and hikes. I’m experienced with both skittish pups and energetic jumpers—jumping doesn’t bother me, and I know how to manage it safely. I’ve also cared for dogs with basic health needs like administering pills or shots. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly miss the companionship and bond that comes with spending time with a furry friend. I currently work 5 days remote, so I am open to walks during my lunch break or keeping your puppy company in your home while I work. I work between the hours of 8am-1pm, but I can be flexible based on your and your puppy’s need! I believe in the importance of meeting both the family and the dogs prior to sitting. This helps establish trust and ensures a smooth transition for both the pet and the family. I understand that it can be stressful for a dog to have a stranger in their home, so I like to take the time beforehand and allow the dog to become familiar with me.
“Alyssa was right on time, communicative and professional! My cat requires heart medication at specific times and she was able to give it to her with ease! She is the best!”
“As usual, Ria does an amazing job watching our cat Lily. She’s incredibly dependable, diligent, and detailed in her care and updates. We are lucky to have her watching our fur baby!”
“Sarah-Jane is a respectful and responsible sitter. I had an impromptu engagement and she was very helpful at such short notice. She took the time to meet YaYa first before the sitting and to get a little familiar with the routine. My dog YaYa loves her and looks forward to the next time Sarah-Jane can watch her. Sarah-Jane also left me a very nice thank you card which was very unexpected.”
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 9 and truly can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with a black lab, Zida, and my family also has Riley, who is now 16 and has given me lots of experience caring for senior dogs and their changing needs. I adopted my own dog, Sarabi, as a puppy almost 6 years ago and spent a lot of time training her and helping her work through shyness, anxiety, and separation anxiety. She’s now my best buddy! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from puppies and high-energy dogs to anxious dogs who need extra patience and seniors who need a little more care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, crates, oral medications, special diets, walks, basic training routines, and lots of playtime and cuddles. The biggest thing for me is meeting each dog where they are. When I meet a new dog, I let them approach me on their terms and never force an interaction. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need time and space, and I’m completely comfortable with both. I want your dog to feel safe and comfortable with me while you’re away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your dog throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m happy to work remotely from your home, so your dog can have company, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends depending on my schedule. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always follow your routines and instructions while in your home. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and boundaries and will never force interaction with a dog who needs time or space. I’m comfortable with crates, feeding schedules, oral medications, special diets, and dogs with anxiety or other individual needs. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Callie is a pro. On time for the date, excellent communication before, during and after the visit. This was the first time our 9 month old pup was left with a sitter and it could not have gone better. Thank you, Callie!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
About: Hello! I am a stay at home mom with a 1 year old and a 3 year old who is looking to help out dog sitting while I pause my nursing career. I have a 1.5 year old yellow lab named Callie who is a sweetheart and loves to play with other dogs. Both kids are very respectful of dogs since they both have a lot of experience with ours. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat-happy to give references and chat! The first half of my photos are all dogs I dogsat through Rover and some of my own dogs! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 1 and 3 year old so I have a lot of flexibility. We spend a lot of time outside which would include any dog we are sitting for. We have a large yard and our home is dog proof (mainly due to having a baby hah). I treat every dog like it’s part of the family-he or she is allowed to come on the bed, couch, etc.
“Roxanne came and checked in on my cat everyday for 2 weeks. I got pictures and videos and felt so happy knowing my baby was being well taken care of. Usually my cat has separation anxiety but when I came back she seemed so happy and healthy!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Pepperell is $25

Shyla was amazing! She was great with Theo and took care of him like she was her own. Absolutely will be working with her again in the future. Very caring, timely, great pictures which really helped ease my daughter’s anxiety about leaving out pup. Thank you again!
Mickey is the absolute best with our pup! We have a 6 year old goldendoodle who has come a long way from being fear reactive, but is still a selctive guy. Mickey got him to do tricks and want to play fetch within his first 10 minutes, and is so good at meeting him where he’s at! We have Mickey come 5 days a week and now if I say his name around my dog he gets so excited he looks out the window wagging his tail and waiting! Mickey also writes the most adorable and funny report cards after each visit, photos included - we are so lucky to have found him, he’s a huge help! Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pepperell is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,301 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pepperell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
