“Hayley took excellent care of our cat Lily! She is an excellent communicator and helped us to have a worry-free vacation. She is kind and caring and sent lots of great pictures! We highly recommend Hayley!”
“Alyssa has been taking care of our now 85lbs BIG BOY since Jan 2024 (when Bishop, our pitbull, was only 3 months old) Throughout the year, she has proven to be reliable, punctual, respectful, and understanding. Most importantly, Bishop loves seeing her and going on walks with her! Not only does she takes Bishop out for walks, but she take notice of things that could be of concern and address it for his safety, such as walking him on grass during the hot summer. She goes above and beyond and we couldn’t ask for a better walker! We appreciate all that she do!”
“Jorden was great asset to us by agreeing to drop in on our dogs at the very last minute of a holiday weekend. Our dogs are mixed rescues and very odd - but Jorden showed up and even stayed a bit longer than requested to see if the dogs would potty, even though they decided not to- Jorden tried and that speaks volumes to us. We were already comfortable with Jorden around our pets and home from all the previous feedback on Rover. Jorden gets accurate reviews and with our experience would say never hesitate to book Jorden as your sitter.”

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 7 years old at my grandmothers dog grooming salon. I’ve always loved both dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt a connection to them. I have a 12 year old dog and just recently lost my 18 year old cat. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily. On days that I’m working I have plenty of time to walk my dog and feed her in the morning, and once I get out of work i have just enough time to do a walk and feed her! On my days off I tend to spend as much time with my pets as possible, wether is playing, walking, or cuddling! I care for my pets at home by spending quality time with them. My dog loves walks, playing with toys, doing tricks for treats, and cuddling. My cat enjoys lounging with me some days, but he isn’t very playful.
“Callie was so accommodating for our last-minute request! She and her girls were so sweet - successfully winning over our shy and sometimes-reclusive kitties. Definitely felt at ease knowing they were being cared for while we were away”
“Emily is great with my cat ! I was out of town for a few days and Emily checked in and set up the food and water while I was away. The pictures Emily sent were awesome to have a visual update of whet my cat was doing.”
About: Ive lived in NH all my life. I’m married and we have a three year old son. I decided to take on this new journey because I love dogs and animals in general. I have 2 wonderful dogs who are my babies and I love them very much. I’m flexible and reliable. I just enjoy being with dogs. Dogs are such loyal companions always there for you through everything. My favorite part of my day is coming home to see my dogs, tails wagging. I promise your pooch won’t be disappointed in our visits, I look forward to visits etc! Looking to take on as many clients as I can. Afternoons and evenings work best for myself and my family. I would be willing to do some occasional night sitting, weekend sitting if it works with my schedule. I would follow owners instructions and routines for each pet. Assuring that each pet is properly cared for. I look forward to taking care of your pets!
“Sarah-Jane was a great care giver for our cat, Loki. She made sure Loki was fed, brushed, played with and cared for during our absence. Sarah-Jane precisely followed my care instructions and left our house key where we asked her to leave it. I highly recommend her for your pet’s needs.”
About: My name is Shaina. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! My focus is mainly dog walks/runs as I am a full time college student. I am also available for babysitting and occasional boarding. I live in a single family home with lots of land to run and play. I have a golden lab of my own that is extremely friendly with other dogs to keep yours company! If your pup doesn’t do well with other dogs, accommodations can be made so my dog and yours do not cross paths! Any dog i’ve met I have loved like my own! With all my skills I am able to provide a supervised, safe, and a stable environment for your pups!
“Shea & Damien were extremely attentive to the dogs needs & very accommodating to our schedule last minute! The dogs loved them! They noticed things we didn’t mention and did everything needed to keep dogs comfortable & more! Great communication and up front with what they could do with schedule. Highly recommend these two! We are so grateful for their help! We will definitely use again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Peterborough is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $30 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 1,036 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peterborough. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peterborough. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
