About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

About: Hi! I’m Dechen and my family and I have had 4 dogs, all of which I’ve helped take care of. I love dogs and taking long walks, so I’m looking to find positions that allows me to connect two things I love :) I also currently live with a 4 year old black lab named Olive. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your dog! I’m currently in PA school on clinical rotations and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue! If my schedule works with what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day! Through past babysitting experiences, I have gained the trust of many local families as well as families in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I have worked with children since I was 16, and have proven to be a responsible, trustworthy, and caring caregiver and person. I will uphold the same care with your dogs, and look forward to spending time with them! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I’ve been around animals since the beginning of my life. I grew up with cats & dogs, small & large. I started learning about dog training in 2020, I trained my first service dog in 2022. I’m always working to learn more & continuously improve my knowledge. Body language is a huge factor when it comes to taking care of dogs & making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I’m great with puppies as well & can help out with basic training. Any questions please feel free to ask! I work from home, so I start my day by taking my dog out to our apartment property’s dog park to use the bathroom, & get play time in, then I bring him in to feed him breakfast. If dog parks make you uncomfortable, I can always take your dog when the parks unoccupied. For meal time I make sure all dogs are separated from each others food. If your dog has trouble eating I always keep toppers on hand or different types of food such as, raw/cooked/air dried/& freeze dried. In the case there’s a medical emergency we have an emergency vet 15 mins down the road. If your dog needs to be crated when left unsupervised or for bedtime we have a crate sized for medium/large breeds. Animals are allowed on furniture & the living room is dog proof with lots of toys & beds, we keep the kitchen & bathroom off limits to prevent anyone from getting into something they’re not supposed to have. My dog has also been trained to be gentle with small animals as well to make sure everyone is comfortable & safe in their environment. If your dog eats too fast I offer slow feeders in my home.

“I connected last minute with a Gary after my scheduled petsitter cancelled the day before my vacation. It worked out great. Gary was engaged and provided pictures each day. He took great care of my cats and definitely won them over. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary as well as use his petsitting service again in the future. Thanks Gary!!!”

About: *MY AVAILABILITY HAS BEEN UPDATED THROUGH THE END OF 2026!* Hi there, my name is Jared and I currently reside in central MA, Worcester area. I have been working with dogs for 11 years now, starting off as a groomer at Petsmart which was a 9 year career, a full time dog walker for a private business for a year and now dog sitting/walking on my own time. My full time job is a singer/dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines and when I'm home in between contracts, I am looking to make extra cash by lending my services and experience to whatever you may need. Along with grooming and dog walking experience, I have also house sat for numerous dogs ranging from puppy to senior. I'm comfortable with handling medications or special treatments that your pup might need. I hope you consider me and I can't wait to meet you guys! When I am home in between contracts with my full time job as a cruise ship singer/dancer, I have complete open availability. My schedule is set now until the end of 2026! I am vigilant, reliable, trustworthy and confident. I will make sure that your pet isn't out of my sight while I am taking care of it and treat it like my own!

About: Growing up I always had a dog or two. I had worked at a dog daycare facility professionally for 8 years. During my time there, I've taken care of various puppies to their adulthood and senior dogs. Since the facility is cage-free, I dedicate myself to ensuring the dogs have fun, are safe, and love in our care. Currently, I have two medium and large dogs who constantly love to play, whether it is water play in the backyard, going on walks, frisbee or just relaxing in our backyard! I'm currently a nursing student on and a part time barista. I only work part-time for a few hours a day, usually morning until noon time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My two dogs are very friendly and social with other dogs. I have a two-level yard, a six-foot fence all around the yard, and a door your pups can easily access to potty or play. I can also provide in-house food unless your pups have allergies and need to improvise. My house is cage free but if you’d like your pet to be crate I can improvise that.

My schedule is very open at the moment so feel free to reach out to me! I can likely work whatever you need into my time. I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.

About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over five years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 4 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every furry friend in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. What makes me different is the balance of professional reliability and genuine care. I provide consistent communication with pet parents, lots of photo updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies/senior dogs/cat, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home/have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, making sure pets never feel lonely. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions, while also giving lots of playtime and affection. I always keep the home tidy and send updates with photos so owners feel reassured. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and part of my daily routine. That means regular walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and a cozy space to relax. I keep their routines consistent so they feel right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old, pet sitting neighbors dogs as well as training them. Many people celebrate how well I train dogs from any age, puppies to older dogs. Old dogs can learn new tricks and I have proven that. I worked at a vet clinic during my highschool years, I know how to take care of senior dogs. If anything were to happen to the dog during my visit I was trained how to deal with it. I am available to watch your pets Sunday-Monday. I cheer sly work two jobs, a pet hotel Wednesdays and Fridays. And I work at a ABA therapy clinic Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On sundays and Mondays I will be available all day for dog walking. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be available anytime after 4pm. I have two dog friendly pups at home so I can always bring them along to pet sit so your dog(s) can have friends to play with. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and can easily provide your pets with meals if needed.

The was our first time using Rover for drop in visits. Mariah exceeded our expectations in caring for our energetic, bossy corgi while we were away. In addition to feeding and walking for potty breaks, she took the time to play with him and send the best pictures I’ve ever received, even better than what I’ve taken myself! He was very well taken care of and we would love to have Mariah’s care again in the future if she is available and willing!

Madison is an excellent sitter! She was able to help us out last minute to check-in on our pups while we were out for the day. Our reactive dog was very comfortable with her which had kept us from hiring a sitter in the past. She provided pictures with a detailed update on the visit which was helped put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Madison and plan on hiring her again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Putnam

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Putnam is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 2,633 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Putnam. 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.

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 Putnam 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 Putnam 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 Putnam. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
