About: Hi! I've had two dogs in my lifetime, and have experience at a dog day care training facility for 2+ years. I have experience in walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work part time in the mornings, but I am available any time in the early afternoons and evenings. If needed in the morning, let me know and we can work something out! My knowledge and constant attention to each individual pet's needs is crucial to proper care. Whether it be play, feeding or simply being there to make them comfortable.
About: Hi! I am a special education teacher who owns a friendly Bichon-Poo named Henry who gets along well with other dogs. I would love to host your dog in our home during your next vacation. Your dog or puppy would receive 24 hour care & love. We have a very large fenced in yard & a comfortable, dog friendly house. I am available on weekends (Fridays after 3:30 only), all summer, & most school vacations. I can even come to your home if you prefer. I'd love to hear from you!
About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for 5+ years! I’m a teacher, so I’m away during the day, but my husband works from home full-time. I also have grooming experience and know all kinds of dog behaviors. Our dog is friendly but has high anxiety, so we require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare. Walks don’t need one. We treat every pup like family! I am a teacher and not around during the day but my fiance works from home FT! Not only do you have one person caring for your dog, but TWO! There is a lot of yard space right behind my apartment. I care for your animals as I care for my own, maybe will sometimes spoil them too!
About: I have had my own dogs ranging from Yorkies to Huskies and everything in between for the last 12 years. Hosting dogs have been one of my greatest joys. Special skills in doggy CPR, and experience in medicating dogs when needed. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home as well when needed. I am available everyday of the week, and would just need 24 hours to do any pick up or drop off. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own to keep your pup company, and have a crate available if needed for them to have a comfortable place to stay.
“Valleri was great! She was responsive, attentive to our instructions and needs, kind, and sent cute pictures of our cats while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and use her help again in the future.”
About: I have watched dogs all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was 16 for neighbors, friends, and family. I have fed pets, taken pets for walks, and hung with them. I do work full time but I’m around weekends, week nights, Thursdays, and Tuesday mornings. I have two dogs myself so I know how to manage time. I can crate your dog, make sure they are in a comfortable environment, make a close relationship with our dog and have no danger around them.
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs over the years and i have my own dog as well. I love them and i’ll take care of them like they are mine 💖 I work from home so i’ll be here to incorporate whatever schedule your dog may have. How many walks and feeds you would like i can provide that. I live in an apartment but i have a park near me where i can take your dog for a walk. I can also take the dog to a dog a park if you prefer. I have a dog in the house but she is small and very friendly with other dogs.
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 9 month old Golden Retriever. Through raising and training him, I’ve gained experience with puppy routines, leash walking, feeding schedules, crate training, potty training, and handling high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a young Golden Retriever of my own. My schedule allows me flexibility for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your fur babies throughout the week. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, especially someone new. I’m very attentive, patient, caring, and I always want all pets to feel comfortable and loved while in my care. Raising my Golden Retriever has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm and positive environment for dogs. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a family dog starting when I was 10 years old, which gave me years of experience caring for and spending time with dogs. Later, I had my own dog for 12 wonderful years. He was a huge part of my life, and caring for him taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, consistency, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m excited to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away! I work overnight shifts so I’m generally available during the daytime for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can be flexible with scheduling and will work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and play safely. I currently have no pets so they will get all the attention they deserve.
About: I’ve owned three dogs of different breeds and sizes. I have taken care of other people’s dogs at various points since I was 12 and I enjoyed it. I’m currently working part-time so I have ample time to care for other dogs in the south shore area I have lots of availability during the weekends. I now live in the Hough’s Neck neighborhood of Quincy. I currently live in a house with a pet rabbit. I do not have a dog of my own at the present time. I take care of other dogs as if they were my own and follow owners instructions to a T.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies through seniors and small to large dogs. I have a lot of flexibility with my time and can be available as needed. Happy to take dogs on walks or care in their own home. I am a stay at home parent, so I have a lot of flexibility for times I'm able to help out. I'm happy to work around whatever your schedule and needs are. I am very good at reading a dogs mood and cues for their needs. I can tailor my care for the needs of each individual pet. Whether they are more comfortable being inside their own home, like to play in the backyard, or go for walks in the park, I can guarantee they will have a great time and feel safe.

“Elena is AMAZING!!! She is so sweet, kind, caring, patient and very accommodating. Our dog, Sydney is very shy and nervous around people, but she quickly warmed up to her. Elena took great care of Sydney. She gave detailed feedback, updates and pictures of Sydney during each visit. I will definitely rebook with Elena again. I highly recommend and trust her! Elena is the BEST!!!”

We’ve used Jacqueline for weekly visits for about 18 months and she has exceeded all expectations. She’s prompt, great communication both from our home and between visits, and she genuinely cares about animals. We have an English bulldog that requires lots of attention and Jaqueline delivers!! Absolutely would recommend Jacqueline for your pet care.
I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Nicole was a great sport in helping me train Ellis to strangers and walk around the block, in the cold no less! She was wonderfully kind to Ellis, very soothing in tone and mannerisms, and by the end of our little session, Ellis was perfectly comfortable with her! Would trust her with Ellis again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rockland is $26 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.

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 Rockland 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. 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.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
