“Karen did a great job and my little kitties loved her, each being playful. She was patient with my Sophia who is a picky princess. Karen also helped with shutting a forgotten window and cleaning up an unfortunate hairball. I look forward to having her care for my girls again.”

About: Soothing background sounds of classical music, natural light pouring in from the windows, cozy nook beds to curl up, and full attention provided throughout the day and night as needed. Creating a relaxing environment for a dog to feel safe when away from home is exactly what I strive to provide. I value offering predictable routines to significantly reduce anxiety, play time outdoors, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and meeting your dog's needs in ways that are specific to them. As someone who has provided pet care throughout the last twenty years, and having two dogs myself for the last 5 years, I understand how valuable it is to find a sitter that is reliable, trustworthy, and observant. I will create a plan of care specific to your dog in order to recreate the consistencies of their home life and ensure a comfortable experience. I am a stay at home parent with minimal commitments outside of the home, which makes my schedule very flexible and accommodating. I do have some weekday morning appointments that may require me to leave the house for 1-2 hours. If boarding, I am available for last minute bookings. For dog walking or services that require being out of the home, I will need a few day notice to ensure I am not busy with other clients as I plan to only work with one family at a time. Please note that I have two older children that may accompany me for dog walking and drop in visits, but I will personally be responsible for handling all pet care. I have two friendly dogs who are both crate trained but prefer to roam freely. I keep a gate on the staircase to keep pets on the main level. This is for safety to ensure they are better supervised and not left unattended. My main level is very clear and clutter free. I have a gate on the back deck so the dogs can lounge safely outdoors. I do not have a fenced yard as our dogs are trained to stay within the boundary of the back yard, but I do have a dog play pen attached to the deck in the yard for potty breaks (this was set up to house train my puppy in a more confined area outside). Please let me know preference for your dog being outside as I am happy to take them out on a leash or let them in the play pen area if they aren't jumpers.
“Liz was great, as usual! She has watched our cats several times and is always very professional. Our cats have come to be very relaxed when she is around and even our big boy, Tucker, is ok with her cleaning his ears and giving him his thyroid meds 😺. Highly recommended her if you are looking for someone to watch your cats.”


About: Looking for someone to care for your pets as well as you do? I have 15 years of experience caring for animals ranging all different sizes, ages, and health needs. I’ve had animals my whole life from dogs, cats, horses, and exotic birds. I am the designated care giver for my friends’ and family’s pets and wanted to give Rover a try to put those skills to more use. I currently have two cats of my own and will not be accepting to board animals in my home at this time, but am more than happy to care for your furry or feathered friends in their current space and make sure they’re exercised, fed, and not missing you too much while you’re away! My rates are all negotiable, please connect with me directly for pricing questions. I look forward to befriending and caring for your pets and keeping them safe for your return home whether it be from a vacation or just from work. I currently work remotely part time during the week and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to drive and visit your pets to care for them. Drop in visits typically take about 15-20 minutes, walking or exercising can be 1-2 hours, and sitting can be booked for multiple days. Since I will be only caring for pets in their own homes, my care is fully personalized and customizable to meet your specific needs and requirements. I am comfortable giving medication to pets and am experienced with reactive and emotionally triggered animals.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I provide more than just walks—I offer companionship, consistency, and peace of mind. Whether your dog is high-energy, a shy senior, or somewhere in between, I tailor every walk or visit to fit their unique needs. Let’s give your dog something to wag about! I work from home with a flexible schedule, enabling me to be on demand for your pets needs. Whether for walks or drop ins, we can arrange to fit your dogs personal needs. With mountains of experience caring for three of my own, my home is filled with comfort and care items that will help your pup feel right at home.
“Thank you for being so reliable and kind to the dogs. I also appreciate the communication and coming before hand to get the lay of the land and to meet the dogs as well. Looking forward to continuing to work with you.”

About: I have worked in the pet care industry, specializing in dogs, since 2013. From daycare and boarding to training and behavior modification- from grooming to veterinary care- I have seen it all and worked closely with a wide variety of experts in these fields. For several years, I even owned and ran my own in-home dog training business before deciding to move to the veterinary side- utilizing my years of experience to now help care for the health of people’s beloved dogs- and cats- in as fear free a way as possible. I am very excited to expand to offer walks and nail trims in this format and for the new relationships I will build! I am currently working part-time so I will be looking to fit in walks between my shifts. Currently I am only looking to book walks, drop ins and nail trims. It is always my goal to treat each dog and cat as if it is my own. I focus on being a strong, calm leader for them and providing them with the respect each animal deserves.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was four years old. I have been walking, feeding, playing with, and loving dogs for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs, and each of them were adopted when they were puppies. My first dog, Otis, lived to almost seventeen, so I have much experience caring for puppies and senior dogs. I currently work part time on the weekends, and I will be interning for my master’s degree on Fridays. I will be able to take care of your pets Monday through Thursday. If I am watching your pets at your home, I will be able to feed them, play with them, take them outside, and take them for walks. I also have experience giving dogs and cats oral medicine if that is needed.
“Jodie was amazing. Ziggy loved her (he doesn't like anyone); she was dependable, cleaned his box, gave him fresh water and food, and did not leave a spot of a mess. I highly recommend Jodie and plan to use her in the future. Thanks, Jodie!!”


About: I grew up with cats and dogs and now own both as an adult. I have trained my dogs and built trust with them, and I have built a loving relationship with my cats. I trained my puppy when we got him and helped teach our rescue dog manners and trust. My cat trusts me and has learned to come when called, and my new rescue cat already follows me around! I am a part time worker so I have plenty of time on the weekends! I will work with you on my scheduled days to try to make things work for the both of us! I care for my pets with lots of love and respect. My cats get the best food I can afford and lots of pets throught the day. My dogs are walked often and fed morning and night. They enjoy outside time and staying close by.
“Minnie was great, she came to meet the pups beforehand for an introduction and to get an idea of the pups routine. She was prompt and on time for the scheduled times and interacted great with the pups!”


About: Hi, I am Brianna. I am a dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are my entire world. Growing up I have always taken care of other peoples dogs since the age of 14. I treat everyones dog as if it were my own and give it all of the love and care it needs/ deserves! I am available to watch pets any day of the week, and am more than willing to watch/ play with your pet! I am a very outgoing, and active girl who would love to spend time with dogs and be able to give them the best time while their owner is away. Keeping them safe and happy is my number one priority and something I love to do. I have a lot of flexibility and time available too.
“Brittany was great with my dog ! My senior lady isn’t the best with strangers but seemed to get along with Brittany. We got lots of pictures and we know our girl was well taken care of.”

Jodie is awesome! She sent pictures of my kitties and updated me with how they were doing each day. One of my cats takes medication twice a day and she made me feel comfortable while away. I knew she sat with him and was patient and made sure he was taken care of.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,912 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sandown. 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 Sandown 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
