“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 have worked at 3 animal shelters and 3 zoos I can handle any critter you throw at me. I have experience with big, small, young and old. I am comfortable with administering medication and handling behavior needs. I have also worked extensively with birds. I am a new mom so I am flexible on weekdays and weekends on a part time basis. More flexible if I am allowed to bring my daughter I have worked in every environment with many different care needs. I can accommodate to any service you need regarding your pet in your home
“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.”
“Jaimie was absolutely fantastic with Madeline! She took care of everything from feedings and litter maintenance to cleaning up unexpected hairball messes. She gave Madeline so much love and sent the best photo updates throughout the stay. I’m so grateful for her attentive care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet, reliable pet sitter!”
About: I am a lifetime dog lover and would love to care for your dog like they were my own. My last dog, Finn, gained his angel wings in June and was with me for 15 amazing years. I'd like to continue caring for other pups in his honor! I am also an approved foster for a local dog rescue, and have experience with puppies, mama dogs, and older dogs. I am very happy to care for older dogs as they hold a special place in my heart! If your dog boards with me, they will get tons of love, snuggles, exercise and walks, and have a safe place to be while you are away. My goal is to make my home their second favorite place to be :) I currently work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I do have two school aged children at home, so we have a very consistent daily and weekly routine. Until recently, we had a dog at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our days. We have a large back yard away from the road. It is not fenced in, but I will take your pet out on a leash for bathroom breaks, walking for exercise and some supervised playing! There will not be any outside time that is unsupervised. I am very familiar with crate trained dogs or with uncrated dogs as long as they are safe outside of the crate (as in they are old enough not to eat dangerous things etc). If you have a puppy that is not house trained yet, I request that they be in a crate for night time. Inside the home, they will have access only to the floor that I am on at the moment, so as to keep them safe and out of trouble! We have plenty of gates and other items to block off different parts of the house. Mostly they will just be hanging out with me! I also have an octagon style play pen for puppies.
About: Fun, loving, kind to dogs. Love to play with them, been dog walking when my family needs me to experience if dog pulls/starts to run Looking for part time, as long as I can bring my son on weekends it’ll be fine. Weekdays M-F 9am to 2pm availability. Thank you! Enter home through side door and make sure to greet pets before doing whatever is needed to be done. Make sure pets don’t escape. Thanks!
“So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!”
About: I had taken care of family members dogs and cats many times, and I love having animals around. I have two cats, but I am able to separate them in a different part of the house if needed. I currently am an online student for snhu, my major is digital marketing. So I am usually at home all day, and available to pet sit go on walks and whatever needs are necessary. I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood for walking so dogs will love that. I also am able to put my two cats in a separate part of the house if necessary.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and love being outside, so long walks and playtime are no problem. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work at a restaurant Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays from 10am–10pm. On my days off I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away I have a fenced one-acre yard where dogs have plenty of space to run and play. I also have sand pits and dog toys for enrichment and exercise. If the owner is comfortable, I love taking dogs on hikes and walks on the rail trail in Londonderry. I used to have a Jack Russell, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and making sure they stay active, safe, and happy.
About: I started out dog walking about the age of 10, I have always had a passion for animals since I was young. My career with animals then started in doggy daycare as a teen, and I then moved up to a vet receptionist and made my way to a vet tech which I have been doing for 6 years now. I love all animals greatly and I am looking for more jobs to be around them. I currently work at my vet hospital Monday - Friday until 3pm so I am looking for part time weekend jobs. Willing to work around different hours during the day on the weekends. I myself have two cats, and one dog I am experienced caring for them in home settings and Hospital settings with my career as a vet tech and very experienced with keeping them safe, fed and loved! I also have experience giving medications and feedings and leash walks.
About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified through PetTech. I worked at a dog boarding facility for a year and a half. I have gotten a professional education in dog body language, handling, and training through Kennelwood Academy. I own 4 dogs myself. I have expirience with senior dogs, sports dogs, puppies as young as 8 weeks, dogs with disabilities and more. Available all day early mornings, no later than 8pm. I am a dog and cat owner so I am no stranger to last minute help. I follow your dogs schedule exactly as written. Schedule and routine is extremely important for animals. Especially while you, the pet parent, is not home.
About: I've had a number of pets throughout my life that I have taken care of including dogs of all sizes. I hold a special place in my heart for pitbulls as my sweetest girl was a pittie mix. I'm also used to anxious animals and can manage a pet who doesn't appreciate human contact very much. I'm currently in graduate school, looking for work over the summer and hopefully continuing into weekends and evenings once classes begin again. I work part time in senior care. I believe every animal deserves a kind and loving home, regardless or species, breed, or temperament. I approach every animal with respect for their personal space but will happily pet and play with the ones who are comfortable.
About: I currently work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have personal experience caring for special needs and mobility-impaired dogs, including medication administration and bladder expression. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet like family. I work mornings and spend a lot of time caring for my own rescue babies, so I currently offer pet care visits between 3 PM–9 PM to ensure every animal gets my full attention and care. I know how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your pets, because my own babies are my entire world too. I believe building a bond with each pet is just as important as meeting their physical needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with patience, attention, and kindness while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sandown is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 4,775 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sandown. 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
