“Megan has been wonderful. I have a senior dog that isn't really difficult but definitely can be stand-offish so it was nice to hear that she took to her well. I will be using Megan in the future!”
“Heather took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town for a whole week. She provided me with regular updates, sent tons of pics of play time or just to get clarification on anything. I left some notes on details about my cat and things items to address and she followed them to the letter! She even offered to brush her when I mentioned she likes that. Could not recommend Heather any stronger! She’s awesome!”
About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
“Haowen and his girlfriend Yi were wonderful, caring, and very responsible sitters for our cat Yokii. My husband and I were quite anxious at first because this was our first time being away for such a long trip, and we were worried that our cat might have trouble adjusting or feel stressed. However, Haowen and Yi took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind. They always checked in on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and helped our cat maintain his daily routine as much as possible while we were away. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with whenever anything came up, which we really appreciated! On top of that, they took so many adorable photos and videos of our cat during each visit, which made us feel much more connected to him during our trip. Overall, we are extremely happy that our cat was so well cared for and that he got along so well with both of them. We (and Yokii) would absolutely feel comfortable and confident asking Haowen and Yi to take care of Yokii again the next time we travel. Big thanks again for everything!!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Tawana's pet-sitting service! She cared for my cat with such love and attention, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Despite the building management losing the spare key, Tawana made an extra trip on the same day to ensure my cat was well-cared for, demonstrating her commitment and professionalism. She took the time to feed, water, and clean the litter box, and even played with my cat to keep her happy and entertained. Tawana also sent me the most adorable pictures and videos, which made me feel so connected while I was away. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I am beyond satisfied with her service and incredibly grateful for her help. I highly recommend Tawana to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
About: I am a cat mommy and have been caring for the dogs of clients, my family and friends over the past 3 years! I have always loved animals and would love to care for your fur baby I am currently working part time. I work in the evening so I have plenty of free time to care for your pups and fur babies If I am to watch your pet(s) from your home, I would love take them out on walks, give cuddles and play with them! My schedule is pretty open so I am as flexible as possible! If your pet is to come to me, I live on the 3rd floor which requires stairs to access. I have an open field across from my complex and live 6-minutes from beach. I would love to take your pup out to the park or beach to get a good walk in! I have a studio apartment, so while there is not much room in here I can take your pup out plenty hours throughout the day between 8-3:30pm and for a nice walk at night around 8pm. I am okay with using a crate if that is preferred
About: I grew up with police dogs, I have a dog of my own and 3 cats. I am very experienced with taking care of animals. My specialty and passion is training. I have a bachelors degree in Veterinary Technology and hands on experience as a veterinary technologist in general medicine. I am knowledgeably equipped to handle any medical situation that arises and take care of any pets with known medical issues. I am especially equipped to handle male cats with urinary issues, as my own rescued cat has such issues. Cat, dog, young, old, no health issues, a laundry list of health issues, special diets or medicine; I can handle it all. I am currently freelancing, so much of my time is spent at home or bringing my dog on outdoor adventures nearby. Pet care is round the clock apart of my life with my own pets. I have a very friendly dog and 3 friendly cats. I live in a spacious condo with plenty of roaming space and a dedicated sunroom to cats aka the Kitty Haven. I have a crate if needed and am very versed on crate training and dog training. I have all the pet supplies and toys needed and beyond at my disposal.
“Fahad was wonderful to work with. He was kind, honest, trusty, and reliable. Fahad took care to send frequent updates and photos which were greatly appreciated. He always responded promptly to any messages.”
About: I have limited professional experience in animal care but I have nearly a lifetime's worth of practical experience and pure love for all animals. Between having pets of my own and caring for others' fur-friends, I'm always the "DD" or "designated dog-duty" person. Since I've been able to walk to my neighbors houses or drive to friends and family members' homes I've often been relied on to check-in on, walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Along with years of experience caring for pets in the home, I have volunteer experience bathing, blow-drying, and combing dogs of all ages and sizes. I've experience caring for dogs (including senior dogs), cats, puppies, kittens, turtles, hamsters, bearded dragons, and sugar gliders. Caring for others is something that comes naturally to me. I'm currently a graduate student aspiring to work in the mental health field with children and adolescents. However, as much as I love working with humans, I also love working with animals and pet-sitting/walking has become a side-gig that fills my cup and my wallet! I'm a quick-learner and willing to follow any special care instructions to accommodate your pet's needs. I'm currently a part-time graduate student so I have plently of time to walk and/or care for your furry friends! I have a lot of open availability and flexible scheduling during summer months so please reach out with any scheduling or timing questions. Safety is my top priority, for your pets, your home, and myself. I will carefully follow all care instructions, whether they're for routines inside the home, walks, medications, or any special needs. I'm attentive, observant, and adaptable to each pet's unique personality and always allow them to set the pace as we build trust and become comfortable with one another. I'm very patient with shy, fearful, or timid pets and can adapt to ensure introductions are low-stress and with your approval, can incorporate treats, toys, or gentle play to help them feel safe and confident. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times and remain aware of our surroundings to ensure a safe and fun experience. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands!
“Amber has only spent two days with my pup and I can already tell they are going to be friends! He’s happy and lively when I come home so I know he is getting a lot out of her visits!”

“Ayfer was so amazing with my 2 dogs, dropping in and seeing them multiple times while I was out of town for a weekend. My dogs felt comfortable with her immediately! She always sends pictures and videos and is a great communicator. Both of my dogs have medications and she was sure to keep them on schedule! I know my pups are in good hands with her!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, either my own or friends, we took in fosters when we could. My sisters current dog is very nervous of people, but I was able to gain her trust easily by being a calm and understanding person. I am able to do it after work on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I can also do drop ins during my lunch depending how far they are from my work. I am able to play with dogs the way they like, or just spend time calmly with them. I can meet their needs how it best suits them.

Anny was absolutely wonderful! She communicated clearly, was incredibly reliable, and took such great care of our cat, Milo. I’m very particular about who I trust with my cat, so it meant a lot to feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Milo like her own. I would absolutely book with Anny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! Thank you, Anny!
Heather took such great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She made sure they got cuddles, food and play time and she helped with keeping them cool during heat waves. We felt very comforted knowing our boys were so well looked after. Heather is the best!!

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 Saugus 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.

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.
