“Layla was amazing with Kali. Her patience was over the roof and her ability to work with her really made us feel like we made a great decision. Kali now absolutely loves her and we’re looking forward to book with her in the future!”
About: Hi everybody! My home is neat plus plenty of soft cozy places for pets to relax. The living room has big, bright windows with roomy ledges great for pet who love to gaze outside. Every corner is checked to make sure there’s nothing unsafe for them to nibble or accidentally ingest. Throughout the day,I offer play sessions based on your pets energy level. I work from home so I’ll always be there to give attention to your furry baby. i’d be happy to board your baby or drop in. I put a lot of heart into making sure every pet I look after feels comfortable, safe and genuinely cared for. I keep an eye on their meals, litter habits and overall mood so I can spot anything unusual right away and update you immediately if something needs attention. You’ll also get daily photos and videos giving you a sweet glimpse into how your little one is doing while you’re away!
“Megan was extremely communicative. She also sent me tons of photos and videos of my cat and her engaging with my cat. It was always clear that he was being very well taken care of!”
About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
About: We always go above and beyond to make sure each cat is happy and well cared for. We pay close attention to their eating, litter box habits and overall wellness and weI’ll reach out right away if we notice anything unusual. We also send daily photo and video updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing. My partner and I work from home which means your pet will always have companionship and plenty of attention! We are available for boarding, walks and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. Your baby will receive constant attention and care in a loving environment! We take extra care to secure and pet proof all areas of our home making sure there are no hazards and that your pet cannot get into unsafe spots or slip outside. We take time to build trust with each pet by using gentle interactions and keeping their routine consistent, helping them feel secure and comfortable. We clean litter box daily, play with feather toys and small football style balls and plenty of playtime tailored to their energy level. We’re attentive, affectionate and patient whether your pet prefers independent lounging or lots of snuggles. We want to create a calm, safe and comforting experience for every pet in our care so you can feel confident they’re in good 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!”
About: Hi I’m Mary Kate! I’m a music teacher who recently moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts. I grew up caring for large dogs, so dog walking has always been a great way to spend my time after school or during summer break. I can’t wait to meet you and your awesome dog! I’m currently on summer break, so my schedule is wide open! During the school year I’m an early bird and get done with school around 4pm. I’m currently living in a studio apartment, however my complex does have a dog park! Lots of shady areas too for hot days. It’s pretty quiet too, so it’s a great option for pets who just wanna chill on the couch :)
“Alex was phenomenal from communication to actual care for my 9 year old boxer, who normally intimates people. Definitely would recommend and I plan to work with him again in the future.”
“Heather was amazing to work with! She was a huge help walking our dogs while we were away for four weeks. My dogs loved her and she was so kind, taking such good care of both our active 5 year old Frenchie and our senior Frenchie and sending great pictures and updates along the way. She’s the best! ❤️”
“Tawana was amazing! I was super nervous to leave my new 3mo old extremely clingy puppy, but little G had such a great time and took to Tawana immediately. Tawana made it so easy for me to leave, and I could tell immediately that she loved animals and that I wouldn’t need to worry. Thank you, Tawana! G and I look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Erica treated my cats like they were her own, and regularly stayed longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. She made sure they had food and water and played with them when they wanted it.”
“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were away! We had her do drop in visits at our home, since our dog is older and does better staying home. Jennifer did each visit on time, and took extra care to make sure that she ate, got out for her business, and also got some love! She communicated perfectly by writing a little summary about the visit, and uploaded photos. We felt completely confident that our dog was taken care of while we were away, and will absolutely use Jennifer again!”
“Ayfer is incredible! She's been so reliable and personable. Even our anxious cat loves her! We can really relax when we know Ayfer is with our furry family. She's also great with medication and just being a warm presence. Super responsive and sends incredible videos and pics!”
“Once again, she went above and beyond to help me. I asked a very last minute question, which was for her to bring my dog to my boyfriends house and without any hesitation she drove him there (not to mention in rush hour)”
“Kamani was amazing! Communication was always so easy and quick and she went above & beyond- even cleaning the litter box without being asked! She sent lots of photos and feedback about my cat which made me feel so reassured. 100% would recommend booking her for any of your pets! 😊”

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!!
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!!
Caroline was great! She came for a meet and greet to meet our kitties before the drop in sessions. I forgot to provide instructions for the lockbox and she was easy to work with the clarify. She was caring and followed instructions for our kitties. Already rebooked :)
Nicole continues to be the greatest cat sitter ever. We have booked her many times and trust her completely. She takes excellent care of our two cats, provides detailed photos and write ups, and cares for the house in unexpected ways on top of everything else. You should absolutely book with Nicole - your pet(s) will thank you!!
Fior is wonderful! She was professional, has a lot of knowledge on caring for animals and is very kind. She followed all instructions I had for my cat. She sent me lots of photos and videos which I loved. She even bought my cat a new cat toy which was the sweetest. I would absolutely book Fior again, I know my cat approves!!!

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 .

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.

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.
