“Abhay has been doing drop in visits for my dog for the past 3 weeks. During this time, he has been excellent with communication and following care instructions for my dog. He has been respectful of my property while caring for my dog and I have no complaints. I am comfortable having him do drop in visit care.”

About: I have two dogs, one Collie and a 12 pound Maltipoo. We have 1 acre of land and a fence yard. I am a frequent traveler and I know how stressful it can be trying to find appropriate lodging your pup! Your dog would be treated like my own, with plenty of playtime and affection. I have had many dogs and I wound make sure that your dog is comfortable and happy. My dogs are regularly are let outside and I also walk twice daily. I have dog training experience, and have studied Dog behavior. I will take elderly dogs as well as young puppies. I am available throughout the day as I work from home and we could work together to make the experience exactly what you are wanting for your pet. I work from home so I am available to let your pet out as needed. Sleeping area can be a crate or just off fenced off part of my home, whatever works for your furry friend. I lead with exercise and affection. I realize it is a transition for your dog to be in my home and my experience as a trainer helps make that time more comfortable. My dogs are both excellent with other dogs and can give some support to your pet.

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have a lot of love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).

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.

“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two siamese cats. They are really needy, but were in great spirits when we got back. Kat was always on time and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. The food area and litter boxes were spotlessly clean and so was our apartment.”

About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age.

I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care.

About: Hi, I’m McKenzie! I’ve been around pets for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. As a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and honestly, she’s my daughter in dog form! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already a dedicated dog mom to my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Prada. My day revolves around making sure she is happy, healthy, and well cared for through regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. Since caring for pets is already a part of my everyday life, welcoming and caring for other dogs comes naturally to me. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Prada is very friendly, loves to play, and enjoys the company of other dogs, making our home a fun and welcoming place for your furry friend. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I live in a spacious apartment in Randolph, which gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel at home. For exercise and potty breaks, we regularly go on walks around the block. We also have access to a large open field where dogs can run around, play, and get their energy out. On most days, we take Prada to the dog park for additional socialization and exercise. Inside the home, dogs are treated like family. Prada is free to roam around the apartment, and visiting pets are welcome to do the same unless owners request otherwise. Prada even has her own bed, and I make sure every pet has a comfortable space to rest, relax, and feel secure. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I will maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy.

I’ll make sure your pups get plenty of exercise and is tired after the walk. I’d love to play fetch with your pet at a park or open field for good exercise.

About: Hi! My name is Juliana, and I'm a second-year Marketing student in Boston. I've lived here for over five years and have been a Rover sitter for almost a year. During the school year, I'm usually unavailable for boarding, but feel free to reach out to see if I can accommodate your needs! I've been taking care of animals since I was 13 and became a proud cat mom at 16 to a sweet boy named Harrison, who is currently living with my family in Florida. I'm confident in my ability to quickly adapt to the needs and personalities of the different animals in my care, including those with separation anxiety and special medication requirements. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and am typically available every day. I usually only intend to be away for a maximum of four hours at a time, ensuring that I can provide consistent attention and care to the animals in my charge. I also don’t have any classes on Fridays. (thank god) In caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. When in a client's home, I ensure to ask in advance about any security features for my personal safety and go over basic details such as gate locks to avoid any potential issues. I maintain open communication with owners to ensure all specific needs and routines are followed.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Scituate on Rover is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $50 per visit. 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 8,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Scituate. 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.

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 Scituate 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.

  • 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.

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.
