About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had three cats and three dogs before. I have helped provide medications to both a cat and a dog. I have cared for animals by doing daily visits, taking on food responsibilities, taking care of litter, administering medications, providing walks, and just overall play visits. Hi! I am a college student going into my sophomore year of college. While I am home for the summer, I am looking for nearby Petcare opportunities. My schedule is very open besides one week in August. I have two cats and two dogs myself. I care for my dogs by taking them out on a daily walk and providing them with food and water each day. They also get a lot of playtime. I care for my cats by providing them with food and water each day. One of my cats has a hyperactive thyroid so each morning and night I make sure to give him his daily medication. I have looked after my neighbor's cats by cleaning their litter box and feeding them each day with some play time and treats. I have also looked after my neighbor's bunnies. This involved feeding them their kibble with cut-up apples and carrots. I also changed their hay and water. Along with this I have watched over friend's dogs by playing with them, taking them out for walks, and providing food and water.

Madeline was great! She came for a meet and greet before the visit, and then came on time for both bookings during the day we were gone, gave updates, and sent pictures. We will definitely be requesting Madeline to come back. Thank you!!

About: I have never lived in a household without pets before, so taking care of cats and dogs (and fish) is something I’ve done my whole life. I’ve owned three black labs and multiple cats over the years. I especially love big dogs, but am a big fan of all animals! Besides Saturdays, I am available any day and any times through the summer. I start law school at the very end of August and will have less availability at that time, but I will still be looking for work! I love to keep my pets active and enriched, whether that means going on a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or going to the beach for a swim!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs my entire life. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to playful and energetic. I have a sweet, friendly one year old Poochon who loves making new friends. Dogs in my care become part of our family. My husband is home during the day, my adult daughter works from home, and my teenage daughter loves dogs and enjoys helping too. This means your pup will have plenty of attention and will never be left home alone. I occasionally have one or two other friendly boarding dogs staying with us, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. They spend their days playing, relaxing, and getting lots of love and attention together. I believe in clear communication and will always follow your instructions, prioritize your dog’s safety, and send regular updates with photos. Thank you for considering me! I’d love the opportunity to make your pup feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very flexible and available every day of the week. I love the outdoors and staying active, so walks and drop ins are an easy, consistent part of my day. I can accommodate last minute requests, follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always provide reliable care with clear updates each visit. Clean, calm, pet friendly home with a large backyard and plenty of room to play. My friendly 1 year old Poochon is home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I closely follow your routine (feeding, potty schedule, and house rules) and send photo updates. I have video cameras in the home for safety, and someone is home 24/7 for supervision and care.

About: I've taken care of so many animals throughout my life. Whether it's a neighbors dog or a family friends hamster, I have always been the first to raise my hand to say I would love to. I'm in nursing school so I have a compassion for anything that has heartbeat and even stuffed animals. I will make sure any animal I take care of or walk or encounter has the best experience. I'm at nursing student, Merrimack College, and being able to take care of any pet would allow me to debrief and see a cute pet. My dog gets walk very frequently because we live in an apartment. I love hiking so he also goes with me. Being outside whether the weather it is.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently in my house, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I help take care of. I have been on Rover for about 6 years. I am an elementary teacher and high school girls basketball coach. I am currently on summer break since I am an elementary teacher. This means that I have a lot of free time because I am not working anywhere else. I am a very active person, so I love playing with all dogs and taking them on nice, long walks. I have also been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I love spending time with all animals.

About: I’ve cared for animals since a young age, mainly dogs and cats. I have a rescue dog of my own who I trained myself, as well as a senior cat with medical needs who is thriving. My neighbors trust me to care for their dogs with medical needs while they are away, and most recently, I started walking dogs during the day time and offering house visits while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. I love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet and offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! When my cat was young, we had the most wonderful cat sitter who was very in tune with animals and I said I wanted to start my own business one day like her. Well, here I am! I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your pet care needs. I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

Lea did a superb job with Sugar & Spice, giving them their food, medication, and water, and making sure they were provided with clean kitty litter. When she had a question she called me, as I had asked her to do. We enjoyed receiving photos of our cats! Having Lea care for your pets will give you peace of mind.

About: I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who need structure and movement, as well as more sensitive pets who benefit from patience, gentle routines, and clear communication. I’m organized, responsive, and great at managing schedules—skills I use every day in my professional work and bring directly into pet care. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure owners feel fully informed while they’re away. I’m a reliable and attentive weekend pet sitter based in Boston, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for every animal I look after. I work a full-time remote job during the week, but on weekends I’m fully dedicated to pet care—whether that means long walks, dedicated playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and relaxed at home. As someone who values consistency and trust, I make sure every pet gets thoughtful, individualized attention. Whether your pet needs slow, steady walks, a playful activities, or lots of affection, I’m here to help your weekend feel stress-free. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, communicative, and truly loves spending her weekends with animals, I’d love to support you and your pet!

Michelle was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, one who is older and needs some extra attention, and the other who is high energy and really doesn’t warm up to anyone except his own family. Michelle and he became fast friends, and we are in awe at how he responded to her. Truly a dog whisperer! Thank you Michelle and we look forward to having you visit whenever we are away!

About: I grew up with dogs within my family and through friends. I watched my neighbors dogs throughout high school, as well as the dogs for the families I babysat for. I also currently have a dog of almost 4 years, so I understand the level of attention a dog may need especially in the training years. I’m currently working a full-time hybrid job, so I am home and available Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 8:30am, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm, and after 5:00pm. I am completely available on weekends. I will care for your pet however you would like for me to. I can provide sitting, walking and feeding services and I am flexible!

About: (PLEASE review my photos and read through my profile to ensure I’m a good fit for your dog, we want to keep everyone safe!) I offer boarding and daycare with pick-up and drop-off services Monday through Friday. With over 15 years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I started by helping family and friends, then volunteered at a local shelter, and today, I work full-time as a dog walker and sitter — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m committed to going above and beyond to meet each dog’s individual needs, no matter how big or small. I want every dog in my care to live their best life! I know how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine and to never cut corners, especially when working on behavioral issues. I look forward to meeting your dog and supporting them on their journey! Safety and Fun Are My Priorities Over the years, I’ve learned a few key things that help keep the environment safe and fun for everyone: • I require a meet-and-greet before any boarding stay, which includes a day of daycare. This allows me to see if your dog is a good fit, gives them a chance to meet the other dogs, and helps them feel comfortable and familiar before their stay. • At mealtime, I feed all dogs individually to avoid food aggression and to ensure each dog stays on their specific diet. • For dogs requiring medication, I administer it privately and carefully, to ensure it’s properly taken and to prevent any accidental exposure to other dogs. • I do not allow toys, bones, or personal beds from home during a stay. This helps prevent any territorial behavior or conflicts. Rest assured, I have plenty of comfortable bedding, engaging toys, and safe chews to keep your pup happy and entertained while they’re here! I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my pack and help them thrive! Daily Schedule: • 6:30 a.m.: Wake-up/morning bathroom break • 8:00a.m -9:00a.m.: Breakfast •. 9:00 a.m.-Morning daycare pick-ups (Monday–Friday) • 10:30a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 12:00 p.m.: Lunch • 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Quiet time/rest • 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.: Afternoon playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Afternoon daycare drop-offs (Monday–Friday) • 6:00 p.m.: Evening bathroom break • 6:15 p.m.: Dinner • 7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Evening play session • 8:00 p.m.: Relaxation and quiet time • 9:30–10:00 p.m.: Final bathroom break and bedtime I have three separate fenced-in yards to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs, giving them plenty of space to run, play, and explore. There are multiple crates available for individual feeding or for dogs who might be a little too curious and like to explore things they shouldn’t. I also have my yard treated for ticks and mosquitoes every month to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. And that’s just the beginning! I provide a wide variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. We do sensory games, have food puzzles to challenge their minds, and even offer quiet, cozy spots for rest and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to play, learn, or just lounge in the sun, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy!

Jordan was literally a lifesaver. I initially hired her to come check on my cat a few times a day while I was across the country, but after a disaster with another pet sitter she ended up caring for my five month old puppy Scout too. My puppy can be quite a handful, but Jordan did everything possible to care for her. She went way above and beyond taking care of both of my pets, including regularly carrying Scout up a steep flight of stairs because she can’t climb them well. I got plenty of updates and pictures and never once doubted my pets were in great hands. She even brought my cat some new toys, which he’s been batting around for hours. I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate her care and attention in an emergency situation, and I know my pets feel the same way.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Scituate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Scituate on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,604 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Scituate. 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 Scituate 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.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

To find sitters in Scituate with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scituate. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
