“It was such a relief to know Rachel was stopping by twice a day to check on my cat. It was my first time leaving him and I felt really bad. This was very helpful. I will definitely reach out again whenever I need to leave town in the future.”
“Thank you Calandra! We can’t put into words how happy we are to have found someone so reliable and caring to help with our pets when we are out of town. Calandra also sends the best photos that make us so happy 🥹❤️”
“Kelsie was so good with our senior dog, Cash! Our updates were thorough, thoughtful and caring. My kids loved seeing the pictures she sent! It was very comforting to know Cash was in such good care. I highly recommend Kelsie’s services!”
About: I have owned three small rescue dogs-a Chihuahua Basenji girl, and two Shih-Tzu boys. I have always loved animals and still own many of my dog books from childhood. I have also pet sat for many larger dogs-labs, terrier and doodles :) I have flexibility with days during the week and have my schedule posted ahead of time! My schedule varies week by week and I am unavailable every third weekend As I have my own fur baby, I completely understand the level of care they deserve and their home! That is the top priority always.
About: As a pet owner myself, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care with a focus on love, attention, and playtime. Let me be your pet’s favorite companion while you're away! I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends for pet care services! I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits or overnight stays. I always make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away! I take great pride in ensuring my dog and cat receive the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. From daily walks and bathroom breaks to playtime and cuddles, I prioritize their well-being above all else. With my experience and genuine love for animals, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention to your pets as I do my own, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence.
“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!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I have experience with dogs, cats, and even experience with some exotic pets as well!! I currently own 2 guinea pigs of my own. I’m currently working a part time job however that doesn’t stop me from being able to provide for you and your pets! Feel free to reach out so I can give you my schedule. I know that everyone has different rules/regulations for how they want their pets handled in their home, so I’m always happy to take the time to meet with or speak to you about boundaries for you and your fur babies!
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”
“Zachary was great! We were away for the day and he came by a few times throughout the day to walk our two labs. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch our pups again some time soon!”
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!
“Isabella was excellent. From the pictures of our dog Janet to her attention to detail and even getting a snapshot of our elusive cat, she communicated great and our animals were well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.
About: Hi! I’m Lexi, an experienced pet walker with a lifelong passion for animals. I've grown up with pets and have been caring for others' animals since I was 10. I currently have two dogs and have taken care of pets ranging from puppies to seniors. Your furry friends will be in safe, loving hands with me! I am available almost everyday as long as I have a 3 day notice, as far as staying in home visits I require a 5 day minimum notice! I do not currently offer overnight boarding at my home. I am happy to do overnights in the home of the pet. I am able to do day boarding in my own home with notice.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scituate
Calandra was wonderful to work with! She stopped by beforehand to meet Myla and Asher and go over their care instructions, and she was reliable and punctual with her twice-daily visits. I especially appreciated the adorable pictures and thoughtful updates she sent after each visit. She really took the time to notice their little personalities and share how they were doing, which was such a nice touch! She was friendly, nice, and professional. I would absolutely recommend Calandra and would love to have her care for Myla and Asher again!
Giseli is so easy to work with and very thoughtful about communication and her care of Zuli. My dog is quite the playful/spunky one - and she enjoys his antics. I have been happy to be able to schedule with her both last minute and a few weeks out. I highly recommend Giseli for your pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Scituate is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 8,823 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scituate. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
