“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.”
“Thanks so much for taking Luna for a couple of walks today on such short notice. It was peace of mind knowing you showed up for her. She loves you guys!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a shy cat, a bouncy pup, or a curious wild visitor, they feel safe with me—and I feel at home with them. Every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality. Some are ready to play the moment we meet, while others simply need a calm, patient presence and someone willing to let them move at their own pace. I believe trust comes first, and once that bond is built, confidence naturally follows. Whether we’re exploring a quiet neighborhood, taking in the fresh coastal air, or simply sitting together until your pet feels comfortable, my goal is always the same—to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your furry family member. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I offer flexible availability for drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits us both and gives your pet consistent, loving care. I care for your pets and your home with total respect—keeping routines consistent, energy calm, and your space safe and tidy. With years of hands-on experience and a natural connection to animals of all kinds, I treat every pet like family and every home like my own. I’m available for drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays, and I’m comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets, or simply being a steady, reassuring presence. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or playful engagement, I adapt to their energy and make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Your peace of mind is always my top priority.
About: I have eight years of experience dog sitting and walking with clients on and off Rover. I am available to stay at your house and have the time during the day to check in and go on walks with your dog and let them out multiple times a day. I have my own car and can take your pup for walks all over the South Shore! I have my a 3mo old cattle dog who loves to play & is great with dogs of all sizes. I have lots of love for all the doggies out there big and small and can’t wait to get to know yours :) I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability to spend time with your pup! I am available for multiple potty breaks throughout the day and walks in the morning and afternoon/evening.

Other than that I am around to attend to your dogs routine! At home I am the main caretaker for my family’s 4 month old cattle dog. This includes frequent potty breaks, training, meal times, play and puzzles. As a cattle dog puppy who is not fully vaccinated it is a lot of work to keep her mentally and physically stimulated so I am used to lots of interaction with dogs.

“The absolute best! It was our first time having someone come over to watch our dog and Lindsey handled everything so well. She followed my (long list) of instructions with ease and my dog absolutely adored her!!! She even stopped by an extra time just because she knew he’d be home for a few more hours alone. I was so nervous to leave him but Lindsey exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely be using her again!”

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.
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:
- 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.
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.
