“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”
“Caroline is an amazing cat sitter. She took care of my cat, made her feel safe, fed her and kept her area clean. She made the whole experience great. I would highly recommend her.”
“Wonderful, kind, knowledgeable, professional, patient. My fur babies responded well after a little rocky start. Carolyn patiently gave them time to warm up. She accompanied my need for a sitter for a few hours over a drop in. Will be using her again and again!”
“Ana was awesome - on short notice and without the benefit of a “get to know you” visit beforehand, she came and made sure Mojo had everything he needed while we were attending a wedding. We couldn’t have left our boy in better hands. Thanks Ana!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and my family and I have two of our own. I’ve also taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I run my own business and am home most of the time. I plan my day around visits so each pet gets steady attention. I care for pets by following their normal routines, paying close attention to their behavior, and keeping their environment calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and relaxed.

I can take them for longer walks if needed. We usually do walks no matter the weather!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. Caring for my furry family has been a part of my life ever since. I helped care for my dogs when they got up there in age. I’m familiar with medicating my own pets and can surely learn your routine too. I’m currently home for school for the summer so I have most days completely free. I’m also one of the main carers for my two furry siblings while I’m home. I’m used to giving pills even if the pet won’t take a pill pocket (my cat won’t either). Rain or shine I’ll take your pet on a walk. Just let me know where the leashes are!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner of two, I’m very familiar with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also looked after two medium-to-large dogs for friends. This included feeding, walks, playtime, providing companionship, and making sure they stayed on their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide patient, attentive, and loving care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life as I care for my two cats. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure they get the attention and care they need. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed (including litter box cleaning for cats), provide playtime, affection, and companionship, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications (if needed), or your pet’s preferences.

Letting an animal keep their routine, can lower stress levels and ease anxiety while you’re away.

I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time.

“We have a cat and a house bunny and Nick did a wonderful job taking care of them, who both seemed to love him from his first visit. He was responsible, communicative, and engaging with both pets. I would definitely have him look after our fur babies again any time!”
About: Hey There! I'm Becky. I'm a mother, small business owner, and life-long dog lover. For my entire life I've always had dogs, but a few years my sweet dog crossed the rainbow bridge to doggy heaven. When that happened, my children started asking for a new dog, but I wasn’t quite ready. As an alternative we started helping others with theirs. It’s become an incredible journey for our family, and brings us so much joy! We’re happy to have dogs here for boarding. I only take ONE dog at a time, unless there are multiple dogs coming from the same home that already live together. I have two children (11 & 15) who both love dogs as well. However, my son is nervous around bigger dogs and certain breeds. For this reason, a trial visit is required. Dog sitting has brought an unexpected amount of happiness into our home and family. We get very excited with each new furry friend that we get to love while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and a cozy home. I allowed my dog on the furniture when I had him. I don’t have a crate. Whatever rules apply in your house are what we try to do here. Dogs can run free in my fenced yard or walk on a leash around my neighborhood and in the nearby nature trails. I run a small part-time preschool enrichment program out of my basement, in a separate area where dogs would not have access. During work hours I am generally able let dogs out as needed in a separate fenced area. If you are interested in having your dog stay with us, please feel free to contact me. We would love to provide a safe, happy home away from home for your beloved pet while you're away. Your pet will be treated as if they were our pet. We try our best to make our routines look like yours, creating a safe, happy home away from home. I live in a cute neighborhood abutting conservation land. It is beautiful! We use an organic pest company to keep ticks out of our yard and I keep my home tidy.
About: I've been around dogs since I was a baby, from tiny Yorkies to big German Shepherds, and I currently have 2 dogs (one very silly Golden Retriever and one hyperactive mini Dachshund) at home. I'm equally comfortable with cats, having cat-sat before and now living with a long-haired Maine Coon mix. From goofy to chill, I can meet your pet where they're at. I'm currently in my gap year preparing for law school, and all my work is remote, so I have a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly between studying and writing essays, it's actually the perfect break for both me and a furry friend. I'm happy to work around your schedule, whether that's regular walks, drop-in visits, or something more flexible. For walks and check-ins, I always come prepared with everything I need, including extra supplies in case you're running low at home. I bring treats but always check with the owner first before giving anything to your dog. I'm well versed in choking procedures and pet CPR, and I'm capable of carrying (most) dogs if an emergency situation arises.
“Sarah was so fantastic with our two dogs! She took the extra time, brought them for a scenic walk, and made sure our girls were taken care of. I will absolutely be using Sarah again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherborn
After bringing home our 8 week old puppy, we found out we’d have to leave him home alone in the crate at 10 weeks old. We were so worried about this, but felt INSTANT relief once we met Lindsey. Lindsey went above and beyond every single day to take care of our Remy. And he loves her sooo much. She even stayed 30 minutes extra one day so that they could sit outside while our apartment building was testing the fire alarms. She genuinely cares about animals and will do the most for your pet! I’m a teacher so I’m on summer break now, but we will 1000% be having her back in the fall to walk Remy again. Please don’t hesitate to book with Lindsey… she’s the best!
I can’t say enough great things about Livia! I needed help very last minute for my two dogs, and she stepped in without hesitation. From the very beginning, communication was quick, clear, and reassuring which made such a stressful situation so much easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care for their pets! 🐾
Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.
Morgan was great!! She came to the rescue on short notice and she was fantastic! We have one dog with anxiety and another with a very bossy temperament and from the moment she came to meet them, they were at ease with her. Her calm nature made a big difference and she took great care of our dogs. Her daily updates were so appreciated too. Highly recommend her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sherborn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Sherborn 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.

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.
