“Sam is great! She watched our oldest kitten when he was just a few months old, and again now that we have two! Our oldest loves playing with her and hanging out, and though our second is a little shy, she did manage to come out at the end of the visit. Sam is reliable and has great communication. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Brittany was an amazing cat sitter - even though there was construction started on the exterior of our home that frightened Guinevere, she still tried to find her in her hidey holes and make sure she was doing okay!”
About: My family began taking care of different dogs at the beginning of 2024. Our licensed home kennel is a single large house with a fenced yard where the dogs can play. I work mostly from home, and my mom is a housewife, so we’re both able to spend plenty of time caring for the dogs. We’ll also share photos and videos with you to make sure you feel confident that they’re having a great stay with us! We would like to schedule a meet-and-greet (a one-night trial is preferred) before the actual stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. To follow state regulations, we require that your pets have an up-to-date rabies vaccination and that you provide the records for us to keep on file. We also need your pets to wear a collar with their current license attached. My parents and I love dogs and cats very much. We know they are part of your family, and we will treat them as part of ours as well. Thank you for trusting us! Since I work mostly from home and my mom is a housewife, we’re both home throughout the day. This gives us plenty of time to care for the pets, supervise them, and play with them as part of our daily and weekly routine. I have a clean, dedicated bedroom that can be used as a private space for pets if they need their own room. I also have a backyard that is partially fenced where pets can safely play. Whenever they are outside, I stay with them to provide supervision and ensure they are safe and comfortable.
“Sally helped us with drop-in visits for our elderly cat while we were away for a few weeks - she was responsible, communicative and took great care of our kitty and a few other small things in our house! We enjoyed meeting her and appreciated her updates while we were away. Thank you!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember — I grew up with a black Lab (12 great years), have had my own dog for almost 7, and regularly watch a close friend's dog when they travel. So I'm used to slipping into someone else's routine and earning a new dog's trust while making sure they are enjoying themselves. On walks I'm patient and attentive: no phone-scrolling, pace matched to your dog, and a photo update after every visit. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first if your dog is nervous, senior, or just particular. Message me anytime. I am a Marketing Consultant by trade so I typically have time during my days to come meet up with a dog who needs some care. That's why I started my Rover profile. I love dogs and have time for them! I have two young kids and a dog at home so I'm accustomed to taking direction. Happy to follow any directions you have to care for your dog - every dog has a 'thing' :) My main goal is to always make sure the dog gets the essentials - exercise, food, water - and from there it's about happiness. I'll play, give pets, take outside in the yard...whatever the dog needs!
“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 took care of my dog for 18 years before he passed away in 2022. I have also taken care of other friends dogs so I understand how much time and dedication it takes to care of any dog. I’m an active individual so I can run and play with dogs if needed. I’m willing to travel with your dogs and use my car if they need to taken to any locations. I’m a very patient and will give them the time they deserve. I have experience in giving dogs medication if needed and can attain to any special needs they may have. Overall, there is nothing I wouldn’t be open to in taking care of your dogs! I work as a Middle School Counselor during the Months of September through early June. During the school year I'm available anytime on weekends and after 4pm on weekday evenings. I’m off from mid June to late August. During this time I’m available to care for your pets anytime on weekdays and weekends. I took my dog on long walks and lots of dog parks. I also am willing to drive to any residence if needed and can bring lots of dog toys to be clients home's if needed!
“Jill took care of our cats during a long weekend, making sure one of them got their meds everyday. She was reliable and completed reports with photos to make sure we knew they were being well taken care of. We would book with her again!”
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.

“Madeleine is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy but super sweet cat who is usually wary of strangers, but she loved Madeleine from her very first visit. I was so impressed! Madeleine sent me adorable pictures every day, was incredibly responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will 100% hire her again and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”
“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with dogs and cats, and currently have a 4-year-old black cat named Mavis, who loves belly rubs, attention, and treats. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m happy to help with feeding and fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime and exercise, basic grooming, medications when appropriate, and lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away! I nanny part-time, so I have pretty open and flexible availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, walks, and longer visits.

About: I am a college student home for breaks! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat at home who I love to hang out with and care for. I have done at home care for senior dogs, walks and run around with younger dogs and puppies, cat sitting, and lots in between. I am home for a few weeks in January and lots of time in the summer, so I would love to help with your animals anytime when I am home, especially if you’re headed on any vacations. I care deeply for your animals and will carefully follow any instructions and specific requests you may have. I want to make sure you and your animals are as comfortable as possible while they are in my care, so I am very flexible.

Livia did a great job visiting our cuddly cat while we were away for a few days! She did a wonderful job getting him out of his shell and giving him attention at each visit. Livia was on time, ensured a clean environment, and was really respectful of our property. I will definitely be booking again! :)
Charlene took care of our shy cat during our recent 12-day trip, and she was phenomenal. Our guy can take a while to warm up to new people, but Charlene was patient and consistent with him, and it really paid off - he’s now comfortable and even chatty with her. Beyond the basics like keeping his litter box clean, she paid close attention to his hydration and emphasized for us the importance of making sure he is getting enough water, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the routine tasks. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and total peace of mind. Charlene is our go-to sitter, and we can’t recommend her enough!
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!
Morgan took great care of my cat Nami for 6 days, twice a day while I was on vacation. Not only did she complete basic routines such as feeding, cleaning litter box and sending updates per visit, but most importantly, she is really trying to playing with and accompanying my cat during all the visits. I can tell my cat likes her. I will definitely rebook with Morgan.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sherborn is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 11,279 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherborn. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherborn. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 .
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.
