“Laura always does a wonderful job watching our pups! She sends us lots of photos and detailed updates so we can rest assured that our boys are doing great. Both our pups look so happy when Laura is there and it’s obvious she really cares about them. She is the best!”
About: I am a dedicated pet lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment while their owners are away. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to treat every pet like family and ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I care for my own dog, Ella, and cat, Willow. I have a flexible schedule and can provide feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of attention. I am committed to keeping pet owners updated and ensuring their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they are away. I am usually available M-Thursday after 5pm Early mornings if necessary Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I understand that every pet is unique and will treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own pets, Ella and Willow.
About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it is for over night stays, walking, and cleaning cages; I am a trustworthy individual that takes great responsibility with your space and pet. I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days. On Saturdays and Sundays I am available from 8am-8pm so I would be able to house and pet sit over night those days. My schedule can be flexible so please do not hesitate to reach out to inquire! I will not be able to have your pet in my apartment, but I will always maintain a clean and safe environment in your home.
About: I’ve had dogs since young and I’ve loved to train them and work with them. I also really enjoy talking dogs for walks because it is super peaceful and fun. I am currently a college student who is already active. I go for runs at least 3 times a week and can incorporate more walks into my routine. I will abide by the clients rules and how they walk their animal. I also will try to create a bond with the pet so they want to go with me or allow me in their home.
About: I have a wide range of experience with dogs and cats, from boarding and daycare, to grooming, training, and even veterinary medicine, my favorite pets to work with are senior or anxious pets. Dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs and other small animals, reptiles, and even large farm animals, I love them all! I am comfortable working with anxious dogs with all their dogs who need medication, spicy cats, any dog breed and any level of training. I work with positive reinforcement to make our tine together enjoyable! Looking forward to caring for your pet! I am very flexible in my schedule please let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pets I always walk carefully doors to make sure nobody slips out. If your dog is crated, I will make sure he is back in his crate when I leave. I never let a dog out off leash unless we are safe in a fully fenced yard.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my heart. I was lucky enough to share 20 beautiful years with my two pups, who have since crossed the rainbow bridge. Loving and caring for them shaped the way I show up for every animal I meet. I have a naturally calm, grounded energy, and animals seem to feel that right away. Most pets warm up to me quickly, whether they’re playful and energetic or a little shy and need gentle patience. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I provide. Your pet won’t just be watched… they’ll be cared for with presence, respect, and lots of love. Hugs- Auntie Trie Hi, I’m Trie – a traveling artist with a heart full of love for furry companions! While I spend most of my time creating intuitive art and sharing it at music festivals and events, I also cherish the quiet, grounding joy that comes from the company of pets. Pet sitting is my way of adding a little extra income while also getting some much-loved snuggles and tail wags in return. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. That’s why I offer more than just feeding and walking — I provide companionship, comfort, and care. Plus, as an artist with a keen eye, I’ll send you professional-quality photo updates so you don’t miss a beat (or a bark). Whether your pup needs a playmate, your cat needs some chill company, or your plants just need a good watering — I’m here to help make your time away stress-free. Let’s chat and make sure your pets (and peace of mind) are in good hands I will take care and love of your pet in your home just as I would it was my pet or home. I will make sure that they stay safe and protect your belongings.
About: My name is Victoria and I have a wide range of experience caring for animals. Being a pet owner myself, I know what others are looking for while leaving their loved ones in the hands of others. Throughout my time looking after pets my duties have been; walking, feeding, boarding, giving pets with Diabetes their injection of insulin, giving animals their daily medications (both liquid and pills) and just about anything else you can think of! I have taken care of 6 month old puppies to 17 year old dogs of all different breeds and disabilities. I don't view animals as pets but as members of a family. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like royalty! My current job is both remote and flexible, giving me the ability to be attentive and care for your your pets consistently throughout each day! My home is pet very pet friendly and safe. Animals are allowed on the couch and beds! Along with walks, there is a dog play area where I live to keep your pet(s) entertained and happy! Please note I do have a very friendly dog at my home (he loves all animals!) so if your pet is boarded my dog will be present. I would also like to add a note that if you are requesting house sitting services, I usually take my dog with me for the nights unless requested otherwise. If that is the case, please let me know and I will see if I can make accommodations for my pet so I am able. Thank you!
“Don was fantastic with my 9-month old puppy. He is reliable and prompt for the drop in visits. I could tell during the meet & great that my pup already liked him. He fed, walked and even did some training (loose leash walking, stay and come) which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“10/10 recommend! Laney dropped in fed and played with my cats she even got my shy cat to play too. She sent photos daily and I felt so comfortable with her as a sitter. I will definitely be booking again! ❤️”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.

Brooke was great! She was on time (with treats in hand) and did a great job with walking, playing with and taking care of my golden retriever puppy so I could take a work call. Charlie was pooped and went right down for a nap after. So helpful for those that work from home!

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.

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.
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 South Hamilton 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
