“I selected Leo to watch my dog Atlas overnight, since I was attending a wedding closeby. Leo was always very responsive and flexible. I love that he sent updates and pictures throughout the evening and the next morning. Atlas had no problem staying with Leo and I would definitely book him again!”
“Heather is outstanding as always. My dog is so attached to me and hates to be left with others, but when I picked her up this time, she clearly could not decide if she wanted to go with me or stay with Heather! Four paws up from Moon!”
About: Having had dogs of my own throughout my life, I know how much our pets truly become part of the family. I am excited to care for and love a dog while giving them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I'll treat your dog like they’re one of our own! I am happy to follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Working from home provides plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time! I can easily take them out for regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime, while also giving them lots of love and cuddles throughout the day. I love having a furry companion around while I work! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Since I work from home, I’m able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
“Debbie was a phenomenal dog sitter. She went above and beyond with caring for our pitty mix, Miss Piggy. Miss Piggy needed twice daily oral meds for a heart condition and can be a bit sneaky and stubborn about spitting out her meds. Debbie handled her with no issues and lots of love. She was also amazing at communication sending texts and pics multiple times a day to keep us informed of their daily activities. It is always hard when Miss piggy can’t join us on family trips but we all really appreciated the regular pictures. My daughter in particular loved the daily reminders that Piggy was well taken and receiving just as much love and attention as she would at home. We will absolutely contact Debbie again for all our future dog sitting needs.”
“Will definitely rebook with Stephen and Cecilia. My pup was well taken care of and they were great with communication, photos, and updates. Thanks so much you guys!”
“Kira and Steve were terrific looking after our dog. They are professional, very accommodating, with great communication and clearly love dogs. Will definitely be using again.”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“Natalie was great. My dog requires special attention and care and Natalie definitely provided both. Based on the pictures and from when I picked her up, my dog was happy, comfortable, and treated wonderfully. Highly recommend Natalie!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Peggy! She responded to our request right away, was very communicative, and really showed that she wanted to make sure everything went smoothly with Lexi. Lexi loved her stay and Peggy even sent photos throughout the day. Highly recommend her!”
“Julie watched our dog Winnie for a week while we were in Ohio, and she was absolutely great. She was very personable, kept us updated the whole time on how Winnie was doing, and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. I was a little worried because Winnie can be a lot to handle sometimes, but Julie did amazing with her and Winnie clearly loved her. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Dana did a fantastic job with Huckleberry and made him very comfortable during his stay, including trips to the park and a bath. He even replaced a leash that was broken during his stay!”
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and had the privilege of fostering several dogs while living in Rwanda for 2 years. This past May, we unexpectedly lost our beloved 11-year-old dog. She was so much more than a pet—she was truly a member of our family and had grown up alongside our children, ages 9 and 6. We’re not quite ready to fill the space she left behind, so we thought Rover might be a wonderful way to spend time with dogs again while giving another family peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for and loved. Your dog is allowed on our furniture and has access to a large fenced in yard! Our dog was fear aggressive and we were unable to utilize a boarding facility. We can sympathize that leaving your dog can be difficult. We’ll treat them like one of our own—with lots of affection, patience, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Having fostered dogs with very different personalities and backgrounds, we know that every dog has their own needs, quirks, and way of showing love. We’d love to welcome your dog into our home and give them the same love and care we’ve always given our own. Note: For the comfort and safety of your pup, we only care for dogs from one family at a time. We’re happy to accommodate two dogs from the same family, but we do not mix dogs from different households during the same stay. I work in healthcare on Monday and Wednesday evenings. On these days, I leave for work at 12pm and Patrick is home by 2:30pm. On Saturdays, I work a 12 hour shift and Patrick is home with our children. Our family does have occasional evening or weekend commitments for our children’s sports/activities, but these are typically short outings, and we are rarely away from home for more than four hours at a time. We’re happy to work with you to make sure your dog’s routine and needs fit comfortably into our schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule the majority of the week, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate a dog who needs more frequent potty breaks or simply prefers not to be alone for long periods (we've been there). We have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run to their heart's content. We will respect your wishes regarding your preferences for staying off of furniture, sleeping in a crate, etc. That said, your dog is welcome to sleep in our bed, lounge on the couch and take a snooze on our deck.
“Emily was great with our dog shichon Gizmo. We usually leave him with family but since that wasn’t possible this time we searched out a sitter. It can be hard when you have a small dog to find a good fit and someone you trust to take care of him. We met up prior to our trip and she seemed really knowledgeable and genuinely interested in our dog and his needs. He seemed to get along well with her adorable dog as well so was a good match. He tends to like a home with only one or two other dogs or he gets overwhelmed. She sent us pics of him on a walk and playing and be looked happy and to be having fun! I felt so relieved! I will definitely be using Emily again in the future and highly recommend!”

We definitely lucked out finding Lyndsey & Evan!! They welcomed us and our boys (Pepper &Jack) with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement! I could tell immediately my boys felt right at home with them. I also felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them. They got multiple walks a day, endless playtime and cuddles. Thank you Lyndsey & Evan…We will see you again for sure 👍
Seneca had a wonderful time with Christine and her family! He was smiling in all the pictures she shared with us every day, in fact he looked so happy we were not sure he would want to come home! Thank you Christine for taking such great care of our little man! Seneca hopes to spend another vacation week with you soon.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in South Walpole can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Walpole home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Walpole.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Walpole. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your South Walpole sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
