“Isabell is great! She came over to let Lyra out while we were gone for the day. Her communication before and during the visit were perfect. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thanks again Kimberly for your great care and attention to our special cat situation. We always feel comfortable that the kitties are well attended to. Thanks for all of your great photos and reports!”
“I can't recommend Teaghan enough! I am a first time Rover user and I was super anxious about it. I had another sitter booked originally but they were flaky so I had to find someone else last minute and Teaghan was sooo easy to work with and accommodating. I am so happy I found her and would definitely use her again in the future :)”
“Hanna provided excellent care for our 2 cats while we went on vacation. Her updates and photos were so thorough, taking time to even track down our shy girl who hides from everyone. Wouldn’t hesitate from recommending Hanna if you need pet care!”
About: I have 2 dogs at home and have taken care of them myself. I let our first one that's a mix breed out after school every day then we'd chill on the couch together and now she's 14 and doing strong and our 5 year old golden retriever is silly but lovable and loves the snow! I'm unemployed but go to the gym every Tuesday 9am-10am and Wednesday 1pm-2pm and volunteer at Golden Opportunities For Independence where they breed golden retrievers to become service dogs, CDC dogs and more and I help take care of the puppies while studying to be a Certified Library Technician. I take my classes online and only one class at a time with all week to watch the video and an accommodation giving me extra time to submit my homework if needed. I usually spend a Thursday at Barnes and Noble/Starbucks studying. I also do OT, PT, and multiple other doctor appointments either virtual or in person. I am a physically disabled person which is why I don't work but have time to hang with furry buddies! I wear a brace on my right leg for support and can’t use my right hand fully after a stroke in 2015 but my left hand is fine, I can talk fine, I do PT, OT and revive Botox in my right hand every 6-9 months. I also struggle to see fully on the right side but my left side is fine and I have years experience of visual impairment since birth. I’m epileptic but after surgery it’s been almost 11 years since my last seizure so I will take care of your dog and have fun with them just like I have fun with mine. I may not be able to drive them places, but we can still have fun at home. We don't have a fence anymore but we have the dogs clipped to a long leash connected to the house and the end of the yard so they can still run around in the back yard. While the 5 year old golden retriever was young we kept her in a crate during the day since no one was home while the mixed breed was older and able to be around the house. If you prefer your dog ig the crate, I'll do that just like my dad does with his bernedoodle every night and when he's not home unless someone like me is there to watch him. If you have a good back yard, I'll gladly take them outside to play for a bit and get some fresh air myself since I go for a walk at least twice a week. Me and dogs have some kind of connection and I love every minute I get with them.
“Wendy was amazing. She went above and beyond with care for our dog and cat. She was timely and communicative. She sent great photos and made us feel our pets were very safe in her care while we were away. We highly recommend her!”
“Isabela is an absolute saint. We’ve had her check in on our cats a few times for extended trips and she’s done amazingly each time. Most recently she unfortunately had to deal with an unexpected serious medical issue with one of our cats and she quickly got him to emergency care and communicated with us throughout. She ensured the house and other cat were also cared for afterwards. We’re so grateful for her help and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
About: I’ve been a dog person my entire life. I grew up with two Wheaten Terriers, helped raise and care for my sister’s Portuguese Water Dog from puppyhood, and now have an 11-year-old Pit Bull mix of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll always follow your instructions and treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I recently moved to the area and am looking forward to exploring the local trails and neighborhoods with some new four-legged friends. My own dog is a senior now, so I’m excited to get back to taking longer walks with dogs who are ready to go! I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. I’m happy to meet beforehand, get to know you and your pup, and make sure you feel completely comfortable with me before your first booking. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. ❤️ I have a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule, often work from home, and make my own hours, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. With enough notice, I’m happy to work around your schedule and accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet-sitting needs whenever I can. I know every dog and family has their own routine, so I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time and find a schedule that works for everyone! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care. I’ll be communicative, respectful, and attentive to your dog’s routine and individual needs, with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also have experience with a reactive dog, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, knowing triggers, and keeping dogs in situations where they feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities!
“Paige was great and the dogs seemed to really like their “play date” with her. Paige sent a detailed report that made us feel at ease. We definitely hope to have Oaige drop in for another visit soon.”

About: We are a family of 4 who love dogs and treat our guests like our own. After our last dog passed a couple of years ago, we’ve enjoyed the occasional pet sitting for our friends so much that we decided to do it more often. Dogs will get plenty of attention, playtime and exercise here. Let us know their needs and we will strive to meet them and make them feel at home. We are available for weekend, extended weekend and occasionally longer stays as a i work from home every Monday and Friday at a minimum. Dogs will be walked whenever needed. We only take 1-2 dogs at a time to ensure that your furry friends get the care and attention they deserve. We strive to accommodate our guests’ needs and make them feel like part of a family while you are away. Our side-walked neighborhood is very safe for dog walks, with great hiking trails nearby if our guests enjoy that as well.
“Elizabeth took excellent care of my cats, Jasper and Daisy, for the weekend. This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover and it was a great experience. Elizabeth was very reliable and sent updates on the cats along with photos which was reassuring. The cats seemed well cared for and happy upon our return. We have Elizabeth booked for a future time!”
“Emily took great care of our 3 pups over 7 days, is super accommodating, flexible with shifting scheduler and super friendly. We returned to happy and healthy pups - highly recommend Emily!”
“As always, Jeff goes above and beyond to take care of Paul. Paul recently had a change in his health a couple weeks prior to our vacation, and Jeff was able to accommodate with medication and monitoring Paul for any changes. We felt calm knowing Paul was in good hands!”
“Lauren has been very responsive throughout the booking process, flexible as our work schedules change, prompt, and most importantly, our puppy loves her! I would highly recommend her for pop in visits and/or walks.”
About: Hello! Welcome to my profile, my name is Fatima. My family and I are huge pet lovers. We currently don’t have any of our own so taking care of yours will make our hearts full! I was personally a fur mom for 13 years, & when my pups went to doggie heaven I have loved helping family members and friends care for their fur babies. I’d be so grateful to care for yours. I’m currently a stay at home mom and we would enjoy the wagging tails throughout our days! Our days consist of indoor and plenty of outdoor time. I have two littles that nap mid day so that’ll definitely be time for one on one cuddles indoor with your fur baby. We live on private property and have a big yard. I am flexible with whatever your needs are for your fur baby, just let me know :)
“Meaghan loves my Archie and treats him as her own. She bakes the best treats and he gobbles them up! She takes such good care of him that I’m blessed to have her as a sitter. (She even removed a tick she found! Now that’s dedication!)”

As always, Jeff goes above and beyond to take care of Paul. Paul recently had a change in his health a couple weeks prior to our vacation, and Jeff was able to accommodate with medication and monitoring Paul for any changes. We felt calm knowing Paul was in good hands!
Zachary took care of our pup Crumbs during the day while we were at work. He was always on time, communicative, and extremely attentive with Crumbs during their visits. Zachary made sure to play with Crumbs and get him exercise outside which we greatly appreciated! We felt extremely comfortable having Zachary take care of him - he is a very trustworthy sitter and we would reach out to him again anytime.

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 South Walpole 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 South Walpole. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
