“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!”
About: I am a full-time working mom with 2 kids, 3 cats and 1 dog. I have years of experience walking, dog/cat sitting for friends, neighbors, family. I couldn't have a dog as a kid b/c we lived in an apartment so the first chance I was able to get my own dog, my husband and I adopted Buttons in 2009 when she was 4 months old and then Marty in 2013 at 10 weeks old. We also have 3 cats, Buttercup, Sox and Murray. We lost our 2 senior cats, Bruschi in 2024 and Seymour in 2019 at 18 and 12 yrs old. My soul dog, Buttons just passed away in March at 15 yrs old and for the last 9 months I administered daily subcutaneous fluids as well as supplements, probiotics, antibiotics on a daily basis to help support her kidney disease. I built her a wheelchair because she had arthritis but loved to walk and turned my old stroller into a dog stroller for her during her last days. I have another senior dog, Marty who is 12 and although doesn't take daily medication is a very anxious guy so learning to adapt and make his life amazing has been a learning curve since Buttons was such a laid back girl. I feel that dogs and cats and animals in general are an important part of your life, they teach us things that humans cannot and I feel that in my soul. I would be humbled to take care of your pets so that you do not have to worry at all. I work from home and typically can get away during a lunch break. I have the summers off and am pretty available during the weekdays. I have a fenced yard, I have experience walking an aggressive, anxious dog as well as a senior dog who needs to go slow and at her own pace. I have cats and am very conscious, even a bit paranoid at times of doors being left open or the window screens not being secure so I am always double checking those things.
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.
“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 :)”
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.
About: Work from home so have lots of time for walks and snuggles! I have extensive dog sitting experience but no pets of my own, so I give your pooch undivided attention! Work from home so very flexible for dog walking as needed. Love the company and happy to have your fur baby sit by me at my desk and remind to get up and go walking on regular intervals! We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of walking options in suburban and town forest settings. I provide feed and treats as instructed. Unlimited hugs and cuddles!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’m the proud owner of a golden. We walk 3-4 miles a day in the woods behind my house. My cousin has my dogs sister and we have weekly play dates to keep them together! My sister also has an American bully and I love breed! He often comes over for sleep overs and he is my best running buddy! Pet care is extremely important to me! I start my day with play time and long walks! I also think it is very important to keep my dog socialized I put her in daycare once a week to keep her comfortable with all dogs. My day always end with play time typically fetch outside and snuggles on the couch! My dog Rollie is my best friend. I work from home 2 days a week and either my husband or I are home early the other days. This allows for a lot of working from the deck sitting in the sun! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I would love to set up a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other. Looking forward to adding a friend for Rollie on our nature walks!
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Isabell went above and beyond with our two cats. She was always communicative about any scheduling changes and sent a bunch of photos and videos, outside of the ones included with the daily Rover Card. This was our first time using a pet sitter, outside of family, and she exceeded our expectations. She was patient with our cats and gained their trust and affection, which is hard as they are generally shy with strangers. I would highly recommend her and hope she is still around the next time we choose to travel as our cats grew fond of her.”
“We have 3 older cats (2 with some health issues and meds), so leaving them for 10 days made me a little nervous. Kimberly did a great job with them! The pictures she sent everyday provided such a sense of comfort, as did all of her communications about any of the small issues we've come to expect with our cats. I really felt that she was able to handle everything very well. Made our vacation so much more enjoyable! Thank you Kimberly, we'll call again!”
“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!”
“Isabela did a great job taking care of our elderly kitty (18 years old) and was very quick with her responses. She made sure she got everything she needed and was amazing with sending pictures from each visit!”
“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!)”
About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with my own family dog, whom I helped raise from a puppy through every stage of life. I was involved in daily walks, feeding, basic training, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention- he became my best friend. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve completed overnight dog sitting for two different families, staying for a full week while they were away. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, refilling water, letting the dogs out for bathroom breaks, maintaining their routines, providing companionship, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable while their owners were gone. I recently graduated college, so as I am making my transition at home from schooling to career, I have free time on my hands to help out! I am active, I go on long daily walks anyways, and can fit them into my schedule of kickboxing, career searching, babysitting etc. In the pups environment at home, I be sure to play with them inside and outside, take them on walks and make sure they are fed!

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.
