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.
“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: 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.
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!
“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: 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!
“Hannah was great at communicating and sent awesome pics of howie. I asked her to check on him because I was afraid he was not feeling well and she happily supplied a report.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cat Bernie for 3 days. We always worry about leaving him with a pet sitter because he can be shy and skittish and doesn't always warm up to people he doesn't know. Elizabeth has the magic touch because Bernie was always (and immediately!) happy to see her and even came out to play. When we got back, Bernie was happy, well-adjusted and his usual goofy self. Definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking a reliable, friendly and professional pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Showed up on time, was kind to our property and our pup. Sent pictures of the pup playing and notified of arrival and completeness of the visit. Felt very comfortable that our pup had a great time and that he was cared for lovingly! Thank you.”
“Wendy took fantastic care of our cat, Tess! She was great about keeping us posted and made sure Tess had everything she needed while we were away. We’d definitely ask Wendy to take care of Tess again!”
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: Please read through my profile before reaching out to make sure we sound like the perfect fit. I require a meet and greet for all new clients! Sometimes it’s hard to find time between kids/dogs/life so I recommend reaching out as early as possible. I think it’s very important to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking! Hi! My name is Jenn and I am a stay at home mom with two daughters. I want to share a little about our family and what your pup can expect during a stay in our home! Leaving our beloved pets in the care of someone else can be stressful. I have definitely shed a few tears when leaving my dogs in the care of someone else! I take this into account when caring for someone else’s pet. Your dog will receive a warm and happy welcome into our home as I treat each and every doggy guest exactly how I expected my dogs to be treated. Take comfort in knowing that I will care of your dogs as if they were my own. They will receive as much love and attention as they want or need. I am home most of the day with the exception of a few dogs walks and driving my children to their activities. My husband works remotely and is typically home during the day. Your pup will never be left alone for extended periods of time. We have two daughters aged 11 and 8 who are dog lovers and big helpers! They share a love of animals with their Mama. There are a few important details to read over. I love all dogs but not all dogs are the perfect fit for our home and vice versa. Please read below. 1. Your dog MUST like children. As previously mentioned I have two daughters who are excited to snuggle and love your dog! If your pup isn’t a fan of kids then our home will not be a good fit. 2. Your dog MUST like dogs. We have a resident dog and often have a boarder or two. If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs then our home will not be a good fit. 3. I require a meet and greet before any stay. I want you to feel at ease when leaving your dog in my care. 4. I only accept potty trained dogs and offer many potty breaks/walks throughout the day. If your dog is a marker then they will not be allowed to roam free in our home and I will need to use a belly band. I take pride in our home and want it to stay clean and comfortable for my family and our doggy guests. Accidents happen but consistent marking is not ok. If use of a belly band/doggie diaper is necessary I will of course let you know. 5. Crate trained dogs only. By this I mean no barking or excessive whining . My husband works from home and is on calls during the day and we have children that need to sleep! If your dog is not crate trained and barks/whines someone will be called to pick you dog up! I have had people lie before which is why I am a stickler! Thanks for understanding! 6. We DO NOT have a fenced in back yard. We take take the dogs on frequent walks and and they get many potty breaks throughout the day! My husband loves hiking and enjoys taking the dogs on his adventures. The dogs play with one another and my girls love engaging the pups in play! You may end up with a picture of your dog dressed in a princess dress or attending a tea party. 7. Please make sure your dog is utd on all shots and flea/tick prevention. If you can send me copies of their vaccination records that is most helpful. 8. Please take note that my holiday rates are higher than my nightly rates. I fill up quickly for holidays as I only take 1-2 dogs over major holidays. 9. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times and will ask the day before or day of for an estimated time of arrival. I have found it’s easier on the dogs if drop off is earlier in the day. That way they can spend time acclimating to our family. Promptness is appreciated and I cannot wait around for you. 10. Excessive barkers need not apply! Occasionally barking at delivery people is expected but constant barking isn’t acceptable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I want your dog to be comfortable in our home. We truly enjoy spending time with all different dogs and they will love being with us! I’m am fortunate to be a SAHM and have all the time in the world to spend with your dog. We typically feed the dogs breakfast and give them their first potty break around 6:30/7:00 AM. We will take a morning/early afternoon walk and then have dinner around 5:30/6:00. The last potty break around 10:00/10:30 then off to bed! Potty breaks and additional walks are offered throughout the day as needed. Your dog will be loved, snuggled, payed with, walked, and tired out at the end of everyday. I will send you videos and pictures and you can call/message whenever you want!
About: I had a beloved 80lb boxer named Griffey for 10 years. He was a great dog with a lot of energy, and the perfect big brother to my 3 little children. I have walked family and friends’ dogs in the past and decided to open up my services to others. I am a stay at home with 3 kids in elementary school. It’s been a few years since Griffey’s passing and I miss that puppy interaction! I would love to take your dog for a walk or enjoy some outdoor play in your yard. Any week day 9am-3pm. I will enter a home with care as if it was my own. My main focus is caring for your pet while they enjoy some fresh air and exercise during the day. I understand the working day can be tough so I am flexible with weekdays and times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Walpole
Kimberly took such wonderful care of our Bernese Mountain Dog, Calvin, while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. She truly went above and beyond. Our Farmer’s Dog delivery arrived earlier than expected while we were gone, and she took the time to unpack it, rotate the food, and restock everything for us. That was incredibly thoughtful and made coming home so much easier. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Calvin absolutely loved spending time with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kimberly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!
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.

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
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
