About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
“Kerri is extremely flexible and wonderful with our pup. She is patient and kind. Our pup is the happiest to see her! She is definitely our go-to person to entrust our pup’s care !”
“Cheryl is WONDERFUL. She is caring, attentive, and clearly loves her work. I felt so at ease leaving my fur baby in her care, and she made sure he was well taken care of down to the last detail. Would highly recommend!”
“Tom was great! He came by our house per our request to meet us and our dog a few days prior to the appointment. He was very communicative and left us lots of pictures during his visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Always a life saver! Elisangela has not only taken amazing care of our cat Rudy on several occasions, but worked with us on scheduling, rescheduling and stepping in last minute when we've needed help. Amazing and cannot recommend enough!”
“Kathryne took excellent care of our 2 dogs and at last-minute notice! She was very responsive to messages and flexible when there was a slight schedule change. Would not hesitate to book again!”
“Page was an AMAZING pet sitter for our two cats. She was so prompt and helpful when we first established service, and even came over once before our trip to get acquainted with our cats and see our supplies. She always texted before she came over, took awesome photos, followed our care instructions exactly, and even went above and beyond! Since we were away for a while, she swept up and wiped down surfaces occasionally to keep our cats comfortable. We will absolutely be booking with her again and wish we had found her sooner! Thank you so much again Page for your stellar work :)”
“Frances was great and flexible! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to all of my requests of getting more photos, leaving notes, pick up/drop off keys etc. I would recommend her to take care of any of your furry friends!”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Bonnie was incredibly caring towards our senior cat, especially as she had an episode of lack of appetite and nausea. She was also understanding about schedule changes as we worked to stabilize our Leeloo back to normal. I recommend Bonnie for those who would like attentive care, especially for CKD cats!”
“This is the second time I have booked with Heather. She is very communicative and thorough, and always asks if there’s anything else she can do. My cat Aspen loves the play time she gets when Heather visits. I feel much better being out of town knowing that Heather will look out for her.”
“Jillian took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She took extra time to make sure my cat was OK after he ate too quickly and vomited his food, and reached out to offer extra assistance if he needed it. I will definitely rebook with her the next time I need a cat sitter.”
“My cats are typically shy and don't like my friends or extended family, but somehow they absolutely adore Charlene. When I get home from vacation, they still wait at the door for Charlene because they want her to visit them all the time!”
About: I’ve been loving and caring for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors always rely on me to drop in, feed, and play with their pets while they're away. I have plenty of experience with all ages, from tiny puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I love keeping pets active with fun enrichment games and can even help teach them new tricks!

Since I work a steady 9-5 schedule during the week, your pet will enjoy a wonderful, predictable routine! We kick off our days with an energetic morning walk so they can completely relax, and I love setting them up with fun puzzle toys to keep their minds active. As soon as I'm off the clock, my full attention shifts right back to them for dinner, an evening walk, and plenty of couch cuddles.When the weekend hits, I am completely free! This is when we dive into longer adventures, extra-long walks, and much more enriching activities to really spoil your furry friend. It’s a loving, consistent rhythm that keeps pets feeling safe, happy, and right at home! When I’m staying at or visiting your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. During the week, they’ll enjoy a predictable schedule with fun morning and evening walks, plenty of attention, and brain-boosting puzzle toys during the day.

I’ll send you plenty of cute photo updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands!
“Joshua was great, responsible, proactive, attentive and respectful. We really appreciate him watching Riley on such short notice. Would love to have him watch Riley again in the future. Thank you!”
“Can I give ten stars?? I am so happy we had James to look after our kitty while we were on a rare family vacation! The daily updates and the many pictures and videos were wonderful and made us know right from the start that we had the right person. I 100% recommend James for any pet-sitting job. Ray is happy we're back, but I can see he misses James now!! Thank you, James - you are awesome!”

Leyna did a fantastic job looking after our adorable cat, Luna! My partner and I were nervous because it was the first time we used a sitter that was not a family member, but our worries were instantly swept aside once we met Leyna. She is kind, professional, detail-oriented, and clearly loves animals. From our first meet-up, Luna took to Leyna and based on the adorable photos that were sent each visit, Luna only continued to feel more comfortable with her. Leyna also followed all of our instructions for care and was proactive about asking questions before we left on our trip to make sure she understood everything clearly. I would highly recommend Leyna for anyone looking for a pet sitter. ☺️
Jillian took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She took extra time to make sure my cat was OK after he ate too quickly and vomited his food, and reached out to offer extra assistance if he needed it. I will definitely rebook with her the next time I need a cat sitter.
Grace has been amazing to work with! She has been incredibly flexible and accommodating, which has made everything so easy. Finn is reactive, so we were naturally nervous about leaving him with someone new, but he absolutely loves Grace. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s so comfortable with her. Grace is kind, patient, and truly cares about Finn. She communicates with us so well, always keeps us updated, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and well cared for. We are so grateful we found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Grace, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Leone received! Thank you for taking such great care of him, making sure he was fed, and spending time playing with him while we were away. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, and I will absolutely use you again in the future!
Yuzhou was my first pet sitter on Rover, and I know I hit the jackpot. She reliably kept to the schedule, did daily feedings and litter cleaning, but what really impressed me was her notes each day. I could tell that Yuzhou was connecting with my cat, asking me questions along the way, and absolutely won both our hearts ❤️ I highly recommend Yuzhou and will book with her again
We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.

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 Stoneham 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.

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.
