“James is the best!!! Very communicative, provides full run through of activities and behaviors during the visit. He is very loving to the dogs and takes lots of photos and videos! Will 100% book again.”
“Cheryl did a great job caring for my pup Winnie! She had good communication, followed all instructions closely and sent updates with pics at her visits. I would definitely have Cheryl back to watch Winnie in the future!”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! He gave us picture updates and was in prompt touch when one of our kitties puked during one of his visits. Thank you for being a great pet-sitter!”
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
About: I’m a musician, violin teacher, pet sitter and dog walker. I love and respect all living beings. I grew up with pets my whole life, at some point I had 8 dogs, 4 cats and 1 duck all at the same time! I understand pets and connect with dogs so easily my husband calls me “The Dog Whisperer”. One of my dreams is to build a sanctuary for rescue dogs in the country side. I currently don’t have a yard of my own but I live near big parks, fenced playgrounds and hiking trails that I can walk to and visit with your dog. I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker and I’ll be happy to provide loving care, excercise and attention to your pet! I currently work from home and I also walk other dogs around the neighborhood. There’s days I’m home all day and others that I leave the house for an hour or two at a time to run an errand or walk a dog in the neighborhood. Having pets my whole life I’m aware of all the hazards and safety measures to take around them. I always double/triple check that the doors are locked behind me, I’m attentive and keep an eye on the pets I’m sitting. I live with family and we all look after each other. Everyone at my place loves animals and we all love having pets around!
About: Ive taken care of dogs most of my life and owned one for 6 years. I’ve walked dogs big and small and my own has given me great experience with reactive dogs. I once worked as a kennel attendant for a local animal hospital which gave me experience with lots of different breeds and special feeding needs. I work full time so I am available evenings during the week, and anytime on the weekends when I’m not with my own furry friend I wont be offering any in home pet care services at this time. I live in a small apartment unit with a medium size dog
“Sanela is a very responsive cat sitter and goes above and beyond. Our cat seemed ok at initial meeting but for the second visit our cat Beans was mean toward Sanela. It’s unfortunate but cats are cats, Sanela still stayed and gave her treats and shared photos.”
“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
“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.”
About: I was born in small village around mountains. We had different kinds of pets since I was young girl. We had rabbits, cats, and dogs. I loved to play, feed and take care of them. I’m currently limited having pets by only the apartment I live otherwise I would have at least two of them. For sure! I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve been around both cats and dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for animals. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box cleaning to giving medications and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has a different personality — some are super social and energetic, while others are more shy or independent — and I’m good at adapting to what makes them feel most relaxed. Whether your pet loves attention or just needs a calm, reliable presence, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I live at The Devon at Weiss Farm, so I’m conveniently located for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care in the area. Because I’m not tied to a strict office schedule, I’m able to be flexible with visit times and make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. During drop-ins, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and company. For walks, I’m attentive, keep dogs safely leashed, and adjust to their energy level and pace. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Stoneham is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Sanela was such a wonderful caretaker of not only my beloved cats but also my garden during an insane heatwave while she was cat seating. She was communicative, shared a lot of information about how my cats were doing and she played with them so much I know they were happy and taken care of during my time away.
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
Olivia was an amazing sitter for the cats! Sent lots of pictures and videos, and I appreciated how thoughtful Olivia was with giving the cats the care, attention, and playtime that they needed! Olivia is personable and a great communicator. We would totally rebook 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.
Dalia is an exceptionally responsible and detail-oriented person. She is very kind and caring with dogs, and often goes above and beyond expectations by taking on extra work. She is highly reliable, and I strongly recommend her. I will definitely continue working with Dalia in the future.
Galina was incredibly helpful and accommodating with the booking process! She left our place exactly the way it was and followed all the care instructions for my cat perfectly. She also made sure he got plenty of much-needed playtime while I was away and sent a ton of cute photo updates! I will definitely book Galina again in the future.
Maude was so wonderful and did a fantastic job watching our two cats while we were away. Her daily updates and great communication made us feel more than comfortable while we could focus on a relaxing vacation. I'd absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Maude!

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.

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.
