“Veronica is such a sweet caretaker. My dog is pretty anxious but Veronica handles her with so much patience and grace. I can tell she’s an awesome dog mom who is understanding and loving towards other dogs. She’s a great communicator as well!”
“Nina is easily the most amazing sitter! Our 2 Corgis and cat love whenever they are visited by her! Our vacation anxiety is cured by knowing our pets are in good hands.”
“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.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. 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.
“This is out second booking with Cheryl, this time for a full week of visits, and she was excellent! She treats my pets like her own and genuinely cares for them. We received plenty of pictures and detailed updates after each visit. My family and I definitely could sleep easier being away from our pets knowing they were in her great care!”
“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 !”
“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.”
“Angela came in super clutch with Christmas coverage and gave great updates, spent lots of time with our boy, made sure he got his meds and took great pics ! Would 100% book again!”
“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!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!”
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.
“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.”
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
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!
“My overall experience with Karline was great. She was very communicative and responsive immediately. Karline took the time to answer questions about the visits and showed an interest in my dogs need. I received pictures and updates after each visit and she showed up on time everyday. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren was so easy to work with, she communicated well and her visits went exactly as we had discussed. She went above and beyond with her care to make sure my dog had a good walk, ate her food, was comfortable, and felt loved. I would highly recommend Lauren!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
This was our first time working with Nina and we look forward to working with her again. She is friendly, kind and attentive and we felt comfortable that she was a good match for us and with our dog and cat. She responsibly followed our guidance on food and meds which was very important as our dog had suffered a recent injury. We requested and received regular updates on how our little guy's were doing, giving us great peace of mind while we were away. She also sent very cute pictures!
Jillian took such amazing care of my two cats while i was out of country. She was so attentive and caring. She picked up on the smallest things and my cats loved her. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone needed a caring, and compassionate person to watch over your pets.
Courtney is absolutely fantastic with our puppy! She is so thoughtful, patient, and caring, and we always look forward to the wonderful photo updates during her walks. Knowing our puppy is in such great hands gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker
This is the second time I have used Sanela to take care of my diabetic cat Leo and I can’t express how great she is. She is very professional, caring, and communicative. She is very skilled at giving his insulin injections. I highly recommend her to take care of your loved ones
Since I started using Rover, I have been working with Galina to care for my cats. She is a sweet, dedicated, and caring sitter who takes her responsibilities seriously and pays close attention to detail. I will continue looking for Galina's cat-sitting services for my future trips, and I highly recommend you do too.
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. ☺️
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,458 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stoneham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stoneham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
