“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 have used Cheryl as a sitter for our cat for a few years now and are always so happy and impressed with the care she provides for our girl. She treats our cat like her own pet and makes us feel totally comfortable leaving her in Cheryl's care. Our cat was recently diagnosed with a long term health condition and needs to take twice daily medication and Cheryl was an absolute pro at making sure our cat got all her medicine on time every day. We cannot recommend Cheryl enough to anyone considering a pet sitter and we will definitely be asking her to watch our cat 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!
“Abigail did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Banks. She was thoughtful, timely and truly kind to Banks' needs. I would book her again in a heartbeat to watch over our baby boy. Thank you again!”
“Laura is great and my puppy loves her! Shes great with a pup who’s still learning her manners. Knowing she was coming to hang out with Eloise put my mind at ease when I started going back to the office after adopting her. Definitely recommend!”
“Angela was communicative and very patient with Kiba. In the short time that we had Angela watch him, he began to open up and show more of his personality. We would definitely have her come take of him again :)”
“Don was fantastic with my 9-month old puppy. He is reliable and prompt for the drop in visits. I could tell during the meet & great that my pup already liked him. He fed, walked and even did some training (loose leash walking, stay and come) which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I absolutely loves animals! I have years of experience caring for my friends' dogs and treating them like my own.

I have plenty of time to play with your pups, ensuring your pet always has company and attention. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run freely and securely.

“Paws and crab were well cared for. Suzie had a lot of meds to feed our senior cat. I had wonderful pictures of them playing. This was a twice a day commitment so I was very happy with Suzies time and care. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with dogs and animals around me so would love to continue being around them. Life is boring without them, in our world. I work full time and go to school during the week would love to help people out during the weekend and maybe even weekdays if there is that relationship. I currently am not offering pet sitting at my house because my Roomate is allergic but I can come to the dogs home and care for them.
“Lisa is *incredible*!! This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous about it, but I didn't need to be. Lisa took wonderful care of my Figaro. During the meet and greet, she took notes and asked great questions, and my usually shy Figaro took to her right away. During my trip, Lisa's updates were detailed and she followed Fig's dietary instructions to the letter; she also took lots of photos. I'm incredibly grateful for all the care she took in taking care of my little baby. I will absolutely be booking her again!!”

About: Hi, I’m Anna—it's great to meet you! I'm based in Malden, MA and serve throughout the area; Malden, Everett, Melrose, Somerville, Medford, and more. I have experience with dogs of all kinds—elderly, reactive, big, small, high-energy, and stubborn—and I bring the patience and care needed to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My own dog, Churro, is a reactive rescue, so I truly understand the extra love and support some pups need. I'll treat your dog like my own, with plenty of play, cuddles, and photo updates to keep you in the loop. Feel free to message me with any questions—I'm available most days and happy to help! I work a flexible schedule so with about a weeks notice I can move my schedule around to make room for you. Unfortunately, because I already have a dog in my home I do not bring my clients dogs into my apartment ! All care is done at the clients home. I am available for dog walks or drop in care most early mornings and evenings. My work schedule can be quite flexible so with a week's booking in advance I likely can make anything work. I provide overnight care at the client's home within a few miles of my home, or drop-in walks (potty breaks, 30 min - 1hr+walks, and/or play sessions. I am proactive in ensuring safety of your pet, a pro at navigating reactivity situations, and can follow any special directions you provide me to a T. I do have my own dog at home , so will be coming and going to take care of her as well for any multi day care.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Katina has been a delight and everything I needed. I had knee surgery and needed help feeding my cat, Max, plus he needs insulin injections twice a day. All of that went well because he absolutely loved her. Anyone could feel comfortable knowing their pet is in very capable hands. I feel like we have a new family friend. Karen O'Sullivan
Galina is caring, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her!
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
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. ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
