About: I have taken care of my friend’s pets for many many years and have been pet sitting for over 5 years. I am a responsible business owner with a flexible schedule. I value honesty, respect and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I run my own business and work part time, which allows me lots of flexibility for pet and house care. I have full control over my schedule and can make your needs a priority. I have a reliable vehicle and can also do some light cleaning if needed. I am a very clean and responsible adult. I respect people’s spaces and follow direction well. I can’t take animals into my own home so I am excited to spend time with your pets. This pasttime brings me lots of joy.

About: Throughout my childhood and adulthood, I have been surrounded by many types of fur babies. Working with dogs is one of my passions. Being caring and clear is key for training. Although I am financially unable to have my own dog, I am eager to help pet-owners. Message me to talk about your options & get to know your doggo! As a school teacher, I wake up very early and walk around my neighborhood. I end my day in the early afternoon. I go home directly after school, to go on a walk or be active in another way. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine as I am a homebody and can easily accommodate a pet visitor in my tidy home. I have a large yard, covered in grass and kept tidy. I have a run line set-up in the yard for dog visitors to use. I have air conditioning in the summer, and can take a preferred dog bed or crate, if needed. I can Pick Up and Drop Off your doggo, if needed.

“Carlos did a fantastic job caring for our two senior cats, both with medical conditions, while we were away. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. He gave us frequent updates to make sure we knew how our cats were doing. We felt at ease knowing our cats were well cared for and will definitely be asking Carlos back the next time we are away.”

“Anastasia was excellent with our 4-year-old Golden Retriever Sofia! We could tell Sofia was very comfortable with Anastasia and enjoyed spending time with her. Anastasia was attentive to our dog's needs and we were impressed with her professionalism and flexibility, as we booked her twice with less than a 24-hour notice. We look forward to booking with Anastasia again and highly recommend her!”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.

About: I have been taking care of our bull dogs for seven years now. We adopt and had three before our oldest recently passed away. Bull dogs provide quite a bit of high maintenance care such as cleaning all folds multiple times a day, tail pockets, monitoring skin for yeast or allergies and of course… wiping butts after potty time. At least two walks or forms of exercise a day to keep them in shape for their health and breathing issues; if you see my babies photos, they are in super shape! So caring for three I feel shows my love, responsibility, managing skills and understanding of how to properly and lovingly care for pets. For many years now, I have also cared for a variety of my family members dogs and cats, whether that involves feeding, walking/ exercise, over nights, and loving attention. I am Corporate Life Coach & Counselor so I have a flexible schedule that I make myself, in a variety of towns in Massachusetts ( which is why my radius is so big) I also have a rental house in Dennisport MA, so providing pet care in the Cape is an option too! I love my fur-babies and providing love, exercise and quality time is what your pet deserves too! I will be providing services at your household, so any and all safety protocol will be provided that suits you and your pet to the fullest!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years, both professionally and personally. I currently work as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, working with puppies, and recognizing when something just doesn’t seem right. Before working in veterinary medicine, I also did dog sitting and dog walking throughout college, so pet care has been a part of my life for a long time. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a huge animal person and treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. Pet care is already such a natural part of my everyday life that it honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. I have several pets of my own, so my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, medications when needed, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Between caring for my own animals and working professionally as a veterinary technician, looking after pets has become second nature to me. Adding another pet into my routine feels easy and natural rather than like an extra chore. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals, so giving them the attention, exercise, affection, and care they need is something I look forward to rather than something I have to squeeze into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in my own three-bedroom home with a finished basement, so there is plenty of space to give pets their own area, quiet time, or separation when needed. I have two dogs of my own: a smaller senior dog who generally prefers to keep to himself, and a 6-month-old puppy who is crate trained. I’m able to manage introductions carefully and keep dogs separated when appropriate so everyone can stay comfortable and safe. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m very mindful of behavior, stress signals, health changes, and safe handling. I always supervise interactions closely, follow each pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure they have a secure, calm environment while they’re in my care.

About: Hello there! I'm CJ, and I'm here to take care of your pets! I'm a huge dog lover, with 9 years of experience. I have experience with puppies, small, medium, and large-sized dogs. I live in Westford, MA and am willing to travel 15-20 miles to watch your pup. Personally, I have a Yellow Labrador Retriever. I'm very active, outgoing, friendly, and would love to meet your furry pal. I'd go hiking, running (if permitted) and take him/her on various walking trails! I'm available the most on weekends but would be up to dog walking/house sitting on weeknights as well. Hope to hear from you soon, please don't hesitate to reach out! I’m always exercising and being active which fits perfectly into my routine. I look forward to new clients to walk and to incoporate into my schedule. When I take care of pets in my home I make sure they’re always safe, and I have a big fenced in yard for them to play in.

About: I personally love animals and I’ve been taking care of pets since I was around 10-11 years old. I have the most experience with cats and rabbits and fish as I’ve owned a lot of them. Although I’ve never owned one I am well experienced with dogs too as I volunteered at an adoption center and have taken care of my friends dogs many times. I have also worked with birds, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, turtles, frogs, lizards, and farm animals. I am an 19 year old college student and I’m really excited for this opportunity to make some extra money doing what I love. I’m currently working part time and I only go to school 2 days a week, leaving me with plenty of time to take care of your pet. Currently I don’t own any pets, but I have in the past. Im available for overnights on weekends. On weekdays I will most likely be available on afternoons and evenings. The house I’m living in is really spacious and it’s in a compound so there is plenty of space for them to roam around in a large, clean house. For dogs or other outdoor pets there is a large yard out in the back, however it is shared with the compound so it is not fenced. The area/compound itself is really nice, modern, and quiet. It’s a great space to take a walk, especially as the weather cools down. If you need any other information, I can share my contact info and provide pictures of the environment.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Marc was wonderful! He checked in on our two dogs over the past few days and did a great job making sure they were both happy and well cared for. He took the time to play fetch with Rory and made sure Kiera was comfortable and had everything she needed. We really appreciated his attentiveness and care, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Leah was fantastic, flexible, and extremely responsible. She was able to quickly accommodate an earlier visit request and provide us details about the visit.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Stow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Stow is $44 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $45 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 10,290 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stow choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Stow with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stow. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
