About: I am currently a stay at home dog mom while my wife attends OSU Vet School. I have 3+ years experience with my own dogs as well several foster dogs. I recently worked at a shelter where I was a kennel manager, kennel dog caregiver, and foster/adoption coordinator. I have extensive experience care for animals and I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I am comfortable with giving medication, dogs of any size. I don’t mind helping with training reactive dogs on walks or visiting your home a few times if you’re dogs need time to get to know new people. Happy to help with dogs that have some behavioral difficulties. I am currently a stay at home dog mom! That means I have lots to time to spend with your pets! Aside from taking care of my own babies I would love to fill time with fur babies. I am very mindful and aware of my own dogs, their behavior and their needs and I will treat your dogs the same! I will give them my undivided attention and can assure you I will not put them in any situations they will not be successful or safe in.
“Julia did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure the cats (and our home!) were comfortable and clean. She took initiative to adjust the A/C and fans to keep the space comfortable, cleaned up not just the food dishes and litter boxes, but also a surprise hairball, and even swept the floor. Her updates were thorough and reassuring, with sweet touches like hiding toys and checking in on how much each cat ate—she clearly paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs. Julia was communicative, responsible, and kind—and her love for cats really shows. I'm so grateful this was our first experience with her and would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I absolutely adore dogs; To me, my family pets are like my brothers and sisters. I love getting to know a dog, and finding out all their little personality quirks. It makes me genuinely happy to have an animal cuddle up to me at night, or to take them on a nice long walk and see them running around all happy with their tongue hanging out. I adore petting, cuddling, and talking to animals like they’re people, but I’m always aware of and respectful of body language and boundaries; I will never ignore a pet that wants attention, and I will never bother a pet that wants to be left alone, either. Personally, I’m just here to meet lots of cute animals to pet and spoil, and whatever money I can make from it is a nice bonus ☺️ I work remote from my laptop; Usually that means I’m working from home, but I can work from basically anywhere with an internet connection. I’m on my computer intermittently between 9-5, attending infrequent meetings and responding to messages, but I typically have to be at my computer for certain periods of time for <20% of the day; Outside of meetings, I have total flexibility to go on hour+ long walks, play with animals, or take care of chores like cleaning litter boxes and feedings. I am extremely cautious with all pets, but especially other people’s. I will keep a close eye on them whenever they’re with me, whether we’re out and about or just at home. I double check water, food, and litter boxes throughout the day, and do thorough walkthroughs to check for messes if dogs are ever in a different part of the house for me or they are alone for more than an hour. I will be extra careful to only take dogs to trails and parks that I know are safe, and will always keep them away from roads, thin ice, and hunting areas. You’ll also get frequent pictures and videos from me throughout the day so you can be sure your fuzzy family members are safe and happy.
About: I have had a long history of family that takes care of dogs, from training to sitting. My family used to rescue dogs back in Houston, TX where my mother currently has 7 dogs. We care for dogs like their our our children and do strict training and learning skills for our dogs at home. I have had and taken care of all types of breeds such as labs, pits, beagles, boxers, chihuahuas , pugs, schnauzers, and more small to large. I am comfortable with all dogs. I’ve worked with reactive dogs at shelters. Being very athletic helps maintain a consistent activity level with dogs as well as making sure they are very well nourished as far as their nutrition. I used to walk neighborhood dogs often and babysit friends dogs.
“Michelle was so wonderful to our fur babies while we were out of town for a long weekend. She listened to and followed all directions well and catered to the needs of all three of our babies who have very different personalities! It was such a relief to know that they were all being checkin in on with such care during our trip. Michelle sent many photos, videos, and detailed updates after each visit which was very much appreciated. We will 100% book Michelle again!”
About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
“Leah was absolutely wonderful. Took great care of my cat while I was away. Played with her and sent me pictures as well. Highly recommend. The whole process couldn’t have gone any smoother!”
“Sydney was so great! She fit us in to a busy holiday weekend last minute and was very communicative about our two cats--she even cleaned up some vomit (yuck!) and tracked our nervous cats to their hiding places to get pictures for us. Would def recommend!”
About: Here to help animals get those hard to reach itchy spots. I love all animals and enjoy the different types of attitudes and demeanors each one brings. I have had many pets and worked in shelters before so Ive seen animals in all their forms. I work at the office Monday thru Friday 8-4. I however have a lot of flexibility with those hours and location depending on the type of care being sought. I follow the rules and guidance of the owner as closely as possible. They know their pet and how to most safely and compassionately care for them.
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 love animals and caring for them I love playing with them and making sure they are comfortable, happy and healthy pups as they should be. I only work at my other job for two days so I have plenty of time off my week to petsit whether its dogs or cats or any animal at all! I love all animals and consider myself almost an expert on animals. I allow them to feel free to roam anywhere in my home as long as I can see them and my environment is very safe for them and comfortable.
“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.
“Carlos once again did a fantastic job caring for our senior cats. He kept us up to date and ensured our cats had their medicine, special diet, and other needs met. He also took care of mail and packages. We will definitely use Carlos the next time we are away!”

Claudia helped us out last minute which was so appreciated. We weren’t sure of the exact times we would need her to come to the house until the morning of but she was completely flexible and happy to help whenever it was best. We have an anxious little dog so the pictures Claudia sent were reassuring he was doing fine. I would definitely request Claudia’s help again in the future.
Diana is a star! She was great with our 2 pups who can be reactive to new people and her calm, confident demeanor put them at ease almost immediately. Diana is warm, highly skilled at handling big dogs who need special behavioral attention, and even trained the pups during her stay! She’s professional, communicative, and brings lots of good energy. The pups were noticeable calmer and very happy when we returned. Can’t wait to hire Diana again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sudbury is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $36 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 10,824 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sudbury. 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 Sudbury 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 Sudbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
