“I hired Cassie because I was getting put on twelve hour shifts for a week at work which I was already stressed about and then I had to figure out what to do with my dog. Cassie did an amazing job to where I didn’t have to worry about my dog during the day. I would definitely recommend hiring her!”

“Meghan was amazing with our cat! She was very attentive and our cat felt so comfortable around her. She went above and beyond to send detailed updates and tons of pictures. I highly recommend Meghan to care for your fur babies!!”
“Leanne has watched Gus numerous times and each time she does an excellent job! She takes great photos too, we're always impressed with the action shots she's able to take lol. Always happy to have her watch our boy!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be away from the house from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day (depending on where the house is located). I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks, including over winter vacation. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Adelle took great care of our cat! She was kind, communicative, thoughtful, and sent thorough updates and lots of photos after each visit. Our cat was happy and healthy when we returned. Thanks Adelle!”
“We’re so grateful to Allyson, especially since today we had a last minute thing come up and weren’t sure we’d find a reliable Rover in time. But she immediately responded and came through and had a nice walk with Clare!”
About: I'm a musician & nonprofit administrator (WFH) with flexibility in my schedule and a lot of love and care to give! My late dog was reactive and I constantly had to be attuned to her emotional state, so I understand the nuances of dog personalities, though every dog teaches me something new. I have previously fostered dogs as well. I grew up with horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters, and aspired to be an equine vet once upon a time! I am a freelancing musician and also have an admin job - if I am not away traveling, I am almost always home and flexible with my schedule. My home is very quiet, no other pets, and no kids. There are great walking routes nearby including the river, and we can discuss taking your dog for runs or trail outings depending on your dog's training.
“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”
“Lindsay did a wonderful job with my puppy for her second visit here. She is always easy to work with, follows the instructions I leave, and connects so well with my pup. Thanks again!!”
“Kay did a nice job with drop in visits for Ted. She sent plenty of photos with her very detailed updates, and was always very responsive to messages. Will definitely use her services again.”
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.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all personalities, providing dependable and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and in-home pet sitting, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part time as a dog walker Monday-Thursday 9-2. I have availability after 2 or before 9 and I have availability Friday-Sunday all day. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home depending on the service needed. I have 2 dogs of my own so I don’t have the room to board in my own home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waban
Angelica was totally great with my very sensitive pup who was anxious due to a recent move. She came by to meet us first then was very detailed and caring in all her visits and gave thorough accounts. My dog became much calmer. I will hire her again and highly recommend Angelica.
Lily is reliable and attentive. Lily's calm energy matched Burt's high puppy energy. Lily supported and followed the rules, always engaging and asking for clarification to give Burt the best experience. He absolutely adored Lily. Highly recommend having Lily be with your dog.
Kyra did a great job caring for my two cats, sometimes coming twice a day to feed, water and litter. Kyra also gave ear drops to Nike who had an infection. She sent pictures and was in contact, and I think the cats really liked her. I trust her and would certainly book Kyra again.

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 Waban 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.
