âKerri 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 pupâs care !â

âLaura is great and my puppy loves her! Shes great with a pup whoâs 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!â

âPaws 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.â
âMy cats are typically shy and don't like my friends or extended family, but somehow they absolutely adore Charlene. When I get home from vacation, they still wait at the door for Charlene because they want her to visit them all the time!â

âFrances was great and flexible! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to all of my requests of getting more photos, leaving notes, pick up/drop off keys etc. I would recommend her to take care of any of your furry friends!â

âKaitlin was great with our two boys! They really enjoyed her dropping in! She made sure Bruno got some play time while our older dog Bundy got to enjoy the sun. She was very responsive and made sure to give us an update. Thank you so much !â

About: I've been taking care of all types of pets for 15 years and give them all the love and comfort they can handle. From puppies to seniors, pet meds administration, etc. Couch potatoes to marathon walkers, all are welcome :) I work from home with a flexible schedule for all types of pet needs, from walks to boarding to house visits. I offer pick up and drop off for your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard with sun/shade and two floors that accommodate all types of pet personalities. They can be together or separate from others.
âRosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldnât have asked for a better first Rover experience.â

âHeather was amazing to work with! She was a huge help walking our dogs while we were away for four weeks. My dogs loved her and she was so kind, taking such good care of both our active 5 year old Frenchie and our senior Frenchie and sending great pictures and updates along the way. Sheâs the best! â¤ď¸â

About: I have had dogs my whole life! I have had numerous jobs caring for and staying in homes to care for pets while families are away. I am currently available for quick visits or even longer stays! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am happy to be of help where/when needed! I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers at home on an electric fence. Happy to discuss your home requirements when it comes to your pup!
About: I absolutely love dogs! I grew up around dogs and gained extensive dog-handling experience throughout college. I've volunteered with three service dog organizations in Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. I volunteered weekly with dogs as young as three months old, including Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Great Danes. I grew up owning pitbulls and I love dogs of any breed! During my volunteering, I was responsible for feeding, socializing, and exercising the dogs, as well as cleaning up after them and sanitizing their areas. I also socialized them in public places and assisted with their training. I've been dogsitting for family and friends since I was in high school, and I am very reliable and considerate. I know how important it is to find someone great to take care of your dog and I'm happy to answer any questions you have! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to any walks or visits. I'm very flexible based on your needs and your dog's schedule. I grew up with dogs so I know how important it is to make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for! I'm careful to leave your home as I found out and safety is my top priority. I respect any house rule (shoes off, lights on, adjust AC, etc.) and ensure your dog is walked, fed, and has enough water before leaving.
âOn time, flexible, responsive, attentive and patient with our dogs, especially our older pup who is slower to warm up to new people. Will hire him again!â

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I canât picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! Itâs a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, itâs a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when Iâm at work heâs able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!
About: Iâve always loved animals and have been caring for pets for years. I have grown up with dogs my entire life! Iâm dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like theyâre my own. Iâm comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. Whether itâs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, Iâll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while youâre away. Iâm responsible, communicative, and happy to follow any special instructions you have. Your petâs comfort and well-being are always my top priority! I work remotely most of the week, with the exception of Tuesdays, which gives me a lot of flexibility to pop in and care for your dog or cat during the day. I love being able to provide pets with attention and companionship throughout the day rather than having them spend long hours alone. When caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. Iâll follow all instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. Iâll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space and individual personalities. Since I work remotely most of the week, I have the flexibility to stop by during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and playtime. Iâll also make sure fresh water is available, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left neat and secure after each visit.
About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! âşď¸ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.

Yuzhou was absolutely perfect in every aspect of my expectations! She gave me really detailed feedback on Junior on every visit, so much so, that it was really obvious she connected with him and seriously cared about how he was doing. Its very important to me that Junior's sitter pays attention to him and it was really obvious that she did. She was very timely and sent really nice photos too.

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 itâs 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.

Once again, Stacey was excellent in cat sitting Turbo. She was regular in reporting her visits and providing excellent pictures to capture Turboâs activities. She reported on his eating habits and his cat box results. She demonstrated that she enjoyed Turbo and loved taking care of him. In sum, she was great. Thanks Stacey.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wakefield is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 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 petâs 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 10,273 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wakefield. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Wakefield. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
