“Sally does such a great job with both our cat and dog. Sally walks our dog weekly and is always on time and super communicative. She’s also super reliable for random drop ins needed for our cat when I am out of town! Highly recommend Sally!”
About: From my experience growing up with dogs, I will adequately walk, feed, and care for medium-small dogs. I have also provided in-home catsitting services while family-friends are away for up to two weeks at a time (feeding, playing, litter). I'm currently a college student in Fairfield, Connecticut. I'm looking for a job in pet care over school breaks in the summer and between semesters in the winter. I do not take animals into my own home so I do not disturb my family or aging dog, but I will gladly care for your pet in the comfort of your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood.
“Emma was super sweet and so helpful. My usual sitter canceled extremely last minute which left me scrambling and Emma was able to help with essentially 12 hours notice. She saved me from having to call out of work. The dogs seemed to love her and she took adorable pictures. Thank you so much for being a lifesaver!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while my path later shifted toward human medicine, my appreciation for animals and caregiving has never changed. Caring for creatures both great and small has always been meaningful to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals. I worked at the Natick Organic Community Farm, where I helped care for farm animals and learned the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness in animal care. I also spent many years helping take care of my grandfather’s English Setter, Posey — including regular walks, feeding, and companionship — especially as my grandfather became less steady on his feet. In addition, I grew up with cats from the age of eight and am very comfortable with feline care, routines, and personalities. I’ve graduated with majors in Biology and French with a minor in Fine Arts and completed the pre-med track at GWU. I live in Wellesley, MA, for my gap year. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. These qualities that are especially important to me as someone pursuing a career in healthcare. I treat every pet as an individual and aim to provide attentive, gentle, and dependable care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I have flexible weekend and weekday availability, easy access to public transportation, and a genuine love for animals. I’m especially happy to help with midday walks, check-ins, and routine care while you’re at work. Specifically, I have free time: Tues: 8am-10am, 3pm-9pm Wed: 8am-11am, 2pm-9pm Thurs: 8am-10am, 3pm-9pm Friday: 8am-9am, 1pm-6pm I prioritize safety, comfort, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or the client’s, I make sure all spaces are secure, litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and check in with owners regularly to keep them updated. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a trustworthy, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I am a teacher ( and mom) with free time this summer and would love to help care for your dog with walks, play time and overnight care. I have my own 3 year old dog who loves to play with other dogs as well ( but she doesn't have to be included in play or an overnight in your home). Until September I have a flexible schedule and am fairly available weekdays and some weekends with notice. I have an active lifestyle and would enjoy long walks with your dog if needed. I am not offering care in my home at this time. That may change in the future and would depend on the specifics of the dog
About: I took care of my dog for 18 years before he passed away in 2022. I have also taken care of other friends dogs so I understand how much time and dedication it takes to care of any dog. I’m an active individual so I can run and play with dogs if needed. I’m willing to travel with your dogs and use my car if they need to taken to any locations. I’m a very patient and will give them the time they deserve. I have experience in giving dogs medication if needed and can attain to any special needs they may have. Overall, there is nothing I wouldn’t be open to in taking care of your dogs! I work as a Middle School Counselor during the Months of September through early June. I will be available to care for your pets weekdays and weekends anytime during the months in of June-August. During the school year I'm available anytime on weekends and after 4pm on weekday evenings. I took my dog on long walks and lots of dog parks.

“Aga is AWESOME, and definitely a dog whisperer!! My usually, clingy, somewhat anxious rescue pup, Buddy had a wonderful drop in visit today, and can hardly wait to head back to Aga's home again soon for his week long vacay❣️”
“Caitlin is amazing!!! She was so loving and caring towards my cats, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away visiting family for a week. I’ve gone through many cat sitters, many of whom I felt like didn’t give my cats enough love during their visits, and I can confidently say that I felt like my cats were very loved and in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Caitlin!! 💕”
“Julia took care of our dogs during the winter holidays. She was just perfect! We got daily reports and cute pictures and by Julia’s messages we could see that the dogs were being super well taken care. Julia went far and beyond even accommodating extra days and making sure that the dogs were eating regularly. I certainly recommend her and will look forward to book her again on our next trip.”
“Sarah was so fantastic with our two dogs! She took the extra time, brought them for a scenic walk, and made sure our girls were taken care of. I will absolutely be using Sarah again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was three years old and trained most of them! I often take care of my sisters one year old Pomeranian and take him to the local dog park and on long walks on the nearby trail! With my full time job as an interior designer, I’m free to spend time with your pup on the weekends and on the Mondays or Fridays that I’m working from home! Unfortunately my apartment does not allow dogs but I can care for your pup at your home! I know every pup is different so I can care for her/him according to how you would like :) I love going for walks so I do not mind taking long walks!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wellesley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Wellesley 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
