About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Caroline is an amazing cat sitter. She took care of my cat, made her feel safe, fed her and kept her area clean. She made the whole experience great. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”


“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”

About: I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years, and am well versed in caring for dogs and cats of all ages and degrees of health. I have also worked in shelters, and have 4 dogs of my own including 2 German Shepards, a pit-bull, and a golden, so I am comfortable about dogs of all temperaments. I am currently working with flexible hours, mostly from home. I am available most hours and can work around your schedule. I am more than happy to plan my day around the needs of your pet! I am familiar with how to introduce myself to a pet in their own environment in order to build their trust and leave them at ease. I am happy to follow any instruction on crating or other requests to ensure your pet is safe.
“Wendy is kind and trustworthy. She took the time to get to know my dog and made sure she was comfortable at the first visit. My dog is a unique breed so I really appreciated the patience. She was very professional!”


About: Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and had one of my own until recently. Having dogs in my lives has brought me immense joy! I will treat and care for your dog as if they were a part of my family. I am very reliable and responsible, and I have transportation available for pick-up and drop-off if needed. I would be delighted to take care of your pet! I work from home most of the times and have a pretty flexible schedule! I usually walk my in the morning and before sunset every day, each around 30 minutes, but could increase the frequency if your dog needed! I have a fenced yard, and there are 2 dog parks near my house, I usually let my dog plays there. The dogs in the park I meet are all super friendly! Besides, I have plenty of toys and treats in the house.
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”

“Charlene once again proved why she’s the only person we trust to care for our cat while we travel. During our recent trip to California to visit our son, she made sure our cat had consistent companionship, attention, and care throughout our time away. After years of using her services, we’ve come to rely on her not just for the essentials like food, water, and litter box maintenance, but for the genuine warmth and attentiveness she brings to every visit. Knowing our cat is in such loving hands makes it so much easier to be away and fully enjoy time with family. We can’t recommend Charlene highly enough.”


About: I am new to Rover, but I grew up with both cats and dogs and genuinely love both equally. As I’ve gotten older and needed pet sitters of my own, I appreciate the trust that goes into making sure your pet is taken care of while you’re not home. I recently made a career shift from medical device sales to pursuing veterinary medicine as this is something I’m passionate about. Your pets will get the same care and attention to detail that I give my own. I’m going back to school so I have a good amount of flexibility. I’m here to help make sure your pet stays on as close to a normal schedule as possible! I appreciate detailed instructions and the most important thing to me is making sure I give your pet exactly what you need me to give them. Need the food weighed and some meds administered? Got it. Need me to sprint around with them so they can burn some energy? No problem. Whatever you need from me, no matter how unique the request may be to you, I’ve got it.
“Lucy was amazing!!! She sent us the cutest and funnies pics and left us the most amazing summary of her visit with our girl! Her communication is amazing and I had peace of mind knowing she was watching Juno! Lucy goes above and beyond and I can’t recommend her more to watch your fur babies!”


“Sam is great! She watched our oldest kitten when he was just a few months old, and again now that we have two! Our oldest loves playing with her and hanging out, and though our second is a little shy, she did manage to come out at the end of the visit. Sam is reliable and has great communication. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner of two, I’m very familiar with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also looked after two medium-to-large dogs for friends. This included feeding, walks, playtime, providing companionship, and making sure they stayed on their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide patient, attentive, and loving care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life as I care for my two cats. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure they get the attention and care they need. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed (including litter box cleaning for cats), provide playtime, affection, and companionship, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications (if needed), or your pet’s preferences.
About: I’m an experienced animal-care professional with hands-on experience supporting the daily care and facility operations of a high-volume rescue housing more than 100 dogs. My responsibilities included coordinating feeding schedules and outdoor rotations, maintaining clean and safe environments, assisting with dog handling, and helping prospective adopters during meet-and-greets. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, energy level, and routine. I prioritize safe handling, patience, clear communication, and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, while always being honest about whether a particular pet is a good match for my experience. I recently moved to Natick and am available for local dog walks and drop-in visits. I will provide dependable arrival updates, photos, and a detailed report after every visit so you know how your pet is doing. I currently have a flexible, open schedule and am available throughout the week for daytime and early evening visits. I plan to continue offering dog walks and drop-in care alongside my future work schedule. I provide care in and around each client’s home, following the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and household access. I prioritize safe handling, secure leashes and doors, clear communication, and detailed photo updates after each visit.
“Juyeon was so kind to my cat while I was away for a few days, was great at communicating, and very flexible. When I extended my trip last minute, Juyeon was able to come for another two visits! I definitely recommend Juyeon!”

“Emily took care of our cat like she was her own while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsive, gave us regular updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. We came home to a very happy cat—and a spotless home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.”
“Mara ~ Has been working with our pug puppy, Kiwi for over a month now. Helping her to be socialized and to learn how to feel comfortable around others. Mara has a calming presence & has patiently worked with Kiwi. I'm grateful for Mara's willingness to listen to and follow specific direction. Her flexibility and responsiveness are also appreciated. Mara has earned our trust, and her reliability has given us confidence that Kiwi is in good hands with her care.”

It was great to have TJ looking after our cats. He was very communicative and prompt, we felt like they were in great hands while on our trip. He was patient with one of cats that can be a little skittish and he was great with our older cat that needs a little more attention. We will definitely use TJ again and recommend him.

Devon took such wonderful care of Dutton and Ranch again! She always goes above and beyond and gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cares so much about our cats. We always come home to happy, well cared for pets and couldn’t recommend her more.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wellesley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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, don’t 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellesley. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
