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.
“Asmahan has been great! She was very understanding that our anxious dog takes a few visits to warm up to new people. She was patient and had great instincts with our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to hire her in the future!”
“longfei and Luning are so helpful taking care my cat. Everything is done professionally and friendly. Most importantly, she seems to be happy. Will definitely recommend!”
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’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals—from turtles and birds to fish and beyond! Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I genuinely love every moment. It’s not just a responsibility for me—it’s pure enjoyment and something I’m truly passionate about. I’m taking online college courses, which means I currently have lots of free time and no major obligations. That gives me the perfect opportunity to focus on providing your pets with all the attention and care they need. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here and happy to help! When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I follow any instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific behavior needs. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel secure and cared for, not just watched. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both pets and their owners, with plenty of love and attention every step of the way!
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”
“Very kind and eager to be a good pet friend to my two cats while I was away. Also conscientious, making sure all was well with a cat who is more shy these days. House was as I left it!”
About: I’m not just a dog lover—I’m a proud dog mom of 9 years! I know how much your pup means to you because I feel the same way about mine. I bring the same care, attention, and love to every walk and drop-in as I do with my own dog, Dobby. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays. So Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be available after 6pm so please feel free to message me if interested. Weekends I am available! When I drop in to care for your pet, I treat your home and your furry friend with the same respect and love I give my own. I always follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I keep things calm and comforting for your pup, so they feel safe and happy.
“Michelle took great care of my cat! She provided a ton of updates with pictures and videos, which was much appreciated since we missed him so much!”
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 have been around dogs all of my life, once I was able to properly hold a leash there was no stopping me from hanging out with our 4-legged furry friends! I am a frequent dog walker for coworkers, friends, and family. I also have dog sat on multiple occasions for coworkers, friends, and family whenever they needed me. Most importantly I rescued a very active and very spoiled French Bulldog 6 years ago and he has made my love for dogs even stronger somehow! As much as I love dogs, I also love cats! I will make friends with any sort of animal if I am able to! I work a hybrid schedule for a corporate office. I am in the office on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and I work from home the other 3 days. Monday, Thursday, Friday I take personal walks on my lunch break as well as after 5pm and would love for a furry friend to join me! Saturdays & Sundays I am open as well! Happy to walk your pup wherever in the neighborhood or area, we'd get out steps in! I have walked dogs in the past ranging from 15lbs, all the way up to 120lbs!
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 10+ years. I’ve had both puppies and kittens, as well as fully grown cats and dogs. I can take care of multiple at a time. I have a dog and 2 cats, so I take my dog out at least 4 times a day with long walks included and have feeding time twice daily for all animals. I have a yard that my dog plays in and there is also a field right across the street from my house that we go to at least 3 times per day as well as longer walks.

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.

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 Hills 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.

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.
