“Millie absolutely adored Magnoly. She was such a great sitter for our pup, extra communicative and attentive and went out of her way to do a meet and greet. We really appreciate her support and can’t say enough good things!!”
“Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Jennifer! She took care of our cat, Hudson, while we were away, and she was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Her thoughtful updates were adorable and reassured us that Hudson was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Hudson feel comfortable and at ease during our absence. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again in the future! Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had a passion for animals, which I have actively pursued through animal care work and volunteering. These experiences have taught me the importance of having a safe, clean, loving, and happy environment for all animals! I currently have open availability, I am available on demanding hours such as; weekends, weekdays, holidays, and long hours. I have no problem with transportation, and can show up when needed! I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs at home. I also have animal daycare experience and can easily prioritize the safety and well being of all animals!
About: I’ve shared my home with animals since I was a little kid, including two large Rottweiler dogs, three Yorkies, and even two cats. That means I’m comfortable with every size and personality, from strong, powerful dogs who need confident handling to tiny, spirited dogs who need extra gentleness. I understand dog body language, I’m patient with nervous pets, and I’m happy to follow your routine for feeding, walks, and playing! Pet care fits well into my routine because I am mostly home during the week. I’m usually available for: • morning/evening walks • morning, midday, evening check-ins Your pet won’t be left alone during visits , and I’ll stick to the schedule you already use. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I’ll treat your home with respect and lock up behind me, keep doors and gates secured, and always use a leash on walks. Having raised large dogs, I know how to handle strong pullers safely, and having raised small dogs and cats, I know how to keep little ones from slipping out. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet at your home first. I can send updates during each visit and i'll leave your home as I found it.
“Catherine was wonderful to my kitties and a joy to work with. She’s reliable and resourceful even when my locks were finicky. She went above and beyond to care for my long haired cats, and I am so grateful to her.”
“My Jet had an amazing experience, able to respond to commands even though he doesn’t speak English. We’re French Canadian and so his commands are in French but Beatrix took the time to learn them and made Jet feel comfortable”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.
“Amanda is amazing!! We have booked her a few times now to check in on our cats while we are away. She is super flexible, friendly, and willing to help in any way. On one occasion I had to travel unexpectedly while one of my babies was recovering from surgery and she went above and beyond to make sure that he was comfortable and healing well. Will 100% be booking again”
“Dayanara did an excellent job taking care of Cora. She followed directions and sent me pictures as well. She delivers such a great service. The Meet and Greet was very professional and she even brought some treats and toys. I was very impressed. Daya cleaned up a bit as well and I came home to a well organized living room. Cora and I are very thankful. I’m definitely going to rebook with her. Thanks Daya!”
“Jordin is absolutely amazing! Our dog can be a little particular with his daily schedule, how he eats, how he goes to the bathroom, etc. She has tackled his pickiness without issue and she has become one of his favorite people to see. Jordin is and probably will continue to be one of our main go to sitters in the future.”
About: I’ve had furries since I was 4, dogs, cats, fishes! I believe all dogs and cats deserve to be treated with love compassion and attention no matter the size, breed, or species. I will love your pet like it’s mine and make them feel as comfortable as possible so you and your furry can have calm, fun and comfortable getaway! I work a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time for the weekend all day long and doggy care/drop in visits/house sittings after 2pm I am available to take care of your furry at your home and provide them with the best care as well as attention and exercise!
“Christine took great care of my dog Zoe! She was great for me to work with too: she was great with communication, accommodating of my schedule, and very attentive to the care instructions I gave her. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have lived and taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember! From huskies, to mixed breed, I have had all types of dogs in my life but have had Goldens the last 15 years. I have taken care of puppies and I have had to administer subcutaneous fluids to our aging pup. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my pup, or yours. I am typically home but if not, never more than 10 minutes away. Any dog welcomed to my home will be treated like family and will get the same walks and outside time as our dog. I have a one year golden that loves to play in our fenced in yard and take walks around the neighborhood. He frequently sleeps on our couch and bed, so if you are comfortable with that your dog is welcome to as well! If not, I have no problem keeping dogs off furniture if that’s the preference. I will take the same care of your dog as I do mine.
About: I’ve owned a dog for 14 years and also have worked as a dog walker on Wag for a few years now! I love to walk and play with dogs. They have been my favorite animal for a long time. I volunteer for the MSPCA and I just love animals! I’ve walked dogs of several sizes and I am comfortable with most sizes. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’m also very experienced with house sitting. I have a garden of my own and understand the care and gentleness that comes with owning plants. I also have taken care of cats and other animals, so they are not a problem for me! I would be delighted to work with your furry friend or take care of your home while you’re away I work part time, so dog walking or house sitting will fit perfectly in my schedule! I like to spend my free time walking outside to enjoy the fresh air and get exercise, so walking your dog will be a breeze! I take the utmost precaution and care when it comes to animals. I follow all instructions given to be sure that your pet will feel safe and comfortable around me

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Boxford
I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.
Jen is so amazing. We trust her implicitly with my animals that have included a 15-year-old dog with medical issues, a fear aggressive rescue dog and two cats that love to try to escape the house. She is extremely communicative and loves the animals as if they are her own. I never worry when I am away and she is taking care of my crew. Can not recommend her highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Boxford is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 pet’s 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 9,694 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Boxford. 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 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.
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.

- 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
