“Excellent service and impressive responsibility. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Chelsea come again the next time we are out of town, and you shouldn’t either. You can tell that she enjoys the job and puts the utmost care into every pet she looks after!”
“Eko & Sarah were amazing at watching my cats and giving oral medications. I had to book on short notice and they were great to work with in planning their visits and understanding our pets’ routines. I would book them again!”
About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic, owned some pets, so I'm comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.
About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.
“Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.”
“Ben was fantastic with my reclusive senior kitty; I felt very secure knowing that he was checking in each day and sending updates. My cat was happy as a clam when I got home. I’ll definitely call Ben again in the future when I go on vacation!”
“Jessica is the best! I have used her a couple of times to care for my cat while I’m away. She is very communicative, takes great care of my cat, and goes the extra mile to take packages inside without even being asked. Jessica is great and any pet in her care will be well taken care of. Thanks Jessica!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, which gave me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. Today, I’m the proud mother of two cats, and I regularly care for friends and family’s cats and dogs while they’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion, I’m happy to provide the care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s feeding schedule, medication schedule, walks, or other routines. While I do have occasional meetings throughout the day, I’m able to plan my schedule to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment! My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing everything is being cared for while you’re away.
“Erinn was amazing. She was always helpful as my cat was recovering from spinal surgery and required more than just feeding. Her experience as a vet tech was invaluable. She never missed a beat and my cats both love her. I cannot recommend her enough !!!”

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.
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 West Boylston 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 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 .
