“Annie was tremendous while taking care of my dog. She was consistent with her timing and communication, provided important updates quickly, and had such good control and care of my hyperactive dog. Would hire Annie again and again!!”
“Erica was so wonderful with our needy kitty. She gave her lots of attention during her drop-in visits. Our cat wasn’t the normal basket case when we arrived home after a long weekend away. Highly recommend Erica for drop-in cat sitting needs.”
“This is the 2nd time Virginia has cared for our three cats. They each have different personalities and she gave them individual attention based on what they needed, and sent us multiple videos. She was very loving and caring to them. They also eat different foods and she followed our instructions perfectly. She vacuumed and even brought in packages. We highly recommend Virginia!”

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.
About: Hi! I'm a current medical student at UMass Chan looking for a little side gig while helping you leave your pets in safe, responsible, loving company! I have two dogs back home, Millie and Piper, both rescue dogs that have stolen my heart! Having always grown up with dogs (and a cat), I know how hard it can be to leave your pet home and in someone else's care. I'm here to be someone who you can feel comfortable with taking care of your pet! I'm currently in my fourth year of medical school, which means I have lots of free time in between virtual residency interviews! Hence, I am very available for any and all of your pet needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
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.
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
“Helana did a perfect job! My cat was comfortable enough to go right up to her and play. She gave me peace of mind that he was okay. I have zero complaints. I will definitely book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Boylston
Erinn was amazing. So responsive and helpful when my disabled cat needed specialized attention when I was unable to provide it myself. She is my first call if I need her aid. And my cats both love her. She is an amazingly calm and a joy to work with. I could not be more pleased with her help.
Cate did an excellent job caring for my cat, Kallie. Kallie is very scared when we leave her as well as protective of the house. Although Kallie was not friendly at first - Cate took her time with each visit to show Kallie she could be trusted. This was extremely important to me. And Kallie did become more friendly, which is a small miracle! Cate has a keen animal intuition and knew how to forester a relationship with a difficult client. Cate’s communication with us while we were was stellar and gave us great peace of mind.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Boylston is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $35 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
