About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I'm a 4th-year medical student excited to help care for your pups! I grew up with dogs and have spent years caring for my parents' and sister's dogs. I still dogsit for them when they go away, and we always have a blast together! I'm responsible, attentive, and happy to give your pup lots of love and attention while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! As a 4th-year medical student, I have flexibility in my schedule and am looking for part-time opportunities to spend time with and care for dogs. I'm happy to coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works for everyone, whether that's regular walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting while you're away! I know that dogs are part of the family, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pups are in good hands. Having grown up with dogs and cared for my parents' and sister's dogs for years, I'm familiar with the responsibility that comes with keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your dog's routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I'm also happy to keep you updated while spending time with your pup!
“She was great with our high energy puppy, who usually tends to scare people away! She was very nice and dropped in to play with our puppy during his training sessions. She acted professionally, seemed to love dogs, was super calm and really helped us with the training. She also seemed experienced with dogs as she gave us a couple tips!”
“Nicole has been fantastic with Avery and Cody. She's great with them, she's great at providing updates on every visit and we will be continuing to use her services as much as possible.”
“Franciane took great care of my cat, Bunny! She was respectful, responsive, and great about giving updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for all different types of animals, ages, and medical knowledge. Growing up I learned how to take care of horses, equine medicine, rehabilitation, and overall animal body language. I’ve always had dogs of different breeds (huskies, Akita/Shephard mix, corgi, pit bull/cattle dog) so I am very familiar with different needs, energy levels, and breed characteristics. I’ve had various different animals such as cats and Guinea pigs and truly call myself an animal lover. I am fully capable of handling all different sizes and dogs in various stages of their training. I am capable of keeping up with a puppy or a senior who needs special care. I am your all around sitter. I am currently attending MCPHS full time for dental hygiene so I will be attending classes during the day. I am able to provide care before I leave for classes, and after during the afternoon or evening depending on the day. I am around full time on the weekends to provide undivided attention and during school breaks/holidays. I understand how important it is to follow detailed instructions, I am very conscientious of medical needs, taking proper care of your home as if it were my own, taking care of your dog as if it were my own, and always being responsible and diligent about what training and behavioral needs/weather sensitivities your dog may have.
About: I've had pets my whole life, from dogs and cats to rats and mice. I used to volunteer at my local shelter, and I've worked with dogs, cats, and small animals. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or other unique requirements, I am happy to work with you to accommodate them. The health, safety, and happiness of your pet is my primary concern, and I always keep an open line of communication between myself and my clients to ensure everyone's safety and peace of mind. I also understand that sometimes plans change, and am willing to work with you if our scheduled times become inconvenient. Ultimately, I want what's best for you and your pet. I have a full time, remote job from Monday - Friday. I am able to work from alternate locations, and have access to reliable transportation. I will always confirm any special accommodations or needs before beginning. Following owner instruction is the name of my game. You know your pet(s) better than I do, after all. I am respectful of your home and always clean up after myself/the animal(s), and maintain an open line of communication at all times. I will never lie or try to cover up a mistake I've made - I truly believe that honesty is the best policy and I take your trust in me very seriously.
About: I have 9 years of experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I walked my neighbors dogs for 8 of those years and have had my own dog since, who I trained myself. I have always enjoyed spending time with my furry friends and will treat them like my own! I am in school full time during the day and have a part-time job Monday, Wednesday, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I am available Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night while also having a few hours during the day for a possible potty break! I have always believed in slow introductions and building trust with animals. I love spending time with animals and will work to make their experience with a new sitter enjoyable. I am available for dog walking, potty breaks and house sitting. With that being said, I will leave the house cleaner than when I got there!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!
“Carlos did a fantastic job caring for our two senior cats, both with medical conditions, while we were away. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. He gave us frequent updates to make sure we knew how our cats were doing. We felt at ease knowing our cats were well cared for and will definitely be asking Carlos back the next time we are away.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: Hi, I am Nicole and I have a deep love of animals and have a passion for their care. I have taken care of animals all through out my life from dogs and cats to small critters and reptiles. I am currently available Monday thru Friday 8-5 and can do over night stays if needed and not available on weekends at the moment due to circumstances but this might change. I visit the homes of my clients either staying for a few hours or over night to play, feed, walk, and do any other requires care tasks depending on the needs of the pet and i usually send photos of outings or update owners on pets depending on the length of care. Also I can come to simply walk your dog or cat.
About: Please note: Your dog must get along with other dogs if staying with me or if I'm staying at your place as my dog Winnie is with me always. She gets along very well with other dogs and cats. I have over 25 years in caring for pets on my own - mostly dogs, cats, and birds. I have owned animals my entire life, however. I have rescued, fostered, and placed dogs as well. I do work Mon-Fri but I work remotely most of the time. After work (and sometimes during), walks and play time will absolutely happen, and on the weekends it is endless really! I am fine taking dogs in my car to trails or parks as long as you are okay with that. I have experience administering medications and injections. I have experience working with dogs that are timid with new people. I will work at their pace to make them more comfortable. I do not have any restrictions for boarding except for females that are not spayed - if they are in heat or may go in heat during their stay with me, I request you get the cloth doggy diaper with pads. Other than that, I love them all and would be happy to take them off your hands for awhile or on overnights and let them have some fun! I currently am remote mostly and work 30min away should I need to go on site, so that offers a lot of flexibility. I'm able to take them outside on walks throughout the day. I am here to make your pet feel comfortable in their environment. I will try to mimic their daily routine they have at home best I can to make them have less anxiety being in a new place.
About: Dog walking and boarding with 6+ years of experience. Comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes but must be dog friendly as I have a dog of my own (who loves having a boarding buddy!). I currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital and have worked at a dog walking/boarding company in the past, so I have plenty of experience with all types of animals! While I do not have a fenced in yard, that won’t stop me from providing your furry friend with the outdoor time they deserve! There are plenty of hiking trails around my home that I am comfortable taking pups to and from in order to exercise them!
About: I’ve lived and worked with dogs my whole life; big and small, young and old, and a variety of breeds. I started walking friends’ and neighbors’ dogs on my own as a teenager, and I first stayed over as a dog sitter not long after that. Over the years, I’ve gotten quick at reading what a dog needs in the moment, whether that’s more physical activity, some quiet space, or just reassurance and time, and giving them exactly that. I’m comfortable handling the messier and more unpredictable parts of the job too, from accidents to nervous or anxious behavior, without missing a beat. More than anything, I love spending time with animals, and I can’t wait to build a real connection with every animal I work with. - Dog walker for 14+ years (more than 20 dogs, all sizes/ages) -Dog sitter for 10+ years (More than 12 dogs, including households with multiple pets, multiple night stays, familiar and first-time clients) I currently work part-time in a remote role, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day/week to walk, feed, and play with dogs without any sense of time limitations. I’m available across weekdays and weekends, and almost any time of day, whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening stay. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My promise is to engage with your pet on your terms and with the utmost transparency and communication. I’ll follow the expectations you set (feeding time, walks, medications) so your dog’s routine is as normal as possible while you’re away. I will keep you in the loop throughout with updates, photos, and check-ins. This same care extends to your home, tidy, undisturbed, and just as you left it.

Larissa watched our two, high energy 50 lb dogs, over a long weekend. She was very thorough in asking about how to best care of the house and the dogs and did a phenomenal job. You can tell she really cares and enjoys taking care of pets and went above and beyond in all aspects, including updating and providing great photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Larissa to any fellow pet parents!
Andrea has been our sitter for 3 months now. Andrea is very dependable and our two dogs love her. One of our dogs is a bit anxious but Andrea handles her well with patience and love. We will continue to use Andrea as our dog sitter as long as she will have us. We highly recommend her!

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.
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 Westborough 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. 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.

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 .
