“Kimberly was so kind and great to jewels! She kept me updated and took such a great care of my puppy while we were away! I would recommend her to anyone who need care for their pet!”
“It was such a charm to have Jessica take care of our cat during the busy holiday time in December. She is very prompt with timely responses, was able to understood our situation so well that she even proactively assisted us with a basement water leak problem when we were away. Saved us from a lot of damage during our absence. Would love to have Jessica sit for our cat any day.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of dogs, shaped by having three rescue dogs of my own. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pups and focus on building trust at their pace. I have experience with puppies, reinforcing routines and basic training, and I’m attentive to senior dogs who need extra care. I treat every dog like family and provide consistent updates so you always feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have time to hang with your pups! I'm available weekdays for 8am, afternoon walks and 6pm walks. I am not available after 7pm. Available on some weekends. I am not currently taking dogs into my home. I will take one pet on a case-by-case basis as I have three dogs at home. I have an electronic fence.
“Xuni was fantastic with my cat Ela while I was away for a week. She would send me pictures and videos from every visit, as well as leave useful feedback on how Ela was doing.”
“Maya was very communicative and punctual for both of our visits. Our cat really seemed like he enjoyed her company and we are glad he was in good hands while out of town.”
“Chelsea is great! Not only did she accommodate our last minute request for a sitter, but she made the time for a meet and greet to make sure our shy pup was comfortable during her stay. She gave us the peace of mind that our dog had company when we had to be away. Super flexible and will book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. My own dog is a rescue who came from a difficult situation and had been mistreated before joining our family. Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and earning a dog’s trust. I’ve also helped care for dogs for family and family friends by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. While I’m new to Rover, I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your home, and stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family. My own dog, Jackson, is a tripawd who requires extra attention and specialized care, which has given me firsthand experience with patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or requires a little extra support, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I am a part-time massage therapist/esthetician who works a second shift schedule. I am available for pet care until 1:30pm on Mon-Wed, and have full availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am not available on weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication when caring for your pet. During drop-in visits and walks, I will ensure your dog is secure, comfortable, and gets the attention they need. I will always follow your instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a potty break, neighborhood walk, or local trail adventure, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Stephanie is so great - very flexible, attentive, understanding, and thoughtful. She was very communicative and reassuring every step of the way, it was so easy to trust her to take great care of our dog whilst we were away. I would highly recommend her care to anyone!”
About: I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have worked with both big and small dogs and love every size. I have volunteered working with litters of puppies, cleaning , feeding and exercising them. I commonly help with family and friends pets as well as people near by in my community. I have worked with dogs that require specific care like medicines, baths and schedules as well. Im currently available to work with your furry friends almost full time! Most days I have a flexible schedule that makes it possible to care for your pets when its most convent for you. I am able to provide walking services or drop in visits if your pet just needs some company! I can clean up any pet messes as well as feeding your furry friend if you need. I am open to discussions about providing baths if it is a task you need completed for your pet.
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“Jessica was so fantastic to work with and so great with our two dogs. She was very communicative on our drop in visits, perfectly on-time, and really wonderful with the dogs. Can’t wait to work with her again”
“I can’t say enough positive things to describe how wonderful Nicole(Nikki) is with cats. She is THE cat whisperer. In her profile, she describes how she is able to work with shy kitties. She is 100% correct with that statement. One of my two cats tends to hide when there is a new person that comes into the home. Not with Nicole. My shy kitty greeted her at the front door as soon as she walked in. That is a first for her. It was immediately apparent that both my kitties were in love with her like she had been caring for them for years. It was such a beautiful thing to see. If you are looking for someone to take care of your kitty or kitties, you absolutely must hire Nicole. Moving forward, she is my new permanent choice for taking care of the girls while I am away.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have over 9 years of hands-on animal care experience. Growing up around animals has made caring for them second nature to me, and I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I also have my own 109 lb Rottweiler, so I’m very confident handling large, strong breeds and understand the importance of structure, safety, and control on walks. In addition to my personal experience, I have a background working with horses, where I learned how to read body language, handle animals safely, and build trust especially with more sensitive or high-energy animals. I’m primarily available in the afternoons and evenings, which is perfect for midday walks, check-ins, and dinner visits. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Currently I am working with rover and working some small other jobs so I am more available if my schedule ever changes I will reach out and let you know immediately. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk routines to any behavioral or medical needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I stay aware of surroundings during walks to keep your pet safe at all times. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their space and letting them engage on their terms. I maintain clean litter areas, monitor behavior, and ensure they feel safe and undisturbed. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
“Allyson was very friendly and easy to set up a booking to do daily stop-ins for my cat Cleo. Very fast communication and did a great job taking care of all of my cat's needs (as well as sending me updates). Would highly recommend Allyson and book her again.”

Xuni continues to go above and beyond every time she cares for our two cats. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our furry kids are safe, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away. We always come home to two relaxed, happy cats, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you, Xuni, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—we appreciate you so much! Highly recommend! 😊
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!
Jessica went above and beyond for us. While we were traveling she visited our senior cat multiple times a day during snowfall and even shoveled the snow. Nothing but ease and peace of mind while our cat was in her care. We look forward to working with her again! Thank you!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westborough stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westborough. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
