About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 9. In my childhood I had Guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and two cats. Currently, I have a wonderful Bombay girl cat, she is curious and friendly so boarding is possible if your cat like other cats too :) I’m currently working 8am-3pm. On the weekend my husband and I sometimes go out, but most of the time I’m free and ready to be with your pet :) Any and all instructions that you leave for me will be followed with care to keep your pet happy. I adhere to their regular feeding schedule, provide fresh water, maintain their usual exercise routines and engage them in activities they enjoy.
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Fostering dogs with my family when I was young and learning how to train them to do basic skills such as sitting, staying, and lying down. I have been walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and clients for over 5 years. I am readily available for your pets needs now. I am free most hours and days of the week, so don’t be afraid to reach out! I know what it takes to have your own pets, as I have two dogs myself. I will care for your pets as if they are my own, because I know I would want the same care for mine. I am currently looking for a part-time job before I go back to college. I have a very available and free schedule for summer before I go back to Syracuse University in the fall. I have two dogs at home I take out, train, and feed daily. I can offer you assistance in training your dog, as well as feeding and exercising them. I love to work with dogs and am happy to work with all kinds of demeanors and sizes.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them! I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles, and German Shepherds. I understand the unique personalities and needs of each dog of all ages and make it my mission to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just a cozy cuddle session, I treat every dog like my own. You can trust that your pup will be in warm, reliable, and capable hands! As a teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible after June 17th when the school year ends. I babysit on Tuesdays, but aside from that, my days are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m excited to dedicate more of my time this summer to spending quality time with pets and providing dependable, loving care whenever needed. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for all pets in my care. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away for fun walks and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of affection and supervision, and make sure they feel secure. I also send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“This was our first time leaving our pets with a sitter and we were very nervous to say the least. Paul went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well cared for and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Paul again the next time we go out of town.”

About: I am an avid dog lover. I rescued my sweet pitbull (Bella) almost three years ago and have spoiled her ever since. I also have experience taking care of older dogs that need extra attention, assistance with stairs, and medication. I also have experience caring for energetic puppies. My goal is give your dog all the love and care they deserve because they are not a pet, but a member of your family. I am a new grad physician assistant looking to make some extra money over the summer before starting a fellowship. I can be completely flexible with timing, I just ask for a day or two notice in advance! I can continue whatever routine is best for your dog. I also have experience owning a leash reactive dog so I am comfortable caring for dogs that may have more challenging temperaments.
About: My love for animals started when I was little. I grew up helping take care of my own family dog. At the age of 18 I adopted my first dog and was solely responsible for her care. I’ve always helped out family members and neighbors with their animals. I also worked at Davis Farmland which gives me experience with many different animals. I tend to pet sit for people who have multiple animals. I take care of 4 dogs and a cat for a friend and it is my favorite job!! I also have experience cat sitting and bunny sitting! At the moment, I’m looking for work. I am hoping to make pet sitting a part time job or even full time job. It would make me so happy to work with animals every day! When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to have all the information needed to care for the pet(s) properly. Every animal is different but I’m confident I can always give the best care to any animal. I’m very responsible and will make sure the house stays clean and all doors stay locked.
About: I treat every pet like my own and will always go the extra mile whenever possible. I will always follow any directions given and provide updates after each visit. I would be more than happy to walk and/or check in with any dog(s) and / or other pets whenever I can work it into my schedule! I plan to both offer dog walking services as well as care for dogs or cats in the clients’ home. I will always follow any directions given and provide updates.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My dog passed a few years ago and I would love to be able to help others with their dogs and give them love! I have dog sat numerous times for family and friends, I genuinely enjoy taking care of pets. I have a gecko and chinchilla, so if there are other pets in the house no worries. I’m very excited to get to know you and your dogs! I currently work full time at a college in Worcester county. I am free most nights and weekends, I also work from home on Wednesdays so my schedule is more flexible then. I take the safety and security of your home and your pets very seriously. I will make all the necessary precautions and double check I have secured your home prior to departure so you and your pet are safe!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“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.”

“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.”

About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.
About: When it comes to pet care, what sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and compassion, coupled with professional expertise in house training, senior care, medication administration, and regular photo updates, ensuring complete peace of mind for pet owners. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize early mornings, nights, and weekends for providing exceptional care. I am flexible with the amount of time dedicated to each pet, ensuring it aligns with the preferences of their owners. By closely following the parents’ established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication, I strive to maintain consistency and cater to their pets’ needs. As I work full time, pet sitting allows me to indulge my passion while accommodating my professional commitments. Currently, I am unable to provide pet care services in my own home; however, I offer dedicated pet care in clients’ homes. When entering and exiting a clients’ home, I prioritize security by ensuring all doors are securely locked. Additionally, I take the time to check up on the pet periodically to ensure their safety and well-being. If there are any specific accommodations required for your pet, I am more then willing to discuss and make necessary arrangements.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Worcester is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worcester
Hannah was wonderful with Maisie! Despite the pouring rain, she took Maisie out for a walk and play time and was patient while she waited for her to go potty. Hannah was extremely communicative before, during and after the visit. We are so happy to have found Hannah and have already booked out next visit!

Rebecka has been taking care of our large lab for about a year (4 days a week). She has always been kind, responsible, and communicative with us and has been so loving and caring for a big goofy boy. We knew very quickly she genuinely loved him and would do anything for him. We absolutely trusted her and wish she could have stayed our pet sitter (unfortunately we moved away). Additionally, Arlo is a big strong boy and she was able to handle him no problem. She is definitely experienced with caring for animals and we would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Rebecka, we will miss you!

I highly recommend Anna for any “dog-tending” needed in Worcester! She was able to drop-in for visits with my dog on such a short notice and went above and beyond to take her on walks, send photos/videos, and provide me with updates while I was away. Couldn’t have been easier, thanks Anna!

We love Katie and will definitely be asking her to care for our cuddlebug pup again. She was very reliable and our dog’s joy was showing through every Rover card. We have a backyard, but she still took our strong and still leash-training pup on daily walks. Above and beyond care!

Shanley has gone above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my 84 year old mom’s pugs. First, Shanley was quick to respond and communication is easy. She’s helping with a pug who is disabled and needs help walking to get outside. We appreciate Shanley’s care so much at a time of great need.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Worcester stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Worcester 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Worcester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
