“Jordanne came to feed our cat while we were out of town and was absolutely wonderful - especially considering it was last minute and during the holiday season. Her communication was excellent and we felt our cat was in capable hands while we were away!”
“I’ve used Danielle several times and would recommend her to anyone. She spends a lot of time with my dog/at my house, provides frequent updates, and leaves the house in equal or better shape then when I left it. She follows all instructions related to medicines and anything else. I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Liz was excellent. I was Away for the holidays for 6 days. Liz always showed up and communicated clear and well while taking care of my two cats. She did an excellent job with the feedings and keeping the cats area/litter box spotless. I couldnt Have asked for a better cat sitter/ in home visits. She even did this during Christmas Eve and Christmas, I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended”
“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!”
“Kayla did a great job watching our cats! Our girl cat loves her (probably due to churu bribery). Kayla also keeps tabs on our super shy boy cat even when he hides under our bed.”
“Ashley was great with taking care of my dog while I was gone. My dog was just getting over being sick, so she needed a little more TLC, and Ashley kindly delivered. I am so grateful for her.”
“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”
About: I love all animals and have ample experience taking care of several different kinds and ages. I have taken care of fosters. I have taken care of newborns. My dog had a litter 5 puppies and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I will treat your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and trustworthy. I love seeing animals happy. I will take the best care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. I will only be working part time at my current job after coming off of maternity leave. I live in a cozy condo in a woodsy area of Auburn. I do not have a backyard, but I have a great neighborhood for walking around. There are many other dogs in my neighborhood. I have plenty of space in my condo for the comfort of my cats and one additional pet to take care of. I have taken care of pets of all ages!
“Mackenna was amazing with Astro. She was attentive and really cared about him. She was reliable, timely and communicated well. We will totally ask her to watch Astro again 😊”
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.
“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 !!!”
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 lifelong animal lover with professional experience working in veterinary care, as well as previous experience walking dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic adults to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I especially enjoy dog walking because I love getting outside, giving pets some enrichment and exercise, and seeing how happy they are afterward. Of course I’m here for the puppy kisses and cuddles too! My veterinary experience has given me experience with a variety of pets and their individual needs, including administering oral medications and topical medications. I also have personal experience caring for a deaf dog, so I understand the importance of adapting communication and care to each pet. I’m comfortable walking dogs up to 100 lbs and have some basic training knowledge that I can incorporate into everyday interactions. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. My goal is to provide dependable daytime walks and drop-in visits while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll treat your pets like individuals, respect their routines, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I’m an animal lover with professional veterinary experience and previous experience working as a dog walker. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m especially interested in daytime dog walks and drop-in visits on my available days. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because of my veterinary background, I’m familiar with paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing, and I take each pet’s individual needs seriously. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape risks, and I’ll make sure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit. I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications when needed. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, triggers, and anything else that will help me provide safe and comfortable care.
About: Hello and thank you so much for your interest in my pet care services! I absolutely love animals, and have over 8 years of professional pet care experience, both in a Veterinary Hospital and doggy daycare, boarding and grooming facility, as well as working alongside a top rated team of professional dog walkers in Central MA. Working independently allows me to give your pets the extra love and attention they deserve, without the rush, and added treats! :) • I am both Pet First Aid and CPR trained and certified. • Ready to give some extra love to your furry friends? Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! • *Please allow me 24 hours to respond to your request, between the hours of 9am - 3pm, Monday - Thursday. I am currently available for morning, midday and evening drop-in/vacation care visits, or from 10am-3pm Tuesday-Thursday for dog walking/potty break & playtime visits! Do you live on a road unsafe for walking? Or do you wish your four footed friend could spend more time being a dog during the week? How about a trail walk in a local forest? Great for dogs sensitive to noise, who have extra energy, or who just love their time outdoors! Trail walks are an hourly rate and include pickup and drop off for your convenience. I hope to see you and your animal loved ones soon! After working in a pet boarding facility, I greatly appreciate getting to care for animals in their own home. It is much less stressful for the animals, and their pet parents. I have years of experience taking care of animals in an overnight boarding facility as well as in their own home through professional pet care services, and I value transparency, safety, trust and genuine care for all animals!
About: My name is Brooke Laplante and I am a 20 year old college student. Since the age that I learned what a dog was, I begged my parents for one for years until finally, they caved (we have had pets before but had not yet adopted into the dog world). We went to a local shelter (shoutout Second Chance Animal Shelter) and picked out the runt of the litter. How could I not? I recently started volunteering at this animal shelter weekly too. Ever since the day we adopted Nola, she has been my pride and joy. I have always said I would be happy with a million dogs for kids when I grow up. I am the dog walker of the household. Every day I ask her “Nola, do you want to go for a walk?” and she jumps up and stands at the front door waiting for me to grab her harness. It’s the thing that she looks forward to the most in her day. I understand your dogs are your children and knowing that, especially with one of my own, I will do everything I can to make sure your dog is safe and loved when they are in the care of my hands. I am growing and learning about these awesome fur babies each and every day. There is always room to learn but things like compassion aren’t taught or learned. It is something you have in your heart since you are born and mine is so full of compassion for these doggies.
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Worcester is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worcester
Katherine has been amazing with my little Odin all week! She treated him with so much love and care every visit. Odin was so happy to see her each time, knowing he was in the best hands! She went above and beyond by changing his pee pads, and cleaning up accidents. We are so grateful for her dedication to our furry friend!
I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Alison was communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with them. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!
Lupia was able to care for both of my dogs on last second notice. Lupia had not seen them for about a year and a half, however despite this she still remembered exactly how to care for and interact with them. ( She also takes phenomenal pictures of them). They were ecstatic to see her and I can't thank her enough for being an incredible dog-sitter.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Worcester is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Worcester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Worcester. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
