“Hayleigh made our vacation so much better to not worry about our pups! She is trustworthy and a true blessing to our family. We will definitely be using her on all our trips if she's available! Our dogs loved her and our family couldn't be happier with the experience ❤”
“Eko and Sarah are the very best. I usually board my dog for vacations and it gives me so much anxiety I decided to try rover and what a huge difference they made. I enjoyed my vacation with cute updates on my dog instead of anxiously checking on her knowing she’d go on a hunger strike at the boarding facility.”
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”
“Edith was wonderful, my senior beagle Oscar was so happy and well cared for while we were away. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to enjoy our trip. She kept us updated and took great care of the house too.”
“Paulina was amazing!!! I highly recommend her. She took amazing care of Buddy and was super thoughtful and kind and provided updates and pictures and did much more than I asked her to do!!!! Can’t say enough great things about her.”
“Anna-Li is outstanding! She took excellent care of our kitty and our home, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Anna-Li sent us regular updates and photos so we knew Harper was well cared for. I'm calling Anna-Li first next time we need a sitter!”
“I am so grateful to have found Christina to take care of my girl, Honey. As she’s gotten older, Honey hasn’t been able to handle the stress of boarding anymore, she was always coming home sick and stressed out. Christina stayed in my home with Honey, allowing her to stay on her normal feeding, walking, and medication schedule the entire time I was away. Christina shared updates, videos and photos every day so I knew Honey was okay and having fun. Having that peace of mind allowed me to truly relax on my vacation for the first time in years! And I came home to my house cleaner than I left it, with a safe, happy, healthy doggo! Christina is the best, she followed my care instructions to the letter and I really believe she treated Honey like her own dog. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be trusting her with Honey again the future!”
“Danielle was amazing! Our pets didn’t want us to come home! We have a doggy who needs extra attention and Danielle was so good with her. She gave amazing updates along the trip. Highly recommend!”
“Shelly was an amazing pet sitter and she did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She followed all instructions, sent updates, and communicative. I would love to use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Nhi was able to watch our dog on short notice, and even made time to meet him in advance. He gets nervous when we’re away but she made sure he ate and he even played with her- thank you Nhi!”
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.
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Worcester
Holly cared for our fur babies over a long weekend, and it was our first time having a pet sitter stay overnight. She was kind, trustworthy, and helpful, and she went well beyond our expectations. My partner was apprehensive about having someone stay in our home, but he was impressed by how respectful Holly was of both our home and our pets. Even our cat, who can be a bit picky about people, enjoyed her company! I hope Holly can watch our babies again. She’s a rare find.
We are so lucky to have found Paulette! One of our boys got sick the night before a vacation, we felt at ease going due to Paulette’s adaptability to the situation and empathy. She updated us on the boys everyday and worked hard to make sure they had the care they needed. Both of our cats seemed very relaxed and happy when we returned! Thank you, Paulette!!
one of the best sitters I've ever had(and I've had alot).. very communicative,sends tons of pics and follows instructions. to be honest, carter left my house cleaner than i left it; he folded my blankets and even washed some utensils! but most importantly i feel like he loved my dog the way i love my dog. i know he let her in and out probably 100 times in the 5 hours he was here(bc i kept getting the motion notifications on my phone lol) so much patience! would deff use him again, over everyone else!
We absolutely loved Rebecka! She did an over night stay with our pups for a few days and was amazing. Very attentive, sent us pics and check-ins, and my dogs just loved her. They had no trouble cozying up to her and snuggling like they've known her their whole lives. We enjoyed our trip knowing they were well taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about Rebecka. We will definitely use her again!
Lupia did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was so communicative, sent frequent updates, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with my cat. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it. My cat slept next to her and she only sleeps next to me once in a blue moon. I look forward to having Lupia as my house sitter next time I travel!
If you're looking for someone you can trust to take care of your babies, look no further than Jared. With Jared you will have peace of mind knowing your babies are with some one you can trust, they are being well taken care of and they are happy. Jared sat for our 2 dogs, Olive and Binda, both 6 year old lab mixes for 5 days. They loved being with him and I loved not having to worry about them. Jared is caring, thorough, and very experienced. He sent us updates and pictures showing two happy pups. We will ask Jared to sit for us again, no question!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Worcester walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Worcester maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
