About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. My family dog was part of my life from when I was young until she passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important pets are to a family. I have experience feeding, walking, and playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have three pets of my own, but they are currently living with my family while I am living in Massachusetts. I work part-time and have flexible availability for dog walking and pet care. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I am patient and attentive and always treat pets with kindness and respect in their home.
“Kelly watched my 3 cats while we were away on our honeymoon. She was great! I came back to happy cats and she sent loads of pics during every check in. Highly recommend her!”
“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!”
About: I've loved taking care of animals since I was a child, starting with my first pets - parakeets named Larry Bird and Miss Piggy. They were followed by rabbits, a beagle and primarily for the last few years, cats. I'm currently providing doggy day care for a neighbor during the week. I'm currently looking after my father and can easily take care of your pups during the morning, afternoons or early evenings. My availability is very flexible. I live in a condominium community, which is largely quiet with plenty of great places to walk (fields, trails and a designated dog park nearby).
About: I’ve had 8 dogs throughout my life and can take care of all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m currently a collegiate athlete at Clark University, but will try my best to make time for your pups. Sundays are my main days able to provide services I know special tricks to get dogs to eat medicine if they need it as I’ve had many pups in need of medicine. I care for pets with lots of pets, a structured schedule, and exercise.
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”
“Kiari was wonderful and timely. She was communicative throughout her time with our dog. She was also so kind and attentive to our dog. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Tracy. They took amazing care of our pets and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pets were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Rylee, i currently own two cats but have been a previous owner to a pitbull adopted from my local shelter. My dog was unfortunately abused as a puppy and had some behavioral issues so I am very use to dealing with these types of dogs. Although I have not owned a dog since, I love all my friends and families dogs dearly. I will be more than happy to provide toys or treats your dog enjoys to have fun while away from home! I treat every dog like it’s my own and will always reach out with any questions or concerns while they are in my care. I have frequent experience dog sitting for my aunt’s two dogs, four cats along with taking care of their fish. I also have experience with administering oral and topical medication to dogs that I have pet sat for and following specific feeding routines. Please feel free to message me to talk about caring for your furry friends! I currently work a full time job but that does not stop me from helping out your pets! I will likely do better with an animal that can manage 6-8 hours without being let out during weekdays. Weekends that I have open availability, your pet will get my full attention! I am more than open to staying in the home to help accommodate your pet and make them comfortable while you’re away! I like to stick as close as possible to your average daily routine with your pets to make things easy for you and them! When staying in peoples homes I am very conscious of keeping things clean and tidy and helping out with other things such as watering plants, bringing in the mail, putting out the trash and making sure things are secure as I come and go!
“Highly recommend! Grace took great care of Reese over the long weekend, providing regular updates and making sure she was happy and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Allison was great with Boone my chocolate lab. He is a big strong goofball and she handled him well. I got updates and a summary of visits. Boones got a new buddy and he will see her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015. I have looked after a whole range of health and abilities, including a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections, and a dog who needed eye drops! I’m an early career art teacher hoping to spend some well-needed time with furry friends afterschool and on weekends. I also take lots of pictures :) I am sure to be extremely respectful of your home and space! I love learning how you do things and doing my best to replicate it. My hope is for pet parents to rest assured knowing their babies are in safe, experienced, and loving hands.
About: I'm a nature enthusiast and lifelong animal lover. My interest in pet care started at 12, walking my neighbors' dogs for candy, and by 13 I was volunteering at my local animal hospital. Since then, I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I am free most week days after/early before work & weekends. I’d prefer not to be out past dark depending on the area & visibility at night. I have no pets of my own at home so your companion will have my undivided attention! I pay very close attention to detail and follow directions well so i can provide whatever kind of care you need & treat your fur baby like my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Worcester
Mary checked in on my cats while I was away on vacation. Mary is wonderful with even the shyest of cats! She sent pictures daily and sent updates about all of my pets, with info on meals and liter box use. Even my shyest cat Salem came down to see her! My mind was at ease while I was away knowing my pets are being well taken care of.
Edith is hands-down the most remarkable pet sitter I have ever hired. While watching my cat, an unexpected health issue arose that required an emergency home visit from our vet. Edith rearranged her personal schedule to meet the vet, then expertly helped round up my cat, who is notoriously difficult during medical visits. My vet was full of praise for her professionalism and composure. Edith has a natural talent for reading animal needs, and I recommend her without reservation.
Asia was so wonderful our entire trip giving us tons of photos every update and keeping us up to date on Ebi’s behavior, mood, bathroom habits, and she even checked in on our gecko Benny’s light each day to make sure he wasn’t cold. Her experience as a vet tech really set our hearts at ease, and she asked great questions during our meet and greet before the trip. Ebi felt completely safe in her hands and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her first the next time we need a pet sitter!
Kiari was wonderful! We booked a little last minute and she was able to meet Booker the day before with us and give her a run down on his care. I felt very relaxed knowing my baby was being well cared for. I’m only in the area temporarily but I will be using Kiari again if I need to go out of town!
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.
Kelly is AMAZING. Full stop! She was there on time or early every day for her drop-in visits. She provided pictures with great captions every day on my elusive kitty Jake and even got him to come out of hiding on the last day to give her head nuzzles. I will not hesitate to ask Kelly for her help in the future. Thanks again, Kelly!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Worcester on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,369 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Worcester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Worcester 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 Worcester. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
