About: Dogs are special beings. Anyone who has been blessed to have a connection with them knows it all too well. Because of dogs we are more humble, empathetic, caring people. " 🐾🕊️💞❤️ I currently work from home and am available to board for your fur baby in a quiet and safe environment. I’ll play fetch with your pup and go for walks. My yard is large and fully fenced in. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. Dogs are never allowed outside without supervision. Indoors, dogs are crated during sleep periods for their safety.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I’ve been 14. I have dog sat for my neighbors growing up and for family. I have taken care of multiple dogs at once too! I feed, bathe and take the dogs on walks when needed. I am currently working a full time job but I am always available weekends for dog or cat sitting sitting and available in evenings for dog walking! I live in an apartment but I’m in the heart of downtown so there are plenty of places to go for walks and I am also a quick 5 minute walk to the beach or an 8 minute drive to a larger beach!
“Lora was very sweet, and took great care of our puppy. Her yard is wonderful for a dog like ours who needs space to run in a safe and fenced environment. We will hope to be able to return again next time we are in need of boarding. Highly recommended.”
“We had a great experience working with Julia! I really appreciated the updates and pictures to let us know that our dog Kodi was having a great time! I knew that Kodi was in good hands. And I think he has a new bestie in their golden Barry. Would definitely recommend Julia!”
“Britney was a wonderful sitter for our lab over a long weekend. Our dog came home exhausted and happy after her weekend with Britney, which included lots of playing, walking the neighborhood, and snuggling. Britney provided my husband and I with photo updates frequently, which we appreciated. Would book with Britney again in a heartbeat!”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog! He constantly sent pictures and updates of her, and was always very responsive. Our doggo came back so happy. I would definitely book with him again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life and enjoy taking care of them and training them and teaching them new tricks. I want to open my house for your pets to feel almost as comfortable in my house as they do at home and. I have a friendly dog that is well behaved that loves to make new friends. When I first got my dog he had bad habits and fears that with time and patience I was able to help him feel more relaxed and less fearful and now they are gone. He is a rescue that was abused and would have accidents when he would see a leash, but now isn’t afraid of the leash anymore I work full time but am just a quick walk from my job and go home for an hour for lunch to let them out and spend time with them and play and exercise with them. My routine is I wake up in the morning let my dog out and run around and exercise a little then get ready for work and head off. I then come home for lunch let the dog out and give feed him and play with him a little bit then I go back to work for a few hours and then come back home and spend the rest of the day and night with the pups. The longest stretch of time your dog will be alone will be 4-5 hours I have a fenced in yard that I let my dog run around in for exercise and hope your dog will become friends with mine to run together in the yard. My dog is friendly and loves other dogs and hope my guy will keep your dog company.

“Shatane was an amazing dog sitter. Kept us updated and sent so many pictures of Gunner. Will definitely be using Shatane again to care for our pup! Thank you, Shatane!”
“Laura was amazing! She was very accommodating, quick in response and always provided update and pictures of Zuko. Zuko was very happy when we picked him up and he had an amazing time with Laura and her dog Ella. I would highly recommend booking with Laura. I know for certain that we will”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Abington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Abington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Abington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abington. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
You and your Abington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
