About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Dog sitting for my aunt for when she went on vacation and cat sitting for friends and co workers! I love animals and would love to help others as well! I am currently employed at Mansfield deli. I usually work 5-7 days a week but my schedule varies. I get my schedule on a weekly basis so I’m not really sure of my schedule ahead of time but I normally work the same hours every week! Unfortunately I am not able to have other animals in my home due to having my own cats and dogs but I would love to care for other animals in the homes they are comfortable in. I am very well adjusted and have plenty of experience with pet sitting to help keep animals safe and taken care of! In my home we have 2 dogs and 2 cats.
“Alaina was absolutely amazing at stopping by to take care of my bunny rabbit, Malibu! She was super communicative, and it was such a relief knowing Malibu was in great hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Alaina again!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over 14 years. I am passionate about animals and want to provide the best love and care for your furry friend. I love taking your dog on walks, playing with their favorite toys, making sure they receive the proper meals, and am comfortable giving medication when needed. I have worked in the healthcare field for 4 years so I feel comfortable following care plans and specific diets. I have experience dog sitting young and old dogs and have dog sat for weeks in a row. I am available 24/7 by text, call or email. I do not mind going on long walks or spending extra time playing with your dog to give them the proper exercise needed to keep them happy! I am more than happy to meet your dog prior to starting to put your mind at ease. I am currently an occupational therapist at a local elementary school. Since I work at a school I often have more flexibility around school breaks. Afternoons/evenings are my most open times. I have a small dog park in my complex and live close to a few parks for longer walks. Having owned a dog for 15 years I am confident in how to care for a dog in the home.

About: I can handle dogs of all different breeds and love to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I love what I do!

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have a lot of love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).
About: My name is Alani. I currently work at the Animal Rescue League of Boston as an Animal Care worker, and I am also a student studying Public Health. Before my current position at the shelter, my animal experience came from volunteering at various rescues in Massachusetts and Baton Rouge. Through those opportunities, I was able to gain experience working with dogs and cats of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. At the ARL, my experience with companion animals has grown significantly and my skills center on force free, low stress care, positive reinforcement training, animal body language, medication administration and advocacy. Mon, Wed & Fri: Morning, Afternoon after 2 Evening Tues & Thurs: Evenings Please reach out if you need help during these times or have any questions! I will make sure to stick to your pet's routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I'm happy to follow any instructions you have to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

I love taking cute photos of your pets, so you'll always know how they're doing.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abington
Shannon was great with our mini dachshund Lainey! She was very responsive, took the time to come meet Lainey before her first official booking and made sure to ask all the right questions about how to best care for our pup. Would highly recommend and would absolutely book with Shannon again!
We’ve used Jacqueline for weekly visits for about 18 months and she has exceeded all expectations. She’s prompt, great communication both from our home and between visits, and she genuinely cares about animals. We have an English bulldog that requires lots of attention and Jaqueline delivers!! Absolutely would recommend Jacqueline for your pet care.
I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Nicole was a great sport in helping me train Ellis to strangers and walk around the block, in the cold no less! She was wonderfully kind to Ellis, very soothing in tone and mannerisms, and by the end of our little session, Ellis was perfectly comfortable with her! Would trust her with Ellis again!
