“Jenna was absolutely amazing and our cat immediately accepted her as a preferred visitor by rubbing up against her and purring! Jenna also sent great pictures and wrote detailed rover cards so we knew that our girl was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“Colleen was phenomenal. She babysat for our cat while we were away for a week. He’s ordinarily a little shy with new people, but he quickly took to Colleen. She sent pictures of each visit and made sure he was well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
“Emily was fantastic with our two kitties while we were out of town! She did everything we asked of her to make sure they were fed and happy. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Michelle, came by everyday I was away and checked on my twelve year old Newfy. This put me at ease while I was away that Charlie, was ok, and was not alone for more than four hours at a time. Michelle is professional and goes above and beyond with her services. Thank you, Michelle. Lynn and Charlie”
About: Family, friends, neighbors, pretty much everyone I grew up around have all had pets growing up Ive been surrounded by them and loved them my whole life. Im currently working a part time postion while still in online college courses so I will have plently of time on my hands to cater to your furry friends needs. I have a very big and open yard that is fenced in on all sides as well as my own dog that lives with me.
About: I've always had a way with animals. I grew up around large dogs as a child and spent most of my adult life around smaller pups. I also have a 6 year old doodle named Lucy & a 4 year old doodle named Chloe. I like to ensure your pup is okay being left home alone as I am a teacher and work during school hours. If your dog is a chewer or gets into things, I do require that they are crate trained. I can provide a crate for dogs under 35lbs but if your dog is larger, I require you to provide one. But, don’t worry! Your pup will be allowed to have free reign of the house while I am home. Having a dog myself, I would provide walks & potty breaks on the same schedule as my personal pups I have a nice-sized, fully fenced in backyard with a special locking system on the gate to ensure safety. I have a two super friendly doodles that would absolutely love the company of some friends.
“Mimi seemed just fine when we got home last night. Quinn sent daily photos which were nice to see while we were away and missing her. We were grateful that she hadn't shredded the sofa or the carpet, or anything. And Quinn mucked out the litter box, which wasn't on my Rover list, so thanks for that! The house key was right where I asked that it be left. Besides being available over the holiday weekend, Quinn was very accommodating for times and for meet-and-greet. I hope she'll be available to sit for Mimi in the future.”
“Kim is a very sweet person. You can tell she really loves animals. She offers exceptional customer service. I appreciate her detailed note visits and pictures she takes of our animals.”
About: My dogs are part of my family and I will treat your dogs like family too! Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, a brisk walk, or an exciting game of fetch, I’ve got you covered. Rain or shine, if your pup is ready for the outing then so am I. Does your pup like belly rubs, nose rubs and chin scratches? Then you’ve come to the right place. Your pup will be in good hands while you’re gone. I can accommodate a variety of needs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and I have worked as a weekend puppy raiser with the Guide Dog Foundation prison pup training program. Want to know more about me or my pups, just ask!
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
About: I have been taking care of animals in some capacity for many years. Whether it has been taking care of my own pets, dog grooming, 4H, or as a vet tech, I have always had animals in my life. I have owned many cats and dogs during my life. Now that I have more time available, I would love to take care of your animals. My home is currently pet free, but pet friendly. I also have the ability to come to you. I have experience caring for elder pets, as well as administering medications as needed. I love all animals as if they are my own and can't wait to make some new animal friends. I am currently retired and have my days and nights available for your pets. I am in a quiet neighborhood for walks and also close to major highways to travel to you with a dependable car. I would follow any care instructions given, as well as providing the animal routine and attention. Food, exercise, potty breaks, and rest are given as instructed or needed. I would care for the animal like it was my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Acushnet
Abigail B. was very reliable, efficient and caring. She truly enjoyed being with our cat and dog at our home. Our dog has special senior dog needs and she was very attentive to him. We would call Abigail again and again for our pet vacation coverage. She was an excellent communicator and we did not worry about our pets because they were in such good hands.
Kristie and Dominick are great! I mainly communicated with Kristie and she was very professional and conscientious! She has a love for animals for sure and will take care of your furry friend very well. My poor pup Kobe got sick ans she helped out asked questions and was very helpful and kind to both Kobe and myself. I highly recommend Kristie and Dominick.
Our four-month-old Golden retriever puppy was SO excited to see Sarah again! He got the puppy zoomies. She really understands puppies, and is patient, loving, and playful - and good at avoiding his land-shark puppy teeth! We - and our puppy - will look forward to seeing Sarah again.

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 Acushnet 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.
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 Acushnet 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Acushnet with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
