About: I have l had the responsibility of taking care of my home pets ever since I could remember. We’ve always had a full house with dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, guinea pigs, chickens, and even a macaw. I have experience with senior dogs that require extra care as I have one of my own. I have also taken a few puppy training classes that I have used on my dogs as well as pups of close friends. Most of my pets have been rescues and I was able to use those skills to break bad, destructive habits that could’ve resulted in injury. I am currently a full time college student and a part time medical assistant at an urgent care clinic. Typically, I would have the most time to commit to intensive pet care in the early mornings, early afternoons, late evenings, and weekends. My dogs are crate trained and my pets typically spend their nights in their designated areas. In the mornings everyone is opened, greeted with many pets and kisses, and fed. The dogs are walked and trained for a bit before my departure. I make sure to leave a few brain engaging toys/ treats while gone for the day. Once I return, the process is repeated with a longer evening walk and extra cuddle time. My senior dog required a bit more attention with daily injections and a specific diet. I am sure I would take care of your pet with the same care and love I give my pets.
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior. I have experience administering medication, ensuring correct schedules with feedings, and am an expert at making sure the pet is getting all the exercise and attention they need! I also have worked with a shelter walking, caring for, and even taking for visits dogs of many breeds and ages. At this time I cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs. I work an hybrid office job Monday through Friday, 8-5. I work remotely one day a week and my partner in crime Husband works remotely 2 days, making it so we are home 3 out of the 5 days each week! When we are both in office, we are gone from 7:30am-5pm. Scheduling and time away from pet can be discussed for a pet by pet basis. Any further questions and additional details can be provided! I have a very large but fenced in yard. I have two cats who are immune to dogs and generally pretend they aren’t there when we have dog sat in the past. I also have two dogs of my own! Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.
About: With my 12 years of experience around dogs and currently working with 25-40 dogs at a dog daycare I can assure you the safety of your furry friend.

I have 5 other dogs that are my own that can either give your fur baby company or if your dog dosent like company that is fine to. I have crates of my own if you would want your dog separated from the pack if you choose to.
“We appreciated Kellie for her quick response and willingness to care for our pups, especially on such short notice. Based on the pictures she provided to us, they all had a great visit.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and lots of farm animals my whole life. I’ve worked closely with a dog trainer and vets. I’m very knowledgeable about basic animal care. I’m a college student that can come and care for your animals after class while you are at work. My goal is to take that added stress off your shoulders. I am very observant and have been working with animals my whole life. I am able to drive to your home on a schedule and am very reliable. I also am very good with animals with behavioral issues.
“I was nervous leaving my cat Bowie for our first trip away, and I think Bowie was a little nervous at first too, but they quickly became good friends! Nicole was super communicative throughout our trip, and we truly felt like we had left Bowie with a trusted friend. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will 100% be booking with Nicole again!”
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.
“Ixia was absolutely wonderful with our Pointer/Pit mix, Crimson. This was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. (We had to take a trip out of state on short notice.) From the get-go, Ixia was very professional and attentive during our phone consultation - taking notes, checking details, learning the little intricacies of Crimson's routines. Crimson also has a torn ACL, so special care has to be taken during daily activities to ensure the injury doesn't worsen. Ixia was very reliable, responsive, and communicative with us the entire time. She was on time for every visit, sent us pictures of our pup, played with her, spent lots of time in the yard, and even went above and beyond to accommodate some extra drop-ins we hadn't originally planned. We were very impressed and thankful for the loving care that she provided our animals and by her professionalism and communication. 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Ixia!”
About: Hi! I’m Phylicia. I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it—so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I also have pets of my own, so I totally understand how important they are to your family. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to be available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school vacations. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with—qualities that pet parents really value in a sitter. When I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family. I pay close attention to their needs and can quickly recognize if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding routine, giving meds, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m all in.
“Brittanie is very professional and respectful. My boys love seeing her. They feel comfortable around her. I have no problems when I get home. They are relaxed. Will definitely be booking again”
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: Hi, my name is Lenore. I have taken care of pets for over 25 years and pride myself in being the best dog auntie I can be! To help owners with consistency in training, I am respectful of your regular routines and special needs. I have had success caring for skittish dogs and older dogs, and I have cared for tiny terriers as well as huge Newfies! I'm active, fit, and enjoy being outside. Thanks for considering me. I always meet with potential clients ahead of time for a free "meet and greet." I also provide loving cat care. (Check out the picture of my "grand cat" MuMu, on the photo page. I have a very flexible schedule and am often available for last minute needs. I am an early riser and have no fixed plans on weekends. I can provide care for your dogs in your own home, respecting your routines, limits, and habits. I do a thorough walk through with pet owners and make sure I get emergency contacts. In addition, I collect information on what the dogs appreciate! (Belly rubs? Tug of war games? Special snuggles?)
About: Hi! I’m Dana and I love pets! I have had dogs and cats in my family for as long as I’ve been alive. My current pup is a 8 year old chihuahua-mix rescue named Bella who is a ball of energy! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from boxers and pit bulls to chihuahuas and dachshunds! I am available for overnight sitting in your home, dog walks, and drop in visits. I am happy to send pictures and updates from our visits to keep your mind at ease I would love to watch your dog while you are away from home, take them for walks, or just drop in for potty breaks and some quick kisses! I have always treated my pets like my children, and will do the same for yours! I work M-F until 4pm; outside of those hours I’m very flexible! I can work with you to find what schedule is best for you and your four-legged family. When caring for pets in your home, I just need a rundown of what you expect from me to make you and your pets the most comfortable. Whether it be long walks or play time in the back yard, special treats or snuggles i will do my best to make sure they are cared for in the manner they are accustomed to.

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.
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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
