“Jenna took excellent care of my cat Voodoo while I was away. She spent time with him daily and saw that he was well fed and kept him company. She is pleasant and professional. I would be happy to employ her again.”

“Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didn’t want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.”

“Rochelle was a fantastic pet sitter for my Lucy girl. I had a last minute request and she was able to help out on short notice. Lucy received plenty of walks and excellent care. I was also kept up to date on how Lucy was doing and received plenty of photos. 10/10 will reach out to Rochelle again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
“Meghan was an excellent house sitter. She has earned and maintains our trust with both our house and our pets. We would definitely book with her again. She is tidy, professional, and communicates exceptionally well. A+++”


About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I am a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I am available most of the day. I am working as a dog groomer so when I am not working with a dog I am available for pet care! It easy to work my schedule around what a pet parent may need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.
“Audrey just jumped right in and was at home with the dogs. She's a cheerful, contentious, reliable provider who genuinely seems to love the dogs. We're thankful to have her assistance.”

About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each dog and what makes them happiest. I’ve worked with everything from wiggly puppies who need a little help with training to older dogs who just want a slow, peaceful walk and some extra TLC. I’m super patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to run, sniff, play, or just take it easy, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have tons of free time, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a job it’s just a great part of my day. When I care for pets at your home, I try to keep everything as normal as possible for them. I stick to their usual feeding and walk times, give any meds they need, and just hang out to keep them company. I’m not perfect, but I’m always patient and caring, and I make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I’ll check in with you regularly so you know how they’re doing. If I’m watching pets at my place, I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax and plenty of attention. I’m pretty chill and try to keep things low-stress so they feel comfortable. Either way, I just want your pet to feel safe and cared for, even if I’m not perfect!
About: I started caring for animals back in 2010 walking and pet sitting my art teacher's dog. Then, in 2016, I began volunteering at a horse boarding facility. I spent a winter there learning how to bathe, feed, turn out, clean up after and care for horses. I learned about their different personalities and eventually tried riding (I wasn't very good at it.) Since then I have been looking for more opportunities to spend time with animals! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting in the well-being of rescue cats and dogs. We play outside, go for walks, and socialize! Safe handling and open communication with fellow volunteers and pet owners is always a priority. General care such as cleaning, laundry, and medication administration are also things I can assist with. I have two beautiful black cats at home named Luna and Cleo. They are very vocal and sweet, and I love spending time with them. They love treats and bird TV. We are also fostering a small cat named Rosie who needs a little extra patience. She is a very loving cat overall, but is still getting used to her new environment. As far as my schedule, I work a regular job during the week, and on weekends I volunteer at an animal shelter. Im looking to fill gaps in my schedule by spending more time with animals and gaining as much experience as I can. Weekends and nights are open for me to take jobs helping with other peoples animal friends. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed, and am also comfortable around anxious or stressed animals. I will be diligent in keeping all the animals safe from harm by paying close attention to their body language, behavior, and their individual needs.
“Connor took amazing care of our dog while we were away for the night! Kept us updated with plenty of pictures and reassurance that Oliver was having the best time! Would definitely book again and again! 10/10”

“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have grown accustomed to a range of feeding, walking, grooming and play schedules and also have experience administering medication. I can handle dogs around other pets, acting to keep everyone involved comfortable and safe. I have lots of free time after classes and only a part time work schedule in the summer. I am able to make time morning, afternoon and night! Until August 15th, I will be living with two roommates. One of which have a cat and a dog who are very friendly. I aim to keep boarding to a minimum until I move into my new space where I will have a lot more room and there would be no. concern with pets interacting and living with other pets that they do not know.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was five years old, and that love has never wavered. Over the past five decades, I’ve cared for an extraordinary range of breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Collies, Lhasa Apsos, Jack Russells, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, among others. I currently share my home with three Chihuahuas of my own, ranging from 8 months to 7 years old, so your dog will always have friendly, familiar company. My experience goes well beyond basic care: I have bottle fed newborn Chihuahuas rejected by their mother, and I am currently completing CPR certification specifically for dogs. I am bully breed friendly and comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes. I bring reliability, genuine dedication, and a deep belief that every dog deserves the highest standard of love and respect, and you can be sure that is exactly what your pet will receive in my care. As a semi-retired professional who works from home, my schedule is highly flexible and centered around my three dogs. Your pet will never be left alone for long stretches; I'm home the vast majority of the day, which means regular walks, playtime, meals, and attention are built into the routine naturally. I treat pet care not as a side task but as a core part of my day. Your dog will be staying on a private two-acre property with a semi enclosed backyard: plenty of space to run, explore, and decompress. Please note that the front yard is not fenced, so all outdoor front-yard time is leashed and supervised. Inside, your pet will have a dedicated private room, cozy bedding, and a crate available upon request (crate reimbursement appreciated). In the event of any medical concern, the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is conveniently located on State Road in Swansea.
“Emma is extremely responsive, followed my (overly) detailed instructions impeccably, kept me updated with frequent pictures/status updates, and showed my dogs the amount of love I expect from a sitter. I'd be elated to have her back to watch Friday and Buster again!!”

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
About: I have been walking dogs at local shelters on a volunteer basis for several years. I have experience walking a variety of small and large breed dogs. My walks are 40 minutes long. I charge $25 per walk. My prices stay the same no matter what the breed or age. I would like to set up a meet and greet prior to any walks. Building a strong relationship is important. I am a retired veteran. I have plenty of time in retirement to walk dogs. I am available to walk dogs on Tues, Weds, Thurs, Sat and Sun. I do not offer boarding. I am out to serve the dog and the owners alike. I want both to be happy with my services. I am capable of feeding. I can walk multiple times in a day. I can administer meds as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Acushnet
Liliana was great for our boxer. She has such a calming presence which was great for our anxious dog. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone that is not family which also made us anxious. Liliana’s updates and pictures set us at ease and allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We would definitely book with her again!

Kayla sent many updates and photos. She was very conscientious about following all of my instructions which is very important because Zoey is a senior dog. I think Kayla truly enjoyed taking care of Zoey. The house was so neat, I could barely tell she was here.

Loryn did an exceptional job for us, taking care of our old lab (Otis) and old cat (Kramer) over the July 4th weekend!! She is extremely reliable and we will gladly use her services again in the future. We give her 5 Stars and strongly recommend her services to anyone looking for house/pet sitting in the Lancaster area!! Thank you again!!!

Liza has stayed with our pups while we have been on vacation a handful of times and she is excellent with them despite their very different personalities. We always leave with the confidence that she will hold down the fort and we are so very grateful for her.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Acushnet walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Acushnet maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
