“Haley was so great with my dog Prince. He barks at everyone, and he warmed up to her right away! She is so nice and very accommodating! I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”

“Kristie was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we chose her! Our cat usually takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she went right up to Kristie on the very first day! It made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll 100% be using Kristie again in the future!”

“Kami has been absolutely wonderful with my shy boy, Milo. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, patient, & communicates so well. The first visit, Milo was hesitant to come out of his crate. Kami gave him space to build his confidence, shared treats, reached out to me to let me know & ensure what she was trying would be what’s most effective for Milo, & made an extra visit to my home just to give him extra space & time. I appreciate knowing the same care, effort, & patience is given to my sweet boy when I have to be away without him. I highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for my own pets and am comfortable with routines, attention, and companionship they need. I'm currently employed fulltime as a probation officer, but I am retiring in the near future, and I will have more time to devote to being a pet sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets would be something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I am happy to build my day around their needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also understand that pets do best when their normal routines are maintained, so I'll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable while you're away. I enjoy exploring new places, but I am equally happy spending time at home with a furry companion. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in someone's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets receive their meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I want pet owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for by someone responsible, dependable, and genuinely happy to be there. I understand that every pet has different need and personalities, so I take time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I am also respectful of the home and keep things clean and tidy.
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.

About: *my prices are flexible depending on the care needed* I’ve had the pleasure of caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My passion for animal care led me to complete a semester of Animal Science coursework at Bristol Community College, where I gained knowledge in animal behavior, health, nutrition, and handling. As an aspiring canine trainer, I’m always looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge and build positive relationships with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide patient, attentive, and compassionate care while treating them like one of my own. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my schedule. My availability is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible and will always provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with every pet, using positive reinforcement and patience to help them feel comfortable. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.

About: I would love to be able to spend my extra time taking care of animals. I have been taking care of many pets since I was younger, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, and chickens. I have dogsat many times before as well as taken them for walks. I'm a very energetic person so I would have no problem running around and playing with any pets. However, I also would not mind relaxing and giving attention to an older pet who just needs some care and company. I have my own car so transportation is not a problem, and I am also willing to transport pets if needed. Some of my other hobbies include several different art projects, photography, hiking, yoga and dancing. I am working on creating my own freelancing schedule of pet care, yoga classes and home caregiving, so I am available whenever possibly during the week or weekends. I do not currently offer pet sitting at my personal home but am open to pet sitting at the client’s home. I believe it is important that the pet has a familiar environment and friendly face while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was ten years old. I can take care of dogs of any size or activity level. I do not have any formal dog training but I have spent lots of time on YouTube educating myself when I was training my own dogs. I have two fluffy labs (ages 6 and 2, they live at home with my parents, they are our family dogs). I have had animals my whole life and see them as just another family member who needs taking care of. I enjoy going on long walks and usually asks friend if I can take their dog with me for some company. My home is very dog safe and dog friendly :) I currently work part-time as a banquet caterer at the essex resort and spa. I am available 7 days a week to dogwalk, housesit and/or board dogs at my house! I do not have a fenced in yard. Any dog leaving my apartment with me is leashed. A quick bathroom break is usually taken by just walking around the block but any walk I usually hop in the car and drive to centennial park/east woods or go down to the waterfront. I can house uncrated dogs as well as crated dogs if one is supplied.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Acushnet
Abby was absolutely wonderful with Punkin! She took such great care of her, and it was so clear how happy and comfortable Punkin was in her care. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to Abby and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy pet sitter! ❤️

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.
