About: I’ve taken care of dogs prior to having kids, in my early 20’s. Summer residents and Nantucket residents where we resided before relied on me to walk and dog sit their pets. I’m currently home full time with my two boys. My oldest will be going into kindergarten in the fall and my youngest will be going to daycare part time and be home home with me the majority so I’m available/flexible. I am responsible and very protective of my kids along with clients pets. I do not have a fenced in yard but I would love to take your pet for nice long walks during the days on leash.
“I could relax on my vacation because Beth Ann was caring for Juno! She sent updates and photos and took her on long walks, even in the pouring rain! She gave her all the attention and love she needed; I knew Juno was having as much fun as I was!”

“We had a very last minute trip to the cape and Jackie was very responsive and accommodating! I cannot say enough good things about the care she was able to provide for my dog Tate. She was able to send constant pictures and videos which made the time away from the dog much easier knowing he was in such loving care. It was a 10/10 service and worth every penny!”

“Christian was absolutely fantastic taking care of Aspen! We were away in France and had no worries about our pet because we were constantly updated with messages, photos, and check ins about Aspen's status. This is very reassuring as an owner. I have bookmarked Christian's name on Rover for our next vacation!”

“Ruby was a terrific dog sitter! She was very flexible and understanding about scheduling changes and most importantly took wonderful care of our Golden Retriever. Thank you for making Penny feel so comfortable and for all of the great updates throughout, Ruby!!”

About: Hi! I'm Brianna! 🥰 I'm a lifelong animal lover, former veterinary technician with 5 years of clinical experience, and proud dog mom located in Forestdale, Massachusetts! Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my two little boys, I spent five years working as a veterinary technician at a small animal hospital. During that time, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. These days, I'm fortunate enough to be home with my two boys, which also allows me to offer a loving, home-based environment for the pets in my care. Rather than a traditional kennel setting, my goal is to provide a comfortable, family-oriented experience where your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care. My veterinary background has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with a variety of needs, including administering oral and injectable medications, recognizing signs of illness or distress, and remaining calm and levelheaded in unexpected situations. I'm also experienced in caring for senior pets and animals requiring a little extra attention. Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I've been riding horses since I was five years old and have years of experience training horses, teaching riding lessons, and managing barns with 30+ horses. At home, my family has several dogs of our own, so I understand firsthand just how much our pets mean to us. My approach to pet care is simple: I treat every animal as if they were my own.❤️ I understand that leaving your pets in someone else's care can be stressful. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pet needs a little extra TLC, medication administration, or simply some love and companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! 📍 Located in Forestdale, MA *Rates may vary for holidays, additional pets, extended stays, and medication administration.* As a stay-at-home mom to two little boys, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I'm home throughout much of the day, which means pets staying with me receive plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities for playtime, potty breaks, and exercise. I offer doggy daycare and overnight boarding. My standard daycare hours are 9:30 AM–3:30 PM, but I'm happy to discuss scheduling needs on an individual basis. Whether your pet enjoys an active day filled with playtime or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment, I do my best to accommodate their individual routines and needs. My goal is to make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! With five years of experience as a veterinary technician, I'm confident in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including those requiring medications or special attention. Dogs staying with me enjoy a comfortable, loving home environment with plenty of attention, supervised outdoor playtime in our fenced-in backyard, and regular potty breaks. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routines to help them feel right at home. I'm also happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your pup is in experienced, loving hands!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15 years old and have had a black lab my whole life. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets which has sparked a passion in me. My sister’s dog is handicap (using diapers/harness for stairs) and I’ve found through my experience watching him that I have built confidence in taking great care of pets. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8-4pm. I am available for boarding on weekends and evenings. I am completely available on weekends and limited during the week. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I can crate your pet if needed. I am a highly active individual, who looks forward to many walks around the neighborhood with your pet.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dependable walker who knows that every pup has their own personality and pace. From high-energy zoomies to slow sniff-filled strolls, I’m happy to tailor each walk to what makes your dog happiest. I also have experience working with reactive dogs, so I know how to keep walks calm, safe, and positive. Whether it’s fresh air, exercise, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for and comes home with a wagging tail. Think of me as your dog’s new walking buddy — ready for adventure, belly rubs, and everything in between! I work full-time, and am fully remote. My days provide good flexibility to accomodate walks, let-outs, and canine slumber parties. I have a 12 year-old Pyrenees/Border-Collie mix, who loves to get out and move around, so I'm no stranger to the 4-5 walks/day schedule ;) Maintaining your trust, and your furry family member's safety will always be top priority. I will always defer to owners and their guidance, since parents know best! Home care will focus on meals, finding comfortable spots in lieu of a potentially awkward new setting, and lots of love and support. I know how anxious I get when I leave Oreo (my pup) alone for 15 minutes to run an errand, so I hope to alleviate those concerns and ensure that your pup will have a blast.
“Rosie and Anthony were so great to our big guy Charlie! They welcomed him into their home like he was their own. Charlie loved playing with Penny their dog. I appreciated all the photo updates and text messages. We will definitely be boarding Charlie with again in the future.”

About: I used to work for a doggy daycare for three years and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am CPR-certified for cats and dogs and I have basic animal first aid knowledge. I have had both cats and dogs most of my life. I am a full-time student, however, I do not have classes every day and am also available on the weekends. I would be more than willing to check in on your pets at whatever interval you are comfortable with. I am a responsible and respectful person who will follow your instructions and wishes regarding your pets. I have had pets with specific requirements and understand having specific instructions for your pets.
“Nicole is a great sitter! She sends plenty of pictures. And the second time she watched my pup, he was excited to go (which was unexpected from him because he's a very attached pup).”

About: I have been a pet owner and or caregiver since I was a child. I have experience with a variety pets from young and energetic to seniors.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barnstable
Outstanding!! Pupper is a fairly shy, quiet little dog, but he immediately took to Isabella -- she absolutely "gets" dogs. Her home is very well set up for dogs, with cozy beds, generous water bowls, and pup blankets on the sofa. The many photos she sent me during Pupper's stay showed me that he was completely happy and comfortable, either in her arms or lounging in a dog bed, keeping an eye on the kitchen. :) Isabella is a treasure and I highly recommend!

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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
