About: Hi! I have been caring for others pets since I was about 8 years old and would walk my neighbors dog! I have been a dog groomer for about 10.5 years, I am pet CPR/safety certified. I also have experience giving both cats and dogs medication as my own both take daily medication. I can’t remember my life without pets! I work part time so I am available mornings and late afternoon/nights to care for your pets! Great for escaping the summer heat on our walks! My babies are my family and I will treat your pets with the same respect! One of the most rewarding experiences is helping a nervous animal come out of their shell. Would love to walk your pups and care for them in your home
“Lauren is the best. She is so timely and available on short notice. My work schedule changes weekly and she has a big heart for Paulie. He loves her! She shares a lot of details about their time together and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Christine took fantastic care of our pets! She was very attentive and checked in with us every time there was an issue. We definitely will be booking her again in the future and recommend her to others looking for pet care/visits!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs my entire life. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to playful and energetic. I have a sweet, friendly one year old Poochon who loves making new friends. Dogs in my care become part of our family. My husband is home during the day, my adult daughter works from home, and my teenage daughter loves dogs and enjoys helping too. This means your pup will have plenty of attention and will never be left home alone. I occasionally have one or two other friendly boarding dogs staying with us, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. They spend their days playing, relaxing, and getting lots of love and attention together. I believe in clear communication and will always follow your instructions, prioritize your dog’s safety, and send regular updates with photos. Thank you for considering me! I’d love the opportunity to make your pup feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very flexible and available every day of the week. I love the outdoors and staying active, so walks and drop ins are an easy, consistent part of my day. I can accommodate last minute requests, follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always provide reliable care with clear updates each visit. Clean, calm, pet friendly home with a large backyard and plenty of room to play. My friendly 1 year old Poochon is home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I closely follow your routine (feeding, potty schedule, and house rules) and send photo updates. I have video cameras in the home for safety, and someone is home 24/7 for supervision and care.
“Ashley was amazing with my anxious rescue. She took the time to meet him beforehand so he would feel more comfortable when she came to walk him while I was away. I was so appreciative of all the updates and pictures she sent while I was gone. I highly recommend Ashley and will be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life! I currently have 2 cats and help my parents with their 3 dogs and 3 cats. I have a lot of experience administering dogs medication- pills, ointments, eyedrops, etc. My 2 cats will be around during host stays they are extremely friendly and welcoming to other cats regardless the age. I’m currently working from home so I am almost always around the animals! Small grocery trips or going out to meals but never away for longer than 4-5 hours usually just 1! No outdoor cats- I keep cats fully indoors and they have no access to get out, plenty of locked window to bird watch from inside. I have a small NOT fenced in area in my backyard and a lot of nearby parks and walking routes, every dog MUST have a harness or collar preferably a harness so they are unable to get out of it and a leash for walks. No unsupervised outdoor times and a bathroom break minimum every 3 hours, more if needed of course
“Being new to Rover - I am pleasantly happy with Natalia's drop in visit! Natalia was quick to respond to all messages and was right on time. She even stayed a little longer with my dog as he made a friend at the park and I got a picture! I would recommend her to anyone. My dog and I look forward to more visits.”
“Leonardo took wonderful care of my two senior cats, including one that requires medication twice a day, while I was gone for the weekend. They were clearly well tended to when I came home. He was very communicative and lovely to work with. I would definitely choose Leonardo again and recommend others to do the same!”
“Corrina (and Tracy) were great with our dogs, especially one who does not like new people in her space. They followed instructions provided and were communicative during their visit!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”
About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.
“Samantha is such a delight. Not only is she great with Bonnie, she was great to work with as an over protective and nervous pet owner using this app for the first time! She came to meet Bonnie days for the first walk and right when she walked in the door I knew Bonnie was safe with her. She’s experienced and confident and really transparent. Samantha is also very responsive and easy to coordinate with- she was very patient with me as my schedule changed last minute.”
“Simmy was a pleasant sitter. Our kittens are very shy but they were very comfortable with her and warmed up to her instantly. Simmy was very helpful and we appreciated how she followed every instructions we gave us exactly with no hesitation. She cleaned up after them and we are lucky to have her as our sitter. She loved our babies and they loved her.”
“Megan is communicative, friendly, and a real life cat whisperer. When my cat was being stressed by our family being away, Megan figured out exactly she needed and accommodated her. Megan is the best!”
About: My fiancé and I have been doing Rover for 3+ years! I’m a teacher, so I’m away during the day, but my fiancé works from home full-time. I also have grooming experience and know all kinds of dog behaviors. Our dog is friendly but has high anxiety, so we require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare. Walks don’t need one. We treat every pup like family! I am a teacher and not around during the day but my fiance works from home FT! Not only do you have one person caring for your dog, but TWO! There is a lot of yard space right behind my apartment. I care for your animals as I care for my own, maybe will sometimes spoil them too!
About: animals have always been my passion. i have always had animals growing up. i have been responsible for them and training them. i am going to school to be a vet tech, and currently work at a vet clinic as a kennel/daycare attendant. I am currently working part time and have a lot of flexibility in between my schedule! I would be available any times on my free days! I am open to doing check ins, walks, and staying for the day to watch them when needed! I can be very flexible and accommodating with any pet needs!
“Jackie is such a great find! I would not trust my sweet cats with anyone else. She is flexible and easygoing, along with providing A+ care to our cats. She has such a trusting disposition and always sent pics with each visit. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her services many times in the future! Jackie is a gem.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braintree
Kelly was great with my new pup, Daphne! Daphne is just 10 weeks old, so I was nervous to leave her for a few hours, but Kelly came to meet her beforehand and right away I could tell Daphne would be in great care. Kelly played with her all morning and sent frequent updates and pictures!
Elena bailed us out many times helping out with Charlee and Rudy! She provided great care, many pictures and somehow figured out exactly what they wanted to spend their time with her, looking for chipmunks and playing ball. Elena was always on time and we never had to worry about making sure the pups had fun. 👍🏾
Molly was fabulous. She took excellent care of our dog and cat for several days. Molly was always on time and she was very communicative. She reached out immediately when the dog was refusing to follow the schedule that I provided. I appreciated her honesty and her patience. I highly recommend Molly.
Grace is super friendly, arrived early, and my dog absolutely loved her. I really appreciated that her calendar accurately reflected her availability, which made booking so easy. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dog will be in such good hands while I’m away. Can’t wait to have her back!
Madison from the moment I first spoke with her showed intent interest in making sure to try to get to know and understand my dog as best as she could. She has an innate talent and comfort around animals and was able to get my boy to trust her within minutes of them first meeting. She always took the time to make sure he was cared for and looked after and always went above and beyond to make sure he was always looked after. I will always feel comfortable having her look after my dog and am confident any pet in her care is in good hands.
Valerie is always amazing with our puppy, Blue! She has watched him multiple times and we always know he’s in great hands. Blue absolutely loves her and she’s always so kind, reliable, and attentive with him. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who cares about him so much. We truly appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Braintree 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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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.
