“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for many years. I have a service dog and she is trained well. I dog sit and walk dogs sometimes but not often. I can bathe and groom. I’m currently volunteering at the local animal shelter to learn more. I’m currently working 3 nights a week, every other weekend. I am available most days, afternoons and some evenings. I’d be more than happy to work with your schedule. My cats are not friendly. I also have a service dog so it’s best to care for your pets in their own homes. I am able to cat sit in my home in a secluded area if needed.
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for all types of animals. I had a 15 year old dashund and a 10 year old lab personally as well. I currently have 8month aussie pup. My neighbors, family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away on vacation, military service or recovering from surgery or just to help out! I can assist in puppy training and senior care with medication administration as well. I am currently a nurse and looking to help other pet families take care of their furry family members. I also offer adventures, such as hiking, beach walks, pool time some life jacket sizes avaliable, short walks, ramp for vehicle for our lovely large dogs and seniors. For our seniors I also have puzzle games that can help with low activity thresholds. For cats a safe low noise environment is available here, with plenty of cat toys to play with. I am also a volunteer as a dog walker at a local shelter as well. Overall I will care for your furry family member with the utmost affection and fun with safety being paramount. I have four days a week available to care for animals. I work three days in person. Leaving plenty of time for fun and adventure. My schedule is very adaptable to your pets needs or wants. I have a fenced in yard available as well as one on one care as a option to maximize attention to your furry family member. I can crate animals if needed. Animals are welcome on the furniture and in my vehicle as well. I can walk puppers every 2 -4 hours or as needed by your pet.
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm Kristen, a historical archaeology student at UMass Boston! Animals, history, and creative activities are my life. I have grown up with animals in my house my entire life- from rescue dogs, to cats, to hedgehogs, birds and rabbits, there are very few animals that I haven't gotten to play with. I would love to help you give your fur baby the best life possible by making sure they get the exercise they need, they get to socialize, and let them explore the environment around them. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes- from Pugs to Newfoundlands, so I'm no stranger to large dogs and what they might need, and how that would differ from a smaller dog. I'd love to help you be the best owner you can be! I also have experience with multiple different livestock animals, from chicken and geese to donkeys. My goal is to own my own rescue farm one day, so special circumstance animals are something I am very comfortable doing. I prefer to spend time with your pets as much as possible, to help give them the socialization they need so they aren't left alone while they wait for their favorite people to come back :) I focus on making sure to keep into their set schedule as much as possible. Have a set time your fluffy friend needs to eat that never changes? Does your pet need to take multiple walks a day? My schedule is very flexible and it is my priority to keep their lives as unchanged as possible. I keep pets as normal in their routine as possible so they don't feel out of sorts until their people come home! I am more than comfortable dealing with crated, uncrated, specific behaviors of pets, and more. I make sure that their food and water intake is exactly how you specify, and that they get plenty of love and exercise.
“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!”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 9 month old Golden Retriever. Through raising and training him, I’ve gained experience with puppy routines, leash walking, feeding schedules, crate training, potty training, and handling high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have a young Golden Retriever of my own. My schedule allows me flexibility for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your fur babies throughout the week. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, especially someone new. I’m very attentive, patient, caring, and I always want all pets to feel comfortable and loved while in my care. Raising my Golden Retriever has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm and positive environment for dogs. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own.
“Gail was great watching our Frankie while we were out late one evening! She’s super friendly and Frankie was so content when we got home. We’ll be booking more time with her in the future!”
“Jenny was great! She was really easy to communicate with and my puppy instantly took a liking to her! She's flexible with what I need and very kind so you can certainly trust your fur babies with her”
“We are grateful for Angela caring for our dog while we were away. Our sweet dog has been experiencing difficulties with her hind legs and we were worried about leaving her, but Angela made us feel comfortable with her care. The peace of mind was allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you, Angela!!”
About: Hello, My name is Hieu. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I met my first dog since I was 6 years old and the love for dogs all grew inside me. I love taking care of dogs and gladly do my best for each dog’s needs, as I know that every dog is special and they have different personalities . I would love to take care of your dog to be healthy and happy. I’m available every day, I will make sure that your experience with me makes you as happy as possible. I’m currently working from home full time, I’ll make sure your dog get the cares they deserved and all the requirements will be met. I would love taking your dog on a walk at the beach, hang out at the dog park, go on a long walk at the big park next to my house. I have a backyard and I live next to a big park. Your dog will always have my attentions, I would love to walk/run with your dog at the park. I have a big crate if your dog need to be crated.
“Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.”
“Jill is amazing! She was a massive help for us when we were in a bind needing care for 3 of our dogs over the holiday. She is incredibly nice and provided excellent care for our dogs! I’m not sure if she had ever watched 2 Great Danes at a time and she handled it with complete ease. Highly recommend Jill!”
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: I am a dog lover, I just can’t have one of my own yet. I’ll make sure your dog has a day full of love, fun, and perhaps treats if you allow. I will be totally available on all days marked available! So I am free to spend an entire fun day with your dog without other distractions. My fiancé does work from home as well. I have no pets of my own so your dog will be the center of attention. They will get play time of choice, walks, snuggles, toys, treats etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braintree
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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 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.
