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.
“Wonderful person to watch my cat! Followed all of my instructions and my cat, who is very shy, actually came out and started to interact with her by the end of the visit.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She left detailed feedback along with photos every-time she was with my dogs. She cleaned up any messes that were there and made sure they were truly taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future.”
About: Treat Others the Way You Would Like To Be Treated, and that includes animals. I have always been an animal lover since I was a child. Spending my time helping out in animal shelters every opportunity I had, watching over and caring for the dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles of my friends, my friends families, my family and my own animals. I’ve walked, house sat and fostered many animals. I am a firm believer that animals are incredibly intelligent and if you give respect, you receive respect. I work in Dog Hiking. I work with a variety of breeds and personalities. I am also volunteering under a recovery dog training organization where I’m learning a variety of dog training skills. My availability has recently opened up. I am in a position to go forward with the next steps in my life and begin building connections in a new area. I work certain hours a week and now will be scheduling my outside commitments based on whatever dog walking and sitting routine I create. Every pet is different and has different needs. I personally create a schedule for each animal starting with their name, timing how to meet their own personal needs, whether it’s exercise, socializing, eating habits, medications etc. I show up on time and I am there for them, that is how I do my job because I care.
“Ashley was awesome! She agreed to do a meet and greet and overall was so timely, helpful, and attentive to Flufflyini! He adored her and had a very peaceful and quiet day with her. Ashley was very flexible and was great in scheduling and super responsive! Thank you so much, Ashley!”
“You absolutely should book Taylor! I hesitate to write this cause you’ll steal her from me, but our dog love love loves her! She has house sat and the house was perfect when we got back - she even left a cute note! And we’ve done drop ins and walks. She also responds last minute! 10 stars all around.”
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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10years. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to seniors. I am educated to give medications and CPR. I’ve worked with all ranges of dog breeds and sizes. I am a part-time college student at Massasoit Community College and also work as a spa receptionist part-time. I’m typically home for over half the day giving, allowing for me to give your furry friend the love and attention they need a deserve! I am a very active person and love to exercise, meaning your fur baby will also get lots of exercise. If they are social I would love to take them on a hike or out running errands with me.
About: I've watched my friends dogs, my families animals. I love being around them and being able to have fun and go outside and play with them! I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday job but it is very lienant and I get holidays off. I have free time in the morning and night! I live right near a park and trails. My house is secure and quite. Big enough for a animal to stay here. Plenty of outdoor activities!!
About: I have a 3 year old Australian shepherd who is very friendly and loves other dogs! I’ve been taken care of friends dogs for many many years of all ages and sizes and breeds and they can all rely on me. I make my own schedule with work so I can be very flexible. I work hybrid so sometimes I leave the house for an hour or 2 for work but then come home and do more work. I have a front yard that’s not fenced in but also a backyard that is fenced it. I have an Australian shepherd that loves the company of another fur baby!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and lived with them since I was 10. Growing up, I attended group dog training classes with my family dogs. Family, friends and neighbors have asked me to care for, walk, feed and bathe for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens and rabbits. I’m currently working from home and have the flexibility to stay with dogs all day or to walk a few times a day. I’m available during the week and weekends to house sit depending on my availability. I can’t care for dogs in my apartment, but I’ll gladly care for pets in your home! If instructed, I can crate your dog while you are away or clean up dog messes in or outside your home. With your permission, I would love to bring your pet a treat or toy to establish trust as long as they are not allergic. Happy to accommodate and make your pet as comfortable as possible during our time together!
“Corrina was fantastic! Always on time. Responsive. Always checked in with updates and photos. Cared about Astro not just about the task. I highly recommend and will be hiring her again for future needs. Astro and I are very pleased!”
“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.”
About: I have a cuddly sweet cat and an energetic mini schnauzer that i love and care for. I find comfort from animals because they are some of the best friends a human can have. I'm home full time with a flexible schedule, so I'm available to tend to your pet needs without interference and my availability is always up to date. Lots of positive reinforcement and treats for good behavior, providing them with engaging playtime, walks, pets, and cuddles as needed to build a rewarding relationship with them
“Katherine went above and beyond in just a single visit. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, especially cats. Finding a trustworthy cat sitter can be surprisingly difficult, so we feel incredibly lucky to have found Katherine!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braintree
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!
Pauline was AMAZING! We had to book last minute and she responded right away, which gave us such peace of mind. She was reliable, professional, and so sweet with our pup. We got great pictures and it was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Pauline again!

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 .

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.
