About: I have done in home visits and dog walking for pets of all types. 3 years of experience. Tons of availability. True animal lover at heart. Many references available. I am currently not working and I'm looking for a few regular gigs to keep me busy. I love to walk and hike. I love people and animals in general. I currently am a homemaker with a fenced in yard, three cats at home, and a dog nephew who gets dropped off for at my discretion for either a long day of daycare or a sleepover.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging from puppies to seniors. owning two cats myself and have owned a dog previously i am fun loving and charismatic to the needs of the individual I work 7-3 but am able to go for walks before and after, during the evening, and anytime on weekends. i am willing to take a range of walks from short quick walks to long walks. I care for my pets in my home by cleaning up after the litter box and walks, feeding regularly, and providing lots of love and pats.
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
About: I worked with ARL Boston, where I gained expertise on animal behavior and training, nutrition, and basic veterinary care procedures such as vaccinations, insulin injections, and treating a variety of ailments. I encountered a variety of animal breeds of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from sharky puppies to old grouchy senior dogs who despise going inside after a good stroll. In addition, I majored in animal science in high school and am currently pursuing courses in animal behavior and zoology in college. I am available on weekdays and weekends with a minimum of one day's notice. On same-day notice, I may still be available and accepting requests, so please contact me. However, with shorter notice, it is less likely that I will be available. In the client's house, I’m going to use caution when meeting their animal (I am in their space and need to make a positive first impression). Even if they are known to be pleasant, I will still take my time getting to know them. This allows me to earn an animal's trust while ensuring that I am aware of their behavioral cues and handling preferences. Once mutual trust is established, we’ll have a great time enjoying all of their favorite activities together while staying safe.
About: Hi! I've had two dogs in my lifetime, and have experience at a dog day care training facility for 2+ years. I have experience in walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work part time in the mornings, but I am available any time in the early afternoons and evenings. If needed in the morning, let me know and we can work something out! My knowledge and constant attention to each individual pet's needs is crucial to proper care. Whether it be play, feeding or simply being there to make them comfortable.
About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
“Christine was amazing!! Communicated well and took excellent care of Finn. It set my mind as ease while at work, knowing she took such great care of him. Thank you, again!! Highly recommend others reach out to her for their pet needs.”
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.
About: Hi! My name is Trystan. I grew up with big dogs and currently own three cats. I have experience taking care of pets of all sizes and am excited to be best friends with yours! My current schedule gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the week. I am able to accomodate last-minute bookings, daytime visits, and consistent care routines, even on holidays! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn pet's routines, personality, and needs as well as give them lots of affection when families are away. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can know their pets are safe and happy.
“Melisa went above and beyond taking care of my cat while we were away for the holidays. She was punctual and extremely thorough and our cat warmed up to her very quickly! She kept me updated and gave me such peace of mind. Definitely book her, she’s the best!!”
“I highly recommend Jill to care for loved pets. Our cats were meticulously cared for with kindness and much needed warmth. Her diligence, empathy and concern are genuine and irreplaceable. I will be requesting her services in the future.”
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. One of them takes medication 2x day which must have not been any problem since I never heard from her. She also sent pictures of my babies each visit. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them while I was away. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone I know. Thank you Elizabeth :)”
“Diana did a really nice job caring for our two kitties whilst we were away on vacation for two weeks. She insured they had enough food (and adjusted as needed), water, brushed our long haired Kitty, scooped the litter boxes, and played with them both. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail daily and also a few packages that arrived. We really appreciated Diana’s attention to detail and the wonderful daily updates she provided on Rover. It gave us peace of mind that our fur babies were in good hands and well cared for so we could enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Diana. She’s a sweetheart. Thanks so much, Diana!”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and have had 2 of my own prior to college, so I know firsthand how much they mean to the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight sitting, I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. Animals bring me so much joy, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. I am a recent college grad who will be able to work until July 1. I have a lot of open availability so please feel free to message me for more specific times. In my home they’ll get plenty of love, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. If I’m caring for your pet at your place, I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and snuggles. I’ll keep things clean, give them all the attention they need, and send you updates and pictures so you know they’re happy and cared for.
About: Hello Canine Parents, I love and welcome dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. While you are away, I will feed, walk and play with your with puppy or dog with love and compassion. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully monitor interactions and create a calm environment where your fur-baby can relax and enjoy themselves. I will care for your dog as if they were my own! My schedule would be based on your dog's needs. I am available for daily check-ins, over night stays and daily walks. Your dog's needs come first. When caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comfortable and stress free as possible. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, portion sizes, treats, medications and any special dietary needs. Fresh water will always be available. Daily walks and exercise would be tailored to your dog's age, energy level and your preferences. Exercise could be a short/long walk, short bathroom breaks, playtime in the yard or indoor activities. Companionship, affection and attention are a must when caring for your pet.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I have been a sitter for friends and family's pets for many years. I recently worked at Boston's best dog walkers. I love taking care of dogs. It's more than just work for me, it's something I enjoy very much. I am currently a Senior at Bridgewater State University. But my availability is pretty open. I am only taking two classes in the Spring. I would like to work with animals at least 5 days a week. I am available on weekends and holidays as well. I am a responsible and reliable person. You can count on me to be clean and respectful in your home. And rest assured that your pet will be genuinely cared for and taken care of.
About: As a former teacher & current attorney, I love research, learning & value being prepared. I'll take the same approach when caring for your pet. I am attentive and responsive. I have researched how to care for dogs and behaviors that should raise concerns, and I acknowledge that every dog is different, so a custom approach to care is required. I am eager to meet you and learn about your care routine and expectations so I can make sure your pet feels like you never left. I am a full-time attorney and landlord, so I do not have any pets, but I love and miss spending time with them which is why this role is perfect. I no longer live with a pet, but in my prior apartment, my roommate had a kitten, so we worked together to train and take care of him. It required a lot of patience. Care included feeding him, providing water, monitoring the litter box, researching and implementing effective ways to deter unwanted behaviors, making the house cat-friendly.

Excellent experience with Brian! He took his time to ensure Ellie got the attention, love and care she needs. He also allowed time for her to get out her "zoomies". And he actually spent longer than the paid time with her playing and walking her. Overall, I would absolutely work with Brian again. 10/10
Svitlana went above and beyond in caring for our elderly dog and elderly cat in two visits coving dinner and a 2nd visit taking the dog out in the rain, then helping the cat eat more, as he only eats a little at a time. She was a pleasure to meet at the meet & great and a please to work with around this day of two visits.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brockton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Brockton 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 Brockton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
