About: I love dogs of any size and personality. I have experience working with golden retrievers, labs Jack Russell‘s GSP, hounds and many other dogs of all sizes.I may be a bit biased but golden retrievers are my absolute favourite. It would be my pleasure to walk, play or keep your goldens company on your busy days. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t have any pets at this time as I travel too much for work but I look forward to being your dogs temporary dog mom! I work shift work and often have days off during the week. My schedule would be ideal for someone working Monday to Friday who needs help with their pet durring working hours Monday- Friday and occasional nights and weekends. I plan to give your pets the best care so I will only have pets from one house hold at a time to ensure your pets have my full attention

About: Hello there! I'm an enthusiastic pet lover with 10 years of professional pet care experience. I also have several years of veterinary experience and actively work at an emergency clinic! With a household full of playful cats and dogs, I know just what it takes to keep your furry pals happy and healthy while you're out. Let's make sure your pets have a paws-itively purr-fect time! I work at home, as well as a veterinary Clinic, so your pet will never be alone during their stay and will always have the care and affection they need ❤️ meaning I can bring them with me to work! ***Current off work, so I will be able to stay in home with your pet at all times! With my professional experience, clients in the past have given me keys to their homes, and have trusted me with not only their property but their fur babies as well. I have experience working with Reactive animals and handling difficult situations that may arise during walks or visits. I do have pets of my own, however, if your pet is not very keen on saying hi to other dogs & cats, that is okay! I have made adjustments to the house so that I am able to keep your pets and my own can be completely seperate.

About: Because I have a resident cat of my own, I exclusively accept cat guests to maintain a calm and safe environment. My home is completely cat-proofed, and I will make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free during their stay I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to spend quality time with our guest cats. Since I love felines, I dedicate my routine to their care, ensuring they get fed on time, have clean litter boxes, and receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. We have a resident cat at home, so we exclusively board cats. We have extra spare rooms available to provide a safe, quiet, and private space for your kitty to adjust comfortably. I always keep a close eye on their safety and ensure a stress-free environment during their stay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bridgewater is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Bridgewater 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.

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 .

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 , 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
