House Sitting Dartmouth

“Jenna is an absolute angel! I could write a book about how magical she is but for now, I'll give you some of the highlights. She is sweet and soft spoken which was a blessing when she stayed in my home to take care of our 2 kitties, Squeaky and Jingles. Squeaky is pretty socialable but Jingles hides when she hears a different voice in the house. She scares very easily and is afraid, so when Jenna started sending me photos and videos, I was in awe! Jingles was hanging out with Jenna, rubbing up against her legs and purring. Jingles came out of hiding and had already decided that Jenna was special. She truly is an animal lover and she took care of their every need and then some! It was amazing how I could relax and not worry about my furbabies in her care. She sent lots of pics and videos twice a day which made me so happy. When we returned, everything was immaculate and everything cat related was spotless. She is so kind and thoughtful....a very rare find! We just love her and my furbabies can't wait to see her again! Thank you again Jenna from the bottom of all of our hearts. We will only have Jenna here in the future! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I have always loved dogs, have taken care of my own, clients, family members, and friends. They just need love and patience and I am here for it. To take care of their needs while you focus on important tasks. I also have a waste removal business called Scoop & Troop. I am available all day for the days that aren’t listed as available on the calendar. It fits into my routine perfect to attend to pets needs and be patient with them. I will make sure and be on top of keeping them safe, fed, hydrated, and protected. Anything that poses a risk to help them escape will be closed off.

“Leesha is one of the best sitters we've found on Rover! She's responsive, communicative, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are cared for! Leesha has housesat for shorter periods of time for us, but recently watched our two dogs and cat (and chickens!) for a week. She battled some loose poops, a food change, and the addition of extra meds all in a few days, but she didn't bat an eye! She even cleaned Leah's litter box without me asking! It's easy to see how much she cares about animals and we would trust her with our crew in a heartbeat!!”

“My wife and I had a wedding to attend down in Florida, and most of the friends and family that would normally watch our dogs were unavailable. We reached out to Kristie on short notice to see if she was available to watch them while we were away. She responded promptly, and came by to meet our dogs (Bandit & Bailey) within a couple of days. I could immediately tell she knew what she was doing as she walked through our door and was able to deflect our crazy jumper (Bandit, high-energy 100lb black lab) effortlessly. After talking over our typical routine, and playing a bit of fetch outside, I felt confident that she would be a great fit. We booked her that day. Days later, we finally made our way down to Florida and our pups were in Kristie's hands. From the very first day, she did a great job following their typical routine, and gave them quite a bit of exercise playing fetch out in the back yard. She sent a bunch of photos, and it was clear to us that they were very happy doggos! It really put our minds at ease, and allowed us to enjoy our little wedding vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Kristie to have her watch our dogs again. She did a great job, and as I mentioned earlier, our black lab Bandit can be handful, and she handled it without a problem. For anyone else reading this, look no further, Kristie is the best.”

About: I have had a dog my whole life and love playing with him, walking him, and running with him. I always take care of the dog I used to have and play with him all day long. He was very active and playful so I am used to dogs who are a little bit more energetic. I have a passion for animals and love being around them and having them in my house. I am super friendly and will always be willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. I will provide many different things for us to do including: going for a walk around a park or even the beach. I will always accept any dog of a variety of sizes to walk and play with. I used to also walk with Wag! for about 5 years! I love playing with the dogs bringing them for walks and just being around them. I can walk at night during the week and all day on weekends. I am a teacher so summers I am more free to walk more as well! I will do whatever is needed to provide the best care. I always follow instructions carefully and never forget anything! I always provide extra time for play and cuddles!

About: As a wildlife biologist, I’ve worked hands-on with animals, so I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice small changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for senior, special-needs, anxious, and reactive dogs, plus puppies, cats, and small animals. I grew caring for German Shepherds and spent 11 years with my own cattle dog mix, Topo, through old age and health challenges. I send photos and daily reports, reinforce basic training, and love taking dogs on trail and beach adventures. I work as a scientist during the week, so pet care fits around that schedule. I’m most flexible on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often do early-morning walks before my day starts. I have some availability Monday through Wednesday near Mashpee. For overnight stays, house sitting, or longer vacations, I can arrange extra availability, so just ask about your dates. I can usually pick up and drop off, and I’ll confirm times with you ahead of each booking. In my home (boarding): Dogs are always supervised and on leash for potty breaks, since my yard isn’t fenced. They get daily walks and playtime, and can sleep in a crate or free roam, whichever they’re used to. I live with my husband and two young children, so boarding is best for dogs who are comfortable around kids, and I supervise all interactions. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I stick to your pet’s routine, keep your home secure, and lock up whenever I leave. My background as a wildlife biologist makes me careful and observant, so I’ll notice changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and tell you right away. You’ll get photos and a short update after every visit. For everyone: I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your pet can see how we get along. If anything seems wrong, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your vet’s instructions.

About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life! Taking care of them was a life long duty of mine! However, I am new to Rover! I don’t have much on my plate at the moment so I can easily take up any opportunities brought my way. I can work almost every day of the week except weekends! My pets (3 dogs and 1 cat) are trained and get daily exercise as well as medically cared for. I would care for every clients pets like my own.

“Claire was great! She helped us out on short notice for dog sitting at our home for a long weekend. She was great with our dog, playing with her in the yard, and following her routine. She sent me updates throughout the stay - both pictures and messages. She was very respectful of our home, leaving it spotless.”

“Darcy did an amazing job on our first overnight away from our pups. She followed our instructions to a t and left our home and pups like she found them. Very friendly and great with updates. Look forward to booking her again in the future!”

“Rochelle was a fantastic pet sitter for my Lucy girl. I had a last minute request and she was able to help out on short notice. Lucy received plenty of walks and excellent care. I was also kept up to date on how Lucy was doing and received plenty of photos. 10/10 will reach out to Rochelle again.”

“Audrey just jumped right in and was at home with the dogs. She's a cheerful, contentious, reliable provider who genuinely seems to love the dogs. We're thankful to have her assistance.”

About: My own dogs have lived a wonderful life. They know their boundaries and are spoken to with love and affection. I give them plenty of exercise and am sensitive to their safety and comfort (especially in the heat of summer). As of June 13th I'm on summer vacation from work. I'm totally flexible until September. Other than a few appointments, I'm available for your pet needs. I live in a quiet, safe, neighborhood, perfect for dog walking. I have a huge yard. If I want a fenced yard, my daughter lives down the street with the perfect private back yard.

About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for several years. I have two cats at home who I adore! Would love to help you have peace of mind for your furry animals while your away at work or on vacation I work from home as an accountant full time and have flexibility to go ensure your animals are happy and taken care of while you are away. I have two cats at home one who needs medicine twice a day so I’m very familiar with animal health care and administering medicine. I have animal say for several family and friends and always enjoy being able to hang out with them whether it’s some needed snuggles a walk or playing with their favorite toy.

“Duncan was super attentive and genuinely caring. He understood how to navigate the 3 very different personalities of our pups. Great communication and reliable. We look forward to having Duncan dog sit again.”

About: I love dogs and I’ve had a dog since I was two years old so most of my life I’ve had dogs and I’ve like had experience with them I have a dog myself, so I’m able to take care of a dog very easily.

Take them out for a walk and also keeping an eye on the dog and giving them attention. Just always make sure you’re aware of your environment.

I’m always happy to be flexible and work around your schedule too! I currently have no other animals, so I have the space to create a safe and warm environment for your pet. Very close to lots of open green spaces for walks and time outside.

“Incredible experience! Chey is so responsive and professional and seemed to really enjoy hanging out with our pups, they also seem to have really enjoyed their time with her!! 10/10 will definitely recommend and call again in the future with no hesitation.”

“5/5 Stars! Highly Recommend! Xinwei is hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever used! While we have worked with pet walkers in the past, Xinwei was our very first time trusting someone to stay overnight with our pups, and he completely blew us away. From start to finish, his attention to detail and thoughtful care exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to truly understand our pups' routines, personalities, and specific needs, making sure every detail, from feeding and exercise to late night comfort, was followed to a T. Knowing our dogs were in such attentive, loving hands for their first overnight stay gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond being wonderful with our pups, Xinwei was exceptionally respectful of our home. We returned to find everything immaculate, honestly, even better than we left it! Xinwei is genuinely kind, reliable, and deeply professional. We look forward to using him again and definitely will, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy sitter!”
