About: Hello! I have just moved down to Plymouth from NH where I have been caring for neighborhood pets since I was a child. I am a mom of two young boys, a toddler and an infant. and I love to take walks with kids and stroller and would love to add your dog along too! I am also able to dog sit for weekends, vacations, whatever need be! Please feel free to reach out and schedule me for whatever your pet family needs. I am free to watch, walk, or care for dogs whenever needed! In the fall I will be teaching so my time will be more limited. I live in a town park with many walking/hiking trails for dogs to explore! The area is a lot of fun for dogs, heavily wooded for all the exploring! There are also plenty of swimming holes for any dogs who are water lovers! I plan to walk with my stroller and baby. For dog sitting however there are children in the home but we welcome any family friendly pups!

About: About Me Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house full of animals—sometimes five dogs at once, ranging from a St. Bernard to Chihuahuas, along with pot-bellied pigs, macaw parrots, hamsters, bunnies, cats, finches, and plenty more. Needless to say, caring for animals has always been second nature to me! I was also a vet tech in college, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals and a deeper understanding of their health, safety, and individual needs. Most recently, I became an approved foster home with Sandy Paws, which has been incredibly rewarding. My home currently includes quite the crew: Barbara Ann, my Persian cat; Pearl and Mabel, my two Boston Terriers; Taco, my bearded dragon; and Dunkin, my Polish Dwarf rabbit. I even have a koi pond! When your pet stays with me, their safety comes first. Dogs are on a leash 100% of the time when outside, and our cat never go outdoors. I also have a dedicated, private area where a dog can eat if they prefer to have their own space. I am happy to follow your pup’s exact feeding schedule and will stick closely to your instructions, including meal times, portions, medications, treats, or any other routine that helps them feel comfortable. I also take cleanliness seriously. I have a dedicated pet shower on my lower level, so after a fun stay, I can make sure your pup heads home happy, fresh, clean and squeaky clean! For the safety and comfort of every pet in my home, I do require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. This gives me a chance to meet you and your pup, learn about their personality and routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. My home is truly a place where animals are loved, cared for and treated like family. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while they’re with me. It is really the best part of my day, every day! All of my pets are on a schedule that I know like the back of our paws. Upon waking up I take turns letting the dogs outside, feeding them, giving fresh water and then play time. My cat likes to tell me that it is feeding time so I follow her to the dish. I am not fenced so I make sure ALL dogs are 100% leashed when going outside. I have a very large yard for playing and a very private driveway and street to walk them. My house is a safe space for all of the animals to free roam but also have privacy when they need it. The downstairs bathroom has my "pet spa" and then the laundry room is filled with light and a linoleum floor in case any accidents or spills happen. I can feed the animal in there as well. If I am visiting your fur baby in your home, I will treat your house with as much love and respect as I do my own.

“Sophia was great! She took our dog on a long walk and let him swim in the ocean on a hot day! Definitely recommended and will be using her again!”

About: While I may not have a dog of my own just yet, I’m a devoted cat mom and lifelong dog lover! I’ve grown up around dogs and have plenty of experience caring for the pups of friends and family, whether that means going on walks, keeping them company, or making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I decided to turn my love for animals into something meaningful by connecting with pet parents in my community and lending a helping hand! I understand that your pets are family, and I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and care I give my own cat. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra company and cuddles, I’d love to be there for them! My schedule is pretty flexible! I work part-time at Starbucks just three days a week, and spend most of my remaining time at home balancing schoolwork and fitness. This gives me plenty of availability for last minute dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Don’t hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need, and I’ll get back to you asap! Every home and pet has its own routines, and I’m happy to work with yours! Just let me know your house rules, your pet’s needs, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow beforehand

“Rebecca is great! She’s super patient and caring, she really takes into count your dogs feelings and she goes the extra mile when taking care of your pet! Shes the best! Thank you!”

About: Hello friends! My name is Taylor and I am 32 years old. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m lucky enough to fill that space by caring for a wide variety of other people’s pets and giving them my full attention. With six years of experience pet sitting, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, fish, and chickens. I also spent 5 years in the Plymouth County 4-H program, where I trained, groomed, showed, and cared for dogs throughout Massachusetts. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior and follow structured routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to learn what makes them happy. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates along with photos/videos. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work full-time as a 911 operator. This schedule includes weeknight shifts from 4pm-12am, excluding Fridays. Because of this, I usually suggest that your animal is accustomed to time apart or there’s someone who’s available to check in while I’m working. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner.

About: Friends, family and neighbors have all told me I should open a doggy day care out of my home. I offer to walk and have play dates with MANY many of our neighbors’ dogs as well as watch them over night. While I am not opening a business venture - I thought Rover would be a great way to safely and lovingly care for dogs while also making money to support myself. I have a private dog run at my apartment complex of which I have immediate access to. My building is extremely dog friendly and fellow owners are responsible. If your dog does not like to play with others or will not go to the bathroom while playing - we can skip the park and do walks only! I work part time out of the home with flexibility. My schedule is mid day to early evening and makes it possible for me to walk, feed, play with and love on the pups while also providing some structured down time. I adhere to training put in place by the owner; if your dog is crated at home, they will be crated in my home. If they are trustworthy and safe outside of their crate, then they may remain so :). A meet and greet is required.

“Meghan was so helpful in a last minute scramble and went out of the way to make it happen! 10/10”

“Shreya is communicative, friendly and Scarlett always looks forward to her walks. :) She was very receptive of my info about Scarlett as she tends to be leash reactive toward other dogs. She handles her well, no complaints!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and animals have always been a big part of my life 💛 I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I currently have a little French Bulldog at home, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, playtime, routines, and also the importance of patience and gentle care 🐶 I’m calm, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, cuddles on the couch, or just someone to keep them company, I adapt easily and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog like my own — with love, respect, and lots of attention 💛 Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! 🐾

About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.

About: We're a happy family looking to make your furry friend a member when they're here! Growing up with cats and dogs established my love of animals. My childhood dog made it to 17, and taught me a lot about handling senior animals. My wife and I currently have a 3 year old Shiba named Mikki. Shibas are notoriously intelligent and stubborn, which means we have needed to do our research. We believe this definitely helps us handle stubborn dogs, as well as finding fun methods to keep them engaged. We have been taking the utmost care with cleaning and sanitation of all surfaces, and require masks for all meets, pickups+drop offs. We also use dog safe wipes for paws and any other areas that need tending after walks. We have 7 day availability, and flexible hours for your needs. As this is our full-time job, we focus solely on our guests! They get walks 4x a day, with pee breaks in between. We are less than 5 minutes from the Quarry St dog park in Quincy, and frequently bring pups for meets/ playtime. If your dog requires any special attention, please let us know. With a large open living space, dogs gets the freedom to run around and play. They are only crated for timeouts or bedtime if that's how they generally sleep. Everyone is separated for drinking and feeding time. We follow your schedule as much as possible so they can adjust as easily as possible. Dogs have free roam of the house, and are let out to play and do business every 1-2 hours for as long as they want in our backyard. Our yard is fully fenced in, with a lot of open space and toys for everyone to play. We are always keeping an eye on them, and they are never left alone outside.

“Sarah was fantastic! She helped out very last minute, was flexible and communicative. I would recommended her to anyone, she sent great pics of my pup and clearly took great care of him.”

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.

I'm currently home from graduating college and was looking for something i would enjoy doing, and i LOVE animals, and i got introduced into Rover. I've had a dog my whole life and trained them, and would love to help other's people and their pets! I have a dog, that I feed, walk and play with everyday. I walk him for at least 15 minutes, but he likes being out and playing catch, or even play inside.

I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet, providing peace of mind for their owners. No problem for me! I work a few days a week but nothing I cannot manage. I will still be very present when staying with your dog! What’s not better than letting your pup stay in their own home instead of a kennel while you’re away?! I am a very prompt replier via phone call and text message. I will continue your daily routine with your pup as if you never left & I will always give them care/ love like they are my own:)

About: Experienced dog owners who will take your dog to the beach multiple times on a daily basis! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible!
