“Caroline was so kind and patient with my two dogs Honey and Chessie. I would absolutely recommend and hire her again to walk my dogs.”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care so your dog gets exercise, attention, and plenty of affection while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. Having owned multiple dogs myself and taking care of others dogs while they were away on vacation. I work freelance and have a flexible schedule so I can be there when your dog needs me to be. I can also take the time to make sure your dog is getting the attention they need while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every visit. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe situations, and pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, food (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, making sure doors are locked and everything is left just as I found it. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. **Please note** Beginning September 1, 2026 I will be working from 8:45AM. My teenage son (more of a dog lover than even me!) arrives home at 3:15P - if your dog cannot be on their own from 8:45-3:15 we would not be the right fit. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

About: I went to Norfolk aggie for highschool, while i was there i’ve taking dog classes such as, grooming, training. I’ve taken veterinary classes, farm classes. I am currently a dog grooming for work. My family has also dog boarding and walking on rover for 10 years! i’m currently a dog groomer, my days off are wednesdays and thurdays. I can dog walk before and after work depends on the day! I will follow your instructions with your pet, send lots a pictures and videos. I will spend one on one time with them as if they were my own!

About: When I originally thought of pet care, I had my dog Lily in mind. Lily came with her quirks and boundaries that were necessary that anyone who came in contact with her had to follow. Anyone who cared for my dog made sure to follow any concerns I had and made sure to be flexible with me as she is quite literally my child. With who Lily is, I brought that thought process into how I care for others dogs. Although I’ve been around all kinds of dogs my whole life with my dad being a trainer and boarder himself - I have a different type of respect and bond with animals and their owners. I want to make sure I am giving the care that you would give your animal - and that you feel the utmost comfortable leaving your precious pup in my care. If you have a puppy that is currently training I will make sure to follow the routine that you are working on. I am always available to any of your questions or concerns and able to answer back very quickly. I am currently enrolled in a training program for obedience training and look forward to offering services of that nature soon, and other training as I get going. All in all, dogs/animals are my world, and you can see it through my love, Lily. She requires extra love and kisses - but also as a rescue is timid of loud noises, barking dogs etc. I’ve continued to preach understanding dogs boundaries, and making them feel the utmost comfortable within their environment. I understand not every dog likes to be smothered with love, and some find love as just simply going on a walk. It would be a pleasure keeping your pup comfortable and happy! I will treat your dog as if they are my own, and will definitely take some cute photos for you! I have great flexibility and willing to work with you as needed. Even if my schedule is blocked off - PLEASE send a message. I try to work with everyone as much as I can. I have reliable transportation - and happy to pick up anything last minute!! I only care for pets within your own home - as my pup at home is a grumpy teenager who likes her space. I also like to do home sitting because it’s less stress on the pup and they’re more comfortable in their environment. I am happy to do as many meet and greets as you would like - I have many references and lots of returning clients. I typically will request a note of certain important things (food amt/time to eat/ favorite toys/ odd behaviors etc.). I keep very open communication between myself and my clients and will keep you updated as much as you'd like. I understand that safety and trust is a very big factor, so I am comfortable with any active cameras inside or outside to make you feel comfortable. Some clients will have me shut the indoor ones off once I arrive - and others have kept them on. Please make sure to provide me any information that you feel necessary - I am very easy going and happy to follow any specific guidelines you may have.

About: Hi! I'm Avery, your dog's new best friend! I am a junior in college pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Political Science, a South Shore and Boston native, and open to serving my community. I am very flexible and willing when it comes to helping you and your pets find quality care! I have seven years of experience dog sitting, experience with administering medication via pill and syringe, taking care of up to four dogs and two cats at a time for over two weeks, elder animal experience, and have been on Rover for a year and a half now. I took a break, but am happy to be back! Giving your pet the care that they deserve is my mission and many owners can attest to that. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish which gave me years of experience in animal care. I am responsible, timely, and reliable. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! I am a college student with flexible hours, especially Friday through Monday. I have an internship and I waitress, but my hours at the restaurant can change. My internship is 9-5 Tuesday through Thursday, but I have a two hour lunch break so I can check in, feed, and spend time with your pets. As a homebody, I have no problem staying home with your dog or cat and I will provide you with frequent check ins. Pet care is easy for me because my longest shift waitressing will be 3:30-10:30. Creating a safe and trusting environment with pets and their owners is crucial! I think that pets are like your children and that they deserve the same love, attention, effort, and respect as people. It’s important to keep them well nourished, active, and be kind to them. Animals are our friends and communicate differently, so paying attention to their needs is key. I will treat your home and pet with nothing but respect.

About: Safe to say I grew up in a big dog family. Ever since I've been alive, my family had 2 to 3 dogs in the house, both big and small dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and definitely have an attachment to them. Have been traveling for work for a few years so havn't had an opportunity to get one myself, but recently purchased a new home and getting a new pup is high on the list of priorities. I've been dog sitting for friends and relatives for many years and my wife is just as big of a dog lover. Looking forward to answering any questions! I've been recently working from home, so typically very available now to work around others schedule and making sure no dog is left alone for too long. Have a backyard that does not have a fence yet, but able to put up temporary fence when any visitors are here. Can board the dog however the owner perfers (crate or no crate). Single family home in family friendly neighborhood near Kingston and Duxbury.

“Catherine comes just once a week but is amazingly punctual and focused on our hyper-energetic standard doodle...a life saver for us (physically challenged seniors) for giving Gus exercise on weekends when he isn't at daycare. So happy to have found her on Rover.”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and fish. I have done overnights taking care of dogs. I would clean my neighbor cats litter box and feed them when they were on vacation. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter in the cat room. I’m going to be working part time over the summer 7:45-1:00pm, around early in the morning and afternoon to night. I can figure where to fit them in! I will always double check if they’ve gone the bathroom, been fed, walk and overall happiness when I’m at the home. I want satisfaction for you and the pet(s).

About: Growing up I have always had dogs, caring for pets of different sizes and breeds. Over the course of my life I have had 4 dogs - two medium sized mix breed dogs, and currently two large labs. Caring for both smaller and larger dogs I feel capable caring for dogs of different energy levels and needs. I have also dog sat for friends and family since I was 16. While at school in Colorado, I often took care of my friend's family dog, a golden doodle named Ruby. I sometime spent weekends with Ruby while they were on vacation as well. I am currently home for the next two months before I begin an internship in Barcelona. During my time at home I am spending time with my family and doing odd jobs to save up for my travels. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I provide a safe, attentive, and pet-friendly environment where dogs receive plenty of supervision and companionship. I spend time outside with my dogs every day, whether that means relaxing in the sun, playing, or going for walks. While my yard is not fenced, they are never left unattended outdoors. I always keep a close eye on them and ensure they remain safe and secure.

About: I grew up with dogs within my family and through friends. I watched my neighbors dogs throughout high school, as well as the dogs for the families I babysat for.

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: I have had my two cockapoos for 10 years, and have recently adopted a 3 month old kitten! I have cared for many dog breeds, cats, even chickens and bunnies! I’ve been in the pet sitting business for 11 years, and I love bonding with every pet I meet. During the summer months, you'll often find me walking dogs along the beach or keeping cats comfortable and cool indoors! I'm available throughout the week, with the exception of Wednesdays from 10:00 AM–1:00 PM and Fridays from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM, unless otherwise noted. Please note that beginning September 3, 2026, I will no longer be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thank you for considering me! I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make sure they receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure fresh water is always available and food is provided according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. I also take time to engage with the pet through play and walks. Cleanliness is very important to me, so I make sure feeding areas and any used supplies are kept clean and organized.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.

About: Hello! I’m Ava, and I want to care for your animals with the same love I show for mine :). I’ve been walking and house sitting mainly dogs but I also have experience caring for cats of all demeanors! I have been an animal lover as far back as I can remember, and I love making animals feel the same happiness and joy they bring us. Rain or shine I’ll make sure to give your pet the best experience possible. I have two dogs myself, a 10 year old lab and a 15 y/o Pomeranian with arthritis, so I have experience with big dogs as well as elderly dogs and the extra gentle care they require. I adapt to all dogs demeanors, whether they love an energetic playmate or are needing extra gentle care, I’ll accommodate to what they need. I look forward to meeting your fur baby soon! Pet care has a big place in my heart, so I set aside a lot of time to do it :) Monday - Friday, 6am - 8pm. But if needed I can stretch the hours to make time for your animals! I am willing to take your pup to your favorite places to walk if you want them to have an extra scenic experience on a path in the woods or park. I drive a Subaru Outback with accommodations for taking large and small dogs. Whether in the house or on a leash I will provide your pet the best experience possible, and provide my own doggie bags for walks!
