About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and breeds from the age of 8. I have always been a natural dog lover! Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines. I follow instructions carefully and provide calm, compassionate, and individualized care, no matter the population or demographic I am working with! I am currently in my masters program for applied behavior analysis, gaining my fieldwork for ABA. I have flexible hours and often have availability periodically throughout the day! If communicated prior, I am easily able to accommodate most schedules. I communicate with the owner to ensure I understand each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, play, or medication all as directed, as each pet has their own individual needs! My priory is to maintain attention while keeping the clients home clean and secure.
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 and a big goofy black lab named Larry. I love to take walks with my dog 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! There are also plenty of swimming holes for any dogs who are water lovers! I plan to walk with my stroller and baby. I do have my own black lab who loves other dogs who can walk with us or stay home if you prefer! For dog sitting however there are children in the home and my dog but we welcome any family friendly pups!
“Avery was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Communication was excellent, she sent thoughtful updates, looked after my home as if it were her own, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“I could tell on Wyatt's meet and greet that Andrea was a compassionate animal care giver. Wyatt took to her immediate and by the end of the visit they were fast friends. I was able to go away with my mind at ease that Wyatt will be well cared for. Andrea sent updates and pictures with every visit letting me know he was okay. I now look forward to getting away more because I know my skittish rescue dog is in good hands. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Andrea.”
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.
“Kelsie was so good with our senior dog, Cash! Our updates were thorough, thoughtful and caring. My kids loved seeing the pictures she sent! It was very comforting to know Cash was in such good care. I highly recommend Kelsie’s services!”
About: I grew up with a cockapoo for 15 years and have a ton of experience with other dogs. I have watched dogs for years and have cared for puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with specific needs, etc. I make sure I keep your dog in its normal routine to make them feel like their owner never left and allow them a sense of familiarity!! I’m currently a college student and work part-time in the summer so I am available most days of the week whether it is just for a few hours during the day or even overnights. I treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own dog. I want to make sure they’re entertained and don’t feel lonely.
“Breanna is amazing, very caring knowledgeable of dogs. She is very trustworthy,And caring. She did drop in for my two dogs while I was on vacation. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lea did a superb job with Sugar & Spice, giving them their food, medication, and water, and making sure they were provided with clean kitty litter. When she had a question she called me, as I had asked her to do. We enjoyed receiving photos of our cats! Having Lea care for your pets will give you peace of mind.”
About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.
“Ava's a great communicator and very knowledgeable about dogs. My skittish elderly chihuahua mix was immediately comfortable with her. Ava is punctual, flexible and compassionate to both humans and canines. I've already re-booked.”

About: Hi! My name is Abby and I am 36 years old. I work from home Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:00pm. I have been watching pets since I was a kid! My uncle next door had a dog who had 3 litters of golden retriever mixes. I helped him raise and take care of them. In college, I was a nanny for a family with a lab and black cat. When they were out of town I took care of their pets. I nannied for a second family a few years later and babysat their golden retriever, bunny, and 2 persian cats when they would go on vacation as well. At times I would also babysit my sister’s chihuahua mix overnight. I had two cats for about 10 years.I also own two sugar gliders. I have a miniature pincher mix, she is the friendliest dog and gets along with any dog or person. Couch potato all day kind of dog but loves to go play with other dogs at the dog park. Pets and children are my specialty. I love all animals even if I am allergic to most of them :). I work from home mon-fri 7am-3pm. My dog gets me out of the house and if she has a friend to walk with or visit, it would be a fun playdate for her as well! I have given meds to both my cats since they are seniors. My sister’s dog had pills she had to take as well, which i would do when i babysat her. I am pretty easy going with what i need to do for who ever asks me to watch their pets because I care about what they need. I am the girl at a friends house playing with their cat and dog most of the time.
About: I have a pug named chunk he is my other son. I would love to have a dog to watch so he has a friend to play with & be around. He's friendly & loves to cuddle. He also loves to run around but gets out of breath quick. I live in an apartment with a dog park and also a fenced in outdoor patio area and a big yard to walk around. I have dog beds, and crate if your dog uses them. My 11 & 9 year old sons love dogs & would spend the whole day playing with them. I’m currently home most of the time I’m babysitting about eight hours a week in the middle of the day so I have plenty of time to be with your dog. Your dog will be leashed outside and safe inside abc out. Whatever you want me to do with your dog I definitely do as needed.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Duxbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
