I am currently an undergrad student home for the summer and have plenty of free time to take care of all your pets needs !

I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and no matter who’s they are, I treat them all like my own. I’m currently working part-time, only on weekends for the most part, so I have lots of time on my hands to take care of your fuzzy friends. I have two sweet pets currently, a small dog and a cat, that can easily be separated from your pet if they are staying in my home!
About: I’m a reliable, patient caregiver experienced with puppies, seniors, and shy dogs. I focus on safe walks, positive routines, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have a flexible weekly schedule, so I can reliably fit dog walks into my day. I’m available for morning, midday, and early afternoon walks throughout the week.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I can remember. Experienced in dog sitting, walking, calming down and grooming, with a wide range of dog types, and ages. I have a very bubbly personality, and I enjoy staying active. I’m currently working part-time one to two days a week so I have a very open schedule to take dogs on daily walks or sit when they need be. I’ve cared for pets in many different ways from walking to sitting to giving medication and providing comfort when anxious or scared. My dog in particular does not do well around loud noises so needs to be comforted during those times and cared for carefully.
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!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had three cats and three dogs before. I have helped provide medications to both a cat and a dog.

I am a college student going into my sophomore year of college. While I am home for the summer, I am looking for nearby Petcare opportunities. My schedule is very open besides one week in August. I have two cats and two dogs myself. I care for my dogs by taking them out on a daily walk and providing them with food and water each day. They also get a lot of playtime. I care for my cats by providing them with food and water each day. One of my cats has a hyperactive thyroid so each morning and night I make sure to give him his daily medication. I have looked after my neighbor's cats by cleaning their litter box and feeding them each day with some play time and treats. I have also looked after my neighbor's bunnies. This involved feeding them their kibble with cut-up apples and carrots. I also changed their hay and water. Along with this I have watched over friend's dogs by playing with them, taking them out for walks, and providing food and water.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Duxbury on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duxbury. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
