“Deb is an incredible dog sitter. We boarded our 1.5 year old Ruby with Deb and her great dogs for 5 nights. Deb has the exact attention to detail and care that you give your own dog which is all you can ask for. She went above and beyond and we will certainly go back to her for any future needs. Thanks again Deb!”

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for my own pets and am comfortable with routines, attention, and companionship they need. I'm currently employed fulltime as a probation officer, but I am retiring in the near future, and I will have more time to devote to being a pet sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets would be something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I am happy to build my day around their needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also understand that pets do best when their normal routines are maintained, so I'll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable while you're away. I enjoy exploring new places, but I am equally happy spending time at home with a furry companion. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in someone's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets receive their meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I want pet owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for by someone responsible, dependable, and genuinely happy to be there. I understand that every pet has different need and personalities, so I take time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I am also respectful of the home and keep things clean and tidy.

“This was my second time having Jessica watch my dogs. She kept them overnight for me and I couldn’t have been more happy with her service! She constantly kept me updated on how they were doing, sent pictures, and gave me a full recap of their entire stay. I will certainly continue to have her take care of my puppers in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.

Melissa was so easy going, kept us informed through out his stay, sent pics and videos and even took him on a hike! I felt like he was with someone I knew while he was with Melissa and Sunny! Highly recommend and look forward to more sleepovers for Charlie!”

About: We’ve cared for dogs on and off for the past 14 years and have always had a genuine love for animals. We have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and routines. As a couple, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and overnight care. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We are generally busy during the weekdays, but we have plenty of availability from Friday through Monday. This makes us especially flexible for weekend boarding, extended stays, and overnight care. We’re happy to work around your dog’s normal routine and provide the consistency, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away. We want every dog staying with us to feel like they’re at a second home. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for walks and relaxation. We will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences. We also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so we’re happy to provide updates and photos throughout their stay

About: I’ve cared for cats and volunteered in cat rescue for over 20 years. I have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors trust with their pets. I currently volunteer in animal rescue, where I care for and foster kittens, senior cats, and cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring their health. As a licensed Community Health Worker with over 20 years in healthcare, I bring patience, attention to detail, and reliability to every visit. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, provide enrichment and affection, and keep owners updated with photos and detailed visit reports. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is currently one of my main priorities, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and provide pets with the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and many holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, medication, playtime, or companionship, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I communicate promptly and provide updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for animals is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare, am a licensed Massachusetts Community Health Worker, and volunteer and foster with the MSPCA of Cape Cod and It’s All About the Animals, Rochester where I regularly care for and foster cats of all ages, including those requiring medications and special medical care. I understand how important it is to earn your trust, so I carefully follow every instruction regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and household routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensure doors and gates remain secure, and always provide detailed updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Taylor and Tyler were amazing hosts to Orion. He seemed to have an adjustment period with the other dogs and kitties but they were patient, communicative, and extremely understanding of his behavior as he settled in. This is a fun household and I know Orion is buzzing after so much energy around. I’d definitely recommend them for any type of fur baby!

Savanna took care of our 2 frenchies over memorial day weekend! It was our first time leaving them with a sitter so we were naturally nervous. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs which put us fully at ease! She had no problem dealing with their quirks and cleaning up after them- They can be a handful as they were rescues. We will absolutely reach out to rebook with her in the future.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
