“Emily is competent, experienced and very animal-oriented. My two took to her immediately. She arrived right on time, sent updates and pictures as promised, and left the house in perfect condition. She asked good questions and appreciated the list of instructions I left for her. Into the bargain, she is a bright, interesting and all-around delightful person. I highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each dog and what makes them happiest. I’ve worked with everything from wiggly puppies who need a little help with training to older dogs who just want a slow, peaceful walk and some extra TLC. I’m super patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to run, sniff, play, or just take it easy, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have tons of free time, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a job it’s just a great part of my day. When I care for pets at your home, I try to keep everything as normal as possible for them. I stick to their usual feeding and walk times, give any meds they need, and just hang out to keep them company. I’m not perfect, but I’m always patient and caring, and I make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I’ll check in with you regularly so you know how they’re doing. If I’m watching pets at my place, I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax and plenty of attention. I’m pretty chill and try to keep things low-stress so they feel comfortable. Either way, I just want your pet to feel safe and cared for, even if I’m not perfect!
About: I love dogs and I’ve had a dog since I was two years old so most of my life I’ve had dogs and I’ve like had experience with them I have a dog myself, so I’m able to take care of a dog very easily. I have to wake up early for my dog so that won’t be an issue taking care of another dog. I’ll make sure I always keep an eye on the dog that I am watching over. Take them out for a walk and also keeping an eye on the dog and giving them attention. Just always make sure you’re aware of your environment.
About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”
“Leesha is one of the best sitters we've found on Rover! She's responsive, communicative, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are cared for! Leesha has housesat for shorter periods of time for us, but recently watched our two dogs and cat (and chickens!) for a week. She battled some loose poops, a food change, and the addition of extra meds all in a few days, but she didn't bat an eye! She even cleaned Leah's litter box without me asking! It's easy to see how much she cares about animals and we would trust her with our crew in a heartbeat!!”
“Steph was the best Petsitter we have ever hired! We have four pets with different dietary needs and are on the high maintenance side. Steph handled all the requests professionally and perfectly. Will definitely want to hire again!!!!!”
“Jenna is an absolute angel! I could write a book about how magical she is but for now, I'll give you some of the highlights. She is sweet and soft spoken which was a blessing when she stayed in my home to take care of our 2 kitties, Squeaky and Jingles. Squeaky is pretty socialable but Jingles hides when she hears a different voice in the house. She scares very easily and is afraid, so when Jenna started sending me photos and videos, I was in awe! Jingles was hanging out with Jenna, rubbing up against her legs and purring. Jingles came out of hiding and had already decided that Jenna was special. She truly is an animal lover and she took care of their every need and then some! It was amazing how I could relax and not worry about my furbabies in her care. She sent lots of pics and videos twice a day which made me so happy. When we returned, everything was immaculate and everything cat related was spotless. She is so kind and thoughtful....a very rare find! We just love her and my furbabies can't wait to see her again! Thank you again Jenna from the bottom of all of our hearts. We will only have Jenna here in the future! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Liza was amazing!!!! She came during the snow storm to watch my babies in a pinch as I was stuck out of town. She kept me updated through out the stay with messages and photos/videos. Highly recommend and will call her back for future stays.”
“Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.”
About: Puppy knowledgeable and enjoy training. Love walks, reliable, friendly. I've taken care of family and friend's animals. I'm semi retired and have availability. I work a couple of days a week so I have plenty of time to interact with your doggies. I can be available on short notice I do not have a fenced yard so I will always use a leash for walks or potty breaks. Your animals will always be supervised
“Lydia watched jam for our wedding and honeymoon! We received lots of photos and could tell jam was happy! Lydia even jumped into action and changed the batteries in our smoke detector when it started beeping due to a dead battery. We are very grateful jam had her!”
About: I have always been a go-to to dog and cat sit for friends and family that needed to know their fur babies would be safe. Whether it was for a check-in or staying over an extended period, the animals would be first priority. I am a remote worker with a semi-flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet at any hour. I can generally work around any schedule that your pet needs. Any specific care that your pet needs will be adhered to. I ensure that the pups will be under great supervision and kept entertained. Walks and anything else needed will be taken care of as well.
“Lexi took such great care of my dog while I was away. She spoiled him and went above and beyond to make sure everything he needed was done. Lexi also took care of my house and I trusted her to stay in my home with my dog!”
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: Owned dogs entire life, have trained rescue dogs, and have experience in providing senior care for dogs. My dog is diabetic so I also have experience with insulin injections and oral medication. I have a fenced in backyard and many toys for dogs to play with! I am able to board and care for dogs throughout the weeks due to flexibility in my schedule. I am also willing to let your dog out when available, and help in any way I can! I will make sure the dogs are loved and shown affection, played with, walked, and taken care of as needed. I will always make sure the dogs are happy, have water at all times, toys to play with, etc.
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
About: Hi, im Soléna and I’m a big animal lover! I work in the service industry and I have a pretty flexible schedule to help walk your pups. I have experience with puppies, small, and large breed dogs. My 90lb Anatolian shepherd, Violet, is an 11yo that I have had since she was 9 weeks from the rescue. I'm currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to come by 3x a day on work days, and 4x a day on days off. I do not offer a boarding option for my home. My dog as she's gotten elderly can be reactive to other dogs in her space. For walks, depending on behavioral notes, we would avoid other animals on the street, i.e. crossover, and avoid areas largely populated with dogs.
About: Lots of experience caring for animals with anxiety, behavioral issues, special diets and health concerns. My approach to caretaking is grounded in empathy, sensitivity, and attention to all the little nuances that make your pet special. I’m an artist and part-time art professor who works in NY Tuesday-Thursday. I’m available anytime outside of that to give your fur baby my full attention :) I understand the importance of safety and respecting the environment of both you and your pet. I have an intricate system for caring for my pet when I’m away, so I take great care in following instructions when caring for others’.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fall River
Isabella stayed in our home and cared for your two dogs and guinea pig for a week in August. It was our first time working with someone from Rover and we were a little nervous in particular about our high energy younger dog who is prone to getting into everything. In short, she did a great job of taking care of our dogs and other pets and even changed our guinea pig's litter without being asked. The house was immaculate, sheets and towels washed and changed and pets very happy. She was mature, communicative and responsive to messages and to a last minute change in return dates. We would recommend her highly and we hope to work with her again. Thank you, Isabella!
Emily is competent, experienced and very animal-oriented. My two took to her immediately. She arrived right on time, sent updates and pictures as promised, and left the house in perfect condition. She asked good questions and appreciated the list of instructions I left for her. Into the bargain, she is a bright, interesting and all-around delightful person. I highly recommend her.
This was the second time my family has booked Leesha to house sit our two dogs and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a vacation and not wanting to worry about their dogs. Why board them when they can be safe in their own home. She is great with communication and sending daily pictures so you know they are okay.
Thank you for taking great care of Hazel with her food and walk schedule and keeping her warm and cozy during the winter storm. I appreciate your flexibility and understanding when our plans fell through and we had to come home a day early. Thank you again, Francene

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fall River walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fall River maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fall River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
