About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
“Marissa was amazing with my two dogs during our first week working together! They welcomed her and felt comfortable with her right away. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are taken care of!”
About: My dogs are part of my family and I will treat your dogs like family too! Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, a brisk walk, or an exciting game of fetch, I’ve got you covered. Rain or shine, if your pup is ready for the outing then so am I. Does your pup like belly rubs, nose rubs and chin scratches? Then you’ve come to the right place. Your pup will be in good hands while you’re gone. I can accommodate a variety of needs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and I have worked as a weekend puppy raiser with the Guide Dog Foundation prison pup training program. Want to know more about me or my pups, just ask!
About: I have had 2 dogs in my household for the past 10 years, I feel like I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to caring for animals. Currently home for the summer from college, I have open availability for the time being. I’m open to doing any times that are needed for care. Make sure that they are cared for properly based on the owners rules and keeping them happy at the same time. Make some furry friends while doing so🙂
“Katrina is great! Going to be using her a lot as I am returning to work one day a month. Even helped take care of my brothers scared of everything dog on last minute notice. Tilly obviously recognizes her and loves her! Thank you Katrina :)”
“Alani was awesome with drop ins for our cat. We were very nervous leaving our cat home for the first time, but Alani helped ease our minds with great communication and pictures! Thank you again!”

About: Hey Guys! My name is Jess and I currently live in E. Taunton. Although I am new to Rover I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, Callie (13) and Sadie (4) I have cat named Chase (14, who resides with my parents and best bud Oreo). Ever since I was a kid I loved animals, and wished I could have them all. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, an hedgehog and even pigeons as a kid that I would help my dad with. I worked in pet retail for 14 years. Here I have also dealt with small animals, reptiles, cats and dogs. I have gained knowledge on animal nutrition as well as some training tips. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I am currently working full time Monday through Friday until about 4pm. I am available 4:30 or later during the week and any time on the weekends. I find it very important to follow the rules of the household for your pet to keep them safe, happy and healthy. Please let me know of any allergies or issues to ensure proper care.
About: I've lived with animals all my life, cats, outdoor farm dogs, small indoor dogs, to pitties that need a warm blanket and cuddles during storms. I like to study animal behavior in my free time and really feel that I can understand animals of any size and shape. I pride myself on being someone reliable to contact on short notice for emergencies and things of the like! I have my own car to get around efficiently and I'm almost never busy. I will follow the rules of the home and any specifics for each pet, I run on THEIR schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
“Amara has a good personality. She was punctual. She took a lot of pictures of Reesee and she gave me updates every day which I loved. She took the time to go to the third floor which is the loft to take pictures of Reesee because Reese's can be very shy I really appreciated that.💕 I would recommend her. I'm glad we met Amara!”
“Ixia was absolutely wonderful with our Pointer/Pit mix, Crimson. This was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. (We had to take a trip out of state on short notice.) From the get-go, Ixia was very professional and attentive during our phone consultation - taking notes, checking details, learning the little intricacies of Crimson's routines. Crimson also has a torn ACL, so special care has to be taken during daily activities to ensure the injury doesn't worsen. Ixia was very reliable, responsive, and communicative with us the entire time. She was on time for every visit, sent us pictures of our pup, played with her, spent lots of time in the yard, and even went above and beyond to accommodate some extra drop-ins we hadn't originally planned. We were very impressed and thankful for the loving care that she provided our animals and by her professionalism and communication. 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Ixia!”
“Sarah was on our puppy Beau's wavelength right away, and they had a great time together. She took great care of him while she was here, with his dinner, toys and snacks. I will definitely try to get Sarah to come back!”
About: Since I was a toddler I’ve had dogs around me, growing up with Newfoundland’s (they are big!!) and German shepherds. I also have experience with other large breeds like Great Danes and hounds as well as small like Maltese’s and chi weenies! I love all dogs and exploring with them! I do work as a teacher so I will be available for evening walks as well as weekends. My own dog I walk daily rain or shine and will do the same for you! I have a chiweenie who is very friendly and loves adventures! We love walks- long or short! I understand not all dogs mesh well with others so my dog can always stay home from walks!

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 Freetown 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.
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 Freetown 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Freetown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
