“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Daran was awesome. He sent us pictures and videos. It was very clear the boys were comfortable with him. We knew they would be fine because we had already done a meet and greet but the pictures and videos made us more at ease. I would (and have) recommmend Daran to all my friends.”
“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Kari and her family took such great care of our dog, Bogey. Very proactive in communication and I felt completely at ease during my time away from my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again with Bogey.”
About: As a wildlife biologist, I’ve worked hands-on with animals, so I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice small changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for senior, special-needs, anxious, and reactive dogs, plus puppies, cats, and small animals. I grew caring for German Shepherds and spent 11 years with my own cattle dog mix, Topo, through old age and health challenges. I send photos and daily reports, reinforce basic training, and love taking dogs on trail and beach adventures. I work as a scientist during the week, so pet care fits around that schedule. I’m most flexible on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often do early-morning walks before my day starts. I have some availability Monday through Wednesday near Mashpee. For overnight stays, house sitting, or longer vacations, I can arrange extra availability, so just ask about your dates. I can usually pick up and drop off, and I’ll confirm times with you ahead of each booking. In my home (boarding): Dogs are always supervised and on leash for potty breaks, since my yard isn’t fenced. They get daily walks and playtime, and can sleep in a crate or free roam, whichever they’re used to. I live with my husband and two young children, so boarding is best for dogs who are comfortable around kids, and I supervise all interactions. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I stick to your pet’s routine, keep your home secure, and lock up whenever I leave. My background as a wildlife biologist makes me careful and observant, so I’ll notice changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and tell you right away. You’ll get photos and a short update after every visit. For everyone: I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your pet can see how we get along. If anything seems wrong, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your vet’s instructions.
“Awesome caregiver. Pleasant and friendly. My pup felt comfortable and did extremely well during her visit. Ciara was great at updates, sending messages and videos. Pleasure to do business, would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a sitter. "I'll be back"”
“I would 100% recommend Maggie to other people she is such a genuine amazing sweet person and she treats your pet as one of her own, she also responds super fast to messages which I appreciate immensely.”
“Amanda,,her daughters and husband took good care of my fur Son’s Jupiter & Cupid. They have a loving household and will give your pets the attention, affection and love needed when they are in her care. I highly recommend Amanda. ***Thank you so much Amanda & Family for taken great care of Jupiter & Cupid. We really appreciate it. ****”
“Michele was the perfect sitter to watch our rescue dog while we were in town for an event. She took the time to introduce our dog to the space before meeting the other dogs, and was overall so understanding. Our normally shy dog cuddled right up and really enjoyed her time with Michele!”
“We cannot recommend John and Sharon enough. Our two corgis absolutely love their time with them. They get excited when we arrive and are well taken care of. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and are pretty spoiled at John and Sharon's house. It's terrific to feel completely at ease leaving our dogs when we travel.”
“Jennifer and Matthew took such great care of my dog, Luna! She loved the walks and playing with their family dog. I so appreciated the pics and videos to see how happy she was! I have already rebooked for my summer vacation. 🐾”
“Anna took great care of my 1 year old dog who is a ball of energy! 10/10 recommend great sitter and clear she is a genuine dog lover. Would 100% ask her to sit my dog again and fully vouch for anyone else to consider dropping theirs off to her! Thank you Anna!”
“Rafael was incredible with our 14 year old beagle. We are very particular on who we leave our dog with and we felt great about leaving her with Rafael. His home is clean and safe. Such a nice and caring guy. He made the cutest report card for our dog. Sammy will definitely be visiting again when we go away.”
“I can tell by how eager Splash is when she gets out of the car that she loves vacationing with Sergio. My girl is an abandoned rescue with lots of anxiety but loves hanging out with Sergio. Thank you so much!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lakeville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lakeville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeville. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Lakeville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
