“This was the second time I used Tara for visits while I was away and she was wonderful again! She also let me know when my dog wasn’t feeling great so I was able to have family make her some food to help with her stomach issues.”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra attention. I’m patient, gentle, and enjoy creating a routine that makes your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or providing specific care needs, I treat every pet like they’re my own and ensure they get the attention and affection they deserve. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer part-time pet care that fits your needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I make sure to provide consistent care ensuring your furry friend gets the attention and love they deserve, no matter the time of day. When caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. For in-home sitting, I respect your pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel at ease and stick to familiar habits. I’m always attentive to your pet’s needs, keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free. Trust is important, so I make sure to communicate with you regularly and follow any specific instructions you have for your pet’s care.
About: I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have always cared for friends’ and family’s dogs as well. I have a love for all animals of all shapes and sizes! I would love a career working with animals in the future, and I would love all the experience I can get! I am available early mornings and afternoons, but I’m always willing to accommodate with others’ schedules! I am always willing to care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I find it great to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I’m always calm and patient with all pets!
About: I have been grooming, boarding and walking dogs professionally for 11 years. The best part of working with dogs is playtime and they will definitely get that here. I have three dogs that love to make new friends! Your pup will be provided with a safe and fun environment while you are away. Available seven days a week. I am a professional dog groomer and work from home. There is a six foot fenced in area for playtime or for just relaxing in the fresh air. I have dogs of my own that love to make new friends and play. If your dog requires quiet I also have an area for peacefulness.
About: I used to work for a doggy daycare for three years and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am CPR-certified for cats and dogs and I have basic animal first aid knowledge. I have had both cats and dogs most of my life. I am a full-time student, however, I do not have classes every day and am also available on the weekends. I would be more than willing to check in on your pets at whatever interval you are comfortable with. I am a responsible and respectful person who will follow your instructions and wishes regarding your pets. I have had pets with specific requirements and understand having specific instructions for your pets.
About: Had a 5 month old pup at aged 9 (also had a dominant cat) taught her basics and more over time until she needed medication due to her old age. Looked after friends senior dog which needed meds with food and their other dog that had special dietary needs including medication 3 times a day. House and dog&cat sat for friends that would go away to France for a long weekends I have plenty of time to give care and attention. I am not working at the moment and in between job maybe this is my calling we have a lot of space in the home and in the yard. We do not have any of our own pets yet, but we are talking a lot about them. We have a large 4ft fenced in grass yard and a large basement to allow for off leash freedom to play regardless of weather. Over the back fence we have active cranberry bogs with loads of open space and smells perfect for long walks. I am a fast walker and happy to cover 3-5 miles on a walk. Any fur-babies that need to stay overnight will be looked after like they are my own. I’ll send lots of pictures and make sure your pet is comfortable with as much attention as it needs.
“My dog got a cut on her ear walking in the woods, and Brittanie responded perfectly. She reached out to me, we discussed what to do, and she waited for my sister to arrive. Turned out to be very minor, but I was so grateful she was extra cautious and communicative. I feel really comfortable with her caring for my Millie.”
“Jared is amazing with my dog! It's clear he really cares about the pups that he walks which is a great comfort. It's also so nice to come home to a tired dog! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Carolyne was great- great communication and pictures of our dog on their walk!! First time using someone on Rover- nice to know there’s reliable, trustworthy people to take care f your pets ❤️”
About: In my 30 years, I have always had at least one pet in my care. Growing up, I took care of dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, degus and more. I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital. I am a true animal lover and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family. I am available several days a week for drop in visits for new and current clients. Drop ins include let outs, feedings, play time, medications, etc as needed. I am available for live in care to current clients only. There are days that I will not be able to be full time at your home.
About: I have worked as a Veterinary Technician for the past six years, caring for companion animals, agricultural species, wildlife, and exotics in both Florida and Massachusetts. My lifelong passion for animals has driven me to develop skills to care for all needs. I started my career in shelter medicine and moved on to working with companion and agricultural animals full-time. During this time, I have assisted in providing life-long care to thousands of pets, covering anesthesia and monitoring, dentistry, grooming, and regular care in and outpatient settings. I have always pet-sat for my clients over the years, allowing my patients to remain in the comforts of their homes, and have fostered hundreds of shelter pets and exotic animals who need intense care. I later moved on to wildlife rehabilitation, where I have been a part of over 1,600 cases successfully returned to the Everglades. Our sanctuary had over 400 permanent residents whom I used operant conditioning to train for cooperative care and voluntary medical procedures. I also worked with Ambassador Animals during educational presentations to groups of all ages about responsible pet ownership and conservation. I have since returned to Massachusetts, where I resumed companion animal medicine and training before deciding to leave in-clinic practice. I love taking care of dogs and cats, and would like to continue to share that passion with my community. Whether your pet is elderly, medically complex, or has a demanding training or enrichment schedule, you can trust that they will receive the highest quality in-home care from a veterinary professional. Depending on the pet’s temperament, nail trims are included free of charge at your request. I have recently transitioned from in-clinic practice and am currently available for bookings at any time. Perfect for last-minute bookings and pets in high-need situations. Whether your pet simply needs feeding and quiet time or requires round-the-clock supervision and interaction, I respect the wishes of pet parents and am devoted to giving pets the care and comfort they deserve. Providing that care in their home, especially during times of need, is deeply fulfilling to me. I look forward to working with you to create a personalized plan for your pet, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Experience with multiple dogs and cats at a time. As well as caring for puppies and older dogs and cats. Growing up we always had at least 1 pet but would usually find ourselves with multiple at a time I work Monday to Thursday during the days so I am available for drop ins later on those days. My weekends are free for drop ins and overnights Your pets safety is always the top priority wether that’s outside or before I leave. They will always be left in a designated area if they have one as well as have water accessible at all times
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!
“Nikki was wonderful and my dog loved her. She was very flexible and accommodating when I needed her help the most. My dog and I look forward to having Nikki help us again in the future!”
About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.

Ellie was great with Kiki while we were gone. She brought her for nice long walks around the neighborhood. She was also thoughtful to ask if she should leave a light on for her in the evening and to also stick with a shaded route when it was really hot out. I (and Kiki) would recommend her and book again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Mattapoisett. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Mattapoisett after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mattapoisett. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
