“Haley was awesome! She was very attentive in her care for our cat & dog while we were away. She also was able to accommodate a last minute additional visit which was so great!! She closely monitored the well-being of our dog during 4th of July fireworks and made sure to give thorough reviews/plenty of photos. Communication was amazing! Would definitely recommend Haley”

“An absolutely wonderful pet sitter who gave detailed notes for the daily check-ins, as well as several photos each day. Communication was great and Amanda took excellent care of my two boys ❤️”

“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!”

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.
“Barbara did a great job with my two older dogs. This was a fairly last-minute request, I lost my original coverage for my dogs the following day. Barbara came that evening to meet me and the dogs. The midday visit next day went perfectly. Very reliable and took great care of my "kids".”

“Kristie and Dominick are great! I mainly communicated with Kristie and she was very professional and conscientious! She has a love for animals for sure and will take care of your furry friend very well. My poor pup Kobe got sick ans she helped out asked questions and was very helpful and kind to both Kobe and myself. I highly recommend Kristie and Dominick.”

“Jessica was so great with my babies! She played with them each time she visited and made sure they got lots of love. She even got my shy little guy to come out and play and get cuddles. Highly recommend Jessica! You and your furry friends won't regret it!”

“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.
“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!”

“Anna did a great job taking care of my cats for a week. She posted a lot of really cute pictures when she was playing with them and feeding them, it made me feel a lot better about how they were doing. Also, the cats seemed to like Anna so much that when we got home they didn't seem starved for attention :) We will use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a student full-time so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters so I am only available thursday, friday, and on weekends. I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
“Jenna did an amazing job. Showed up on time and gave our little guys a great walk while we were out. Took some adorable pictures to share with us, documented everything so we would be up-to-date when we got home. Highly recommend her and would happily book her again. If you’re looking for somebody to trust with your babies while you are away. Look no further.”


“Colleen, you are the best! It gives us such peace of mind when we need a pup sitter to check in on our fur babies. Thank you for taking care of our pets and home as if they were your own.”

About: I love animals so much, and nothing compares to the personality and happiness that comes from dogs! I love going for walks outside, and letting them go on their own scent journey— They deserve happiness and excitement!!! I’d love to play and give any medicines. I can assist in training or learning. With FULL weekend availability- I currently am working on moving towards a part-time job (I am employed Full Time currently) from 5pm onwards during weekdays are also available. Please message me for questions!!!! I live in an apartment, with a small yard. Though, there is a massive park walking distance from my apt! and I would love to walk the doggies wherever they want to go / are used to! and in the clients home, I’d love to make sure everyone is safe and sound and gate are closed before pets go out.

About: I’ve always taken a special interest in animal care. I have over 20 years experience taking care of various types of pets ranging from rats to large dogs. I have worked as the lead canine educator for Petsmart as well as a sitter for friends and family. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I love being able to give pet parents the peace of mind knowing that their pet is safe and getting the care they need with me. I am only self employed otherwise and I enjoy working schedules that allow me flexibility to have a good work/life balance. I am able to schedule pet care around my other responsibilities. I have indoor cats. I advocate for all cats to be indoor. I do not plan on watching pets in my own home. I would prefer clients have a fence but I’m comfortable with pets on a leash.
“Tara is incredible! She is great with the dogs. She is reliable and communicates well, making sure we always know how the dogs are doing and passes on any information about the house that is pertinent. She always sends pictures from her visits. She is also very responsive. I am genuinely happy we found her. She takes such fantastic care of our pups.”

New Bedford cat parents share their Rover experiences
This is our first time using Rover and we have to say there isn't a better option for our precious Lacey. We chose Barbara for her experience. After reading her profile and reviews we thought she'd be a perfect candidate. Lacey can be affectionate but often times she's to independent to bother. With the meet and greet she seemed comfortable and even allowed Barbara to pet her which usually takes some time but it was a sign. Everything went so well. We felt at ease knowing Lacey was comfortable with Barbara. We loved all of her pictures and we could tell that Lacey happy with Barbara's company. We're so thankful everything went as well as it did and we truly appreciate how caring and patient Barbara was with her. We would definitely recommend Barbara she really exceeded out expectations.

Abigail was wonderful at taking care of our two cats while we were away! It was our first time using a cat-sitter and we were a bit anxious about it at first, but as soon as we met Abigail we were put at ease. She is extremely professional and communicative, and she definitely has a calming presence among shy animals. Our cats don't usually like interacting with strangers, but I could tell from the photos and videos of her visits that they were showed much more curiosity for than fear of Abigail. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was always willing to go above and beyond, including a last-minute extra visit when I wanted to make sure there was still enough litter in their box. We will feel much more comfortable traveling in the future knowing that our cats will be well taken care of by Abigail!
