“Alexia was amazing! She was super sweet and very accommodating. She plenty sent pictures and updates reassuring me that all was well while I was away. My dog came back to me very happy! I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
“My babies were so well cared for and loved by this family. I can’t say enough good things. If you want your fur babies to be treated like family Alysia is the way to go.”
“I totally appreciate your hospitality for Stich. Amanda was awesome. She kept me posted on how Stitch was doing with clear pictures. And he was happy in each picture. Thanks Amanda. And if needed in the future i will book you again.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
“This is my second time booking with Ciara and she continues to go above and beyond! Pipa is a nervous girl especially around strangers but Ciara assured that everything would be okay during her stay and it was! Within a few hours Pipa was comfortable and cuddled up with her on the couch! Ciara sends plenty of updates (pictures, videos) and responds quickly if you need accommodations made. Pipa absolutely enjoys her time with Ciara and made a new friend with her puppy! We will definitely continue to rebook!”
“So happy to have left our Dog with Deb while away, she reached out to notify me she had a cancelation and could take out dog which really saved us in a pinch!!! Her house and yard were so much better for him than having to board in a typical crate/kennel setting!!! She obviously loves dogs and took great care of our dogs!!! She was flexible with us and we will definitely be using her again!!! Highly recommended!!”
“Victoria was great with our dog Rosie. It was the first time we had ever left her with anyone. Victoria kept us posted with texts and pictures of how Rosie was doing which helped us feel comfortable being away. Rosie did great and loved playing with Victoria’s dog. We are using her again for our next vacation.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Ashley & Nick! They watched our mini Bernedoodle for 6 days and we have never experienced such great Rover sitters. Oliver is part of our family and it means so much to us that he was treated the same way with Ashley & Nick. We would highly recommend them as your next sitters.”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
About: I have been a pet owner and or caregiver since I was a child. I have experience with a variety pets from young and energetic to seniors. I understand the needs of each and can provide the necessary care based on age, energy level, and personality. I am self-employed and can easily integrate pet care into my day to day responsibilities. I enjoy taking long and frequent walks with pets and also enjoy down time relaxing with pets who prefer quiet company. I live in close proximity to the St. Joe Walkway/Palm Coast Linear Park which provides numerous walking paths. I am neat, clean, and respectful of others homes and preferences with regard to caregivers entering their spaces.
“April did an amazing job watching Venus and Sasha for a few days! This was our first time using her as a sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. It was clear the girls were well cared for, happy, and comfortable with her. When they were picked up, they were relaxed and had obviously been given lots of attention and love. We would absolutely trust April to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“I am very very grateful Heather cares for Charlie through Rover. Charlie has been going there when I have needed care for him for the three years I have owned him. She and her family are very kind to him. I feel completely secure about having him with her. Though he is tightly bonded to me, he is very excited to go to her house. She sends photos. Heather is so easy to work with in every way.”
“Scout had a wonderful time at Jessica's house. He is a rescue, and is sometimes anxious, but she made him feel right at home. He even made a few doggie buddies along that way that he fun romping with. I'd definitely recommend Jessica to mind your furry family members. Kate and John and Scout”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Bedford
Taylor and Tyler were great hosts for my dog Freddie! After having a bad experience previously with a different sitter, I was nervous to leave my dog with new people. But they sent me frequent updates and pics of Freddie over the weekend which greatly reduced my stress and made me comfortable. Freddie had a blast staying with them!
Savanna took care of our 2 frenchies over memorial day weekend! It was our first time leaving them with a sitter so we were naturally nervous. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs which put us fully at ease! She had no problem dealing with their quirks and cleaning up after them- They can be a handful as they were rescues. We will absolutely reach out to rebook with her in the future.
Austin was amazing with my two dogs! He was so attentive and spent lots of time outdoors with them! I do not like to leave them with anyone, and he made me feel comfortable right away and that’s huge for me! My dogs come home exhausted after a 3 day stay with Austin! He sent so many pictures and it made me happy to know that he took the time and effort with watching them and keeping them safe. He listened to every detail I messaged him about and had so much patience, especially knowing I was nervous. Our flight was delayed and he had no problem with keeping them for an extra time period! My dogs came home super happy and tired.
Taylor and Ryan were wonderful. My Dogs were very happy and healthy when we picked them up. Taylor kept me well informed when were away as to how they were doing. The yard is perfect for dogs and I had now worries of them getting free. Taylor and Ryan made our vacation worry free. Sherrie

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 921 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Bedford. About 90% of New Bedford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
