“Ciara is great. Oliver loves going to her house. He looks forward to all his friends, even the cats which is amazing! She sends me updates every day with a picture so I know he is doing good and to help me not miss him to much.”
“We were so lucky to find Ben! He responded immediately to our initial request then was super flexible when we wanted to add a night for our foster pup. He sent photos and little notes and we were absolutely confident that she was in good hands. Accommodations were spotlessly clean and Gracie came back happy and well-cared for. Thanks, Ben!”
About: My schedule is very flexible. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I spend most of my time playing outside with my dogs. I love to hike/walk. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most hours of the day. I am reliable and will be able to give your pet the attention needed. I’m very responsible. Your pet will be leashed when going outside. I will need your daily routine so I can make your pet feel just as it does at home.
“Wendy was easy to work with and very responsive. She took care of our dog Atticus like he was her own. Atticus seemed very comfortable with her right away. She was very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! We would definitely use her services again.”
About: Mother of two kiddos and one doggy. I just took a break from watching dogs while we welcomed a new pup to our family. He’s a 1 year old Portuguese Water dog and he’s very friendly and loves to play. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. Please reach out with any questions about me. Thank you! Im currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most time frames and schedules. My days are usually spent at home with my youngest and our pup so another dog or two fit into our schedule perfectly. We have a semi fenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to a beach. We also have a fully fenced back deck where the dogs can be inside or outside at their leisure. We love to play and we have plenty of time for walks or playing fetch and cuddles.
“Nadine has such a soothing and calming energy that she’d make the most anxious dog feel at ease! She took such great care of Sweet Pea and was so in tune with her quirks. I would have Pea stay with her any time without a single worry!”
“Our dog Rosie had the best time at Brian’s house. This was our first time using Brian and we could not have been more pleased. The fenced in yard, lots of love, attention and play time with their dog, Jake and others that were there, as well as the cozy family and home setting. We loved getting a daily text and pictures of how Rosie was doing while we were away. We will use Brian’s services again!”
“Yunshu is always great with Lucy. She is our go to for having a great place to bring our dog. She is a great communicator and I always know that our dog is in loving, caring hands with Yunshu and her lovely family.”
“Winnie loved her stay with Leanne's and Michael's family. I was nervous at first leaving Miss W with people she had only just met, but when I saw just how much love and attention she was getting from the 2 boys, based on the photos Leanne sent daily, I sure she was getting the greatest of care! Thank you so much Leanne. And Winnie sends thanks to the boys! She can't wait until her next stay with you.”
“Alani was absolutely wonderful! From being willing to do a compatibility meetup beforehand to sending periodic updates and photos throughout Kodi’s stay - she was awesome and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Another great stay with Ty and her family! They are so kind and thoughtful in the care they show our Teddy. We are very grateful to have such responsible dogsitters!”
“Sol was great with Bernie. She walked him numerous times a day and kept us informed with pics and texts. She’s a natural for dogs and taking care of them. It’s great to leave and not worry. We’ll book Sol on our our trips away. Thanks Sol!”
“Jean is an absolutely incredible sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is loved, cared for and feels safe during their stay. We can always tell after each visit how much sugar has loved her stay with Jean, and there are many video and photo updates to take the stress away.”
“Jessica and Justin are wonderful friendly, energetic people. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them and their own dog. We met ahead of time to be sure everyone liked each other. After dropping off my dog I asked if she could possibly trim his nails. I had made a grooming appointment but it wasn't for another 2 weeks, and my dog was slipping on hard wood floors. She happily offer to see if her groomer could squeeze him in for a quick nail trim. She was able to and I paid a small fee to the groomer. I plan to bring Charlie back for any future trips. A+ experience!”
“Anely has been watching my dog Appa for quite some time now, since he was a puppy. He loves her, and she’s been so good to us. Always so accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“Our dogs loved their time with Mary and her family (and their furry family too!). Mary is great to work with and very accommodating. We knew our dogs were getting the best of care. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job with my two dogs while I was out of town for several nights. I got multiple pictures each day. They were in her care and they got plenty of exercise. She was very communicative regarding some trouble. One of my dogs got into at no fault of her own. It all worked out wonderfully because of her care and attention, and the dogs continued their boarding experience in style. I would definitely use Stephanie again next time I go out of town, as I highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Bedford
Our puppy stayed with Rebekah for 2 nights. This was our first Rover booking and we chose Rebekah due to her reviews and location. She was closer to where we were staying so if anything happened we wouldn't be far away. She updated us daily with pictures and videos. Our puppy had other dog friends to play with while she was there. Rebekah did a great job! If we lived closer, we would use her again! 😊
Taylor and Tyler were amazing hosts to Orion. He seemed to have an adjustment period with the other dogs and kitties but they were patient, communicative, and extremely understanding of his behavior as he settled in. This is a fun household and I know Orion is buzzing after so much energy around. I’d definitely recommend them for any type of fur baby!
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
