About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on. I have not had the opportunity to have my own dogs/cats in my home, but I've taken care of family & friends' pets for many years and have always given their fur babies such amazing care and attention. I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely. I'm currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care as often as needed during the week with lots of time for fun! Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.
“Colleen was phenomenal. She babysat for our cat while we were away for a week. He’s ordinarily a little shy with new people, but he quickly took to Colleen. She sent pictures of each visit and made sure he was well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“Our four-month-old Golden retriever puppy was SO excited to see Sarah again! He got the puppy zoomies. She really understands puppies, and is patient, loving, and playful - and good at avoiding his land-shark puppy teeth! We - and our puppy - will look forward to seeing Sarah again.”
About: sitter who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. As a dog owner myself to my pup Easton (“Chicken” 🐾), I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, personalities, and routines, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of updates/photos while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I always try to be flexible and communicative! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals! I work full-time during the school year as an elementary school teacher, so my availability is best during afternoons, evenings, weekends, school vacations, and summer breaks. I always make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable and cared for while their families are away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety, routine, and trust are when caring for pets. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and loved while in my care. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and each dog’s individual personality and comfort level. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for 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: 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.
“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”
“Justine was very great with doggies. She had great communication and was very punctual. She gave the dogs great attention and took very good care of them. I would recommend her to anyone for services with their loved ones.”
About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
About: I have l had the responsibility of taking care of my home pets ever since I could remember. We’ve always had a full house with dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, guinea pigs, chickens, and even a macaw. I have experience with senior dogs that require extra care as I have one of my own. I have also taken a few puppy training classes that I have used on my dogs as well as pups of close friends. Most of my pets have been rescues and I was able to use those skills to break bad, destructive habits that could’ve resulted in injury. I am currently a full time college student and a part time medical assistant at an urgent care clinic. Typically, I would have the most time to commit to intensive pet care in the early mornings, early afternoons, late evenings, and weekends. My dogs are crate trained and my pets typically spend their nights in their designated areas. In the mornings everyone is opened, greeted with many pets and kisses, and fed. The dogs are walked and trained for a bit before my departure. I make sure to leave a few brain engaging toys/ treats while gone for the day. Once I return, the process is repeated with a longer evening walk and extra cuddle time. My senior dog required a bit more attention with daily injections and a specific diet. I am sure I would take care of your pet with the same care and love I give my pets.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own! I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! And I even used to work at a horse farm! I grew up helping take care of goats, chickens, cows and horses! My work schedule is flexible! I spend a lot of time driving around so have plenty of time to run to your house every few hours to let your dog out or take care of any pet needs. My 3 dogs are crate trained, they know how to walk on leash and they also follow commands and walk alongside off leash. I can let dogs out for a quick bathroom break or take them for a walk to help stretch their legs
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.
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.
About: I have been taking care of pups since I was 11. Whether it’s long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with sticking to routines, handling different temperaments, and giving each pup the attention they deserve. My goal is to be someone you—and your dog—can count on for reliable, loving care. I am currently a full-time college student, but have lots of time to play and take care of your adorable pups! I am available all day Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pup is cared for as if they were my own. From secure leashing on walks to keeping routines consistent at home, I take every precaution to keep your dog happy and safe. You can trust me to show up on time, communicate clearly, and provide updates so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.
“Kat watched our two dogs two weekends in a row. It gave us comfort to know they were with her both times we traveled to provide consistency in such a short period of time. We had great communication during our absence and appreciate Kat's care and professionalism.”
About: I’m currently a pre-k teacher who’s extremely loving and compassionate. I’ve always had a love for animals because they’re also extremely loving and compassionate. About 2 years ago I started dog sitting for families here and there and I loved it! The best feeling is coming back after meeting the dogs a few times and realizing that they now recognize you and are now excited to see you! I look forward to spending time with these animals and bringing some extra joy to their day. I’ve owned just about every animal but I currently have one cat so I’m looking forward to an animal that wants anything to do with me. I live in an apartment so i can’t own a dog but I’d love to spend time with yours!😊Can’t wait to meet your furry friends!
“I'm so happy to have found Jillian. She loves and understands animals, and I left for a week knowing that my cat was in good, responsible hands. Jillian kept me informed of her visits and sent photos all week, which warmed my heart. My cat was healthy and happy upon my return. I will definitely turn to Jillian when I need to travel in the future. Thank you!”

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.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Dartmouth choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
