“Matthew and Jennifer were so easy to work with and took amazing care of our labradoodle. I got pictures each day and little updates along the way. Thank you for welcoming her into your home.”
“Rene took great care of my 2 dogs while on a 2 week vacation. His backyard setup is perfect, he communicated with me throughout their stay and my dogs came home happy, healthy and tired from all the fun!”
About: I’ve enjoyed walking dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of many puppies and older dogs. I understand the special care that they require. I’m happy to take dogs in to our home as well as going to people’s homes to pet sit. I work most week days until 5. I am free to help with visits and walks at night. I am free on the weekends for taking in pets for overnights or going to your home to visit, walks, play and feeding pets. I have a section at my home that is fenced in or I walk dogs on the leash. I walk often and make sure to stick to schedules and feeding routines. I have so much love for animals and love nothing more than caring for them.
“So happy with my decision to leave Harley with Lace! As it was my first time leaving my dog I was super nervous but Lace was wonderful with keeping me updated and easing my nerves, and dealing with my new dog mom craziness! Harley had a great time staying with Lace and Ty, and returned to me just as happy as when I left, I don't even think she missed me!”
“Kristen and Timothy were great with Poppy. From all the pictures they sent, you can see she was having so much fun! Will definitely use them again!”
“Heidi was fantastic! She hosted our two golden retrievers for a three-day weekend. They had an absolute blast playing with her other dogs in the yard, and we loved the regular video updates.”
“From the very first inquiry, Kevin was responsive, professional, and very accommodating. Kevin and Annie stepped in on incredibly short notice and completely saved the day. They asked all the right questions about Marlie's routine. When we dropped her off, it was clear Kevin and Annie had already gone out of their way to make our pup feel comfortable. We forgot to bring Marlie's treats but Kevin and Annie were well stocked with her favorite treats waiting. Throughout the stay, the updates were great with daily photos that showed Marlie was not just being cared for, but truly enjoying herself. She came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised.”
“Grigorii took the best care of my dog. He was communicative, friendly, and thorough in his care. My dog is timid after a recent attack and Grigorii was patient and able to get her to come out of her shell over a few days’ stay. His dog is a sweetheart too so I felt confident the pups would get along. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t available next time I need a sitter!”
“Erin took great care of our dog Carly! She was very kind and loving toward our dog. She sent us lots of photos which put us at ease knowing Carly was safe and happy. We would definitely have her sit for dog again!”
“While we are always anxious to leave our dog for several days, all our worries we’re gone when we say the first set of pictures that Lora sent. From his body language, we could see that our Teddy was happy and comfortable in his new environment. Would definitely recommend Lora’s services and we will be keeping her at the top of our list for future overnight bookings.”
“I was visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter last minute. Shelby responded very quickly to my request and was super accommodating for a last minute booking. I immediately felt at ease when I dropped Cola off. The entire family came out to greet us, it was very sweet! I was sent great pictures, videos, and updates regularly during Cola's visit and really appreciated that! Cola looked to have A LOT of fun staying w/Shelby and family! I would definitely recommend her! Thanks so much Shelby!!!”
“Alysia was fantastic to deal with, before and during the boarding. Her and her daughter took wonderful care of our two dogs and gave them a very "homely experience" . They provided updates everyday on how the boys were doing to help put us at ease. I would board with her in the future. Thank you!”
“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”
“Jing and her husband took such good care of Monty while I was away. They sent tons of photos/videos, and it was so reassuring to see him having fun at their house. I think their dog is Monty’s best dog friend now!”
“Jeremy and Rui took outstanding care of our dog for an extended stay. We felt so much better knowing our pup was in such a loving and safe environment. Truly, they are such a treasure and we feel lucky to have met them!”
“Nancy was incredible!!! I felt so safe with her having my girl and she spoiled her. She kept me up to date and took amazing care of all of Petunias needs. I couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Scituate
Jennifer and Matt's house has become a home away from home for our sweet boy Ollie. He even has a favorite "spot" where he likes to hang out. Jennifer and Matt send photos every day, usually multiple times a day - and when I've expressed concerns over Ollie feeling at ease they take care to send me photos of him walking or playing. I always feel very comfortable leaving Ollie with them.
When our usual dog sitter had to cancel a 7-day stay at close to the last minute Cecelia cheerfully stepped in to take care of Zorro, thank goodness. She took the time to meet him beforehand and we had the chance to introduce him to her family which made dropping him off a few days later much easier. During the stay he had lots of walks, snuggles, games and treats. When I picked him up he was totally content, wandering around getting extra pets from her and her daughter while we chatted. While we were away Cecelia sent regular updates and pictures. Overall a great experience for me and Zorro! I'm sure we'll be back.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in North Scituate can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Scituate home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your North Scituate.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Scituate. On Rover:

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.
You and your North Scituate sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
