“Alani took great care of my senior dog for the day and was able to accommodate my last minute request. My dog Rocko was happy as can be! She sent photos and was super responsive to my communication. Overall a great experience!”

“Iliandra was fantastic. She sent me updates throughout the day and my puppy was actually smiling. I forgot to pack his food and she cooked chicken for him. Above and beyond service. Thank you!”

“I always rebook with Blaine. He’s very nice, and super reliable! My dog Apollo tends to be anxious at times, but he’s always so comfortable with Blaine and his other dogs. He always sends updates, and is very flexible. 10/10 I will continue to rebook :)”

About: Hi! I am Lakshmi and I personally have 7yrs of experience with dogs of all kinds. Me and my husband both love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We would love to take care of your pooch while you are away. We promise to provide brisk walks, fun playtime, and of course belly rubs and cuddling for your beloved dog. So that you can have a guilt free vacation of your own :) Our schedule is flexible and your dog will never be home alone for long. The couch and bed are never off-limits. We separate the dogs during feeding times and ** safety is out top priority**. So we make it a point to do a meet and greet for all the first time clients. We have a six-year-old Labrador retriever boy named "Bruno" whom we adore! He is neutered and is very friendly. We fully understand all the hard work, effort, and commitment which goes into raising our fur babies. I totally understand how much difficult it can be to be away from your pet. We will do our best to make your vacation stress free by giving regular updates on your pooch is doing. We both have our own full time jobs and I work from home. So, rest assured that your dog is never unattended for more than 2 hours except when we are at the gym or have some errands to run. We have a friendly dog of our own at home to keep your dog company 24/7. There is no fenced yard but we live in a beautiful community and we do long walks and park visits(when the weather permits).
About: I am your pet sitting solution! Your pets are my passion. I am finally doing what I love! Now that I work out of my home I am able to service my repeat clients needs every day of the week around the clock. I am currently accepting new clients due to our indoor and outdoor spaces expanding. One of the most difficult things to do is dropping your furry friends off to an unknown place with a handler they have no history with. That is why I begin with a Meet and Greet to make sure I am the right fit. Typically I become your best friend's second best friend instantly. * Please be sure to book well in advance on school vacations and summer break. In addition, we are one of the few pet sitters that accept emergency drop offs! At my place in Taunton, I have a large fenced in play area. Upon entering the fenced in area there is two gates for security and a large gate on the opposite end for quick access and safety. The large play area is often split into two when we have smaller dogs. Daily activities do not just include playing in the yard, your fur baby can expect to go on structured walks, and depending on the weather we even take them hiking! I also work one on one with the dogs as they particularly enjoy the mental stimulation when working on commands. We love strengthening your dogs rules and commands while they stay with us. Safety is the number one priority that is why we begin with a Meet and Greet. Please reach out with any safety questions. Your Pet Deserves the Best.
“Overall, it was a great experience. Andrea was accommodating and pleasant. Her golden retriever was high energy and seemed fun. I would recommend her to anyone. Unfortunately, our schedules changed and we were unable to continue to use her. I know our dog is disappointed!”

“Kristen is awesome! Our pup Duke had a great day with her and the other pups. He was exhausted by the time he got home! I got pictures throughout the day and knew Duke was in great hands!!”

“Amanda was a great find for us to watch Harley! She sent pics throughout the day and was an excellent communicator. Harley was able to play with her dog ass well as another friendly dog in her fenced yard.”

“Elaine was great with my dog Oliver. He was well taken care of and a happy boy after his daycare visit. Elaine is also greatly knowledgeable with training tips as Oliver can be a bit of a stubborn boy.”

About: My partner and I have been caring for animals from bunnies to horses for our entire lives. Friends and family have relied and continue to rely on us to walk, feed, and board their pets. We do this because we love the companionship pups! Pets will be carefully looked after by my partner and I. They’ll be preoccupied daily with loads of activities! Parents are welcome to pictures/videos while they’re away. Your pets will have access to food/water, furniture, toys, undivided attention and unconditional love! Our dogs start the day by zooming and playing in our fully fenced in yard. Throughout the day we practice commands and do various activities. Here, we love dog puzzles and mentally and physically stimulating activities! Our house is pet friendly with plenty of space to play inside or out, depending on the weather. We also have pets of our own, who are very high energy and playful! We prefer gradual introductions to keep everyone calm and safe so your dogs will not meet ours during initial meet and greets. They’ll likely only meet ours if they stay multiple times or for more than 3 days. Entering a new environment or being cared for by someone new can be stressful for pets so we pay close attention to how each pet responds and acts and make sure to cater according to their individual needs, giving them space or activities as needed. Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for while they are here!

“Nicole was available and able to pick up my babies when we were in a pinch while traveling to Boston! They came back happy and I would absolutely ask Nicole again to care for my Poms! ?”
About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.
“Our sweet deaf pup stayed with Annmarie for the day and she couldn't have been safer and happier. This was our first Rover experience, so there was a bit of anxiety dropping our puppy off at a stranger's house. However, Annmarie made us feel welcome through her ongoing communication before, during, and after the visit, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that our special needs dog was well cared for. I highly recommend this host for your doggy day care needs.”


“Dorota took our baby Ricky when we needed a last minute daytime dogsit. She is always very flexible and wants to do what's best for the dogs she sits for!! And as always, she sends lots of GREAT pictures!! Morning Roll Call is our personal favorite!!”
About: I've spent a lifetime taking care of any and all types of animals - from lizards to dogs to horses to bunnies! I also volunteer as a dog foster for a local non-profit when my schedule allows. I currently have two senior chihuahuas who are the light of my life! I currently work from home full time, and as such my schedule is incredibly flexible. I enjoy being able to make my own schedule and be available to my furbabies - whether my own or one in my care! I live 10 minutes away from my parents who have nearly an acre of fenced in land - the pups are never disappointed to spend an afternoon at Gram's house!

About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
