About: I have been dog walking since I was in the third grade after school. I would be payed 5 dollar to take out each of my neighbors dogs and I loved it. I continued to do this all through high school, I watched many of these dogs go from puppy’s to adults to now senior dogs. The older I got I would start to dog sit over night, and have plenty of experience around all sorts of dogs and there various night time routines! I am currently working a full remote job that’s very flexible, I am able to stop in and check on dogs throughout the day or even for a quick walk. I am also around durning the night time and early morning! I am an active person and can keep up with a high energy dog or puppy! but I also love a good couch potato, and cuddle sessions. Whatever your dog needs I am able to provide for them!
“Jessica was awesome with our "fur baby, Piper. She was excellent in keeping us updated on how Piper was doing. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent. I would totally recommend her and if we are still here in the area visiting will definitely book with her again.”
About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult. Spent 6 months volunteering at an animal shelter. Have completed Two separate 10 session dog training courses with a certified dog trainer. Have completed online Instructional courses on E-collar training and behavior modification. Have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues/quirks Have cared for pets of family and friends in addition to my own for over 15 years . My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.
“Seonmin was a wonderful dog sitter! She sent updates often, gave Winnie a lot of exercise and was always quick to reply to my crazy dog mom check ins :) I highly recommend her! (And her dog Sam is a sweetheart!)”
“Great experience. I have left my shy rescue with Lisa several times, Lisa put her right at ease, and she has a good time hanging out and going for walks with Roscoe. Lisa has also been really flexible and said yes to a last minute request.”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Harley had an amazing time with Melissa and Kellie and their pup! Hosts were so flexible, easy to communicate with, and clearly love fur friends. We can’t wait to use them again”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Hannah was amazing with our dog! She sent regular updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated, and it was clear she gave him tons of attention and care. We'd book with her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”
“Rebekah was incredible with our Bella. She sent updates, took extremely good care of her, and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Our Bella was just a puppy (and was in heat for the first time), and Rebekah took every step necessary to take care of her and make sure she was taken care of. Will definitely use her again!”
“Anna took great care of my 1 year old dog who is a ball of energy! 10/10 recommend great sitter and clear she is a genuine dog lover. Would 100% ask her to sit my dog again and fully vouch for anyone else to consider dropping theirs off to her! Thank you Anna!”
“Kirby had a wonderful time staying with Peter's and Riley's family and making a new friend with their Cavapoo, Snoopy. Kirby was right at home with all the attention, playtime, daily walks, and sleeping on a bed with others. The family is warm, welcoming and appears to be loving to pets and more than competent caring for others' 'family members". We have already booked for a future stay this summer.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life. Have had labs and golden retrievers since I was a kid. I currently have a golden retriever named Toby who loves to live life to the fullest. I would love to provide a wonderful home for your dog while you travel. Toby and I go for walks twice a day and play ball on lunch breaks. We live in great neighborhood for walking and have a large fenced in yard. Any dog that likes to run around or just chill will be have a great time at our house. I work from home full time and am devoted to taking care of my dog. Would love another playmate for Toby and another pup to join us for walks. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever and a family who loves dogs. Your dog will not want to leave when you return.
“Sarah and her family were wonderful with our dog, Rory. It was clear he was getting lots of love and snuggles while we were away. Sarah provided pictures during our trip. We would gladly use Sarah again in the future!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”
“Tim provided a calm and safe environment for our dog while we were at a family event. He is laid back but made us immediately feel like he would treat our pet as he does his own pet. His dog is a very mellow black lab and the two got along very well. Lady didn't want to get in the car to come home with us!! 😢. It took overnight for her to not be mad at us We feel very lucky to have met Tim on Rover and will definitely contact him this way when we travel again.”

There are 534 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Onset. About 91% of Onset 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.
