About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I do drop ins, dog walking, and house sitting by myself but for boarding dogs me and my mom do that together (we are Angie’s pet care) that way our boarding dogs are with at least one person 24/7. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“Kailey was great! We have a brand new puppy and our older dog injured her paw, so it certainly wasn’t the easiest job but she handled it like a pro. She was communicative and professional.”
“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”
“Emily took care of our Luna for three nights and four days, at our cottage. She took her on walks and took her swimming, Luna had a great time. Emily took great care of our house and it was spotless when we returned. Luna misses her!”
“Yas was great! Communicative and responsive, and understanding when there was some miscommunication on our part. Thanks for helping us out when we were in a tight spot after our original dog sitter bailed!”
“Our first time hiring outside of family membets so we were extremly netvous. The rover site was a nice easy platform and process as well. We chose Janice and we knew immediately at the meet and greet we chose the right person for us and Louie our 2yo Cavapoo. She had us feeling at ease and comfortable thruout the visit that we had no issues to worry about. She provided a pic and feedback to us while away. She was very professional,friendly, kind and knowledgable. Through our comunications with her i knew she loved and nutured all animals and safety was of utmost importance. She is a very loving and conscientious knowledgable caretaker and would not hesitate to hire her again! The very best and Louie and our family are very fortunate to have found her, we thank you Rover!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care As a college student at mass maritime, I have class for at least a few hours every day with some days being longer but I can definitely work around my classes to give your pets the best care I will follow any rules and care instructions you give, also I won’t snoop around or go anywhere in your house that you don’t want me to be.
About: I majored in animal science in high school. I was primarily working with dogs, I got to groom them and train them. I am very experienced!

I have a senior dog of my own who is my best friend, and I take care of him daily. I am very flexible with times so please reach out if you need anything!

About: I have owned animals ever since I was born! I've always had some kind of fluffy, scaly, or slimly creature roaming around. My first pet sitting job was at about 9 years old for my neighbors farm animals and dog! I absolutely loved it! I'm currently a student, but it's all online and I have a very flexible schedule! I just need some advanced notice to plan but I can make it work! I am willing to be flexible in order to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible! I ONLY use positive reinforcement! And I truly treat all animals as if they were my own! Plenty of cute pictures of your pet coming your way!
About: I grew up with a Lab in my house! She lived until she was 16 and she was my best friend until the very end. I currently have two Morkies (6) so I have handled all different types of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own because after all, they are our children. I have struggled in the past with pet care, so I know first hand how difficult it can be to leave your pet while you are at work. Or just going out with friends for the night. I like to help where I can! My two Morkies are my world. They are on constant flea and tick prevention. They get let outside in the yard multiple times a day. I wipe their paws when they come in from outside and when I am at work during the day they stay nice & cool in the AC in this heat.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and finally got one of my very own this past year! I’ve had lots of experience with dogs, cats, and other small animals too! I love playing with my puppy and taking him out to explore new places! I work part time so I have availability for my own puppy. And of course I have plenty of time to play with yours! I’m usually available daily after 9:00 am, and before 4:00pm! I’m very familiar with crate training for dogs, and basic manners/obedience as well and long walks full of engagement! And lots of playtime & treats. I also have cats, and love to snuggle and play with them as well!
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”

About: I just moved to Mass from Costa Rica for work. Had to leave behind momentarily my family, which includes my wife, my dog (Millie) and my cat (cowboy). I really miss them, so I would like to offer my sitter/walker services to feel close to animals and make new furry friends! I love all animals and I’m an eternal defender of animal rights and wellbeing. I work full time Monday-Friday. I have full availability on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday night) and limited availability M-F evenings (6pm-10pm). I understand some owners have certain limits to be respected with their pets, so I adapt to the care and restrictions they have. I’m open to listen and adapt to my furry client. I’m also open to be recorded or provide constant updates/videos.
About: Hello! I’m Ava, and I want to care for your animals with the same love I show for mine :). I have experience with 80+ pound dogs that have big energy, to small elderly dogs that need gentle care. I’ve been walking and house sitting mainly dogs but I also have experience caring for cats of all demeanors (even the spicy ones that need some space haha) ! I have been an animal lover as far back as I can remember, and I love making animals feel the same happiness and joy they bring us. Rain, shine or snow I’ll make sure to give your pet the best experience possible. I recently got insured! But I keep my rates in line with other walkers. I don’t think keeping you, myself & your pet safe should come at an outrageous price. 🐾 I adapt to all dog’s demeanors. Whether they love an energetic playmate or are just needing someone to give them some love while you’re away, I’ll accommodate to what they need. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon! Pet care has a big place in my heart, so I set aside a lot of time to do it :) Monday - Friday, 6am - 8pm. But if needed I can stretch the hours to make time for your animals! I am willing to take your pup to your favorite places to walk if you want them to have an extra scenic experience on a path in the woods or park. I drive a Subaru Outback with accommodations for taking large and small dogs. Whether in the house or on a leash I will provide your pet the best experience possible, and provide my own doggie bags for walks!
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last seven years. For the last two years, my fiancé and I have had three dogs: A pug, a Shih-poo, and a beagle. Our puggy and beagle recently passed. I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and some puppy training. I also have experience bathing animals. I’m generous with the treats and even more generous with the snuggles! I work from 9-5 M-F but am remote on Mondays, Fridays and alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can do drop in visits for walks any time during weekends and in the evenings and occasional afternoons during the week. We have a fenced in yard at our home, but our babies also get walks. With me, your pet will come first and always be treated like one of my own.
About: I have a pug named chunk he is my other son. I would love to have a dog to watch so he has a friend to play with & be around. He's friendly & loves to cuddle. He also loves to run around but gets out of breath quick. I live in an apartment with a dog park and also a fenced in outdoor patio area and a big yard to walk around. I have dog beds, and crate if your dog uses them. My 11 & 9 year old sons love dogs & would spend the whole day playing with them. I’m currently home most of the time I’m babysitting about eight hours a week in the middle of the day so I have plenty of time to be with your dog. Your dog will be leashed outside and safe inside abc out. Whatever you want me to do with your dog I definitely do as needed.
“Devin did an amazing job! She went over and above what I was expecting, she sent plenty of pictures of the dogs throughout the day and even came over the day before to get an understanding of the house and the dogs. Five stars!!❤️”

Rebecca is fantastic. She sent me an amazingly detailed update at the end of her stay with my dog from what they did together, how he was doing, social interactions with neighborhood pets, how he behaved, and bathroom breaks along with some photos of her stay. Clearly loves dogs! Definitely would hire repeatedly.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Plympton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Plympton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Plympton 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
