“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!)”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”

“Deb, was very professional and welcoming to myself and Luna. Her home is an extremely dog friendly and safe. Her yard is large enclosed by a large fence, with tons a space for any and all dogs to explore, play and just be a dog. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking for a safe, well organized dog friendly place to stay while away. I will be using Deb for all my future dog sitting needs.”

“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”

About: Hello! I am open to dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs! I have many years of experience with having my own dog as well as taking care of family members dogs☺️ I live in a house in Buzzards Bay with a large yard and a quiet neighborhood for great long walks that I love to go on! I also live right across from the canal and it’s my favorite walking area to do. I love dogs and see them as if they were a child and love them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to fully attend to your dogs every need- plenty of exercise and attention! I have lots of availability to fit in all the needs of your dog that they may need! Morning, afternoon or nightly walks, play or over night care. My pets are greatly cared for in my home, I would also treat your fur baby as one of my own in your home or mine
“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!”

“Austin was great. This was my first time ever boarding my four-year-old American bully. She does have some anxiety and stress issues. He was Fantastic with her from the start and made it easy for me to start the booking right from the beginning I would definitely recommend him. He kept me updated throughout her stay, which was a full three days and answered any concerns and questions I had along the way. I will definitely book again with Austin.”

“Puff is in great shape. Rebekah took very good care of her. I certainly would think of asking her again. I'm so glad Rover.com and Rebekah were there to take care of my kitty when I went on vacation; they get all five stars. Where am I supposed to leave a tip for Rebekah?”

“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”

“Jen and her family took excellent care of our dog while he was staying with them. She took him for walks, played frisbee and let him run with her dog all day long. Our lab loved it there! They were very friendly, sent lots of pictures and were easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again. She was wonderful!”


“Scout had a wonderful time at Jessica's house. He is a rescue, and is sometimes anxious, but she made him feel right at home. He even made a few doggie buddies along that way that he fun romping with. I'd definitely recommend Jessica to mind your furry family members. Kate and John and Scout”

“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”

“Nadya welcomed our 2 Aussies into their home like they were family. Our pups had the best time and I’d highly recommend booking Nadya for your fur baby sitting needs!”

“Kevin was able to watch my dog last minute and really helped me out. Jonah seemed exhausted and Kevin sent videos that looked like he was having fun. Would use Kevin again and recommend him to others”

“Marc was AMAZING!!!! I don’t think it’s possible for me to say enough good things about him. After having a traumatic experience with a Rover watcher, I was honestly very nervous to trust anyone with my dog ever again. Mark restored my faith completely. Not only was he one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time, he has an incredible heart for animals. He treated my pup like a treasured family member. My dog instantly loved him. But while I was gone he went out of his way to make sure she had the best day each day…play dates, went on adventure walks, cuddles! He was knowledgeable about dog traing and grooming (my dog came back soft and shiny.) He even bought her a very expensive chew toy, which he sent her home with. She actually cried a little when I took her home because she got so attached to Marc. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough.”

“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”

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.
