About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog walker and devoted prior dog owner with years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of dogs. I specialize in providing personalized care, whether it’s regular walks, house sitting, or boarding. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable and punctual, ensuring your dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I look forward to meeting your pup! I am available for overnight stays and for walks on most week nights and weekends. I will update my schedule if there are any changes. I treat all pets as my own. I ensure that they have sufficient, enriching activities and their basic needs are attended to. My goal is for them to feel loved and cared for while I’m with them.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.

Ive handled health conditions, tank maintenance and im good with managing feeding and care schedules and keeping animals calm in different places. Im patient, observant, calm and I take pet safety very seriously and prioritize keeping pets comfortable. Im currently available and flexible and will respond quickly! Im currently unemployed so I have A LOT of free time on my hands and would love to take care of your pets! I love dogs and it breaks my heart not being able to have one live with me so I would love to babysit your furry friends instead Im in an apartment with 2 cats and fish! Im not allowed to have a dog but I can have dogs visit and love when my siblings dogs come to visit for the weekend occasionally! There’s woods next to my apartment and two grass spots in my complex perfect for dogs ! My cats are older, have no problem with dogs but are unsure about cats so I would keep them separate. I don’t have a car right now but will always use uber in case of emergency or to go to a pet owners home to watch there pets!
“Jaime and family were kind and communicative. This was my first time having her sit for Suzi Q and she made me feel that she was safe in her family's hands. It was also a plus that my dog got along with hers and Suziwas able to get out her energy in their fenced in yard.”
“Caroline was amazing! We definitely will use her again ! Fudge I think had the best day of his life with Caroline and Nala! Thank you thank you! Always so nice when we find someone who takes GREAT care of our guy!”
“Trish was an absolute delight! She was incredibly warm and caring and clearly gave our pup a lot of love and attention. We appreciated her communication and photos throughout the day. We’re looking forward to working with her next time we’re in the area!”
“We dropped our 9 week old golden with Theresa for a week of daycare and couldn’t have been happier! Our puppy very quickly became excited to get dropped off and could tell he got all the attention and affection he needed there! Will definitely use Theresa again when needed and recommend to anyone that needs a good place for their pup!”
“Thanks for taking great care of Hattie, Zachary! I’m so glad she got to spend some time with other pups her size too. I really appreciated the updates and pics while we were apart!”
“Eileen was wonderful with our pup! It was his first time with her and she made sure both us and him were comfortable. She was great communicating before and during his day with her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“We have been leaving our dog Boo with Kristen while we go to work and we have been loving it!! He always has a great day and I love getting pictures of him throughout the day. They take such good care of him and I never have to worry. I would highly recommend anyone leave their dog with Kristen and Tim, so glad we found them!”
About: My husband and I are both animal lovers and live in a house with great outdoor space. We are also near some great dog parks, walking trails, and the beach! We love taking care of our friends pets and would be happy to help out. My husband and I work from home and are always available for walks during the day, letting them out for the bathroom, and taking them to the park. We also have a 2 year old medium size cattle dog mix who loves to play! She can be nervous at first meetings but once she gets comfortable, she is very playful. We are a pet-loving household and spend a lot of time walking and out at the park. We know how to keep things safe for pets through years of experience watching our friends dogs as well as family dogs and we are confident that your pet will be happy and safe with us.
“Marjorie had a wonderful time at Alena’s house. We are traveling all the way from Minnesota and found her on the website in Weymouth MA. Such a hot day we could not take the dog with us to meet a friend. Alena made my visit with a college roommate possible. Alena sent lots of reports and photos. I strongly recommend Alena.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was young, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and general care. Now that I work from home full-time, I’m able to provide a consistent, structured environment throughout the day. My own dog is very well-trained, friendly, and active—we go on multiple walks daily, spend time outdoors, and stay on a regular routine. I only take one client dog at a time as I want to my dog to have another dog to play with during the day. Your dog will be well taken care of. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I take one dog a day so my dog has another dog to play with during the day. I’m home during the day for supervision, walks, and attention—not just quick check-ins. My dog gets multiple walks daily, and we spend a lot of time outside, whether that’s in the neighborhood or on nearby trails and open fields. We also occasionally meet up with other friendly dogs in the neighborhood for relaxed, supervised social time. I only take one client dog at a time so I can fully integrate them into our routine and provide consistent care. I keep a clean, calm, and structured home where dogs are always supervised and treated like part of the routine. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my dog is very friendly and well-adjusted. I’m selective about fit and only accept dogs that are well-behaved, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs and my toddler. Because I only take one client dog at a time, everything stays controlled, safe, and low-stress, with plenty of attention and consistency throughout the day.
About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. **Please note** Beginning September 1, 2026 I will be working from 8:45AM. My teenage son (more of a dog lover than even me!) arrives home at 3:15P - if your dog cannot be on their own from 8:45-3:15 we would not be the right fit. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.
About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Scituate commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,486 sitters in Scituate, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
