“Deb was great! She is such a godsend! We didn't think we could board our anxious, diabetic dog but Deb handled him like a pro. It's such a relief knowing we can go away now.”

“Amanda was fantastic! She communicated promptly and clearly prior to the drop-off, and took really good care of our aging corgi for a whole week. We got regular updates while we were away. She clearly cares about animals very much and makes sure that all members of her family behave in a way that the visiting dog can understand and be comfortable with. I highly recommend Amanda!”

About: I have taken care of and have had my own pets for over 30 years. I have a fenced in backyard, along with trails in a wooded area on my property that make it a great adventure for all pets. I work part-time taking care of animals and I'm always available to give your animals the attention they deserve. I am available most days and for overnight care. I would like to especially focus on families with friendly, small breeds that are looking for a safe place to shelter their pet. I have two friendly pugs that make a great social environment for your dogs. There are many gates/doors in the home that can be used to separate and make sure all dogs feel safe when needed.
“Maisie's second stay with Chris and Whitney. She was very bummed to leave and was completely exhausted from all the play time she was able to get. We love that she gets to meet new friends to play with when she stays and a big back yard to roam around in.”

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
“Victoria was great with our dog Rosie. It was the first time we had ever left her with anyone. Victoria kept us posted with texts and pictures of how Rosie was doing which helped us feel comfortable being away. Rosie did great and loved playing with Victoria’s dog. We are using her again for our next vacation.”

“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”

“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”

“Our Remy loves her stays with Malerie! She is always treated warmly when we arrive and I have prace of mind while Remy is there. I have booked with her multiple times!!! 10 out of 10 experience”

“This is my second time booking with Ciara and she continues to go above and beyond! Pipa is a nervous girl especially around strangers but Ciara assured that everything would be okay during her stay and it was! Within a few hours Pipa was comfortable and cuddled up with her on the couch! Ciara sends plenty of updates (pictures, videos) and responds quickly if you need accommodations made. Pipa absolutely enjoys her time with Ciara and made a new friend with her puppy! We will definitely continue to rebook!”

“Flexible drop off and pick up time, her home is perfect for dog sitting. My pup came home very enthusiastic and slept very well. He also enjoyed the interaction with other well behaved dogs. I'm happy to find a dependable sitter nearby for future needs.”

“Maria is so sweet and caring. She has a genuine love of animals and it’s evident in the way she treated my fur baby. I highly recommend Maria for all your dog sitting needs. I’ll definitely contact her again.”

“We had a great experience with Addison. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and easy to communicate with and responsive. She was also very flexible, which made coordinating everything stress-free. Most importantly, my dog came home happy and clearly well cared for, which says everything. I would absolutely book with Addison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.”

“Eve maintained great communication throughout our pup's stay, really gave us a peace of mind. Well kept grounds and clean household. Her own dogs are friendly and kept our dog busy. We are so lucky to have found her. 100% recommend.”


“Kim is by far one of my favorite people on River. I used her services every Wednesday for almost two years and then for an entire week during my PCS moving process while I was attending the Naval War college and then Department head school at the Newport Naval Base. My 3 year old German Shepherd is prone to anxiety with change- but he absolutely loved every moment in Kim's hands and always would come back to me tired and full of smiles. I will dearly miss Kim and her family as will my big goofy boy- but if you are looking for someone who will treat your best friend like family- Kim is your girl.”
“Natalia and her husband provided excellent care for Gigi! They were so kind, and provided lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi stay with them again (and Archie, of course!!). Thank you so much!! Look forward to seeing you again 🙂”

South Dartmouth pet parents share their Rover experiences
Austin was amazing with my two dogs! He was so attentive and spent lots of time outdoors with them! I do not like to leave them with anyone, and he made me feel comfortable right away and that’s huge for me! My dogs come home exhausted after a 3 day stay with Austin! He sent so many pictures and it made me happy to know that he took the time and effort with watching them and keeping them safe. He listened to every detail I messaged him about and had so much patience, especially knowing I was nervous. Our flight was delayed and he had no problem with keeping them for an extra time period! My dogs came home super happy and tired.
