About: Growing up, my grandmother fostered litters of puppies and their moms until they were old enough to be adopted. I spent a lot of time volunteering alongside her and learned how to train puppies. While I'm not a professional, I do understand the mechanics of positive enforcement. I had a boxer who will be 2 years old this February and have trained him to walk nicely on a leash as well as other commands. I also have two cats, Cho'gath and Jorah. I'm currently working part-time Wednesday-Fridays until 4 pm. Anytime outside of that I'm available! I sometimes have to work Saturdays, but would be off at 12. In my current home, there is no back yard. My place had 4 cats living in it right now, two of which are my roommates. At home boarding might be difficult here, but I'm happy to come to you.

About: I have hands-on experience handling and caring for animals through volunteer work at an animal shelter, employment in multiple animal hospitals, and caring for my own pets. My experience includes safely interacting with animals of various temperaments, supporting their daily care, and maintaining their health and well-being in both clinical and home environments. What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, hands-on care, and genuine love for animals. This experience has given me the knowledge to recognize pets’ needs and provide calm, compassionate care. I have even had the pleasure of caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, comfort, and attention they require. I’ve also done some basic dog training and enjoy reinforcing good behaviors with positive encouragement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, and typically have open availability, allowing me to provide plenty of walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I live down the street from a dog park too, so pets can socialize during their time with me as well. I love spending time outdoors and am very active so any pet in my care will be outdoors as much as possible, unless an owner would prefer I keep them indoors. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I’m very attentive, compassionate, and patient, making sure each pet receives the care and attention they need. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of affection and positive interaction. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a small “Dog Stuff” bin where I keep extras like bags, food, treats, toys, and more so no worries if an owner forgets to pack something.

About: Hey, I'm 30 and my family currently owns two large dogs. We moved to Massachusetts about a five years ago. We have two standard poodles, Ivy who’s 7 and about 50lbs and I own Felix who’s about 3 and over 50lbs. I also have a horse, and our first dog was raised by the cats we had before got dogs. Thanks to growing up with animals, then working with horses as an apprentice in Colorado for two years I appreciate the need that dogs have to get outside and get some energy out, or at least some attention so they don't decide to entertain themselves in a different way other ways. I’ve also taken care of parrots and parakeets, rats, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons. I housesat for neighbours and friends often, and occasionally their pets would be there too. I also babysat growing up and I'm still in touch with the families, watching their kids (& pets) grow up. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! As a pet owner, I completely understand the need to make sure your pet isn’t bored. I like to try to leave my clients home cleaner than when I arrived, my mother taught me that when I started babysitting and it stuck. Would you like me to water your plants?

About: I’ve taken care of household animals my whole life! Whether the pets are my own, or I am taking care of my friend’s and family’s pets, I have had the responsibilities of feeding, cleaning, walking, and taking care of dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I love bonding with pets and creating a safe space for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so throughout August I have a lot of availability! I will also be available on evenings and weekends throughout the school year. While being there for your pets in your home, I will provide the best care and play that your pet requires! I am good at following clear directions, communicating with other people, and ensuring that all people and animals are happy at the end of the day.

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: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and now work as an Assistant Dog Trainer, where I continue to build my experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pet sitting, boarding, and providing individualized care to help pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them the attention and care they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility in my schedule. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and depending on home situations I can accommodate in home boardings. I provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and feeding services tailored to your pet’s routine and needs. During visits, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and care according to your instructions. Depending on your pet’s needs and home situation, I will also be available for boarding or extended care. However, I do not offer overnight house sitting and will not stay in a client’s home overnight. My goal is to provide reliable, professional care that keeps your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away.

About: Hi! I'm a single mom who has had pets since I could walk.. I have owned dogs, cats, lizards, birds, fish, and even tarantulas! I My 11 year old daughter is the BEST helper and a fellow animal lover. We have one adult cat, Queenie Zucchini. She is a sweetheart and has now had over 20 new cat friends come to stay with us so far. She has never been aggressive with any of our guest cats. She has even gotten quite attached to some of them! We have a large apartment and would be happy to adhere to any needs you and your pet have.. Just let me know how I can help! Regarding the timing of your booking. I do work Mon-Fri, but I can be available if I have enough notice. I am available all weekend, 24/7 with short notice even. I do ask that if you book - please do not book any drop-off or pickup earlier than 1pm on weekdays or before 9:00 am on weekends. No drop-off or pickups after 8:00 pm. We are a very "chill" household. With just me, my daughter, and our cat Queenie. She gets dry food in the a.m. and p.m., and 1/2 a can of wet food for dinner. I clean and refill water 2x each day, and do daily litter scoops. As far as the question "what should I bring?".... Please bring your pet's preferred food and litter. I do have an extra litter box that can be prepared for your pet. I also advise you to send a blanket or even a piece of your clothing - something from home with a familiar smell, so your pet has a comfort item in their new temporary home.

Jill did a great job taking care of our kitties while we attended our wedding! She gave us the peace of mind we needed. She followed instructions and made sure our cat got his medicine. We felt comfortable with her in our home and will happily trust her again with our cats in the future. Thanks so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stoughton on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 11,033 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stoughton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stoughton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
