About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)

“⸻ I’ve been trusting Abhay with my dog for the past four years, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly reliable and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is his excellent communication. After each session, he provides thoughtful updates on how things went, which shows how attentive and engaged he is. On the rare occasion when there’s any uncertainty, he doesn’t hesitate to reach out for clarification, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that he takes both his work and my dog’s well-being seriously. It’s a huge comfort knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands.”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

About: I grew up living with dogs. Since I was 10 years old I have helped family members with their dogs, as well as take care of my own. For the past 4 years I have worked with dogs of various sizes, ages, and personalities. During those 4 years I worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility while also doing previous dog sitting jobs. My senior dog has a heart murmur so she needs special care to live a healthy, happy life: my younger dog (who is 4 now) is deaf, so I trained him to understand sign language in order to communicate with him. He loves doing tricks and is an incredibly smart dog. I am available all days of the week for dog sitting, walking and overnight stays! I have two dogs of my own but they are low maintenance, making it convenient for me to do pet sitting for people who need it. I play with dogs who love to play and/or do activities that they love to do while they’re in my care for the day. That may include playing fetch, going for walks, or playing tug of war with a toy.

“This was Heather's first visit with my dog. She was communicative and understanding of his needs. Sometimes it takes him a little bit to warm up, and by the end of the visit, he was rolling over for belly rubs. I look forward to her staying with him in the coming weeks while I'm away!”

About: As a wildlife biologist, I’ve worked hands-on with animals, so I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice small changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for senior, special-needs, anxious, and reactive dogs, plus puppies, cats, and small animals. I grew caring for German Shepherds and spent 11 years with my own cattle dog mix, Topo, through old age and health challenges. I send photos and daily reports, reinforce basic training, and love taking dogs on trail and beach adventures. I work as a scientist during the week, so pet care fits around that schedule. I’m most flexible on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often do early-morning walks before my day starts. I have some availability Monday through Wednesday near Mashpee. For overnight stays, house sitting, or longer vacations, I can arrange extra availability, so just ask about your dates. I can usually pick up and drop off, and I’ll confirm times with you ahead of each booking. In my home (boarding): Dogs are always supervised and on leash for potty breaks, since my yard isn’t fenced. They get daily walks and playtime, and can sleep in a crate or free roam, whichever they’re used to. I live with my husband and two young children, so boarding is best for dogs who are comfortable around kids, and I supervise all interactions. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I stick to your pet’s routine, keep your home secure, and lock up whenever I leave. My background as a wildlife biologist makes me careful and observant, so I’ll notice changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and tell you right away. You’ll get photos and a short update after every visit. For everyone: I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your pet can see how we get along. If anything seems wrong, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your vet’s instructions.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have found Rich (Kemba) for our American Bulldog, George. Our meet & greet was off to a slow start, as George is not always friendly to new people. Kemba and his wife Sandra, however, we so amazingly patient, understanding and kind to George - allowing him time to warm up a bit as we talked about his particular needs. Clearly they have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with all sorts of animals, including those who are "misunderstood". We scheduled a 2 week period of 2/day drop-in visits for George, beginning with yesterday (while my husband and I were home to show Kemba the ropes). George was extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming, but Kemba remained calm and collected, explaining George's behavior and reassuring him. He reassured me as well, as I was stressing out over George's outburst. We reviewed some of the notes I left for Kemba and went outside for a short playtime. George is very capable, caring hands with this man. We have a very good feeling moving forward and are confident that he and George will be great friends. I cannot recommend Kemba more highly.”

Breanna was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog. Before the visits even started, we did an initial meet and greet, and I was immediately impressed by how meticulous she was in making sure she had all the information she needed. She asked thoughtful questions, took detailed notes, and made sure she fully understood my dog’s routine, personality, and needs. It was clear from the very beginning that she takes her responsibilities seriously. Breanna clearly takes great pride in what she does and understands the responsibility that comes with caring for a living creature. That level of professionalism and compassion gave me complete confidence that my dog was in the best hands possible. Throughout my time away, she was reliable, communicative, and provided updates that gave me real peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog, which says everything about the quality of care she provides. I highly recommend Breanna to anyone looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.

Julia is amazing! I needed someone to watch my babies last minute on a holiday weekend. When everyone was booked up. But Julia then I found Julia. She came over to meet them before we left. So she could see what the routine was. She came over on time everyday, sent pictures, and make sure they were well taken care off. If you need someone reliable to watch your pups, hire her!! All the stars and thank you again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Taunton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Taunton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $25 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 9,413 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Taunton. 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.

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 Taunton 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!

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 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Taunton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
