About: I am a certified dog trainer with hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive dogs. I have owned and cared for many dogs in my life, from small (20 lbs) to large breeds (130 lbs) such as Cane Corso, Doberman, Pitbull, Lab, Maltese, as well as mixed breeds. I am genuinely comfortable with dogs of any size or breed. I am also CPR and Stop the Bleed certified, so your dog's safety is always top priority. Whether your dog is easygoing or needs a more experienced handler, I bring patience, skill, and confidence to give them a great visit. I work part-time as a dog trainer and have availability for Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, and on Sundays after 12:00 PM. Pet care fits well into my routine as I'm already working with dogs most days. I can usually accommodate next-day requests and sometimes same-day requests depending on my training schedule. Whether I am doing a drop in visit, walk or a training session, I treat your dog and home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. As a certified dog trainer, I'm experienced with all breeds and temperaments, including reactive dogs. I stay fully attentive, follow your dog's routine, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pup is doing. Being CPR and Stop the Bleed certified, I'm prepared for any situation, and your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority.
“Sara was an actual Vacation saver! I had a different sitter scheduled and he messed up the day and she was able to save me from having to come back early from vacation. My dogs love her, she is super communicative and helpful. I have two older dogs and they both awrmed to her right away. She has been super helpful and I'm so happy I found her on Rover!”

About: I have always had pets since I was a child: dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, etc…ranging from young dogs and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am able to problem solve their different needs and administer meds. I am patient, responsible, and would love spending time with your furry friends. I am a teacher and have afternoons, nights, and weekends available during the school year, and a flexible schedule during the summer months. I am looking forward to caring for your pet with check-ins. During check-in visits, I will follow your care instructions and use my background knowledge to be there for your beloved pet. I love checking in and making sure pets are well cared for!
About: I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 9 when my parents got me my first puppy. I had raised and trained him on my own, had responsibility of restocking and refilling food and water, as well as grooming, bathing, and bathroom use. Flash forward to when it came to my own dogs senior years, I had learned to understand the extra care that comes along with that. At the age of 13 I had started pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it be walking next door to my neighbors, taking care of a pet in my home, or having my mom drive me someone’s household, I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and playing with pets. At the age of 16 when I had gotten my license, I had started offering to do overnights at peoples homes for their pets and had driven myself to homes multiple times in a day to care for them. I think it’s important to be present, playful, and all around loving to each and every pet. I love to meet new pets and prioritize creating comfort between the animal and I. I’m currently working full time but have weekday evenings open and weekends open!! I have pets myself as home and pet care fits into my routine very naturally. Thankfully I have family to help out with my pets when I’m not there and can give full care to other pets when needed! I have grown up having dogs my entire life (Also having chickens, geese, and bunnies). Being a pet owner gives perspective in terms of creating a sound environment. When I go on vacation or need someone to care for my animals, I look for qualities that many others would. Trust, responsibility, and genuine care. When roles reverse, I behold these qualities to ensure that whoever I am caring for receives this level of comfort from these qualities.

As of right now, I am in Boston Tuesday-Friday (negotiable) and South Shore the other other part of the week, so I’m available both locations! My top priority is that every animal feels safe with me and only receives all the love and affection they deserve. Pawsitive vibes only! :)

About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was 13, and it is a large passion of mine. Countless family, friends and clients have trusted me to not only watch their pets, but care for them as my own. I am trustworthy, responsible, and most of all loving towards every animal I meet. I have a rescue hound dog of my own who is 13 years old, and I have cared for him since he was just a puppy. This has taught me how to care for puppies to senior dogs. I've worked with small dogs and large dogs alike. Additionally, I have plenty of experience with cats as well as I have spent many years taking care of my grandmother's cats. I have also spent many years nannying in positions where I have cared for both children and pets, which has taught me responsibility as well. I would love to take care of your pet and appreciate you trusting me with a part of your family! I'm currently in school to be an elementary teacher, so I have time to watch your pets when I am out of class! On Mondays and Wednesday's I am available in the evenings after 4 pm, Tuesday's and Thursdays I am available after 10 am, and I am free most Fridays and Saturdays all day! I would love to either do a one time visit, or reoccurring! I am very trustworthy and will treat your home and pets with respect and kindness. I understand that is hard to trust anyone with a pet we love so much, but I promise I will care for and keep your fur baby safe like I do my own!
“Linda watched our cat, Maka, while we were out of town this past weekend. She was a sweetheart and went over and beyond to make sure Maka was taken care of, sending plenty of pics and videos each time she visited. Very appreciated!”
“I've used Erin's drop-in pet sitting services twice and will continue to do so when traveling. I have two cats that eat multiple prepared meals a day with various supplements (I'm a crazy cat lady, guilty) and Erin is incredibly accommodating and had no problem following my preferred schedule. I also love that Erin is a knowledgeable vet tech, which really puts my mind at ease (and it was also helpful when one of my cats needed to be given medicine x2 daily). She responds quickly and keeps me in the loop at all times. What more could you want? I highly recommend her!”
“I'm a fur mama to two kitties and I love using DogVacay. It's always nice to find a host, like Michele, that doesn't mind checking in on other kinds of animals. I recently moved to Bridgewater and reached out to Michele, who responded so quickly and was more than willing to work around my schedule for a meet-and-greet. Instantly my hubby and I loved her and so did our babies! We had her check on our cats daily each morning for about a week. My instructions were followed to a T, we would receive texts frequently letting us know how they were doing, and she even paid them an extra visit just because she wanted to play with them! The cats really loved her and I look forward to booking her again when we go out of town. I would highly recommend Michele - she's kind, funny, and so sweet!”
About: I’ve taken care of other peoples animals for the past 5-6 years. I have a background in veterinary medicine as I worked for a small animal clinic for a year and I’m well adept at giving any medicine that might be needed I am currently in school full time but free in the afternoon after class and have all the time to spend with your fur baby. I try my very best to make sure that while you are on a vacation that your own pet is on one too! Which means as much playtime as their heart desires, and as many treats and walks as their little heart wants.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
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!
Montana made us feel very comfortable leaving Mabel with her. Mabel took to her immediately. Shes not an affectionate dog but she was a bit with Montana so we knew she'd be safe. Montana sent photos and videos of her playing outside with Mabel which made me very happy. Ill definitely be hiring her again and again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Taunton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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.
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.

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.
