“I highly Serena! From our first meeting, it was clear that her knowledge of dogs is extensive, and her genuine love for them shines through in everything she does. Every walk is not just a routine for her; it’s an adventure for my pup! She keeps me updated on how each visit goes, providing thoughtful insights into my dog's behavior and needs. I especially appreciate the adorable pictures she sends afterward, capturing those joyful moments. It really puts my mind at ease knowing my dog is in such caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Serena is the one to choose!”
“Chelsey was a wonderful and considerate care giver for my cat Sebastian. She made it a point to meet and greet him prior to my extended weekend trip. My cat suffers from separation anxiety under normal circumstances. I’ve worked from home during the pandemic. I was worried about leaving him for a few days. Chelsey stepped in and put my mind at ease with daily updates with videos. Sebastian was happy as well. I’m preparing to book her services again.”
About: I’ve had 8 fur babies from my childhood til now so you know the couch is always covered in fur. I’ve loved my mastiffs and labs, tabby cats, horses, and many small animals. I’m familiar with various dog and cat breeds and the amount of loving you should give them, even if it’s temporary. I’d love to care for your pet! A face full of fur is an excusable reason to replace therapy.. right?? I’m currently attending a couple online college classes for the summer, so my weekly availability is mornings & afternoons. No Thursdays. For weekend availability, please reach out a few days before. I hold a calm and happy manner with zero room for bitterness. I treat every animal as my own, with the occasional spoil of an extra treat (just for sitting happy and being cute). Respect goes for the owners as well! Im sure to send you pictures of my time with them.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I've also owned 3 of my own dogs- Alaskan Malamute, Bully breed, and chihuahua mix, so have experience with different sizes and temperaments. I have also worked in the veterinarian field so have experience with giving medication and recovery from spays/neuters, etc. I currently run a small business as well as have an evening client, so I'm open to morning- midday schedule and may have last minute availability depending on time and location. I am also available for evenings after 7:30, if you happen to work overnights! (Currently UNAVAILABLE FROM 3PM-7PM M-F, CAN SCHEDULE FOR AFTER 7:30PM IF NEEDED) I would be following client's preferred methods of care, whether it's going for a walk, just utilizing the backyard for bathroom and playtime, crating, etc. Whatever the client prefers, I'm happy to accommodate.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I absolutely adore them. My family recently had 5 dogs so I have experience caring for pets of various ages and breeds. I have a dog of my own, a 5-year old mini goldendoodle. I would be happy to take your pets out for you, feed them, play with them, and of course provide cuddles :) If you would like photo updates of your pet I would be more than happy to send those. If you think I’d be a good match don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to helping you out with your pets! I currently have a Monday-Friday job but I can provide pet care after work (4:30-10) or on the weekends (anytime). With my work being in education, I have additional school break availability! In a client’s home I would follow all of their care instructions and keep a consistent routine. I care deeply about the safety of animals and would treat them like my own.
About: I’ve just recently moved back home from Scotland after being there for about 7 years. While there I did use rover as a part time job while finishing my Veterinary Medicine degree. I’m happy to announce I graduated in 2024 and have been a practicing vet since. I love learning from the pets I sit because every time personality is different and each experience can give me so much. I’m happy to cater to whatever you pet needs! I have a varying schedule throughout the week. I work most week days with various start times but most end times at 7.30pm. I’m happy to help owners organize with me what works best for them though! I do not take safety lightly and am happy to cater to whatever needs are required by the owner. I do have family pets at home who don’t like strangers so unfortunately I will not be allowing anyone to be boarded at my house.
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
“Rebecca was reliable and communicated updates. We really appreciate her helping us with Cocoa especially at the last minute! We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We’ve had Sarah take care of our kitties many times now! She’s our ‘go to’ if she’s available. She takes great care of our cats and even our shy one has warmed to her. She also came through for us during an emergency earlier this year. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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.
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.

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 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.
