“I was worried about leaving my dog since I was Travelling with my wife internationally. Rebecca was a gift from god. She was mindful, detailed and followed all the instructions about my dogs medication. She also shared with me some great tips about natural remedies for my dog that I found so valuable. I will highly recommend Rebecca to any stressed dog owner out there that don’t trust new dog sitters easily. Rebecca knows animals very well and will keep your mind at ease knowing your fury animals are in good hands. I will give you 10 stars if I can.”

“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”

About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.
“Alani is great. My dog Daffodil loves her! Alani was on time, communicated well, and sent me cute doggy pictures. Having Alani watching Daffy gave me the freedom to enjoy my time away from my little girl.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! What started as caring for family pets and neighborhood dogs over 10 years ago has grown into a career I’m incredibly passionate about. 🐾❤️ I’m a professional dog walker and pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From tiny seniors who enjoy a slower pace to energetic pups who love an adventure, I understand that every pet is different and deserves care tailored to their individual needs. I also have a background in professional pet grooming, which has given me additional experience handling animals with different temperaments, recognizing their body language, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Throughout my career, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to extended care and overnight pet sitting. I’ve built wonderful relationships with pets and their families, and I take pride in being someone they can trust and depend on. I’m also a proud pet parent to both dogs and cats, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pets the way you do! 🐾 Availability & Scheduling Because I work professionally as a dog walker during the week, my primary availability for Rover bookings is Saturdays and Sundays, with additional availability on most weekdays after 3 PM. I understand everyone’s schedule is different, so other days and times can absolutely be discussed! I’m always happy to see what I can accommodate. 🏡 Overnight Pet Sitting Overnight stays are offered exclusively in the client’s home, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routines. My standard overnight care hours are 8 PM–8 AM. A meet and greet is required before any overnight stay. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your pet’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before booking. ❤️ Safety, Trust & Personalized Care Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! While caring for pets in your home, I make sure they always have access to fresh water, receive meals and medications according to your instructions, and get the exercise, potty breaks, attention, and affection they need. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, or simply curling up on the couch for some extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they receive the care that suits them best. I also understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your furry family members in their care. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I don’t believe pets are just animals; they’re family. I treat every pet in my care as if they were one of my own! Whether you’re looking for a reliable walking buddy, someone to check in on your pets while you’re away, or a trusted overnight sitter, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️

“Emily took care of our Luna for three nights and four days, at our cottage. She took her on walks and took her swimming, Luna had a great time. Emily took great care of our house and it was spotless when we returned. Luna misses her!”
“Monica is wonderful. She is loved by my dog and when she stays at my home it feels like a family member caring for my dog. She clearly loves my dog and her professional approach to the business end (schedule, communication and med management) gives me such piece of mind when traveling.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are so important to me; I have two dogs currently, one of whom is medically complex and requires several medications 3x a day to prevent seizures. I do everything I can to give my dogs the best life I can and am passionate about doing so for all of our furry friends! If I could adopt more dogs I would but my husband would divorce me! I’m therefore hoping Rover will help me make a difference for more dogs in the world while reassuring their human companions that they are in good hands! My current work schedule will allow me to have about 3.5 full days off of work every day which will allow me to spend some quality time with your fur baby and giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s going on a walk or just giving some snuggles! I will make your pet’s safety my highest priority, followed by their happiness as a close second! I will communicate openly with you and do my very best to provide the best possible care for your special friend!
About: I have been a vet assistant and been cat sitting for the past five years. I can also help administer medications. Such as ear, nose, and oral medications. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently work 12-hour shifts, but I typically have three days off each week, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, quality care. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. On workdays, I make sure to plan my schedule to ensure that pets receive the care they need, and deserve. I also only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. My goal is to make sure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual routine and needs. In my client's home, I follow their instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes or picking up waste, giving plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, and making sure the home stays clean and secure.

“Heather was absolutely amazing with our two pups, and with house sitting! She took excellent care of our Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever, making sure not only were they cared for, but loved! Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”

“This was our first time using Marie and we will definitely use her again! We had a bad experience with our last sitter so I was nervous bringing in someone new. Marie came out for a meet and greet with our dogs and asked all the right questions and really tried to work her schedule around the dog's schedules We were away for 10 days with limited cell service but Marie was great about sending updates and made us feel like our dogs were in good hands. She even took them for a long walk before we got home to try to tire them out for us. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. It's very clear Marie takes this job seriously and I highly recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs over the years, while owning one myself. I make sure to treat dogs with love and care because that is what they all deserve! I am currently in school but still very flexible with timing and visits. The great thing about me is that I am a big morning person, I can wake up at anytime in the morning on the weekends. Whether I am caring for a dog or cat my calm presence helps create a relaxed environment. I will keep to there schedule and I am comfortable giving medication or anything then need. I will always make sure the pets have a safe and fun environment.
About: I’ve been a dog parent my whole life, sharing my home with everything from high-energy Shepherds, Dobermans, and Collies to lovable Pugs. Whether it’s managing big-breed energy or catering to gentle small dogs, there isn’t a personality, size, or temperament I haven’t cared for. Currently, I’m the proud parent of Oliver, my 13-year-old Plott Hound mix who has been by my side since he was just 8 months old. Raising a dog from his wild puppy months all the way into his golden senior years has given me a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I know firsthand the extra patience, gentle pacing, and careful attention senior dogs need, as well as the structure and exercise younger pups thrive on. I prefer sitting in your home because keeping dogs in their own comfortable, familiar environment makes all the difference for their peace of mind. When I stay at your place or drop in for walks, you can expect: Strict adherence to their routine: Exact feeding times, daily exercise, and familiar sleeping arrangements. Senior & special care awareness: Patience with slower walks, mobility needs, and routine medication. Full respect for your space: Clean, secure, and respectful house sitting so you can enjoy your time away stress-free. Regular updates: Photos and quick check-ins so you always know your pup is happy and well-loved. Whether your dog needs an active walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just a quiet companion to lounge on the couch with, I’m always ready to treat them like family. I work full-time (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday), but my schedule is extremely flexible for in-home pet care: Remote Work Friendly: If your pup needs someone around during the workday, I can easily work remotely right from your home, giving them continuous companionship and mid-day potty breaks. Evenings & Overnights: My weekday evenings and nights are wide open! I’m fully available after 5:00 PM for walks, dinner feeds, playtime, and overnight stays. Weekends: My weekends are generally completely open for full-day sitting, longer walks, and plenty of quality time. Because keeping your dog’s routine consistent is my top priority, we’ll coordinate schedules ahead of time so your pet gets all the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in your home, safety, security, and consistent routines are my absolute priorities. As a lifelong dog parent who currently cares for a 13-year-old hound, I understand how crucial it is to treat both your pet and your home with complete respect. During stays or visits, I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, leash protocols, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are double-checked, secure your home whenever I step out, and keep your space clean and tidy. I am comfortable managing medications, adhering to crate routines, handling big-breed energy, or accommodating senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Plus, you will receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you have total peace of mind while 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.
About: I've been great with dogs and cats and have taken care of them for years. I've spent my whole life around them, and they mean so much to me. My dog is my everything. I’m available for early walks and feeding schedule. I’m available to also walk your dog in the evening. To feed them and spend some time with them. I’ll make sure the litter box is clean and everything is in place. I will diligently follow all your instructions regarding your pet, ensuring that all their needs are met. I am committed to doing whatever is necessary to guarantee their safety and well-being.
“Kelly was amazing with our Luna! She went above and beyond to care for our pupper: taking her on long walks, to the lake, playing with her, and sending us lots of updates! I couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly!”

I hired Montana to stay with my senior dog who recently developed anxiety due to her age and hearing loss. I would always to Melly with me but thought leaving her home would be better this time. Montana was absolutely amazing with Melly! She was kind, loving and patient with her. She made friends with Melly on Mellys terms and within one night they were BFFs. I got updates, pictures the entire time and my mind was totally at ease! I would highly recommend Montana for any pet sitting needs! 🐾🐾🐾

Julia was great! My wife and I went on a trip for 5 days and we researched for a while to find someone to watch our dogs. We felt safe and comfortable letting her stay in our home to watch them. She was always on time, communicated with us with photos of our pups each day and was extremely responsible. Would definitely use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Taunton is $81 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $94 per night. 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 5,954 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taunton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Taunton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Taunton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taunton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
