“Hannah was amazing with our elderly pup, I would highly recommend her. She kept us updated and sent pictures which were not necessary but so nice because we have never left our 12 year old lab with anyone before! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Meghan was wonderful. I connected with her in short notice and she went out of her way to make my elder queen feel cared for and even completed an extra favor for me. Very professional and she takes super cute pics and sends them while u travel.”

“Shana was amazing! We have a full house of 3 cats and 2 dogs and she handled all of them perfectly. Our pets and our house were well taken care of. We received daily pictures and updates, and we could tell that she truly enjoys animals. We will definitely ask Shana to sit for us again!”


About: I just moved to Mass from Costa Rica for work. Had to leave behind momentarily my family, which includes my wife, my dog (Millie) and my cat (cowboy). I really miss them, so I would like to offer my sitter/walker services to feel close to animals and make new furry friends! I love all animals and I’m an eternal defender of animal rights and wellbeing. I work full time Monday-Friday. I have full availability on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday night) and limited availability M-F evenings (6pm-10pm). I understand some owners have certain limits to be respected with their pets, so I adapt to the care and restrictions they have. I’m open to listen and adapt to my furry client. I’m also open to be recorded or provide constant updates/videos.
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.

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!”

“Yassy house sat for my dog and two cats for over a week and a half while I was out of the country. She was excellent at keeping a consistent schedule and was quick to ask questions when something wasn't clear. Feedback I would offer her is to send more frequent updates / pictures versus me having to check in, but all in all it was a pleasure. Definitely set my mind at rest with my fur babies.”
“Sam did an amazing job taking care of our two pups while we were away recently for six days! She was so kind, attentive, and communicated with us the whole time, sending us updates and pictures. We will definitely have her over again in the future. Thank you again Sam!”


“Outstanding! Daily pictures and updates. Spent hours actively engaged with Athena (the 80# gsd) each day. She was healthy and happy on our return. We (the people) were able to relax and enjoy our trip with any worry. Xinwei is and kind, gentle person, and Athena loved him from the very first meeting. We returned to find the house cleaner than when we left it! Additionally, he is a fantastic communicator and I recommend him without any concerns at all!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Taunton is $81 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
