About: I grew up in a household that couldn't have pets due to severe allergies within the family. I've always had a strong love for animals of all kinds, and it was always such a bummer not being able to bring an animal home to care for. That never stopped me from pet-sitting though. I've watched over a range of ages, from puppies and kittens to sleepy sweet seniors. I also currently work at a doggy daycare, something I love to do during my time off from my full-time job. It's given me an incredible amount of insight into animal behavior and specifically canine body language. Our pups are always communicating with us. We just have to know what to look for. I'm always down to take your companions on adventures, because an enriched and fulfilled dog is a happy dog, whether it's hiking, sniffing around a new neighborhood, or learning to play a new game. If adventures do occur, I have a variety of car seat sizes available to keep your pups safe and secure if need be. I have an American Red Cross Certificate of Completion for Cat and Dog First Aid (expires: 08/30/2027). Copies can be distributed upon request. I currently work full time at a hospital, 7 days on and 7 days off. I'm available most mornings to drop in and hang out with your furry friend(s)! Whether it's for a cuddle, a potty break, a walk around the neighborhood, or even a car ride and a hike for the more adventurous, I'm open to all activities. My availability is limited to mornings at this time, but during my weeks off I can offer more hours. I'm happy to discuss that further if necessary! Truthfully, my schedule is not the most consistent, however I can guarantee it'll be made up for in passion and genuine companionship for your beloved furry friends. I'm willing to take on same day bookings; I understand that life can get hectic and emergencies happen. My available days will remain that, available. While I am not currently boarding in my home, I'm more than happy to drop in on your little one(s). Your house rules apply, and detailed instructions would be incredibly helpful in ensuring your pet gets its needs met while you are not home. I can and will happily provide frequent updates (or less if that is your preference). Meet & greets are required prior to confirming bookings for house sitting or long term bookings. It's to ensure that I am able to obtain all the information required to properly care for your pet.
“Candi is amazing. We have a GSD who is on immunotherapy for his allergies. Candi diligently followed the medicine protocol. During our time away, Loki exhibited signs of ear infections and irritation. She was prompt to contact us. We guided her to get the medication which she was kind enough to administer and clean his ear (not an easy task to do with a gsd) She also took Loki out on walks where she was attentive to keep him disciplined consistent to his training preventing him from walking ahead of her and correcting his behavior in response to distractions. In all, she is the next person who will take care of your pup just as well as you. I have engaged her services multiple times and full stars to her each time”
“Ciara is a wonderful, kind-hearted animal care-taker. She took great care of my very dear fearful-cat, Sasha. Ciara sent photos every day reassuring me all is well with Sasha. In addition, Ciara left my home spotless. Ciara goes the extra mile to ensure all is well. Thank you so very much, Ciara. I would be honored to have you care for Sasha again in the future. 💗🙏🌸🪷”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
We love Shana!! This is the 3rd time we’ve had her come take care of our 2 cats and as always we had a great experience. Shana is incredibly friendly, responsive, flexible, and communicative, sharing photos of our cats during each visit to check in. We’ll absolutely have Shana back in the future to care for our kitties!!
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.
Hannah was amazing!! Great communication and went above and beyond for our girl. If you’re looking for someone reliable, honest and someone who genuinely loves animals, you found your sitter! Thank you again for all you did for Kenna and I hope we can book 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 cared for my two cats for over a week and truly went above and beyond for them- even spoon feeding one when he was being a bit of a prince about eating. She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean. She even took out the trash and the litter genie bags at the end of the week which I did not ask for or expect! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them that I didn’t have to worry at all for the whole trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Taunton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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 9,890 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taunton. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
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.
