About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. We will treat your dogs like part of our family. I have a flexible job that allows me to provide care for animals throughout the day. My wife is also extremely involved and we enjoy spending our time around animals. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. My main goals are to keep your dog comfortable and to not send them home with a vet bill.
About: I currently have an 11 year old Rottweiler mix who is battling cancer. I am doing this to help pay for her treatment. I will love every dog like my own and show them true care. I work full time during the week but am available every day but Saturday (am flexible). I am available in the evenings and on Sundays. I have experience with crates, fences, and gates. I have a strong attention to detail and will make sure to be vigilant for anything your pet may need.
“Kathy is always incredible and is very flexible!! She has saved us in some desperate last minute times of need and she is just the best. Our dog Gimli loves her and we trust her so much! Can’t recommend her enough”
“Jenna helped watch our two dogs Murphy and Lulu while we were away for a week. We were so grateful they were in such good hands! They went on lots of walks and were well fed and had lots of playtime! Jenna gave us lots of updates and photos which our family loved since we missed them so much! When we got back we could see how happy and well cared for they both were! Jenna was caring and trustworthy and I know our pups would love to have her back!”
“Jacqueline was so great with my two dogs! I have a younger dog and an older one, and she was so great at managing the different energy levels of both! She gave frequent updates and photos, and left everything as it was before. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Katia was an excellent sitter for Gianni who is 15 years old. She was punctual, and very considerate of details about his routine based off post it notes and our initial meeting in person. If she had any questions, she asked, Katia also stayed longer at times to comfort him. Katia sent daily pictures on her visits along with updates. So I knew he was in great hands and gave me comfort while on my trip. Highly recommend Katia and will be using her in the future for Gianni.”
“Donna has been cat sitting for me for a while now. She is kind and respectful and has worked with me during times of travel difficulties. My boys really enjoy when she takes care of them!”
About: Hi everyone! My family and I are huge animal lovers. While we love all kinds of pets, cats and dogs hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud parents to Boo and Luna, our wonderful 6-year-old sibling cats, and Nena, our energetic, fun, and loving 1-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix. What We Offer: -Dog Walking: We love staying active! Walks can range anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the weather and your dog's energy levels. -Bathing & Grooming Support: I can easily accommodate special requests for baths. Having worked through bath-time anxiety with my own dogs, I have plenty of patience and personal experience making it a calm, safe process. - Drop-In Visits: I’m available for drop-ins to assist with feeding, play, or potty breaks—whatever your fur baby needs while you're away. - Boarding: I would love to host your dog in our home! To ensure a safe and happy environment for both your pet and ours, I require a quick initial meet-and-greet at my home first.

“Eileen is amazing! We have multiple dogs and one in particular is a handful. They were ALL well behaved, the house looked great when we got home and we got a report with photos everyday so we never had to worry about our fur babies! Thanks so much for your help Eileen!”
“Leonardo was amazing with Penny! He came in for a drop in visit and went above & beyond staying longer to keep playing with her. Leonardo was very sweet when we met him and I am definitely booking with him again!”
“Denille was amazing with our two dogs while we were away for a long day trip. We were quite anxious about leaving them, but she made us feel comfortable – giving medicine, taking photos, and keeping us updated. The house was very neat and tidy too, which was such a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Stephen and his family are the absolute best! My dogs were obviously comfortable and excited to see them daily. I received photos and updates every day, and am so happy to have trusted sitters. I would highly recommend them!”
About: As an attorney, I am both loving and responsible. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since highschool. I have experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I recently trained a rescue puppy who my family now calls our own! He is very energetic and reactive, so I know how to handle dogs who can be challenging. I grew up in a home with a dog and three cats and spent lots of time volunteering at an animal shelter. Animal care comes naturally to me! I am a professional, but I have a flexible schedule! I love taking a break from all the reading to play, walk, and care for your family member with fur. I truly value your trust and privacy. I am very accommodating to any preferences you have for your home or pet care. I will follow routines or schedules, remember instructions, and send updates or photos as often as you like!
About: I am a former playroom attendant at Dogtopia Doggy Daycare. I’ve cared for cats for 20+ years. I’ve cared for dogs for 18 years. I have minimal experience with training animals and some experience administering medication to pets. I am available to take dogs on walks or to dog parks. I am also available for pop-in visits. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry loved ones. I am available day and night to care for your animal. I can come into the home and provide care if needed. I have a fur child of my own that is very sociable and can come play with your pup.
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
“Justin was truly great! My dogs are senior dogs and require a lot of special attention, but he never missed a beat. He sent me plenty of photos and detailed updates about what happened during each visit. It was a relief to know my dogs were being well taken care of. I plan to use Justin again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tavistock
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Megan took care of our cat family of 5 plus 2 outdoor feral cats. The responsibilities included giving one of the cats two medications daily, multiple instructions for feeding wet/dry food based on individual preferences, and litter box maintenance. Megan did a great job by providing pictures and updates on all the entire crew on a daily basis. Additionally, she genuinely appeared to enjoy their company and I am sure the feeling was mutual. We would definitely use Megan again for future needs.
Emilyann was great with Luke, and he seemed to really look forward to her visits. I am thrilled that they got along so well. I am delighted to have Emilyann take care of Luke in his own home, where he's most relaxed! Emilyann is great with animals, very calm and confident! I will utilize her skills again!
Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated Julia’s warmth, professionalism, and communicativeness. The updates she sent throughout our trip were very reliable and reassuring. She was very easy to connect with and our cats seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We hope to book with Julia again!
Hunter is a conscientious, loving and professional person. She cared for my diabetic cat for two weeks and I received glowing reviews from him lol. I very much appreciate Hunter’s style as well. She was relaxed and confident around Mick. Hunter is and will be on Team Mick for future trips!!!!
Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.
Margot took very good care of firefly! She even took the time to play with him which we really appreciate! Firefly seemed to warm right up to her which speaks volumes to her natural love and attentiveness for cats! Also , she was very adaptable when we had a little key /lock mishap (my fault). thanks again ! Definitely will book again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tavistock is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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 8,803 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tavistock. 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 Tavistock. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
