About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.

About: Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful—you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and with someone who will genuinely understand their individual needs. That’s exactly the kind of care I aim to provide! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I especially enjoy working with high-energy dogs and have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with fear-based behaviors. I’m comfortable taking the time to understand their triggers, routines, and boundaries rather than expecting every dog to behave or interact the same way. I also know how important consistency is! If you’re working on things like not jumping on guests, waiting at thresholds, staying off counters, leash manners, or other household rules, I’d love to know. I’ll reinforce the routines and expectations you already have in place rather than accidentally teaching your dog that the rules change when you’re away. I have three dogs of my own—two Golden Retrievers and an Australian Shepherd—so high energy, lots of personality, and dogs who need both physical and mental stimulation are very familiar territory. Depending on your dog, that might mean a good walk, sniffing and exploring, fetch, playtime, puzzle activities, or simply some one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with additional medical or emotional needs. I have experience with epileptic dogs requiring medication on a strict schedule, as well as dogs who become frightened or anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. And I’m definitely not just a dog person! I’ve been caring for cats since I was about 10 years old and have experience with both healthy cats and cats with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and subcutaneous fluids and have cared for cats with chronic kidney disease and FeLV. Most importantly, I know how much trust you’re putting in someone when you ask them to care for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and give them the same attention and care I’d want someone to give my own animals. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, happy, engaged, and in good hands. I am available for walks and drop in visits in the evenings on weekdays (generally, after 5PM), and have more flexibility on weekends to provide pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine to help minimize stress and keep them comfortable while their family is away. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I incorporate activities such as sniff walks, training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or interactive play when appropriate. For cats, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding schedules are maintained, and that they receive the level of interaction they enjoy—whether that’s play sessions, brushing, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for cats with special medical needs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring it remains clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.

About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

About: I’ve taken care of a few dogs/cats here and there while also having my own in the past from babies to seniors. I’m gentle, loving and care about your pets as if they were my own! I’m new to Rover and can’t wait to catch more experiences! I do work full time during the week, but pet care easily fits into my routine! I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medications, crating, or any special needs your pet may have.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I’m no stranger to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and the occasional pet with a mind of its own. I also regularly care for my grandmother’s cats whenever she’s away, giving me experience looking after pets that aren’t my own. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to relax with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a great time. I work for USPS, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. On my days off and during my free time, I love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll be there on time and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Vacation with peace of mind knowing your beloved canine family member will be safe and happy; and perhaps, a bit overly loved. There’s always lots of play and pamper time and all walks are free! I’ll gladly keep in direct contact with you providing pictures and videos throughout each. I will lay with your fur babies, play outside, go on walks/adventures, relax and watch movies. I love all animals and believe they deserve to have a good time even when their owner cannot be home. I have always been an animal lover, i never felt like watching them was work, just fun. I respect the owner's wishes for anything they need me to do in order to give their animal the best experience while I am watching them. I am always home since I’m a full time grooming student @ Animal Behavior College. My long term goal is to open up a pet and spa resort one day! 🐾 I believe that daily exercise, games, mental challenges and proper socialization is necessary for your pup to live a long and happy life! We think it’s so important that we do it for our pup and of course yours while you are away. I have a fenced in back area and 2 fur babies myself to keep your pup company. We have extra crated if needed and loads of toys to keep them happy! If alone time is their thing, they are always allowed to cuddle with us on our furniture! If a drop- in, I am very good at following concise instructions to insure happy and safe animals while you’re away! I am always home as I’m a mom of three. Your pet will get lots of one on one attention from me. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a fenced yard outside area and lots of toys. Also, I have a pool for my fur friends to play and cool off in during the summer! Your fur baby will feel at home and will receive lots of love and cuddles.

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.
