About: I love animals and I’ve always had pets. In 2020, when work went online, I started doing a lot of dog sitting and dog walking. I have experience with lots of different breeds and different needs. I currently have a senior dog, Bailey, who is an absolute angel. Bailey has some health issues so I have lots of experience with dogs who may have specialized diets or need medications. My daughter has an Australian shepherd, so I also have experience with dogs who may need some more structure when you are away. On top of dog care, I have experience with most other pets (cats, fish, gerbils, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and even geckos) so if you have any other pets who need some care while you are away, I am able to. I am an assistant teacher, so during the school year, I follow the schools calendar but during the summer I am completely free. During the school year, I am able to care for your dog before and after the school day and always have weekends and federal holidays off if you are going away for a long weekend. During the summer, I’m very flexible with my time, and can easily help walk and care for pets, when you are busy at work or doing other things. I love animals and will make sure they get the best care possible! I will make sure they’re happy and well taken care of at all times. I will also always provide updates during a service or stay and communicate with you to ensure your pet is doing the best they possibly can.
“Allison is the best! She has been available every single time I've requested service even if its last minute. She always keeps me updated on how my puppy is doing and even sends pictures and tells me how many times he went potty. I am always able to rely on her to take good care of my baby while I'm at work! :) Thanks Allison!”
“Rachel was great to work with! She came by for several drop in visits for our dog who really enjoyed it! She was easy to communicate with and prompt for each appointment. Would recommend working with her!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve had lots of experience, especially with my own dogs! Always super observant as well with all animals and will look out with the best care possible! Pet care fits into my daily routine by taking care of my two dogs that I have at home with feeding them morning and night! And taking them for walks, making sure they have enough water. And also giving medications when needed. I care for my pets by making sure they always are feeling loved and cared for! Taking them for walks, making sure they're getting enough exercise and playing with them for fun! Ensuring they’re always fed and have enough water!
About: I have lived and taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember! From huskies, to mixed breed, I have had all types of dogs in my life but have had Goldens the last 15 years. I have taken care of puppies and I have had to administer subcutaneous fluids to our aging pup. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my pup, or yours. I am typically home but if not, never more than 10 minutes away. Any dog welcomed to my home will be treated like family and will get the same walks and outside time as our dog. I have a one year golden that loves to play in our fenced in yard and take walks around the neighborhood. He frequently sleeps on our couch and bed, so if you are comfortable with that your dog is welcome to as well! If not, I have no problem keeping dogs off furniture if that’s the preference. I will take the same care of your dog as I do mine.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s cats since I was young, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and friends of the family. I’ve taken care of 4 rambunctious dogs at once so I can handle the commotion. I am back in school so I can take care of pets whenever I’m not in class. Though I will need time to study and do homework outside of class I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am willing to do whatever is needed to ensure your pet gets the proper care. If I’m not given more specific instructions I will walk them once a day, feed them, let them out when needed, and give them plenty of attention.
“Jennifer is awesome!! I've booked Jen for drop-ins with my high energy young cat, and she always spends the full 30 mins with him, sends lots of great photos, and gives me peace of mind when I'm away that my cat is happy, cared for, and not destroying the house haha. I will definitely be a repeat client for Jen! :)”
“Dayanara did an excellent job taking care of Cora. She followed directions and sent me pictures as well. She delivers such a great service. The Meet and Greet was very professional and she even brought some treats and toys. I was very impressed. Daya cleaned up a bit as well and I came home to a well organized living room. Cora and I are very thankful. I’m definitely going to rebook with her. Thanks Daya!”
“Amy was very thorough with her details about the visit. Followed my directions on what I am working on with the puppy. And she was very professional when I met her during our meet and greet.”
About: I have had a dog since i was 3 years old and upped it to two dogs when I was in 5th grade! I currently have a 11 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and a 7 year old Shih tzu/Bichon Frise mix and I love them both so much! I just graduated from college this past May and am spending the summer in North Andover searching for jobs. I will be available almost everyday of the week for pet care. Both of my dogs are very friendly and are usually very interested in a new friend at the beginning but settle down after they have been acquainted. I am comfortable putting your dog in a crate if needed and can provide frequent potty breaks
“Jen is so amazing. We trust her implicitly with my animals that have included a 15-year-old dog with medical issues, a fear aggressive rescue dog and two cats that love to try to escape the house. She is extremely communicative and loves the animals as if they are her own. I never worry when I am away and she is taking care of my crew. Can not recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Andover
Kathilin did a great job checking on my dogs while we were away for the day. She was on time for the scheduled visits and made sure they got outside and had fresh water and were confront able before she left. She sent detailed notes about the visits and shared photos. I feel really comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and have booked her again for a week long stay while we travel.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Andover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Andover 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Andover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
