“Molly did a great job watching Maggie and Gracie and was flexible when our flight got delayed due to weather. Would recommend Molly for overnights. She is gentle with dogs and they get to know her they are looking for pets constantly!”
“What a joy! We had an instant connection with Kira, and left (for over 3 weeks) knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. We have two dogs. One is a very calm 40 pound english setter. The other is an energetic and strong 100 pound Old English Sheepdog. She was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures, too. We highly recommend Kira, and will definitely use her again!”
“We booked Brianna last minute. She made time to come and meet with us and our pup. She took great care of Roscoe and our home. Sent lots of pictures and was good with communication. Recommended!”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have owned dogs since I was 8 years old. Growing up, I helped care for them every day, including walking, feeding, basic training, playtime, and making sure they stayed happy and active. Over the years, I've also cared for neighbors' and friends' dogs through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, overnight stays, and house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own. I understand that each pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to provide attentive, loving care while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra playtime, companionship while you're away, or consistent care in their familiar environment, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care around my classes. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and quality time with pets throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after while their owners are away. I provide pets with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of companionship and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a safe, welcoming environment with lots of supervision and care. I also have a very friendly Chihuahua mix who enjoys the company of other dogs and can provide a great playmate and companion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home
“James was great. He watched my house for a couple nights at the last minute, which really helped us out in a pinch. He was on time, respectful, and good with our dog ace. He sent us pictures throughout the day. Left the house just as we left it. I would recommend him and will definitely reach out again if we need someone in the future.”
“Hailey is so sweet and took excellent care of our home and two cats while we were away this week. We got updates and pictures of Cyrus and Suki and can tell they were well taken care of and the house was in great order when we returned. We definitely recommend Hailey for all of your house and pet sitting needs!”
About: i’ve been taking care of pets my whole life. I started pet and house sitting around 5 years ago for my family and still do! I have tuesday’s and thursday’s off of work until I start school then my schedule will change a bit! i’m a server with flexible hours I’m looking to keep your pet as comfortable as I can, if that’s taking your animal for a walk or laying with them on the couch
About: I have owned and cared for many pets as well as working for the forest park zoo tending to animals and socializing with them, as well as working as a dog groomer and a dog kennel attendant. I am very passionate and serious about pet care, our fluffy friends deserve the best. I have plenty of experience with elderly and special needs animals, as well as experience administering medication. As someone who owns many animals of my own, a dog, a cat, a multitude of small animals and reptiles, my entire life consists of caring for animals. It’s my main passion. I am available for bookings all day Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and available for mornings every other day of the week! I am a trustworthy person able to remember the schedule of your pets and any extra care they may need. Due to working in grooming for so long, I am excellent in time management and understanding the body language of dogs. I love to take my own dogs outside and play with them with a ball or a toy to help them get enrichment. I am also incredibly interested in training and find respect and boundaries to be very important when forming a relationship with an animal.
“Dereck did a phenomenal job with Duke, my 15-month old pit bull/terrier mix! He is easy to schedule with and does well with my energy ball of a pup! If you’re looking for a responsible, responsive sitter, Dereck is your guy. I’ll be booking him again!”
“Drew was great with our cats. I'd been a bit worried leaving town because Gideon just started a new medication regimen and I wasn't sure how he'd do with a new person administering, but Drew was patient while Gideon ate his medicated food and it was no problem. Even skittish Sophie was warming up to Drew within a few days, which is fast for her. I would definitely hire Drew again next time we're out of town!”

“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family for all of the my life. Every family get together wouldn't be complete without a pack of at least 4 dogs playing and generally knocking things over. I have had two dogs of my own now and I keep them happy and healthy with tons of love and exercise. My recently pased husky lived to be almost 16, and was spunjy to the end. My current husky/golden mix is such a prince and I love hiking and spending time outside with him. I spend a lot of my time with my dog giving him structure and love and I understand that special relationship humans have with their hounds. I also understand that not every dog is a happy-go-lucky, tail wagging, "give me pets" sort of dog (my dog certainly isn't with strangers) and that all animals are unique and have their own personalities. I work on understanding and respecting what their individual needs are and put them before my own. I I love working with animals of all kinds, wild, domestic, and agricultural. I respect their boundaries and individuality and gladly invite all kinds of critters into my life! I am a very serious worker and take confidence and whatever I do and try to remain reflective and open to feedback I work full time, but I do have some flexibility to work from home/leave the office when needed. I can also bring a dog into the office with me. I have a fenced in yard and am happy to walk outside rain or shine or snow. Happy to walk in the morning or evening.

I cannot express enough how wonderful she was with our furbabies! She was extremely communicative and sent great photos to keep us updated on the daily happenings. Our furbabies were very happy, as were we! I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
What a joy! We had an instant connection with Kira, and left (for over 3 weeks) knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. We have two dogs. One is a very calm 40 pound english setter. The other is an energetic and strong 100 pound Old English Sheepdog. She was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures, too. We highly recommend Kira, and will definitely use her again!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We reached out with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages, photos, and videos which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs were getting plenty of love, attention, and great care while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups! We’d absolutely book with Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.

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 Athol Junction 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 Athol Junction 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 Athol Junction 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!

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 .
