“Rowan had a great time playing with the other dogs and cooling off in the wedding pool. He was happy and engaged at drop off and happy and tired when we picked him up. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!”


“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”

“Finn was very happy to have other dogs to play with! Kevin and Inez sent us a photo or video most days and that was great! Highly recommend these sitters for your fur babies!”


“Sam and Thomas were great. I have a very large mastiff puppy who was nervous at first. They were very patient and he warmed up to their dogs the next day. I would use them again! Great first Rover experience!”



“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”


“Min Joo is a very thoughtful and accommodating dog sitter. We had a wonderful experience and felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of with the frequent communication and photo/video updates.”


“Tom has watched him for a day and boarded my Doodle twice now and always takes amazing care of him. He comes back happy and tired each time and I get updates while we are away to show he is adjusting fine. He gets excited for each return.”


“I picked up a happy pup after a stay with Eddie and Rene. Eddie took Charlie on walks, hikes, and to the local parks. He has two other dogs who got along well with Charlie. Eddie is quick to respond to texts and sends pictures along. We will have Charlie stay with Eddie and Rene again. Thank you !”


“It was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving Juniper with someone who wasn't family, friend or vets - and we could not have been luckier to find Tara. She communicated well, sent plenty of pictures and updates and made everything flawless. We had to switch our drop-off time and she was so nice about it. Everything was simple and it all turned out great! I could not recommend her more!”


“Sarah, Ben and Bean are the BEST. Attie had the most incredible time playing with Bean and I loved the updates and pictures. Sarah knew how nervous I felt leaving him for nearly 3 weeks and was so considerate and kind. Attie came home tired and he seems like he misses Bean and Sarah already. Love that we have found such an incredible family to leave Attie with when we are away ❤️”


“It’s always tough to leave our dog at a new place with a new person, but Alyssa made it easy and comforting :). Appreciated the check-ins and pictures too! Thank you for looking after Juno and she looks forward to seeing you again!”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Looking to get my own, but in the meantime, would be excited to watch yours. I have plenty of toys and treats and I’m happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable to keep your furry friend happy! I currently work at Dartmouth Hitchcock full-time which is why I typically can only watch during the weekend. My flexibility means I can also sometimes work remote. Depending on your preference, I’m sure we can work out something great. I am happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable. I love to go for a walk, so I’m happy to take them down to the small park that we have. Or if they’re not much of a walker, I’m happy to sit and relax as long as they know how to pick a TV show.

“Cindy was the best rover Apollo has visited. She was super easy to contact, helpful with updates and even helped me w some training tips. Apollo didn’t want to go home after - will definitely contact again”


“Samantha is honestly the best. I was stressing who is going to watch my puppy while I go on An emergency trip to my hometown and she took my puppy in. I was so nervous because he’s still so young and I know puppy’s are such a handful but she always kept me up to date. I plan To have Samantha watch Theo again in the future if any thing pops up again. Thank you so much! Please let your pup watch her.. she’s the best I promise.”


About: There was not a single day in my life that I was not surrounded by dogs. No matter which house we lived in, I was always greeted after school by one, two or three dogs. Before moving for university, my mother and I began fostering puppies for two weeks at time. We would wake up at 4am when we heard them squealing, stay up late making sure they could have the latest potty break possible for hopes of maybe sleeping in the next day, and even build a pen in our backyard to allow for endless playtime together. Due to these numerous pups we cared for, my dogsitting popularity skyrocketed in our neighborhood. I was being called upon every other week to care for my neighbors cats, dogs, and once even a chinchilla. Now, I hope to provide the same service and be there for your cutest friends when life simply gets in the way. I don't mind the -20 degree weather if it means going for a nice brisk walk with your dogs.

Beatrice H.Star Sitter
“Bea has taken care of our 3 cats and home for a number of years when we travel. She has always been available, and is very dependable. I am confident that both our cats and home are being looked after when we are away. She is definitely a pet lover. Her family lives behind us, and I watch her play with and spend time with her dogs. When we are away, Bea keeps in touch with us; she lets us know how the cats are and if there are any concerns, or just to send cute cat photos. I highly recommend Bea D. for a position with Rover.com for dog sitting.”
