“Lily was great with my pup! He really loved spending time with her and was always excited when she came. She did a great job communicating! She made me feel completely comfortable with leaving my pup in her hands. Thanks Lily!!!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. I’m used to be around two big dogs and one cat everyday but ever since moving out of my hometown I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. And there are so many wonderful walking paths near me.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve dog sat at peoples homes, did pop up visits and boarded dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I make my own schedule for my work so I have a lot of free time to help with your pups and cats. Schedules and care plans can be discussed. I have a very large yard with a ground mount so your dog can freely run around. I don’t have any dogs of my own currently.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from raising playful puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’m experienced and comfortable meeting the needs of dogs at every age and stage! As a flight attendant, my schedule is always changing, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility in my time off. On my days home, I love being grounded and spending quality time caring for pets. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle because I’m able to fully dedicate my attention to the animals when I’m off. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a walk, or overnight care, I make sure to plan around my availability so I can be reliable and present for each pet I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and calm environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions or preferences from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I give them plenty of affection and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also keep the owner updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have lifelong experience with animal companions, and many years of experience caring for other people’s furry friends! I have experience with special needs animal companions, high needs breeds such as Great Pyrenees and dachshunds, and multi pet households. I am in grad school and very flexible with my time! I am free weekends and all weekdays after 3 pm, as well as most of the day Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I believe that our animal companions experience the full spectrum of emotion and sensation, and I treat our animal friends with as much respect, care and compassion as I do our human ones.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong foundation of hands-on care and deep respect for animals of all ages and personalities. I began pet sitting professionally between the ages of 11 and 16, but my experience started even earlier—I've grown up alongside four incredible dogs. I watched three loyal, high-energy black labs and one sweet, sensitive rescue chow-retriever mix go from energetic puppies to aging companions needing extra patience and care. I’ve learned how to meet dogs where they are with love, structure, and attentiveness, bringing both enthusiasm and compassion to every visit. I recently stepped down from my waitressing job to focus on my studies and spend more time doing what I genuinely love—caring for animals. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. With my flexibility, I’m able to offer consistent, attentive care. I'm currently available weekdays from 7 AM to 9 PM, with weekend availability and additional hours upon request. I prioritize creating a calm, comfortable environment that feels safe and familiar to your pet. Even in their own home, being alone with a stranger is scary. I follow all care instructions to a tee, from feeding routines and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I make sure to treat each home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, tidy, and secure—and each pet!

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets throughout my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of those dogs are massive, and one is small. I get the best of both worlds and know how to treat all kinds of dogs. Pet care is something I do at home on a day to day basis. It’s something I enjoy and it’s something I’m good at. If I can help other people while enjoying what I’m doing, I’d say that’s a big win. When I sit at other peoples homes, I take into account the pets behaviors and the spots they tend to spend the most of their time in. Frequently checking in, giving them space when needed, spending time with them, those are all important factors.

About: With 15+ years of pet-sitting experience — and over 6 years as a daily Rover user — I know exactly what it takes to keep tails wagging. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. Need a last-minute booking? No problem! I’m flexible, dependable, and ready to treat your pup like part of my own family. I’ve booked Rover for my own pup, Murphy, more than 150 times, learning firsthand what makes an amazing sitter. Now, with extra time in my schedule, I’m excited to give back to this wonderful community and be your go-to, reliable Rover! I am available throughout the weekday nearly anytime for first time or repeat families! Weekends are booked for repeat customers only. Meet and greet opportunities are preferred before booking, including video options as well. A range of time or specific to the half hour is available. Your pup’s safety is always my #1 priority. I keep a close eye on dogs during walks, avoid unsafe areas, and only use secure leashes and harnesses. I never let dogs off-leash unless in a fully fenced, owner-approved space. At home, my environment is dog-friendly and free from hazards, with plenty of cozy spots to rest and clean, fresh water always available. I follow any special feeding, medication, or care instructions to the letter, and I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

About: Growing up, I had the sweetest golden retriever you could ever hope to meet. Based on my life circumstances, I haven't been able to have a dog of my own since, but have spent a lot of time caring for friends' dogs---walking, feeding, grooming, playing with, and medicating as needed. For now, I'm between jobs, courses, etc., so my schedule is pretty open, and I can prioritize spending time with your animals as you see fit. As for safety inside, make sure that dogs don't have easy access to toxic foods and other dangerous objects that they could accidentally ingest. Same goes for garbage cans. For outside safety, proximity to the street and moving traffic is key. In general, I keep dogs on the leash unless we're in a fenced-in area, and alone. If we see another dog, I always check with the other people first to see if their dog is safe to socialize with.

About: I volunteer at a local animal rescue fostering dogs, and assisting around the kennel. I have four dogs of my own & a multitude of other animals. I grew up in a family that treats dogs as such, and have developed a love and passion for helping animals. I work remotely right now and would be able to adjust my work schedule to accommodate necessary dog walks/visits. Since I work remotely, while dog sitting I have plenty of time to spend with your dog while in my care. I am understanding of each dogs individual needs and happy to accommodate any requests made by a pets owner. I have four of my own dogs who are friendly and inviting.

About: I’ve had three large/medium dogs in my family for a decade now! We raised one of our Labradors from a puppy, so I have some experience there too. I am also experienced with anxious pups and senior dogs as well. I work a part-time job in Hadley and mainly work nights. I have reliable transportation and care for my dogs at home daily. My days and afternoons are fairly open as long as I have some notice. When I’m first meeting a pet, it’s all on their terms. I never want a dog to feel uncomfortable around me and have that lead to a potentially unsafe situation. We crate one of our dogs at night/when we leave the house so I’ve got experience with crating too.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals—3 dogs and 5 cats—so caring for pets has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’ve walked energetic puppies, strolled with senior dogs, and everything in between. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block, a trip to the park to burn energy or some calm company for your cat, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like I would with my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I work with very flexible hours, so I have good availability both week days and weekends. Available for boarding any night and walks and check ins typically weekday evenings and anytime weekends. Will always ensure pets are properly leashed/harnessed before trips outside. Able to keep up with high energy pets. Very communicative with both clients and pets needs.

About: I have love and owned dogs for over 30 years. Also, I have been dog sitting and other pets (chickens and horses) for five years. I stay home full time and love to pet sit as a hobby. I enjoy being around animals and caring for them to give owners a chance to be carefree on their vacations and the like without worrying about their pets. I have a fenced area as well as plenty of space for dogs in my home. The pets will have ample space. I also can watch chickens, horses, goats, pigs, llamas, a regular Doc Dolittle!

About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed puppy, who would love to run and wrestle with your dog. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.

About: I have taken care of my friends and family’s pets. One was a senior dog who was crippled, she could not use her back legs, so I helped her in and out of the house and gave her medication. I have no trouble taking dogs out in the rain or snow! This isn’t just a job to me, it’s a part of who I am. I bring patience, intuition, and a grounded energy to every pet I care for. As a remote digital marketer, I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can be fully present for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or keeping them company while I work, your pets won’t be left alone or waiting for attention. I structure my work around their needs and not the other way around. If a dog needs a walk to reset their energy, I’m out the door with them. If a cat wants a cozy lap while I send emails, that’s the dream! Caring for animals actually enhances my day. It keeps me grounded, active, and connected, so I show up better for both your pet and my work. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I create a peaceful, loving environment whether I’m in your home or mine. I follow your pet’s routine, keep the space clean, and give them the presence and attention they need to feel safe and calm. I’m gentle, reliable, and always happy to send updates. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first always!
