About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life! I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors as well as family since I was 14. I am a total animal lover and look forward to being around them. I’m also a medically focused student for those who may have an elderly dog or one that needs a little extra care or medicine administrations. I’ve also been a house sitter for families and friends in my general area for many years! PLEASE NOTE: I AM LEAVING CAPE COD AUGUST 30TH FOR COLLEGE! I am home from college for the summer. I spent my time at school dogsitting/walking and loved it and wanted to continue on at home! I work Friday-Tuesday days but I am flexible after/before my shifts as well as on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always do my best to give the pet my undivided attention. I enjoy hanging out with the pups, whether they want to pay or just want to cuddle for a bit. I pride myself on being on time with bathroom breaks, meals, and walks to make sure the dogs are getting the best care possible!
About: I’m new on Rover, but over the past 15 years, I have provided dedicated pet sitting services for a wide variety of families, including those living on military bases. This extensive background, combined with owning a high energy Brittany Spaniel and a gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has given me a deep, well rounded understanding of different breed temperaments, strict home care rules, and structured routines. Whether your dog requires high energy exercise, specialized attention, or careful adherence to specific neighborhood boundaries, I bring the experience, trust, and reliability needed to keep your pets safe, happy, and completely at ease.

When your pup is with me, you can expect regular text updates and plenty of cute photos so you can have total peace of mind! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pup with the exact same vigilance and care that I give my own two dogs.

I am extremely mindful of door safety, ensuring pups are secure before any entryways are opened. 🐾 Tailored to Their Needs: With a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier of my own, I know how to keep energetic dogs safely stimulated and small or sensitive dogs completely protected and relaxed. 📸 Clear Communication: I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive regular check ins, updates, and photo updates so you always know your baby is safe, happy, and thriving. 📋 Strict Adherence to Routines: Whether your pup has specific dietary restrictions, precise medication schedules, or distinct boundary training rules, I follow your instructions down to a T.

“Gail is a loving and conscientious sitter. This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling quite a lot of anxiety about leaving my cat with a stranger. But Gail came over for a meet and greet and Charley took to her very quickly. Gail is trustworthy and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my Charley in her hands. She sent multiple daily pictures and updates, spent time playing g and loving up on her and Charley was fine and happy when I came home.”

About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.
“Jackie was wonderful with my 11yo Siberian Husky, Bella! From the moment they met, Bella welcomed her with kisses. She was very prompt and attentive to Bella’s needs for relief and exercise while I was at work all day. We’ve moved to Florida for the winter but look forward to seeking the ease and security of Rover.com in the future.”
About: Dear Pet owners, My name is Dave and have been watching pets now for about 10 years on and off. Mostly local and for friends and family. Now that I've discovered Rover I'd like to branch out a bit and meet new four-legged friends and their owners too. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around their neighborhoods, local conservation sites and to the beaches in the off-season. I've taken care of both cats and dogs and houses and plants too, at all times of the year. I know the area fairly well and I enjoy the elements no matter what they bring here in New England. I'm good at following specific diet rules as many of our pets are picky and some may get sickly otherwise. I enjoy playing with pups and lounging with the older dogs too. I'm fairly flexible when it comes to where I'm staying if it's overnight and not shy when it comes to cleaning up after a pets mess here and there. Overall I like dogs and cats, we seem to get along well and we often have a good time and they are always well taken care of while they're owners are away.
About: My life has included dogs for as long I can remember and I have always seemed to read them intuitively, including “problem dogs” that others have difficulty interacting with. I have extensive personal dog handling and grooming experience over the past 25 years and have owned up to 6 dogs at a time. I currently have a 10 year old Chihuahua-mix named Kitty but I have experience training and caring for Border Collies, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Irish Terriers, Wire Fox Terriers, Poodle mixes, Great Danes, and a Wolf-German Shepherd hybrid. I am knowledgeable about canine body language and how to remain calm around anxious/fearful/aggressive dogs as well as how to redirect dogs from potential conflicts. I own and operate an event-services business which runs primarily on the weekends, allowing me to offer dog care Monday through Friday and on certain weekends as available. I am able to care for dogs according to their owner’s needs and requests. This may include administering medication, changing diapers, feeding, walking or just spending time with.

I am unable to board, but would love to help you out at your home! Happy to do simple tasks and keep everything clean around the house!
About: Hi, my name is Taylor. I’m a 23 year old nurse who works evenings at a rehab unit. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have a 6 month old very friendly, gentle and kind German Shepherd who I have trained on my own. Since I have most mornings off, I thought I could use my free time playing with other dogs, feeding, walking or as desired. Will runwith dogs if they enjoy jogging. Love grooming animals. Also if wanted more puppy/dog interactions, my Shepherd could go for walks as well or play in the yard for socialization or energy exertion. I am good with all dogs, all shapes and sizes and I’m strong for my size so bring on the big dogs who like to pull or jump. Excited to meet you and your furry friends!

I have 2 large very energetic dogs ! Julia was very comfortable with them when she first met them. Dogs are very intuitive and they loved her. We returned from a 3 day trip to 2 very happy dogs. Julia sent several photos at each drop in visit which we truly appreciated.

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.
