About: I have been dog sitting friends and family animals since college. I am devoted to animals and their wellbeing! Whether big or small I love all of them. I have experience dog sitting, cat sitting. I have three birds, a cockatiel, and two parakeets. I have had dogs of my own growing up, small, medium, and large sized. I have also grown up riding horses and caring for them as well. I love any animal, no matter the kind. I work full time Mondays to Fridays 8:30am-4pm I am willing to take care of your animals when I get out of work. I have an open availability for weekend days. I would go to your home and care for your animal/animals! I would provide them with food, water, bathroom breaks, and if they require any special medication.


“Susan was wonderful with my 3 doxies. She sent me pictures while I was away and sent me texts too. She made sure they were fed, had plenty of water and outside play time. I would definitely use Susan again in the future.”


About: I've been raised with dogs and cats since day one. They are part of my DNA. I'm kind and caring and will treat your pet like my own. I am pet free for the very first time. Your pet will be my total priority. Call me, Jean. I have great references. I'm trained in first aid I am retired from Alaska Airlines. I make several week long trips a year. Otherwise I am close at hand to meet your needs at your home or mine. My bungalow is fenced in and has good dog walking areas surrounding the property. I normally take my pets to the beach 2 blocks from my home. Walking intervals are every 3 hours unless more is needed.

“Geoff is a dog person through and through. This was my first time using rover and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. My dog Millie is very timid and he was so patient and attentive that it only took minutes for her to warm up. He took the time to learn the things she enjoys and made sure her stay was full of those things from walks to fetch to snuggles. I received multiple thorough updates and never once questioned that she was receiving the absolute best care. I will definitely be rebooking with Geoff in the near future!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I always treat each animal as if they were my own. My focus is on keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, and walks. Your pets will always get the attention, playtime, and care they need without feeling rushed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their regular routines in their own home environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, exercise, and medications, and I give plenty of attention, play, and affection to keep them happy while their family is away. I also prioritize safety by keeping doors locked, checking that gates are secure, and always supervising outdoor time on walks or in fenced areas. My goal is to give pets the same level of care and trust they’re used to, while giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are in responsible hands.

“Evan did a great job with our large (3 cats and 2 dogs) menagerie for a week. Pets were well cared for and even though I had some pretty specific feeding instructions, Evan handled it perfectly. Communication was exceptional, and everything with the house was great when we got home. Honestly, no notes. I highly recommend Evan and will book again in the future.”


“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”


“I booked with Audrey for house sitting after she previously did some dog walking. Just like with dog walking, she was great with house sitting. She watched my dog for a few days and everything was great. She was so respectful of my home and did a great job caring for my dog.”


“Sam is great! She’s very communicative, easy going, and has nice energy. Our naturally-anxious dog warmed up to her quickly and was in very good care with Sam. She also agreed to stay an extra day for us with no questions asked - that flexibility was much appreciated. Will definitely book again. 😊”


About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Kim! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, and honestly? Hanging out with dogs and cats is my favorite thing. Big dogs, tiny floofs, grumpy cats, clingy cats—I love them all. I’m the kind of sitter who sends photo updates, gives way too many treats (with permission!), and talks to your pet like they’re a tiny human. Need meds given? Got it. Weird quirks? I’m here for it. Basically, if your pet needs love, playtime, and someone who actually gets them—I’m your person. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet sitting. I’m highly responsible, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Here’s a short version you could use: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and care. I’m respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving everything just as I found it, ensuring both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Allison is fantastic! This was the first time we hired a sitter and we were a little apprehensive but Allison relieved all our worries. Our two dogs, Joe and Molly and even our cat, Jeff were extremely happy and well taken care of the whole time we were gone. We couldn't be happier with the care Allison provided and will definitely be looking to book with her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around. I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years; starting from when I was very young to the present, caring for my own and other's pets. My experience ranges from caring for puppies to senior dogs: I stay with them and ensure they are fed, walked, and loved. I am retired, so pets fit into my schedule easily. I do some part-time work but normally just for three-four hours on weekdays, so I can commit to long term pet care and house-sitting, as I no longer have pets of my own (so look forward to caring for yours)! I can only care for pets at the clients' homes at this time. I am very respectful of your home and your animal(s)' care, like following a restricted diet; I do, as I would want a pet-sitter to do for my pets.

About: From little to senior, I have experience with all ages and am willing to do anything to make sure your fur baby is happy and well. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I’m super consistent and very planned out! When caring for pets in my clients homes, I follow their usual routines to keep both client and pet comfortable and stress free! I can provide fresh food, water, walks, playtime, and lots of affection! I keep their space clean and stay in touch with owners for regular updates, making sure their pets and happy!

“Ryan is great. He spent 8 hours at my house with my dog and my dog loved him. Ryan sent me updates and pictures throughout the day. It was the first time I left my dog with a sitter so I was happy to see just how well he was taking care of my dog. I definitely recommend Ryan and would use him again.”


About: I'm a dog lover. I am back in New England after 10 years away and have reactivated my Rover account. At 14 years old, my sweet Boston Terrier died in 2023. While I no longer have my own dog, I work from home and am happy for the opportunity to care for yours. :-) Because I work from home, your dog is sure to receive extra love and attention. Your dog is a family member - I get it - and while you're away, you can be assured he/she is receiving care, companionship, and a comfortable safe place to play and lounge. Separation anxiety is real for dog owners too! ;-) To ease your mind, I'm happy to send pictures so you can see updates on your pup, happy and cared for. I want you to have peace of mind. In the summer months, the AC is on, ensuring your pet stays comfortable on hot days. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. Your pet will have company and care as needed throughout the day. It's my pleasure to have their company as well. I live in a lovely waterside neighborhood -- a great place for long walks. Space for a crate and dog bed for your pup to feel at home.

“Tarah is amazing. She is highly dependable and kind. Her dog-watching skills are exceptional. From the moment she met Hazel, they had a bond. I highly recommend her to any dog owner. I wish I could give 10 stars.”

I would absolutely recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a kind and competent pet sitter!”


Margaret M.
“Our friends referred us to “Auntie Meg,” their favorite dog-sitter. She has now taken care of our pup for five years – for quick weekends, as well as for weeks at a time, anytime we are away. Jax used to get sad when we took out our luggage, now he sees the luggage and does a happy spin because he knows Meg is coming to stay with him. His tail starts wagging the second he hears her car and we can calmly leave for vacation, knowing he will be well cared for the entire time (no pet stress :). We highly recommend her, as she loves dogs (and cats), is responsible and, quite simply, Jax adores her. P & M”

Megan is very responsive and was available for a meet and greet and a last minute weekend stay with our two dogs. She took great care of them and kept our home nice and tidy for our return. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend which helped me feel at ease as this was my first time using the rover app to book a sitter. I highly recommend Megan!

Lucy and Struan were great watching Sabbath for us while we were out of town! The house was super clean and they updated us with pictures everyday! She even stayed later to accommodate our crazy schedule that was fluctuating due to traffic and weather! Very good communication the whole time, we would definitely use them again!
