“We were very pleased with Jessica P, and our first time using Rover.com. Jessica provided four drop-in visits for our cat Jane over a three day period. We received a comprehensive listing with checked off tasks and photos of Jane after each visit. Also time arrived and time competed for that visit. We are looking forward to many future drop-in visits and appreciate Jessica's experience, knowledge and enthusiasm dealing with our 14 year old cat”
“Emily was an AMAZING dog-sitter. I felt so comfortable with her. She clearly loves dogs and knows a lot about them. She was extremely responsible and professional. She even made my dog some little bandanna to wear around his neck. It was ADORABLE. Thank you Emily for being the best dog-sitter ever!”

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.
About: I have a large yard fully fenced in and a large home for your dog to hang out in! I have two rescue dogs that are like my children who love to play with new doggie friends! I love to play with them in the backyard and give them all the snuggles. I grew up with dogs and even as a child I walked dogs to earn extra money, I will treat your dogs like my own because they too are part of the family and deserve to be treated as so. From over night care or walking your doggies or just check ups your pup(s) they will have the best time with my and my babies! Can’t wait to care for a special part of your family!
About: I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife. As an experienced former veterinary technician with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont, I stayed true to passion throughout my career. Twice a week I volunteer in the animal clinic at NEAS, the local animal shelter. During the spring, summer and fall I work on the beach as a Conservation Biologist. My love of animals and especially dogs started when I was very little, and continued through my adult life, until I finally got my own little love. Having a high energy German Shepherd means I am used to breeds of all sizes and exercise requirements. My dog and I live a very active lifestyle, with frequent runs, walks and trips to the woods and beach. Even though we live in an apartment, we still make time to stretch our legs! I hope I can help you do the same for your dog. I provide walking services, house visits and medication or fluid administration if needed as part of the pets daily regiment. I am able to walk your dog during the week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (anytime from 9-5) for 30min-1hr (whatever is best for your pet!). Cuddles, kisses and hugs are free of charge! I get just as much joy out of it as your dog does.

I currently have a sheperd/Akita mix named Shiloh who is3 years old I work evenings from home so I am available day time hours for walks. I could possibly be available on Saturdays. I don't want to overbooked myself and want to make sure I can spend time with the dog I am very clean and reliable and conscious of dogs safety. I treat my dog like my child. I always make sure she is happy and safe
About: I've had three dogs and one cat in my life! The best parts of my days are spent throwing the ball or going for walks with my pups! I am currently in school and leaving my full time job, have lots of extra time to spend playing with and caring for your animals! I am very aware of my surroundings, always triple checking before completing a task, and love to keep things clean and organized to make for a smooth interaction!
About: I love to bring dogs swimming (if they love the water). Ill bring them on long walks, or runs. I am avaiable in the mornings for dog walking. I have been house sitting for my aunt and her dog for about 5 years now. I make sure that I am there for the anything that the dogs needs. Feeding on time, bringing them out for bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough exercise. Over the years, I have owned a small range of dogs, from a Miniature Pincher to three Great Danes at a time. I have experience taking care of Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Sheppards, Rottweilers, and many more. I absolutely adore all animals but especially dogs, I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian.

Colchester cat parents share their Rover experiences
Shannon was delightful to work with! She made us feel so confident and at ease that our 3 older felines and 1 foster mama and her 2 kittens were all loved on and thoughtfully looked after. Ours can be a tough crew to look after some times but Shannon handled all with ease, even administering meds twice daily to 2 of them. We looked forward to her daily, playful updates and pictures! She went above and beyond cleaning up and maintaining order in our home. Shannon is definitely a “keeper”!! We will recommend her to friends and will most certainly re-book when we travel again!
