“Allison was great. She came twice a day to feed and look after our dog while we were away on vacation. She was punctual, responsive and reliable and our dog loved her. She even changed her plans and came early one day when an emergency came up. Don't hesitate to book her, we will definitely be using Allison again. :)”
“Tiffany did a great job caring for two cats, one of which needs oral medication every 12 hrs. She did a great job getting him to take the meds. Tiffany also was very engaging with the cats. We will definitely use her again”
“Danielle continues to be absolutely amazing with our puppy. We are comfortable knowing he is in such good hands with her and would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!”
About: Walking your dog will probably be the highlight of my day!I’ve spent my whole life helping raise dogs small to large, as well as helping friends and family out often. Even though in college I was a Health Science major, i took elective animal psych and behavioral classes that i feel really helped my understanding and knowledge about dogs and cats! I make my schedule to fit my pets needs, so in the morning I let my 2 dogs out for potty and little exercise before breakfast.My mom works from home so she will come let them out around noon and at 5 one of them goes on a walk with me while the other stays back in the yard (he doesn't like the outside world)! I will make sure your dogs needs are met depending on breed, size, age, etc. I have worked and owned dogs from 12lbs to 105lbs so I feel well equipped. If your dog is a breed I am not familiar with I will look into the breed beforehand to better understand the dog. Im used to reactive dogs, and am careful to read their body language at all times.
“Dalyce is professional and dependable and a very good communicator. Most importantly, she has a great disposition for both my anxious shephard and super mellow senior. Felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care.”
“Allison watched our cat and dog with daily visits while we were away. Our dog is a large German Shepard that can be a bit of a challenge to handle, but Allison quickly put him at ease and established trust with our dog. She also took excellent care of our cat, giving him the type of quality attention that he loves. What stood out to me was how Allison kept a watchful eye on everything during her visits. She pointed out an issue with our rather expensive fish tank and notified me. I'm sure we would have lost most of our fish and coral if she had not taken the initiative to help out. In addition to giving us daily updates and photos of our pets she gives you the sense that everything is well taken care of. Allison far exceeds what I was expecting of a good pet sitter. In my opinion, there is absolutely no one better. I highly recommend Allison. You can feel at ease when you are away. She is a superstar!”
About: I had the joy of a Lhasa Apso Miniature Toy Collie for four years, showing my love for both felines and canines. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found a nurturing home with a dear friend for my dog. Now, working from home, I'm eager to bring a pet's companionship back into my life. I offer a clean, safe environment and enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up fresh air during breaks and lunchtime walks around my complex. Creating a pet-friendly atmosphere is important to me, and it would be a pleasure to share my home with a furry friend. I'm gentle and affectionate with animals, and they naturally warm to me. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet and hopefully becoming your next sitter. I'm available for boarding drop-off after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and after 9 a.m. on weekends. Pick-up time is by 5 p.m. on weekdays and by 3 p.m. on weekends, but I'm flexible if needed. I do not currently have any pets. In the near future, upon purchasing a home with acres of land and a secure yard, I plan to welcome a pet into my family.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and now own both as an adult. I have trained my dogs and built trust with them, and I have built a loving relationship with my cats. I trained my puppy when we got him and helped teach our rescue dog manners and trust. My cat trusts me and has learned to come when called, and my new rescue cat already follows me around! I am a part time worker so I have plenty of time on the weekends! I will work with you on my scheduled days to try to make things work for the both of us! I care for my pets with lots of love and respect. My cats get the best food I can afford and lots of pets throught the day. My dogs are walked often and fed morning and night. They enjoy outside time and staying close by.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, having started a "dog walking business" when I was ten years old, pet sitting for just as long, and I've been fostering both cats and dogs with local rescues for several years now. My soft spot is senior pets. Animals make me feel whole. Whether it’s cats, dogs, little critters or reptiles I genuinely love them all. Bonus points my husband is a retired MWD handler and has a dog training business both here and back at home in Texas, so we’ve worked with many dogs with all backgrounds. I stay at home and keep the same daily routine for my pups. My husband is a retired MWD handler we have a dog training business both here and in SATX. My life is pets every day. I want to keep your dog comfortable while you're away. My dogs are free to roam inside when I’m home, they may sleep where they are comfortable. They will not be allowed outside to roam the yard unless I'm also in the backyard with them.
About: I am an animal lover! I have always cared for animals and grew up wanting to be a vet. I have a dog of my own! I am new to the area so I am available everyday! Mornings and afternoons! I am also available to pet sit at your home any day! I will care for the pets in my clients home by following their normal schedule and making sure I do everything the client would like me to do
About: I’ve had many pets my whole life, cats, dogs, and a couple hamsters. I got both of my current dogs when they were puppies and I have trained both of them very well. they are now 2 and 10. I also have a Cat who is 2 and very spoiled. All of my animals have dealt with medical issues so i have experience with many treatments. I also have pet sat since I was a teen for both cats and dogs, and the parents were always very happy when they got home to a joyful pet. I put a lot of love into caring for all animals. I can be there for your fur babies anytime they need me. I have a very open daily and weekly schedule. I can be there for breakfast, mid day care time and dinner. I always make sure my pets are happy and have everything they need. I also always make sure they are safe going outside or when opening doors. I also know how to look for any signs of distress and If they need help with anything.

“Brittany was great with my dog ! My senior lady isn’t the best with strangers but seemed to get along with Brittany. We got lots of pictures and we know our girl was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and love being outside, so long walks and playtime are no problem. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work at a restaurant Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays from 10am–10pm. On my days off I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away I have a fenced one-acre yard where dogs have plenty of space to run and play. I also have sand pits and dog toys for enrichment and exercise. If the owner is comfortable, I love taking dogs on hikes and walks on the rail trail in Londonderry. I used to have a Jack Russell, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and making sure they stay active, safe, and happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derry
My first time using Kelly and I knew she would be a good fit for my two Frenchies. She lives close by in town and is a responsible person. Kelly kept in constant contact with us and promptly replied to messages and requests. We feel very lucky to have come across her and will reach out to her again for future visits.
Taylor should be the poster sitter/walker for Rover! She is an absolute angel and my dog Einstein loves her. She’s incredibly reliable, sweet and my dog immediately warmed up to her. She is incredibly communicative, takes lots of pictures and is just a wonderful person all around! If you need someone to walk your pup or do drop ins, Taylor is your girl!!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Derry choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
