About: I have been around dogs all of my life and I have grown up with Boxers. When I was in high school I would watch dogs in my town very frequently, from staying overnight to just walking and letting them out during the day. I currently work full time in Portsmouth. I work in the office M-F but I can make arrangements if your pet needs to be let out during the day. I am respectful and courteous of my clients homes. I clean up after myself and I always keep my clients updated during my stay by providing pictures and reaching out if needed.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. 🐾 I lived on a farm for many years, where I cared for a variety of animals and learned how important patience, responsibility, and attentive care are. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, including senior dogs, small breeds like Chihuahuas, and larger breeds like Pitbulls and German Shepherds. I’ve also cared for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve even house-sat for a German Shepherd who required medication, so I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra exercise, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help! I treat every animal like they’re my own and would be happy to give your pets lots of love, patience, and attention. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m available for walks Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 11 AM–3 PM. I love using this time to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals. I’m reliable, flexible within my availability, and happy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! 🐶💕 When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾 I’ll follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. My goal is for your pet to feel happy and cared for while you’re away, just like they would with you! 🐶🐱❤️
“Jennifer did great with Milah, even though Milah was very nervous, so nervous milah didn't want to go outside to pee. Jennifer got her to eat her dinner and stayed with her using treats to get Milah outside. Glad we found someone that stuck with it even though our pup was not being a team player.”

“Emerson was great! She showed up on time, and followed instructions to a tea. And had zero problems with my 6 month old Malinois, and other large dog! Even in the pouring rain. Would recommend her for any of your pets needs :)”


“Brynn showed up on schedule and took our big dog Cassie for a walk and then had play time. Cassie seemed very happy in the photos and when we got home. Brynn even cleaned up some vomit on the floor. Will use her again!”

“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”


About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.
“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”

About: I have over 15+ years in animal care! I previously co-managed a small doggy daycare before I recently moved to NH. I would love to be your pet's next friend, no matter how big or small! 😄 I currently have a mostly open schedule. I just moved to NH a few months ago, and after getting settled in, I am now looking to work with animals again! I have had pets of all kinds my whole life. I have seen and been through it all, from doggy messes to cat escape attempts! I try my best to create a safe space and relationship with all pets, and make them feel as comfortable as possible, so that you can too!

About: Hi! My name is Angie, and caring for animals has always been a lifelong passion. I previously worked as a Manager at Paw Tuckaway Pet in Raymond, NH. Currently, I am pursuing my Associate's Degree in Veterinary Technology while working locally as a Veterinary Assistant, allowing me to expand my knowledge and provide exceptional care to every pet I meet! With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable handling pets of all kinds. I have a special interest in exotic pets and since 2020, I've specialized in nail trims for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and reptiles. When I'm not caring for pets, you'll usually find me curled up in a book. In my spare time I also enjoy exploring the outdoors, capturing nature through photography, and spending time with my sun conure, Maui. If you are looking for someone who treats every pet like family, I may be the right pet sitter for you! I am available before and after work as well as midday on days off. A typical drop-in visit is around 30 minutes and includes feeding, walking, potty, and anything else your pet may need. Every pet and their family is different, which is why no visit looks the same. I am flexible and willing to provide whatever you and your family may need while you are away, including getting mail, putting trash out, opening/closing blinds, switching lights, etc. I am also a huge fan of sending updates after each visit along with photos of your pet!

About: I have always had a strong love for animals and a passion for caring for them. I currently work as a technician at an animal hospital, where I assist with animal care, treatments, and supporting veterinarians. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in handling animals with compassion and patience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. Currently I am in college but find parts of my day where I am needing something to do to keep myself busy and productive! I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of affection and attention.
“Amanda was so great for drop-ins with our senior dog when we had to travel! We got thorough updates and progress reports and the cutest pictures. She kept up with her medications and routine. After our first meet and greet I knew she'd be great with our dog and she definitely was!”
“Jasmine was great and took amazing care of my dog Teddy. Thank you so much and I would love to have you watch him again! Jasmine sent lots of photos, and her response time was perfect. Thank you!”

About: Growing up with a vet tech mom, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had a strong passion for animal care, especially dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, from extra large to small, as well as reactive dogs and working line breeds. I started pet sitting for family friends at a young age, which gave me experience caring for animals and understanding how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’ve also spent years training and working with my own dogs. At 11 years old, I completed my first Canine Good Citizen course and test with my dog, Ludo, and was the youngest person in New Hampshire to complete it that year. Today, I own and care for my 5 year old German Shepherd, Xena, who I’ve trained and worked with closely for years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to accommodate different schedules and care instructions from owners. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had a lot of hands on experience with all different kinds. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I’ll always treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child and absolutely love animals. Very comfortable with any and all personalities and am a very active person, so any and all walk schedules are no problem. My girlfriend has also worked at an animal hospital for 5+ years and is often available to assist for sitting and anything that may come up! I am currently available seven days a week to care for your pets. My work schedule allows me to work from home so I am available to be with them 24/7. I am very well versed in nearly all breeds and can fit my care into whatever needs your pet requires. I am an active person and happy to take them out for walks or mini adventures or stay at home and relax and play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Abigail was wonderful and Luna was so happy to see her! This was our first time leaving town and having someone other than friends and family. She was professional and kept us informed with lots of pictures. It was comforting to know Luna loved her and she was so reliable.

Maria was wonderful! This is our first time using Rover and leaving our dog Luna with someone other than friends and family. Luna was well taken care of and was so happy to see her each time she came. She even watered my flowers that were wilting on the table!

Jennifer did great with Milah, even though Milah was very nervous, so nervous milah didn't want to go outside to pee. Jennifer got her to eat her dinner and stayed with her using treats to get Milah outside. Glad we found someone that stuck with it even though our pup was not being a team player.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Dover 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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
