About: I've had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, sugar gliders and right now I currently have a chinchilla. I love all animals, and am always up for helping family/friends with their pets if needed. I'm very laid back and do not mind taking extra time to offer my lap if your fur baby requires extra doting and snuggles. I am currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time during the day at the moment. I'm happy to spend some time playing/hanging out! I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but I'm happy to come to you! I will respect any instructions or boundaries. I'm more than happy to do a meet and greet prior to care to discuss expectations.
“Evan showed up at the meet and greet promptly+ was relaxed + calm for my boy who needed a last minute walk for the following day. He followed my border terrier's routine + gave me communication before, during, and after!”
“Jennifer was very attentive to Leia which is exactly what she needs after moving to a new area. I feel so relieved that I now know someone that, when I have a long work day, can stop in and take care of my pup with a walk and a hug halfway through the day. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals professionally for 10 years, and have had pets my whole life. I have a deep love for animals and have pursued a career in conservation to help protect our wild friends of the woods 🦝 I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and textures, so you can count on me to feed the fish and the lizard while you’re away, too. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, and was a groomer at Petco for a couple of years, so I can also give a pretty good dog bath when they jump into a puddle of mud. Let’s connect and see if we are a good match!! I work part-time in Somersworth and spend my free hours working on my paintings, so I have plenty of extra time to spend loving on your fur babies. I find that animals relax around me when I’m doing my art. My dog loves to lay at my feet and nap while I paint. I offer in-home services including check-ins for being let outside to potty, feeding, and playtime. I usually end up going over the 30 minutes because I feel guilty leaving them haha usually I offer overnight stays as well and can provide walks to most dogs.
About: I've had cats and dogs (and other small furry critters) since I was in HS. I love caring for animals. It has always been a joy to care for my own or others. For this last Thanksgiving we had a Foster puppy here as well as our neighbors dog and it was a lot of fun. Everyone, had fun, even the cats. The more I sit for animals on Rover, the more I love it. ~ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ~ We will review anything you'd like before you leave, and will do our best to accommodate. ~HOUSESITTING The housesitting rate covers you for 24 hours.

About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with many years of hands-on experience. For over 7 years, I regularly helped my neighbor take care of her dogs — including daily walks, feeding, companionship, and sometimes looking after multiple dogs at once. I have also had pets my entire life, including cats, a dog, and small animals like hamsters. This has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and the importance of routine and safety. I am currently available full-time and can provide constant care and attention. I offer flexible scheduling, including half-day stays, daytime care, and in-home boarding in a safe and calm environment I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. In my home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, прогулки (walks), and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and gentle supervision throughout the day. I make sure they are never left alone for long periods. In my client’s home: I respect your home and your pet’s привычную среду (routine). I keep their schedule consistent — feeding, walks, playtime, and rest — so they feel secure and less stressed while you are away. I am reliable, clean, and attentive to details. I always pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and mood to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I provide attentive, loving care to animals while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I understand how important it is to maintain routines and build trust with each animal, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I enjoy early and after work walks, scheduled feedings, and making time each day to give pets the attention they deserve. I am currently a bather and groomer at Petsmart. I care for pets in their home by feeding them at scheduled times, taking dogs on daily walks, cleaning litter boxes or cages, refreshing water bowls, giving medications as directed, and spending quality time playing, grooming, or just keeping them company to ease separation anxiety. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort.
“Autumn was great. She took great care of Ivy and I definitely recommend her as a walker/sitter. She made sure Ivy went to the bathroom and had plenty of water and cooled down after her short walk in the summer heat!”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
