About: I have taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. My first cat had diabetes the last 5 years of his life. I helped give him injections twice a day and even checked his blood sugar using my own glucometer. I currently have a cat now who is my companion. I also love dogs and have spent a lot of time growing up surrounded by friends and families dogs. I work Monday-Friday 8-430. I am free on weekends. I am flexible with times during the weekend. I may also be able to make visits on Monday and Tuesday nights with some notice. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment and my cat is an indoor cat. She sleeps with me every single night and cuddles with me on the couch.
About: My love for dogs started at the age of 7. Ever since then, I'm always looking for dogs from neighbors, friends, family, parents co-workers etc..., to do drop-in visits, dog walks, and to play with them and nurture them in general! I also picked up a great handful of tricks on how to train and make a puppy obientant from the classes I took my puppy to for training. When I got my second pup, I've used the knowledge that I learned when I took my first puppy to training and it worked out fantastically! I'm currently an online student and flexible, so I would love to nurture your pets and to play with them! I'm available on weekends and weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walking, and if the service you were looking for isn’t listed, message me and guarantee I will best accommodate to it:) I have a fenced backyard and a great amount of space for your fur babies to play in. Along with toys they can engage in and have fun with and blankets for naps, so they never get bored and are always happy and entertained:) I also make sure to take them on their daily walks to keep them in shape and healthy.
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our 11 yr old PORTY! Oreo loved meeting her and they hit it off immediately. I reached out to Heather for a drop in a few days prior and she was accommodating and was great about sharing messages and photos on her visit-Oreo loved her walk and we will certainly use her again!”
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, when I got my first cat. My parents wanted to teach me the responsibility that comes with having a pet, and from that moment on I developed a lifelong love for animals. As I got older, I began helping neighbors by walking their dogs, refreshing food and water, and providing companionship throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for multiple pets in a household, providing drop-in visits, and offering overnight care when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession and a central part of my daily routine. For the past two years, I have worked in the pet care industry full-time, which allows me to dedicate my schedule to meeting the needs of the pets and families I serve. My days are structured around walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medication administration, playtime, and providing companionship and care. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I provide supervised leash walks and leashed outdoor time so pets can safely enjoy fresh air, exercise, and enrichment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also share my home with my two cats, who are truly my pride and joy. They are incredibly sweet, friendly, and well-loved members of my family. Because their safety and comfort are important to me, I’m selective about welcoming other animals into my home. This means my availability for boarding is limited and depends on whether a pet is a good fit for my household. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m happy to use crates if requested and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, whether that means feeding times, medications, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, you can expect dependable communication, consistency, and compassionate care. I treat every pet like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience for both pets and their families.
“Katie was wonderful to work with and she took great care of my large golden, Andre, on the thanksgiving holiday. I was happy to see photos and updates while we were away. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sarah was great! Good communication and consistent. She sent pics of my kitty that would come out to play and found a way to make sure my other kitty who is a pro-hider got her food as well. Would definitely hire Sarah again.”
About: My name is Alyssa and it would be my pleasure to take care of your animal! I’m an experienced pet sitter. I have dogs and a cat of my own so believe that your animal is in the best care. Whatever needs your animals has I can take care of. I am serious when it comes to doing anything with making sure animals are safe and happy. I can give medication, meet your pets needs, and go the extra mile for the best care for your animal. I am currently a student and looking for a part time job, so as of now I am available through out the weekday to help check in on your pet while you’re at work, on vacation, or simply out for the day! I can do special request if needed on weekends. I do not offer boarding at my personal home, but am happy to drive to your home instead! I like to follow the instructions given to me to ensure your fur baby is the most comfortable.
About: Hi I’m Talia! I’ve cared for pets of friends/family for years. I’ll make sure to take care of your furry friend like they’re my own! As an elementary school teacher, I’m available after school (around 3 pm) and on weekends (morning and night) to watch and take of your furry friends! I will make sure to play with your pet, clean up after them, keep them safe, and if requested and possible take them on a walk!
“Emily was so wonderful with taking care of our cat and dog! She provided great updates with lots of details and photos, and we could relax on our trip knowing our pets were getting lots of attention and love. 😊”
“We were so glad to have Ria do a check in for our two dogs! She took special care with our senior dog and also spent time playing fetch with our Boston. I could tell from the many pictures she shared that they were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry family!”
“We had an amazing experience with Indigo! From the very beginning they were professional, responsive and genuinely caring. We received detailed updates and tons of pictures after each visit. Most importantly, Miles had a wonderful experience :) We will definitely be booking with Indigo again and can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”
“Lucille is everything you would want for pet care. She’s thorough, experienced & reliable. Even when I feel like I’m being over the top she will think of something I’m not! She’s so good with animals, your pet will sense her genuine affection & feel safe & loved. They are in good hands until your back.”
About: I have never had my own dog, but my family had/has a pitiful who is 12 years old and she made me fall in love with dogs. I was responsible for watching her and my parents two cats while they were on vacations or away. I would even be able to just stop by to take them out and feed them. I have a good sense of different needs for different dog/cat breeds and knowledge of nutrition needs as well. I’m very vigilant and I love to walk so I’m hoping to meet some dogs who love walking just as much. I also love to bathe and brush animals to get them all prettied up. I’m hoping this will be a good stepping stone to furthering my experience. I also have three of my own cats, Wamu, Chamkila and Eado who I love very much and are very spoiled. For me this would help me with getting out of the house, exercising and learning more about different dogs/cats along the way. It’ll help me towards me goals for working with animals. My schedule is pretty open. I am very vigilant with animals they can be hyper and excitable, I may high attention to detail and make sure to always check over pets for ticks and any other issues after walking. I usually carry pumpkin dog treats, freeze dried and easy on most stomachs. Im familiar with dogs who pull and know how to handle them and not get dragged.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always lived with them. I am always asked to take care of friends and families’ pets, even for extensive periods of time. I am a favorite to all dogs I meet, and I take care of them as they are all my own. I have experience bathing, giving medicine, old dogs, and puppies. I get up in the morning before work and then leave at 8. I am home by 5, and take care of the evening schedule. Some days I work remotely. Have a lot of space to walk dogs and a fenced in area to run and play with high energy dogs. They do not have access directly to outside so they cannot run out. Our doors are always locked, so they can only be taken out by me with their leash on.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunstable
Alexa went above and beyond with our old girl. She is also the first sitter our dog has not barked at through every single visit. She was apparently comfortable enough to eat while we away! She gave Belle a lot of extra attention so our senior girl would not feel abandoned while we were on vacation. There were a lot of incredible pictures and even some cute videos. We will be highly recommending Alexa and if we go away again, she’s now her first choice. We really appreciate her taking time on this holiday weekend to take care of our girl.

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 Dunstable 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.

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 Dunstable with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
