About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

Kate is wonderful! My dog Charlie was being shy and reluctant to go on a walk but Kate stayed and played with her to keep her company for the duration of the visit!

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.

About: I am a dedicated, attentive dog mom to my boy, Dobby, who is 10 years old. I adopted him when he was 8 weeks old and spent many hours training him to be the incredible dog he has always been. I have been a dog sitter on an overnight-basis for about 20 years now and have even more experience with care on a daily or drop-in basis for feeding, walking, playing or simply just some love and attention. I believe my love and compassion for not only my own dog but all dogs translates well into the meticulous care I provide. I have a proven track record of forming bonds with dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds and I look forward to becoming buddies with yours! I work from home on a freelance/contract basis so pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible as a graphic designer and web developer so I will easily be able to fit your pet into my schedule. Safety and comfort of the dog are my top concerns and I take them very seriously. To address these needs, I go over what your dog is used to when you are home (i.e. set feed times, set walking route, specific leash requirements, schedule, etc.) and what your typical protocols are then adhere to what your dog is used to as strictly as possible. I believe a safe and comfortable dog is a happy dog and it is my job to ensure that through providing as much familiarity as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Leah! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember, and I bring that same lifelong love and care into every visit, walk, or cuddle session. Whether it’s a long walk, playful games, feeding, or medication, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they do with you.

I’ve dedicated my schedule entirely to caring for animals, which means your pets get my full attention, flexibility, and consistency every time. Experience: I've been immersed in the world of pet care since I was young, starting at the tender age of 5 when my cat Spooky had a litter of kittens. Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of caring for pets at every stage, fostering a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors.

Steph took great care of my two Shibas - meds, walk, water, food, pets. My two dogs aren't the easiest to walk (they aren't great on a leash and one is hesitant around new people). Steph took the time required to treat them as if they were her own. *This was my first time to use Rover. Would definitely recommend Steph!

About: Since I was a young girl I was always the family remember in charge of making sure our pets were fed, entertained, trained and given exercise. Around the age of 10 was my first time watching over our neighbors new puppy as they went on vacation. At the time I was nervous but my energetic energy matched the puppy perfectly. Currently i’m renting an apartment at my college UNH with my cat and a roommate. My neighbors who have pets continuously asked me to watch them because of how much time and energy I put into carrying for them. Sometimes I only watch them for the day when work or school takes over and other for extended periods of time. If this becomes the case I make sure to walk and entertained the pet so that they don’t feel lonely. Cat sitting in house is my most common form of cat sitting. Cats and dogs have very different needs from a sitter that I can provide with my years of experience working and owning my own pets I’m currently on summer break until August so my availability to spend time with your fur babies is very open. Keeping in mind that it is still my break there will be times in which I wish to fully experience my summer :) If there is a fenced in yard or not, I still plan to take pups on daily leash walks to ensure safety of the both of us. Ultimately whatever the client feels most comfortable and confident with I will ensure to use those methods. This can include crate use, specific walk routes, specific animal preferences and more.

Sarah has been walking Jenny weekly for a month or so now in the middle of the day. She has been lovely, and taken Jenny on adventures around town. Sarah has also been flexible when my schedule has changed which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking again!

Jennifer was wonderful with Sunny, and it was clear right away that she has a lot of experience with dogs. He felt comfortable with her immediately. She was kind, reliable, and very responsive when our schedule changed twice. I appreciated the updates she shared about his walks, and I feel confident trusting Jennifer again for walks or overnight stays.
