About: I have grown up and taken care of dog my entire life! I love playing with animals and making sure they are getting the love and attention they deserve!

About: I’m a registered nurse, Wife, Mom to 2 boys and a Beagle! 🤪 so I can basically handle it 💜 with a special touch of Love & Care. I’ve always loved dogs, growing up my dad raised all breeds of dogs (Havanese, Pitbull, Cocker spaniel..) caring for them throughout the years has taught me so much ! Thankfully as an RN, I have a flexible work schedule. Making it easy to add something I have always wanted to do in my spare time, DOGWALK! Please note my family is very dog friendly, but it will be just me walking and caring for pups 💛 We have Freddy our Beagle who is 2years Old and FULL OF ENERGY!! 🐶 He has taught me soo much, especially how some dogs get distracted so quickly. With me as a dogwalker, Safety is Always First!
“Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!”
“Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! Our two girls were obviously well taken care of and loved! Previously when we would leave them we'd get a bit of the cold shoulder when we got home because they were mad at us for leaving, but not this time so obviously they really enjoyed spending time with Katie and her fiance. We got pictures every day, she was easy to communicate with and very reliable. We'll definitely ask Katie to come back again next time we're out of town!”
“Jonny did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for a few days! There were no issues while we were gone and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!”
“Amanda was amazing with our pup! This was our first time leaving Bandit home overnight, so I was somewhat nervous. Amanda sent me pictures and videos of each visit. She has such a sweet and gentle demeanor. We would love to use her services again and would 100% recommend. Thank you, Amanda, for taking such good care of him!”
“Cheryl was lifesaver by helping me with a last minute drop in for my two (very large) pups! She gave detailed updates, was sensitive to each dogs needs, and was very friendly. She even stopped by before the first job to introduce herself and meet the pups in person. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for my drop in / walking needs.”
“Yifei is an incredible sitter! She is proactive, attentive, and present with Mr. Scout. She leaves plenty of pictures and videos making me feel comfortable knowing Mr. Scout is getting the best care and attention during my time away. I would absolutely recommend Yifei and will be looking to book with her in the future.”
“Victoria has been a pleasure to work with so far! I have a dog that wasn’t socialized as a puppy and as a result has high anxiety when he meets new people. Victoria has been very patient with me and my dog while we slowly get them introduced. I’ve never been able to hire a dog walker before because of his anxiety, but I have faith she’s going to be amazing with him! Definitely recommend Victoria!”
About: Since 2017, I’ve been providing dependable and consistent care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Each walk is tailored to each dog’s personality, temperament and physical condition, from puppies to senior dogs. I walk one household at a time, which helps reduce stress and keeps the experience calm and focused on your pet. Dogs are family and my goal is to keep them comfortable and happy so that every pet owner has peace of mind when their pet is in my care. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.

Katie did an absolutely amazing job with our three kitties for a seven day trip. She sent us regular updates and followed all of the information we gave her! No issues when we returned home, and we would absolutely book her again when we take a trip out of town!
Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!
Tina was incredible. Our mini schnauzer is high wired and 12! But he was so happy and excited when we arrived home this evening after two days and three visits from Tina! Thank you so very much we will use you again and again and I advise all to do the same such a town at ease with all pictures and texts nonstop of our dog and Tina. Appreciative beyond.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Essex Fells on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 27,062 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Essex Fells. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Essex Fells 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Essex Fells. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
