About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.

About: I've always had a way with animals. I grew up around large dogs as a child and spent most of my adult life around smaller pups. I also have a 6 year old doodle named Lucy & a 4 year old doodle named Chloe. I like to ensure your pup is okay being left home alone as I am a teacher and work during school hours. If your dog is a chewer or gets into things, I do require that they are crate trained. I can provide a crate for dogs under 35lbs but if your dog is larger, I require you to provide one. But, don’t worry! Your pup will be allowed to have free reign of the house while I am home. Having a dog myself, I would provide walks & potty breaks on the same schedule as my personal pups I have a nice-sized, fully fenced in backyard with a special locking system on the gate to ensure safety. I have a two super friendly doodles that would absolutely love the company of some friends.

Anna did a great job taking care of my cats for a week. She posted a lot of really cute pictures when she was playing with them and feeding them, it made me feel a lot better about how they were doing. Also, the cats seemed to like Anna so much that when we got home they didn't seem starved for attention :) We will use her again.

About: I’ve always taken a special interest in animal care. I have over 20 years experience taking care of various types of pets ranging from rats to large dogs. I have worked as the lead canine educator for Petsmart as well as a sitter for friends and family. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I love being able to give pet parents the peace of mind knowing that their pet is safe and getting the care they need with me. I am only self employed otherwise and I enjoy working schedules that allow me flexibility to have a good work/life balance. I am able to schedule pet care around my other responsibilities. I have indoor cats. I advocate for all cats to be indoor. I do not plan on watching pets in my own home. I would prefer clients have a fence but I’m comfortable with pets on a leash.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.

About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

Kayla took such good care of my cats while I was away for the weekend! She was patient and calm with my boys and allowed them room and time to get comfortable with her, and once they were she made sure to give them plenty of pets and playtime during her visits. I so appreciate her care and attention to detail!

About: sitter who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. As a dog owner myself to my pup Easton (“Chicken” 🐾), I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, personalities, and routines, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of updates/photos while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I always try to be flexible and communicative! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals! I work full-time during the school year as an elementary school teacher, so my availability is best during afternoons, evenings, weekends, school vacations, and summer breaks. I always make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable and cared for while their families are away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety, routine, and trust are when caring for pets. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and loved while in my care. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and each dog’s individual personality and comfort level. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away!

Abigail B. was very reliable, efficient and caring. She truly enjoyed being with our cat and dog at our home. Our dog has special senior dog needs and she was very attentive to him. We would call Abigail again and again for our pet vacation coverage. She was an excellent communicator and we did not worry about our pets because they were in such good hands.

Our four-month-old Golden retriever puppy was SO excited to see Sarah again! He got the puppy zoomies. She really understands puppies, and is patient, loving, and playful - and good at avoiding his land-shark puppy teeth! We - and our puppy - will look forward to seeing Sarah again.
