About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about animal care. During my undergraduate studies I was on the pre-veterinary track and volunteered with local animal shelters and veterinary clinics to gain hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra patience. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your dog is safe and happy. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits and specialize in dog care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet visits fit naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks and drop-ins during the week, especially during the daytime hours when many dogs need a break and some attention. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. Having grown up with dogs and volunteered in animal shelters and veterinary clinics while on the pre-vet track, I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. During visits I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, environment, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks, gates and doors are properly closed, and pets are supervised throughout the visit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide updates and photos so owners know their dog is safe and doing well.
About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My care includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on their unique routines and personalities. I’m a college student so I have a lot of free times in my hands. There isn’t anything else I’d rather do than to spend time with your doggies If pets are in my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of supervision, cozy spaces for rest, and opportunities for play and exercise. I always use secure leashes and watch closely on walks to keep pets safe. My goal is to give each pet the right balance of structure, affection, and fun so they feel loved and well cared for.
About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.
“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”

“Natalia is great! You can tell she really cares about animals! She shows interest in our pup and sends lots of pictures when she’s with him! It’s nice to know that he is in very capable and caring hands 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I don’t discriminate based on breed or size—I welcome them all! I have hands-on experience with dogs and can administer medication if needed. I’ll also make sure to stick to your pet’s usual routine, providing them with the care and comfort they’re used to. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 10-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. Our beloved family dog was with us for 14 years before recently passing, so I truly understand how important pets are to a family. I’m home most of the time due to my toddler’s nap schedule, which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We also have a fenced yard, so your pup will have a safe space to play and relax. I’ll walk and feed your dog based on your instructions and do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved. We’re a dog-friendly household with a decent-sized fenced backyard—perfect for play and relaxation. If you’re okay with it, we welcome dogs on the couch and treat them like part of our family while you're away. My kids absolutely love animals, so I kindly ask that your pet be kid-friendly. I do daily short walks around the neighborhood, and I’m happy to offer longer walks or hikes for an additional fee.

About: Hi there! I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a very eager and fun animal professional who enjoys spending time with cats and dogs in both my work and personal life. I graduated with my BS in animal science and now work from home full time. I have owned pets my entire life and seen many of my pets from birth through their life cycle. I love interacting with pets of all sizes, and ages! I am extremely patient and do not at all mind the demanding nature of younger puppies. Additionally, I love being outdoors and there’s no better way to enjoy the day than with a furry friend. Never fret cat parents- there’s no discrimination here! I love cats equally as much! Cats and kittens alike offer so much in the way of affection and companionship. Feline playtime is essential and I am more than capable of keeping all of your kitties happy and entertained! Unfortunately my pups aren’t so fond so I’m limited to drop ins. My current schedule allows me to be available full time to schedule visits and walks. I have a lot of free time and would love to fill it with pet love! I love to play with pets in their preferred style! Getting down with some toys and treats is always on the agenda. Walks, jogs and good snuggles are never denied!
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs: • Gator, my grandma’s goofy orange lab, who loved carrying giant rocks and playing in the water. • A shar-pei with big “Stanley-from-The-Office” energy, who needed daily walks and, later in life, extra care with meals and medication. • My parents’ pitbull, who I raised from the puppy stage and helped train—my most challenging and rewarding experience! These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs (and I think they can tell!). I am currently doing freelance work and studying from home which means If there is WiFi, I am more than happy to stay at a place to be attentive with the pet and also keep them company. When I care for a pet I make sure they feel safe with me in their home, I let them warm up to me and I make sure they know that I am a friend by giving them their favorite treat. I prefer to meet pet before hand. If it’s a dog I avoid other dogs on walks and even if encouraged or recommended, I do not take them to the dog park. When in my care I want them to be safe and I know that can get tricky with other pups so I avoid it all around.
“Nia is extremely reliable, easy to work with, and always keeps in touch. She takes great care of my dog and has accommodated multiple schedule changes with no problem . Thank you, Nia!”

“Crystal took time for a meet and greet with short notice and she was great with Teo!! She took him out twice and fed him (even though it was rainy), with detailed reports and great communication :)”

About: I have always been around animals. I have taken care of friends dogs in the past and have 5 of my own between 9-15 yrs old with varying needs. I am a full time employee at a doggy daycare. My availability will include M-TH after 3:30 pm, all day Fri and Sun, and Sat after 3pm. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own babies. I will follow every instruction as best as possible and put your pets healthy and safety first.
“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”

“Emerson is a very Good communicator & very punctual. My dog Raider took to him on the first visit. He's very friendly and has a beautiful smile. You can't go wrong with Emerson.👍👍👍”
Fitchburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ananda was wonderful with our pups. We have a very shy skittish girl who warmed up to Ananda immediately. Our wild boy also adored her and couldn't wait to see her arrive for walks. Quiet and calm,Ananda was timely, communicated about the pups walks and great with our dogs. I highly recommend her.

Yonte took incredibly good care of my dog over an extended period of time and I am very grateful for her support. My dog has some behavioral reactivity and Yonte was willing to put in the time to get to know how best to care for her. She then took care of my dog for several months, going above and beyond to meet her needs for exercise and love. I would trust Yonte with all pet sitting, from short walks to extended stays. She definitely has an intuitive sense with pets and is very loving with them. She is also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Yonte highly enough for the extraordinary care and love she puts into pet sitting! Thank you, Yonte!

“My pup has officially found their new best friend! 🐾 Our dog walker goes above and beyond—whether it’s extra belly rubs, little updates with photos, or making sure my fur baby comes home happy and tired. I think my dog might like walks with them more than me (but I’ll try not to be jealous 😅). Couldn’t ask for a more caring, reliable, and tail-wag–approved walker
