“Tara-Lynn did a great job with my cat including paying attention to his health and cleaning up hairballs”

About: As a child I was always drawn to animals and their pure spirits. I have extensive experience with pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, mice) and foster rabbits with a local rabbit rescue in my home. I have 10+ years of experience with small dogs and mid-sized dogs with a specialization in the needs of brachycephalic breeds like shih tzu's, bulldogs, Frenchies and more. I am versed in first aid for small animals and dogs. Can't forget the kitties! I have yet to meet a kitty I didn't love. I strongly feel like they need love too and look forward to caring for them in your home where the majority of them are the most comfortable. I am a stay at home/work from home mom who is looking forward to instilling a love of animals for my son as he gets older. My days typically look calm and chill as I spend a lot of them in my workshop or outside enjoying the nice weather with my animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I tend to my rabbits, rabbit fosters, guinea pig and two dogs of my own, Selune and Rosie. I look forward to going to where your pet feels most comfortable and establishing a calm and comforting presence for them. As someone who understands how important it is to keep pets from becoming stressed during owner vacations, I pride myself on the ability to go to meet your animals on their own turf and level in order to create the least amount of stress possible. I am happy to take walks off your plate if you are busy at work and ensure your pet is getting the level of attention and love you would provide yourself if you could during a busy work day. I am trustworthy and neat in terms of house sitting, stick to designated areas you allow me to inhabit during the stay, and ensure your pet and your home is safe and secure while you're away.

“Mark M. is now a member of our extended family! I would hire him to take care of my kids! Mark came for a meet and greet with Buddy (the dog) and Dewey (the cat) before we left. We provided written instructions for Mark indicating where the food was and including the feeding schedule. Mark took it from there, visit thrice daily for feeding and fun. On some days, he brought his pal, Suki, much to Buddy's delight as they romped together in the meadow. Mark sent photos and status reports at each visit to make sure we didn't worry or miss our pals too much. We are so glad we found Mark and so grateful to Rover.com for helping us find him!”

“Rachel took the best care of my 16.5 year old cat, Zoe. My cat now needs daily medication and it was the first time I left town since she started the meds and Rachel made me feel so comfortable knowing that Zoe was in great hands! And to my delighted surprise, Rachel even hung out with Zoe and let her go out to sunbathe in her favorite sunny spot ouside. Zoe appreciated that so much! I 100000000% recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of 10. Ive worked at a dog daycare in Salem nh a couple years ago. I would love to give the highest quality care to your pup, kitty or any other type of pet you might have. I believe it's also very important to make a connection with not only the animal but the owner themselves.Highly trusted by neighbors, friends and family to take care of their fur baby. I work part time and have a few off days for some puppy loving kitty loving. And I personally have 3 cats and a pup. If you have a good size yard I would take the pup out back or front and just stimulate them physically and mentally. If not we will take a nice long walk I'm the neighborhood possibly bring them the park or a trail to run on if allowed.And I could crate if necessary. I never take my eyes of the fur babies cause some like to get into things.

“Mollie was dependable and always quick to respond. I was sent pictures of the animals which set my mind at ease knowing they were well taken care of. Highly recommend”

About: I have over 10 years of experience in animal husbandry and veterinary care. I cared for a multitude of animals, including cats, dogs, and other exotic pets. Whether it is daily exercise, extra snuggles, or an extra zen environment, I have the experience for your furbabies. I can administer daily medications, follow complex diets, and look critically at the animals in my care to determine if veterinary assistance is needed. Pictures of your pet can be provided upon request (I usually send one even if it isn't requested but if you want more, I will provide. :) Petcare is my life 24/7. Walks, playtime, and pleasant company are the three biggest parts of daily routine. For cats, making sure they have adequate creature comforts and, if the cat enjoys the attention, plenty of interaction with yours truly. I try to maintain your pets stability by sticking to your routine and habits to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. We will follow your schedule so they know what to expect throughout our interaction.

About: I been surrounded by dogs all my life and feel a special connection to each one I meet. I have experience with dogs of all ages (puppies through senior) and enjoy helping them be happy and healthy. Getting to know your pets and their personalities is my favorite part of caring for them. Whether it's walking, playing, or just hanging out, I cannot wait to meet your furry friend. I am a full-time teacher, so I have the flexibility to work in the summer. This means that, for the most part, my schedule is open and I can work around your pet's routines. I am happy to discuss your particular needs. As someone who values their personal space, I understand it can be difficult to let a stranger into your home, especially when they will be interacting with your beloved pet. I will treat your home, and pets, with the utmost respect at all times. We can work out a system that you are comfortable with that allows me to give your pets the best possible care, while maintaining your comfort.

“Meghan was great! The last time we hired a walker, one of our pups didn’t walk. He wouldn’t leave the house and we had to call in a favor from family. We asked Meghan to meet the dogs and cat before her first walk, and we found her to be calm, polite, and very pleasant around the dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. While we were gone, she walked the dogs twice a day, including the one who was socially anxious. Our house looked great when we got home and the animals were in very good spirits. We will definitely use Meghan again!”

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16! My family has 2 dogs so I know how much your pet means to you. :) My schedule varies slightly from week to week due to school, so I make sure to update my calendar once a week to ensure that I am available. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My family has 2 dogs, so I know how much love you can have for a pet. They are like your children. Based off of personal experience, I know it can be nerve wracking trusting someone new with your fur baby, but I promise to provide the best care!

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Lillian was very responsive and reliable. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future if needed.”

“Victoria is very helpful and responsible. She kept me updated on any issue she saw with my dog during the visit and ensure that my dog has fresh water.”
