House Sitting Hardwick

“Emma took great care of our two pups for a week and left our home nice and tidy. One of my dogs required a weekly shot, so it was nice she had prior experience and could administer it herself. I appreciated that she reached out with questions, it showed she wanted to give the best care and meet the needs of our dogs.”

About: Hi! my name is April, I am new to Rover, as you can probably see. In my bio I am going to be as honest and sincere in this explanation of who I am and why you should choose me to care for your pet(s). I recently moved to North Brookfield and in doing so lost contact with a 9yr. old rescued Rottweiler who I loved and cared for. I would walk her, give her medication and feed her of course. I miss her presence. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the excess of free time that I have. This job opportunity seems like it will be the perfect fit. I have had many years of experience living with and caring for multiple breeds of dogs, including Rottweiler, Pitbull, Great Dane and numerous other breeds. I am an energetic woman who thrives on outdoor activities, I love exploring nearby parks, or strolling through neighborhoods I haven’t yet explored. My experience extends beyond dogs; I’ve also shared my home with cats, and I even had a wonderful rabbit who enjoyed our walks together. I recently completed a Red Cross certification in cat and dog, first aid, which enhances my ability to provide safe and responsible care for your pets. My deep fondness and connection with animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet that I take care of receives the attention and exercise they deserve. If you are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic pet walker, who will treat your beloved animal like a best friend, I would love to connect! I am currently studying for a new profession. My studies work around my schedule so caring for your pet, whenever you need me to is not an issue. I unfortunately cannot bring pets to my residence as I am renting a house right now. If you become my client, I will treat your home and your property with the utmost respect. I also have a vehicle large enough to accommodate most dogs and would be thrilled to take them to parks if that’s what works for all of us.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“Kaylie did a great job caring for my pets while I was away. I would certainly hire her again.”

“Meaghon was wonderful to work with! Incredibly responsive and my brood loved spending the weekend with her. We were very fortunate to have found her and can’t wait to book future trips knowing our babies will be in the best of hands!”

“I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾”

“Kayla is awesome! She went the extra mile to make sure our pets were well taken cared for and felt comfortable, also given us the peace of mind on a persistent basis while we were away on trip, regarding our 5 fur babies. Kayla is very organized, reliable and flexible to the pets needs and schedule. I would highly recommend!”

“Lilly took great care of our pets and our home during our vacation. There was a blizzard that came through the area while she was sitting with us, she kept us informed and comforted that she was on top of things. We were concerned that she might have difficulties if we lost power, etc. but she was very assuring that she had everything under control. She even shoveled our front steps before we got home! Anakin and Lily obviously liked her, they were content and happy when we returned. We will definitely want to have her again if need be. Thank you Lilly!”

Cherie B.

“Amber was great! She cared for a special-needs elderly cat and a senior dog very well. The house was clean and tidy when I returned. Recommended!”

My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their furry, feathered, or scaled companions are in capable and caring hands. I’m currently working full time at a horse facility, however I am free on Tuesdays and Thursday’s as well as most mornings and any time after 5 pm As a pet sitter, safety and environmental care are my top priorities. I create a secure and comfortable environment for your pets, ensuring they are free from hazards and have access to clean and comfortable spaces. I follow all safety protocols, including proper leash handling, secure enclosures, and careful monitoring of interactions with other animals. Additionally, I am committed to maintaining a clean and sanitary environment, regularly cleaning and disinfecting feeding areas, litter boxes, and other spaces. I also take precautions to protect your home, following your instructions for security and respecting your property. You can trust that your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in a clean and secure environment under my supervision.

“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”

About: I have grown up with all sorts of pets. I worked at a clinic for a little while learning all sorts of wonderful things about our pets! I dog sit for a few friends now and I am fully comfortable with any and all breeds, I know how to crate dogs, and I am willing and able to walk them as long as they are used to :) I currently work a full-time job (Monday-Friday) but am off by 4pm! I am available any time on weekends as well. I would love to pet sit on my free time! I also did a year of college for animal health and behavior so I am willing to work with all types of pets! :) I did an internship at a local animal shelter, and became aware of body languages, mechanisms, and personalities of many animals! I would love to get to know the people and pets around my neighborhood! :)

About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

About: I've always been a pet love and taken good care of them. Be it specialized food for allergies, meds, teeth brushing, brushing their coat and of course play time and exercise. I am semi retired with a flexible schedule. Weekdays and evenings are best. If you want someone who is reliable, conscientious and caring, I would be a good fit. Because I have a small place and no yard available, ( and due to HOA rules), I would need to provide care in your home.

“Bethany took great care of Bailey while I was on vacation in Florida visiting my family! I highly recommend her for overnights as well as anything else required. She is very knowledgeable and caring.”

“Kendra was wonderful with Zannah. She was very patient with allowing her to feel comfortable to come to her when she was ready. My dog is quite timid and anxious with someone new caring for her. Kendra is also a strong supporter of raw feeding which was very reassuring as this is how my dog is fed. She is also well versed in dog behavior and body language and Zannah was VERY comfortable next to her. Thank you Kendra, I’ll be rebooking with her very soon.”

About: Hi there!😊 My name is Sarah and I currently reside in Rutland MA. I am very excited and looking forward to meeting your pets, and sharing this experience with them! My personal experience in caring for dogs has been pet sitting/walking for family, friends, and coworkers. I have also worked in doggy daycare, and so I am very comfortable with many different types, sizes and breeds of dogs. I understand every dog is different, and unique in there own ways. So my priority is making sure your pets needs are met, with the attention, care and love they deserve! I currently work part-time, so my availability is: Monday–Thursday: 8 AM–12 PM and 3 PM–8:30 PM Friday–Saturday: Available for drop-in visits and overnight stays My schedule can vary depending on existing bookings and plans, so feel free to message me with the dates and times you need. Even if your requested time isn't within my listed availability, go ahead and reach out—I may still be able to make something work! Your pets’ comfort and safety are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions and am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and comfort. I respect your home and privacy, keeping it tidy and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide responsible, loving care for your pets during drop-in visits or house sitting.

About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.

“She was amazing with our dog Stella! Took such great care of her and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. Stella got to go on rides and even a hike, which she absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing she was in great hands. We’d definitely book again!”

“I couldn't be happier with Brittany! I felt extremely comfortable leaving my 3 puppies in her care. She was very caring, patient and my dogs loved being there with her.”
