About: Hi! My name is Abigail Violet, and I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by pets. I currently have a sweet two year old cocker spaniel who lights up my life! With 4 years of hands on experience, I’d love to get to know your pet. I’m currently working part time in the mornings as I work towards my future career. Pets have always been my passion and a source of joy in my life. So I’m excited to spend my mornings caring for your fur babies! I have previous experience with dogs small and large. While I currently only offer dog walking and drop ins, I look forward to learning your pets daily routine and needs.
“Jessica was very accommodating. She was willing to come early, to get my pups out for their morning walk when I was out of town. She was great at communicating and giving updates and pictures. Highly recommend her services. She has alot of experience and I will definitely use her again.”

About: As a passionate animal advocate, I've had the privilege of serving as the Foster Care Coordinator at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society for 1 year, while also volunteering with shelters throughout my adult life. Additionally, I'm a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, and my life's journey has been enriched by sharing it with diverse animals, from beloved domestic pets like dogs and cats, to hospice and senior animals. I'm committed to providing your cherished pets with the same love, care, and compassion that I've devoted to my own. I am thrilled to be available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. If you have a special request for different hours, I invite you to share your needs and I will eagerly discuss and arrange a solution that works for you. I will nurture your fur babies with the same love and devotion I would shower upon my own precious little ones. With my extensive shelter experience, I have been blessed to work with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, temperaments and life stages. I have had the joy of caring for rambunctious puppies and the privilege of providing comfort to senior dogs and cats.
“Savanah was great walking my 2 beagles. She was always on time and my dogs really liked her.. one of my dogs is a little special and Savanah seems to figure that out and made her feel more comfortable when walking with her. I would recommend her!”

About: Trustworthy and Caring Dog Sitter with Over a Decade of Personal Dog Ownership Experience. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for your dog, filled with love, care, and endless belly rubs. I currently work outside the home full-time M-F with a lunch break at 1200 where I come home and walk my 12 year old dog. I have a fenced yard, a 12 year old Yorkie, and plenty of places for your pup to explore on walks. Your pup will be cared for as a member of the family.
“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of our boy while we were out on vacation for 2 weeks. She is sweet, reliable and communicative. Our dog is forever in love with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a good walker/sitter.”

About: 🐾 Afternoon or Evening Pet Sitting Visits 🐾 Headed out of town? I’m offering once-per-day check-ins in the afternoon or evening to help care for your pets and your home. Or, if your pet(s) choose to stay in my home, we will love & care for them as our own. We have lots of space for running, and a *partially* fenced yard (while I stay outside with them, I am not comfortable caring for any famous escape artists :) We have two dogs, two bunnies, two guinea pigs, a conure, beehives, and a bearded dragon in our little zoo :) ✅ Former Licensed Veterinary Technician – experienced and confident with all kinds of pets, from the usual cats & dogs to handling more exotic companions like reptiles, lizards, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Comfortable with administering any medications and special diets. ✅ Feeding, fresh water, and clean enclosures/litter boxes, and ensuring enclosures are functioning properly for our scaled friends. ✅ Helpful extras while you’re away, like bringing in mail/packages, cycling lights, or anything else I can help with! By day, I work flexible hours but I love to use my animal care background to offer this service as a way to help save for college costs for my kiddos but still doing something I really love! 🐶🐱🐢🐇 Whether you’re gone for a day or a few weeks, you can relax knowing your pets are well-cared for :) 📩 Send me a message if you’d like to schedule care or have questions! Or would like a custom quote for pets that aren't the typical type :) Please note: Unfortunately I am not the best fit for drop-ins if you need multiple visits per day. However if your pet just requires a once-daily quality check-in, I’m your person! While I do work a few days in the office, I work from home 2-3 days per week (and I'm generally around every weekend) and love to spend time with and care for animals throughout the day. Drop-in availability varies by day, but generally between 10am-10pm and generally up to once per day. Depending on the time of day, I may have two helpers with me - my very pet-savvy & responsible/supervised twin girls :) I will respect your home and am very tidy, so you can come home at ease. I enjoy caring for all species (dog, bird, rabbit, cat, lizards/reptiles), and I am happy to provide care & attention as needed each day.
About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.
About: Ever since I was a child I have loved animals of every kind. I would love to care for your fur babies whether it’s overnight or just for a stroll. I am currently only working a few hrs. per week as I have made the decision to be home with my family more. Pet sitting would work perfectly for me. I’m available anytime that’s needed! I am able to keep a solid routine with the owners needs. Any services that are needed I can provide. Overnights, walking, play dates, etc.
About: I have 8 years of experience working with and caring for cats and dogs! I have no problem taking care of pets of any size or temperament! I even have some experience caring for small animals like rabbits and ferrets! I love all animals and I have been around them my whole life. I also have knowledge in medical care for dogs like giving medications and how to handle emergency situations, as well as minor things like nail trims and even bathing! I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own! My availability will always be updated on my profile! - my day to day always involves one to two long walks a day with my dog. I have tons of land for your fur baby to runaround! I also have a dog of my own who is super friendly and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind having someone to play with from time to time!
About: I am an animal lover & have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, goats, cows, & horses. I have had the honor & privilege of having several 4 legged family members to love & care for in my lifetime but currently do not have any of my own so I would be grateful for the opportunity to love and care for your animals when you are away. I work full-time sometimes from home so I will do my best to accommodate my clients & fur-babies schedules & needs if possible for the days requested. I am interested in walking dogs for clients, follow agreed-upon routes, schedules & dispose of waste. I will pay attention to details and be sure they have food and water and dispose of their waste. I will gladly provide companionship & care in your absence. I am a responsible & reliable individual that you can trust for taking care of your fur-babies & even to the veterinarian in the event of an emergency. I am a non-smoker, non-vaper, non-drinker & non-drug user.
About: I have owned many dogs/cats/ducks/horses. I have been relied on by many family members and friends to check in their furry friends. I can do anything that needs to be done including washing, walking, feeding, or just playing. Please reach out to me! I am currently working as an Amazon driver with a flexible schedule. I am also willing to check in on your fur baby around my weekly schedule. I will keep up with trash, cleaning litter boxes, and changing puppy pads like the house is my own. And of course always keep the water jug full.
About: I have had a love for animals my whole life! Throughout my summers in high school I volunteered at GMHS as a way to give my time back to the community. I now have a 3 year old Jack Russell/Beagle mix named Nova, and we do everything together. I also have 2 cats Jake & Bailey, and a Leopard Gecko named Leia. I do work full time M-F, however I dedicate my weekends to spending time taking Nova on longer walks and having extended play time, and she loves having guest! I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I usually take Nova out to parks often, and out for play time in our back yard. She is very welcoming to guest and loves having someone to play with. If you are comfortable Nova and I would love to have guest join our walks and play times!
About: I have three dogs that I have trained and taken care of since they were puppies. My oldest is 10 years and youngest is 4 years old. They are my world and I truly love training and taking care of them. I am my friends and family's go to pet sitter when they are out of town, so my pups are used to having other dog visitors! I'm very reliable and will treat all animals as if they are my own. I'm on Rover so I can meet and take care of other dogs instead of adding another to my pack ;) I work from home mostly so I am flexible regarding when I can take care of your pet. Morning, lunchtime, or evening walks - I will try to accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs! I have three friendly dogs and a large fenced yard. I’m downstairs with my pups all day while working from home. I enjoy taking breaks and playing with them through out the day.

About: I am a 25 year old student studying marine ecology. I consider myself more of a puppy-person than a people-person. I have two dogs of my own, both of which are sort of seniors. I am a very patient person when it comes to animals, and I have been caring for a variety of animals since I was young (they used to call my house The Zoo House) I am a full time student but with plenty of time in the evening to care for pets, and taking breaks from the books to walk or run with your dog, bring it to the park, or play with your dog so that your dog goes home tired and happy would be a perfect way to stretch my legs between study sessions. Although I do not have a yard, I am able to make frequent and lengthy walks.
