“Kristin F. did a fantastic job taking care of our rabbit Sasha.She followed our directions to a t and sent pictures after every visit and a report card. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of my and other's dogs and animals since age 10. I am a sizeable male who can handle larger breeds of dogs with pulling issues etc. From tall to small I teach for all. I care for my three dogs and daughter's cat 7 days a week, including feeding, medicating, providing mental and physical stimulation (play and training). I take my dogs out multiple times a day while home. We play together often and work on some type of training for at least fifteen minutes a day.

“Vivian was an amazing support for my cat while I was away for 5 days. She spent quality time with her, completed all tasks, and checked in with me daily. I look forward to working with her again!”

“John has been absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Lainey. He is reliable, patient, and clearly loves dogs. As a new puppy owner, it gives me great peace of mind knowing that Lainey is in such caring hands. John takes the time to make sure she gets the exercise, attention, and positive interaction she needs, and he always keeps me updated on how she’s doing. Lainey is excited to see him, which tells me everything I need to know about the quality of care he provides. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog walker. We are so grateful to have found him!”

“Caroline was wonderful! She provided me with detailed updates and pics of my babies, she communicated well, and it was nice knowing that my girls were in good hands while I was off gallivanting. I would 100% recommend her and am already planning on booking her again next time I'm away. I came home to happy and well taken care of gatos. Thank you so much, Caroline! I truly appreciate how well you took care of my babies.”

“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”

About: Pet Care Experience — From Horses to Cats to Dogs My life with animals began long before it became a profession. At 14 years old, I started caring for horses — feeding, grooming, riding, exercising, and treating them as family. Horses taught me early lessons in patience, responsibility, and the importance of daily, consistent care. They also showed me how powerful the bond can be when animals are treated with respect and love. By 16, that passion grew into the dog world when I had the opportunity to be mentored by a close friend who was a Police K9 handler. That mentorship changed my life and set me on a path that would define my career. I began training at a K9 school in my hometown in New Hampshire, where I learned the foundations of K9 behavior, obedience, care, and handling of working dogs. I poured everything I had into learning the craft. After a year of dedicated internship and training, I taught my first class at just 17 years old. From that moment, I knew this was more than a job — it was a calling. Over the years, my experience grew into becoming a Police K9 handler in New Hampshire, followed by serving as a trainer and instructor for the NH Police K9 Academy through the Working Dog Foundation. I worked daily with high-drive working dogs and their handlers, focusing on discipline, safety, trust, and performance in real-world environments. After completing my full-time police career, I continued my K9 journey overseas, spending eight years in the Middle East providing private K9 handling and instruction in support of Army operations and Private Security detachments. Working in demanding and high-stress conditions further refined my skills and reinforced the importance of calm leadership, consistency, and deep respect for the dogs that depend on us. At the same time, I never stopped helping everyday families with their pets. Training and caring for family dogs — from energetic puppies to older companions — has always been just as important to me as working with professional K9 teams. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and loving guidance so they can thrive as well-behaved members of the family. Alongside my deep dog experience, my connection to cats comes from being a devoted cat owner. My wife and I shared our home with two amazing cats for about eight years, caring for them daily and loving them as part of our family. Living with cats taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, their need for gentle handling, respect for space, and the importance of calm, consistent routines — especially in a home shared with dogs. While my background with cats is personal rather than professional, it comes from genuine love and hands-on care as a pet parent. Through every chapter — horses, dogs, and cats — one thing has never changed: I treat animals as family. Today, with 27 years of experience centered around K9 training, handling, and care, supported by a lifetime of loving animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I work with. Whether your dog needs structured care, your cat needs gentle attention, or your pet simply needs someone who will treat them like their own, I’m here to provide that level of trust and commitment. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just choosing a sitter or caretaker — you’re choosing someone who has built his life around animals and who will care for yours with the same respect, patience, and love I’ve given my own. I am currently able to accommodate week days and most weekends to assist our communities. I can be available pretty much any time during the day as I own my own company that is newer to the industry it is supporting. 🛡️🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment For me, caring for animals has always been about more than just meeting basic needs — it’s about earning trust, creating calm, and treating every pet with the same respect and love I give my own. With decades of experience around animals — especially working dogs in high-responsibility and high-stress environments — I’ve learned that pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and cared for with consistency. Whether it’s a high-drive dog, a shy cat, or a senior companion, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routines, and comfort level. In my care, your pet will have: ❤️ Genuine compassion and patience 🏡 A calm, structured, and loving environment 🦴 Proper exercise, enrichment, and rest 🍽️ Attention to feeding routines and health needs 👀 Close supervision and awareness at all times I believe animals should never feel rushed, ignored, or unsafe. I keep their spaces clean, secure, and peaceful, and I handle every interaction with calm confidence so they know they’re in good hands. Because of my background with working dogs and my life with pets like Aries, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I don’t take that lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re treated as part of my family — with the highest level of care, respect, and responsibility. Most importantly, I listen to what matters most to you, learning your pet’s daily routines and needs so I can mirror your care and make their time with me feel just like home.
“Alex is a great sitter. She looked in on my kittens, fed them, scooped the litter and made sure they had plenty of dry food and water. She sent pictures and videos each day and stayed to play with them. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”

About: I have had the best experiences working in both animal shelters and animal hospitals learning so much about animal behavior, daily care needs/expectations, and am trained in providing basic medical care! I currently work full-time and have an amazing schedule that allows me to have 3 days off during the week! As I spend my work days promoting the lives of shelter pets, I look forward to spending time with owner pets too. At my home I have one small dog and a couple resident felines. The most important thing will be making sure both your pets and mine remain safe during the entire visit.
“Highly recommend Tori. My wife and I found ourselves needing someone to check in on our pup last minute and Tori was willing to help. She was extremely flexible on timing, communicated often with us and a fantastic job with our dog. We will definitely go with Tori again.”


“Kendall did a great job taking care of our two dogs. Drop ins were timely and she gave us detailed updates and pictures. I'm sure they were happy to have her attention while we were away! Would definitely call her again.”
“Nadine did an amazing job with our cat. Lots of playtime and pets when she stopped by for an evening drop-in. She kindly sent videos and pictures too! We hope to use Nadine again in the future!”

“Megan was sooo amazing with our sweet dog! We needed some last minute help with our dog during our wedding weekend and Megan went above and beyond to make sure she was cared for while we were at our celebration. She was a great communicator with pictures and videos. Thank you!!”

“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”

About: I am a veterinary technician at VCA CAVES, and my love to care for animals doesn’t stop when I am off the clock! I am CPR certified for animals, and I am confident I can care for your fur babies the way you would. I work 4 days a week caring for animals, come home and care for my own little doggy, and the remaining 3 days are spent doing school work, so I have time to spend loving on more dogs and cats! I believe in treating my pet as if she were part of the family, I don’t leave them outside in cold/hot weather, I keep them off hot asphalt, and apply safety whenever handling my own pet, and will treat yours with the utmost care and respect.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
