About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.
“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”
“Erin is a great combination of confidence and enthusiasm. She did great walking and running with our high energy dog who came home happy, calm, and tired! Looking forward to more walks with Erin!”
About: Hello! As a little girl I've always dreamed of working in animal care and I am enrolling in a local community college to start that journey. Thus far I have experience working in a kennel and at an animal hospital working with all breeds and temperaments! I currently work full time at a veterinary center that has a number of specialty services! I work Friday, Sunday, and Monday 12PM-12AM. I’m very flexible around this schedule as long as you can be. Not only am I caring for your fur-babies but I will be coming into your home and I want to make everything as comfortable as possible for you. I also enjoy sending out pictures (with your permission) and giving you update on how you're pet and home are doing.
About: What does a Disney princess, & dr.dolittle have in common with me? Animals tend to trust & understand us. I find happiness in caring for animals & understand the guilt when you have to go somewhere without your companion. I’m reliable, communicative & take really great photos I’d love to share with you! I work remote, and would like to utilize my abilitity to be home during my breaks and lunch hour, to assist other with their animal care needs. Happy to follow your schedule & system that works in your home. I understand consistency with your companion & keeping in contact so you’re aware of everything that’s happening while you’re away. I understand that piece of mind is everything.
About: I owned and cared for a dog for 10 years and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Always careful about details when it comes to care. I am self employed and thus I am able to devote full attention as necessary to pet care when I am working for you and on the clock. I always am careful to understand the environment I am in and how it relates to the pet I am caring for. I also take plenty of notes on care details.
About: I don’t know if anything sets me apart, I just love dogs and animals. I don’t have any special trainings just 17 years of having pets. I had a little min pin/ chihuahua mix who was the best lap dog. Who enjoyed car rides and walks. Now my dogs Lilly and Desi who are mixes with a lot of different breeds are the best. They hang out with me all the time. Like to go for hikes and walks. Sometimes they take a dip in the river at the Northampton dog park. I’m a fireman, I work 24 hour shifts. I have a lot of time off when I complete my shifts. When my partner goes to work I’m usually home and I feed and walk the dogs. I will be just walking the dogs. I’m very safe with my pets and I walk two dogs at a time, all the time. It’s a pleasure of mine to walk them.
About: Nice to meet you! I’m thrilled you decided to visit my Rover page to read a little about me. Hi there! I'm Viki — a devoted, passionate, dedicated animal companion and advocate with a calm, caring presence and over 15 years of hands-on experience with pups of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have a deep respect for every pet's personality: Whether your furry friend is a playful, curious little one focusing on potty breaks and training support, to playtime and structure for those energetic adults, to gentle walks and extra comfort for sweet senior companions to those pups who are shy and sensitive, or those who require assistance or have wheels, or maybe you have that rambunctious pup and ya just can’t figure out how to get rid of that extra energy (or weight) — it can turn into things like lunging, reactivity, misguided aggression, I’m ready to meet them where they are — with thoughtful, personalized patience and care every animal deserves. My goal is simple: to ensure your family member is safe, relaxed, loved, and happy while you're away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, intuitive and we’ll tailor your pet’s care plan to meet their specific needs, requirements and routines. You’ll receive open and honest communication and your pup will receive a tail-wagging good time! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands animals, and will care for yours with compassion and skill, I’d love to meet your fur family and you! **Please contact me for current rates** rates may change without notice / rates are non-negotiable. (No boarding at this time). Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for ensuring I’m available for their walks, appointments, drop-ins, feedings, medication administration, special needs and playtime. I’m organized, consistently on time and I ensure every furry friend receives the loving care, attention they deserve and they are comfortable before I leave the home. I also build flexibility into my schedule depending on situational needs of my clients. I sincerely enjoy spending time with my each one of my furry friends as their care is my top priority. My expertise comes in, to ensure the needs of my furry friends are met as their parents deserve peace of mind when they’re away. Safety is my Priority! Family’s and I meet before beginning a new journey together. Normal steps for getting to know a new family and their furry family member are the following: — Introductory Phone or Video Call: depending upon technical connection and circumstances. — Schedule a meet and greet: 1/2 hr to 1hr —make a schedule This establishes trust between both parties by getting to know one another, and while I’m there I can do a safety check, at no cost to new clients. I also take meticulous notes during our meeting so nothing is missed.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets since I was 12 years old. Cats, dogs, and fish. I’ve watched family and friends pets with their trust for many years. I’d love to help you take care of yours. I’m currently a full time Paramedic/Firefighter working 2, 24 hour shifts a week. I’m more than willing to work with you around that schedule to meet your needs in pet care. I can easily crate your dog if needed or feed them when it’s their time to eat. I don’t mind taking them on walks or playing with them in the yard. I will stick the schedule and desires that you want.
About: My first responsibility I had as a 4 year old was feeding our family dog, Shannon. Since then, I not only helped feed, walk and care for my own pets, but have helped others as well. Whether it was classroom fish, or boisterous double-dog walks, I always love making a pet's day brighter. I take pets' well-being seriously and like to do all I can to make your pet feel at home and worry-free in your absence. During the school year, I have limited availability during evenings and weekends. During the summer and school vacations, I am available weekdays, weeknights, and on most weekends. I offer drop-ins for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other small animals. I also offer dog walking. I am an avid athlete so I am happy to take on energized dogs who like long walks. I have experience administering oral medication and injections.

Brooke P.
“It will be difficult to keep my comments to 25 words. Brooke is my granddaughter and she is a wonderful and caring young lady. Besides being very caring for her grandparents, she has shown to be caring for animals. Brooke has been around animals for all of her life. As an infant my dog would curl up with her when she took her daily naps. During her grammar school and high school years, her family had 2 cats and a dog. She was responsible to help walk, play and feed them. She was the favorite member of the family for their dog to climb into her bed at night. Recently during the past year, Brooke took care of her Aunts dog and cat. When her aunt returned, her only complaint was the pets didn't seem to realize she was gone. Brooke took excellent care of them and kept their normal routines. I believe that animals have the ability to know who to trust. Whenever Brooke is around animals, they come to her and feel safe. Brooke is a responsible and loving pet caregiver and they all love her.”

Viki V.
“Viki and I go back several years ago. We met when I was walking my service dog, Cami to the park. Cami absolutely loved Viki. Every time we walked past her house, Cami would look back to see if she could see her. Viki helped me set-up a foot washing basin for Cami's feet to wash in the Winter months. Helping get off the rock salt and other stuff. Viki is kind and considerate and loves animals. She offered to cut Cami's nails and gave other care tips. I used some of her suggestions. I think Viki would be very helpful to someone who needs pet care.”
Joseph B.
“Joey Black has consistently proven himself to be the most dependable person in my life, particularly when it comes to the well-being of my 3.5-year-old American Pitbull Terrier, Apollo. In the event that I become unable to care for Apollo due to unforeseen circumstances, I have complete confidence in Joey's ability to ensure Apollo receives the best possible care. Joey possesses a keen intellect, a strong sense of responsibility, and the foresight to make well-informed decisions. Whether he takes on the direct responsibility of caring for Apollo himself or collaborates with others to secure Apollo's well-being, I trust Joey to assess any situation thoroughly, consider all available options, and make the most appropriate choice, even when faced with difficult decisions. Joey's reliability extends beyond his care for Apollo. He is the type of individual who would immediately respond to an urgent call for assistance, arriving promptly without hesitation or the need for explanation. Having known Joey his entire life, I have witnessed him consistently surpass his peers in various aspects, including social adeptness, academic achievement, and overall success, often by taking unconventional paths that lead to remarkable outcomes. Among the select few individuals I trust implicitly, Joey Black stands at the forefront. His unwavering dependability, sound judgment, and dedication make him an exceptional friend and confidant.”

Sara has been walking my dog Eddie daily and is a fantastic walker! She has formed a wonderful relationship with him and is so considerate of his needs. She is always thinking ahead about weather and various things in the neighborhood. She is also very communicative. I would highly recommend her, especially if you have a large breed or reactive dog.
This was the second time Isabel walked our high-energy, high-anxiety dog. I appreciate that Isabel responds quickly to any messages from me and let me know how everything was going so we could relax and enjoy our time away without worry. I will definitely reach out to Isabel the next time we need pet care.
