“Paul took excellent care of my dog Pierre while I was away for 4 days. Pierre became a member of the family, eating, sleeping, hiking, playing and just hanging out. I was very reassured to see how excited & happy Pierre became when Paul arrived to pick him up. Pierre was a shelter dog, and has struggled with anxiety, so this was momentous! I will certainly use Paul again through Rover for any other services I need!”
“Brittany was Great and accommodating with both of my dogs Luna & Ash! My dogs definitely had a wonderful time and Brittany followed instructions to feed and take care of my girls when I was out for the weekend! Definitely be booking more time with her :)”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
About: I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, I am usually available from 11 AM-5:30 PM; on Mondays & Wednesdays, I am usually available from 11 AM -12 PM) I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and occasional boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend. I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Rick and Laura are the best, and our dog could feel it the moment she met them! Sophie enjoyed playing in the fenced-in yard, going for walks and even a hike. She is timid about some things, like seeing other dogs, but Rick and Laura took the time to help her through it, so she could continue her walks. Great communication, frequent updates, and the level of care is phenomenal. Their love and compassion for animals really shows. We're planning to have Sophie go for some day stays, since she had such a great time!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I currently have two golden retrievers and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience watching both dogs and cats for others and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family — honestly, I like animals more than humans. I work full time, but I’m only a couple minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come home during the day when needed and can also work remotely at times, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs to help keep your fur baby company if they enjoy socializing. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am comfortable caring for animals of all breeds and sizes. Pets are welcome on the furniture and bed because we believe they deserve to feel at home and loved while you’re away. My husband and I both have so much love to give, and we’re always happy to provide cuddles, attention, and companionship if your pet enjoys affection.
About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.
“We love leaving our fur baby Scarlet with Patrick & Susan, in fact we only leave Scarlet with Patick & Susan!!! We love the pix and updates they send daily. Thank you again for taking such great care of Scarlet!”
“Another stay for our dog Milo and another fantastic experience. Milo was so excited to see Karina and again he received the best care while we were away. Couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our dog. Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
About: My family has always had dogs, and I feel that they enhance the family unit. No discrimination against certain breeds. German Shepherd, Rottweiler, American Staffordshire, Boxer, makes no difference to me. I adore all the four-legged kids! I have my own four-legged kid, and truly appreciate the help I’ve received through Rover.com, while being at work or out of town. It’s such a relief to know that the he is taken care of, so I can continue working to provide for him. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. Dogs are family, and I would gladly treat yours as part of my pack. I would be happy to perform drop-in visits or walk your dog(s) during the day, or into the night hours, as my schedule allows. Currently, I am unavailable for midday drop-ins and walks Mondays through Thursdays. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. I happily treat your fur kids as lovingly as my own. Always checking that food and water bowls filled as needed. Utilizing the crate should they need it upon my leaving.
“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Karyn! She quickly became smitten with Karyn’s dog, Milo, and clearly felt right at home. Karyn was fantastic to work with—she kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and happy throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karyn again.”
“I would not hesitate to use Maria again to watch our dog Jack. The pictures she sent showed him playing and his ears were up telling us that he was happy. She was very easy to work with and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was so easy and reassuring knowing that he was happy and playing and not in a kennel. He came home happy and tired and I think a little sad that he didn't have his friends to play with at home.”
“Shekeyla was an amazing caretaker for our two dogs! She was very accommodating to our last minute changes to the plan, and very understanding of our dog’s needs and personalities! We felt very reassured and fortunate to have found Shekeyla just in time for a planned trip, and so appreciated the updates and pictures we got along the way. Absolutely would recommend Shekeyla to anyone! Thank you again!! 💜”

Abigale and Eric were terrific! They were super responsive to my texts and sent multiple updates and photos every day. I could really tell how much fun Brisket was having with them. Their home and backyard are completely dog-friendly, and they even let Brisket lounge on the furniture and sleep in bed with them—which he absolutely loves! I will definitely be booking with them again next time I'm in town!
We left Dax with Tricia for a long weekend so we could attend a family event. I always tend to get nervous leaving Dax for such a long stay, but Tricia was absolutely fabulous. She sent check in pictures at least once a day and I got fun videos of playing fetch or going for a walk. Tricia responded quickly when I would be missing Dax or wanting to see how he was doing. She is just awesome and I'm so grateful to have good hands to leave our best boy with!
Rachel and her family are amazing! My dog has special medication and specific needs which Rachel is experienced with. I have never left my dog in anyone's caŕe in the past, yet after boarding Luna for 2 and a half days I will definitely book her again. I knew she was in safe and capable hands with Rachel. I highly recommend her!
Ruby had a wonderful first stay with Kat! From our very first conversation about boarding Ruby, Kat was attentive, thoughtful, and a great communicator. She took such great care of Ruby and kept me updated on all of their activities. I especially loved receiving the photos—it was so reassuring to see how happy, comfortable, and relaxed Ruby looked. She truly seemed to be having the best time! I felt completely at ease knowing Ruby was in such caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kat care for her again.
Great clean and organizes place. clear communication. Adam was very friendly and the house was very clean, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for duration of his stay. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Kitsu. I will definitely be booking with Adam again! Highly recommended.
Our puppy was happy to stay with Aemelia for a couple of days. She’s very kind and it’s clear she has experience with dogs. She made our puppy feel comfortable and took good care of her. Communication was great from the start. While our dog was there, we got some nice pictures, which were much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Jessica was a fabulous caregiver for our 3-year old Lab/Aussie mix. She was loving, conscientious and followed all our suggestions, staying in daily contact with messages and pictures to reassure us that our baby was fine. We will be calling on her again when we need a dog sitter.
