About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe
About: Hi! I’m Jon, a dependable, active dog lover based in Beverly. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have an 11-year-old pup named Baxter, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend. I know every dog has a different personality, pace, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Outside of dog walking, I work full-time in leadership, where reliability, communication, and responsibility are part of my everyday life. You can count on me to be on time, attentive, and to treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I’m primarily available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can also accommodate weekday requests with advance notice whenever my schedule allows. If you don’t see a time that works, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it happen! Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just enjoys companionship, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Safety is always my top priority. I’ll keep your pet secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I also believe communication is important. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“We’re always a but worried leaving our furry friends behind when we travel. But Jessica kept our worries at bay, and did an excellent job looking after our kitties! She provided updates each day and was even able to get our shy kitties to open up to her! We’ll definitely book again and are so grateful for all of her help!”


About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.
“Jacquelyn did a great job taking care of my kitten on his first time alone. She followed all instructions exactly, kept in contact with any changes, and took great photos of him playing with her. It was such a relief to know he was safe and happy with her while we were gone.”

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.
About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I am a dog lover looking for more dogs to love on. My husband Eric and I have a very sleepy Pyrenees who we are always looking to introduce to more friends! I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house. Because I am work from home, I’m very flexible on walks, day cares, and much more! I love going to the dog parks around town and would be more than happy to take your baby there as well. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your fur baby busy. Not the athletic type? Great! We have a big couch and lots of comfy spots for them to laze around in.

About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.
About: I’ve been walking dogs for a year and love keeping them happy, active, and safe. Playtime and long walks are some of my favorite parts of pet care! I also enjoy spending time with cats, whether that’s play, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time student, so I’m not able to be in the home all day, but I make plenty of time for pets in the evenings and overnight. On weekdays, I can arrive around 5pm and stay through the night, though I’ll be away between 8am–5pm. Even with a busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly love, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets in my care. Dogs get secure walks on leashes, supervised playtime, and plenty of attention, while cats have a calm, comfortable space to relax or play. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and temperament, and follow any special instructions you provide to ensure pets are safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family all my life. I’m always a go to call for any of my friend’s pet needs due to my reliability and consistency. I’m a lover of all pets, cats and dogs alike. All animals deserve all the same love and care! I work in the construction trades Monday through Friday with time after my work days from 3pm to 10pm. My weekend availability is a lot more flexible so I would be able to do multiple visits during my the weekend. I have immense cat care throughout my years, in visits for feedings or check ins to cleaning litter boxes. For dogs, I would be able to go for walks, go for visits and check ins, and feedings as well. I am very good with all animals alike.

About: Taking care of dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember, whether it be the family dogs or shelter dogs in need of some extra love. I am experienced in walking all types of dogs. From tiny chihuahuas to great danes, highly active pets to couch potatoes, I strive to meet every animals needs while they are away from their owner. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once and giving commands during walks. I am available at all times of day and have a car that can transport your pups! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to base my day around when I need to care for dogs. I frequently go for walks (short or long) and love to have dogs join me. When caring for pets I always take the dog or cat’s personality, energy level, and special requirements into consideration. All dogs and cats are unique, so I strive to create the best experience and environment possible for each animal by catering to their specific needs.

About: I am great with all dogs. I love taking care of them and enjoy taking them for walks just to see how happy they are to be outside and exploring nature. Depending on your dogs personality, I would be happy to play with them or if they prefer to hangout more quietly I’ll cuddle up with them while I complete schoolwork or watch a movie. My family has had dogs my entire life so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Additionally, If your dog likes playing with other dogs, I have two that love to play! I would be happy to take them with me for walks, and give them new friends (and more importantly help them get rid of all that energy). My dogs don’t travel with me all the time so if your dog isn’t a fan of others I’ll make sure to leave them at home. My hope is to give your dog attention that will make them feel safe and cared for when you are not around.

I work from home and have mornings free. I usually walk from 8-10:30 on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. Would love to have your pup join me! I have a friendly dog at home who loves every creature. Safety is number one priority! Your pet will be cared for as my own with diligence and never left alone.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ipswich choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
