“Sophia did a great job keeping our furry baby company while we were gone. She updated us every day on how he was doing and sent photos. She also left our home in great shape. This is our third time hiring Sophia and we can highly recommend her.”

“Lauren was fantastic with Atlas. She was also very communicative with pics, updates, and asking questions when he got anxious about a party next door and how to best support him. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Henry was a perfect fit for my two little dogs and cat! He made sure to ask about any instructions, sent photographs to reassure they were being cared for, and managed to befriend two nervous pups quite quickly!!”


About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

“Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.”

“I’m happy to add to the list of excellent reviews for Jakk! She took terrific care of our mini poodle, our two cats and our house while we were out of town. We came back to content animals, a tidy home, AND a fresh baked, delicious cinnamon sugar bread! Jakk also went the extra mile and took our dog to the groomer so I didn’t have to reschedule his appointment. She sent regular photos and videos and was very reachable, flexible, and responsive. At first I was anxious to leave our floofs with someone new to us, but it took about 30 seconds to realize Jakk loves animals and they love her back. We’re incredibly grateful for her work, kindness, and professionalism. What a delightful person and great animal sitter. Thank you!”


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: Since I was a small child, I have had numerous family dogs and otherwise, all of which have helped me develop a deep understanding of love, care, and joy. Each dog I meet leaves a mark on me, and I truly value that. Recently, I left my career in Civil Engineering to pursue my love for dogs and all animals - which has brought me to my most recent job and passion of working at a kennel. I only wish to continue this new journey by helping/assisting/caring for even more animals, which brings me to Rover! I am currently working part-time (25-35 hours per week) at a kennel. I have 3-4 spare days each week - in which I hope to incorporate extra care work into my schedule, which brings me to Rover. I am comfortable with both on leash and off leash care, and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. In my home, my dog has always been the priority in my day to day. Ensuring good health, a positive atmosphere, and the ability to show them/allow them to live their life to the fullest. I value safety incredibly, and I am confident in my abilities to build trust with any and all dogs - given the necessary time and comfortability.
“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have cared for my own dog my whole life, and he is my world! I will care for yours the same way! I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!
“Jessica is a dog-whisperer! Our dog Timba immediately fell in love with her. Jessica looked after our two "shell-shocked" dogs with love and care. They have recently been transplanted from abroad and have had a hard time living in a more "socialized"environment. Jessica's dog expertise offered them a calming caretaker and allowed them to settle into a new relationship over a couple of days. We are very happy to have found Jessica and highly recommend her.”

“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”

“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

“Laura was friendly, flexible with times and very warm with our dog. She played with our dog with dog puzzles on her own initiative and kept us posted with pictures and details throughout the evening. Laura has grown up around animals and is knowledgeable about them. I would certainly ask her to take care of our puppy again.”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been both a dog and cat owner for more than 20 years. Caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which gives me the flexibility to help other pet owners enjoy their summer travels with peace of mind. I especially believe that pets are often happiest when they can remain in their own familiar environment. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, providing a greater sense of comfort and ease. I am dependable, timely, and clean, and I take pride in treating both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will provide attentive, personalized care tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping make your time away as worry-free as possible. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your pet's specific needs and routine. Whether it's daily walks, feeding schedules, medication reminders, playtime, or check-ins at particular times of day, I will do my best to work around the schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and happy. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I am committed to maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Simply let me know your preferences and your pet's needs, and I will be happy to accommodate them. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. I enjoy caring for pets in their own homes because it allows them to remain in a familiar environment with their established routines. I believe this minimizes stress and disruption, helping pets feel more comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I take the time to learn your pet's habits, preferences, and daily schedule so I can provide care that is consistent with what they are used to. Whether it's feeding times, walks, playtime, medication, or special instructions, I am committed to maintaining the level of care and attention you provide for your animal every day. I also understand the responsibility that comes with caring for your home and your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful, attentive, and communicative throughout my time with your furry family members.
“Teri spent 2 days with my dog, who’s a little bit of a nervous nut but he absolutely loved Teri when she cane for an initial meeting. She sent updates and great pictures, and left the home in great shape. I would definitely use Teri’s services again. Thank you!”


“We are very happy with the care Bella provided for Sonny when she spent the day/evening at our home. She genuinely loves dogs & quickly formed a bond with our little guy. We have already booked Bella for another stay and will continue to depend on her kind, loving & responsible pet care services!”

“Katie is excellent! She stayed at our house for 7 nights and took excellent care of our two golden retrievers and cat. She kept their routines and provided updates and numerous pictures three times (morning, afternoon, evening) each day. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Our house was immaculate upon return and our pets relaxed and happy. Thanks Katie!”
