“Our scheduled pet sitter canceled and in desperation, I searched the internet and found Rover. I sent out my request and in minutes James responded. I was instantly relieved. He came over to visit us before leaving for vacation to meet us and our pets. James administered medication and took wonderful care of our 4 cats and dog. We are super grateful for all the help and services James provided us. We will definitely rebook again!!!”
“Amanda was great with our pugs. She came by prior to her visit to meet them and gather information. First time using River and we were very happy all around. We will definitely ask for Amanda again.”
About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.
“Madison was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our kitten absolutely loved her. We also received wonderful photos that made us feel like we were right there with her. Highly recommend!”
“Haley is wonderful, so sweet and helpful she even offered to fill our bird feeders while we were away! Our cat is cautious and slow to warm up to strangers, but Haley had her out from her hiding places and even considering play time (huge for her)! I highly recommend booking! Thanks again Haley for the great care & peace of mind!…🥰👍”
“Kristen took great care of my two cats and was a great communicator. It gave me piece of mind and made my trip much more enjoyable! Would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Justina took great care of my cats while I was gone. She did daily check ins at my house, gave them so much love and attention, and sent me daily photos and updates. I will definitely be booking again for future trips.”
About: I’ve have had a handful of dogs in my lifetime, all who have lived/are living long, healthy, happy lives! At 16, I started working at Play All Day Doggie Daycare in Portsmouth, NH, and only left to go to college in Boston. I also work part-time in the summer at Charmingfare Farm in Candia, NH. I have experience with cleaning up after the dogs, administering medication, bathing, boarding, feeding, walking, but most importantly, making them feel loved and ensuring they have fun! I am going to school full-time and am a student athlete as well. I have a spread out class schedule so walks are easier to incorporate in my routine. I will provide anything/everything that you request and more. Whether it’s just making sure they go to the bathroom for a half hour and releasing some energy, or staying with them overnight and attending to health needs. I will make sure your dogs are well taken care of, beyond satisfaction. Specialized in aggression & reactivity!
“Tati is so wonderful. She was attentive, gentle, kind and very communicative. We felt so comfortable that our puppy was in good hands and felt that Tati went above and beyond.”
About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.
“I cannot recommend Patrick enough. For every single visit with our pets, he went above and beyond our expectations. Patrick was highly empathetic when interacting with our pets and was he able to befriend them quickly. We have two dogs (one fearful), a cat, and a bird and Patrick was able to adjust his care perfectly for each of their individual needs.”

I am capable of walking and looking after many dogs because I do it everyday! I have worked for a dog day care/boarding facility as well as dog groomers.

I have a fenced in area for my dogs that can also be turned into two areas if your pet prefers privacy, I also have large dog crates available for space, I also have an inside pen that the dog can stay in if they are not used to being crated. The dog can sleep with me as well if that is what they are used to, I do have well behaved dogs that would love to play if thats what your pet would enjoy. I want your pet to have as comfortable an experience as possible while their loved one is away. Its what I would want for my pets and I would treat yours the same way. At your house I will follow whatever rules you have for your pet whether it be leashed walks or play in a fenced yard or area
About: I have grown up with dogs in my house, from both a rescue and puppy age. My neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs, both staying overnight and taking them on walks.

I will follow however you’d like to keep your animals safe! Taking care of an animals doesn’t just mean feeding and walking them, I love to cuddle and play with them too!
“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

Sylvie provided great care for our cat Mucca, keeping her happy and entertained while we were away for a pretty long time. She was very quick to respond to schedule and also made sure to share a detailed review card for each visit. We were lucky to have Sylvie watch Mucca and will be reaching out to her for future care!
Sarah couldn’t have been more wonderful with our pup! She was so responsive, considerate, professional, and caring. She was right on time, took care of all of our dog’s needs, played and snuggled, sent great pictures and updates, and overall we just felt so happy and confident leaving our dog in her care!!
Teresa was exactly on time and prepared to play. She is friendly, conscientious, and obviously loves animals. My dogs had a great workout with her in the yard and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. I also really appreciate that she respects the boundaries of my anxious doggo and listened to the advice I gave about bonding with her. I now feel confident about hiring Teresa for dog sitting in my home.
Very Happy with Morgan and her visits with Trinity. Absolutely wonderful! she took amazing care of my cat while I was away — sending regular updates, photos, and making sure everything was exactly as I’d asked. Trinity felt super comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Morgan was always prompt, dependable, and always communicated promptly, which gave me great peace of mind. I came home to a happy pet and a tidy house — couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank You!!
Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.
Kate was wonderful with our three kitties. We had never worked with her before, and she was able to handle a complex situation that that involved medications with one of our kitties who is healing from a foot injury. She was also available on very short notice which was a huge relief to us. Her communication was excellent, and her enthusiasm and care for animals is immediately apparent. We highly recommend Kate and we’re so glad we have met her!!
