About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.
About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s cats since I was young, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and friends of the family. I’ve taken care of 4 rambunctious dogs at once so I can handle the commotion. I am back in school so I can take care of pets whenever I’m not in class. Though I will need time to study and do homework outside of class I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am willing to do whatever is needed to ensure your pet gets the proper care. If I’m not given more specific instructions I will walk them once a day, feed them, let them out when needed, and give them plenty of attention.
“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”

Currently I am working at a local animal shelter where I have gained experience handling nervous and reactive dogs, as well as seniors and puppies. I have also been trained to administer medication. I love all dogs and will treat them as my own! During the school year I will only be available during certain hours so please send me a message to discuss what days/times you will be in need of my help! I will be respectful of your home and be inside only during the time of my services. I will leave everything as I found it.

“I hired Amanda to check in on my three cats over a long weekend. She was great! Very dependable, likeable and knowledgeable with my cats. She understood their needs and quirks. I was very comfortable having her coming into my home. I will not hesitate to hire her again when the need arises. Thank you, Amanda!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I went out of town for a week an me wanted someone to check in on my cat and make sure all was good while I was away (including the home temperature). Faith was awesome! Super communicative, extremely responsible, timely. She thought of things I didn’t even think of. Definitely put my mind at ease while I was away, as I knew my cat was in the best hands. Thank you so much Faith for being the best! Absolutely recommend, absolutely would use again!”

I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.
About: Hello, I enjoy working with all dogs, big or small. I have always had a special connection with dogs and since I can't have my own dog at this time in my life, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunities when I can spend time with other dogs. I grew up with an english springer spaniel named, Cocoa and a golden retriever, named Beckett, I miss them both very much. I have stayed at many peoples homes to watch their dogs...I like to meet the dog and owner before I come to stay and I like to know how you care for your dog so I can provide the same care while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Kind regards, Jessica R.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
I have only the best things to say about Magnoly! She was punctual, professional, responsive, and so very caring with my 3 pups. She handles dogs of various temperaments with grace and knows when and how to step in to avoid negative interactions between dogs. Her Report Cards were thoughtful and the photos she took showed that my dogs were so happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for everything, Magnoly!
Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!
I’m so unbelievably grateful for Courtney as she took such great care of my boys! I very suddenly had a family member pass away and needed to leave town for the services without much notice. Despite the short notice, Courtney was able to accommodate my request and a couple of last minute changes to the schedule. Her communication throughout the entire experience was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to have someone else taking care of my two dogs. Those nerves quickly went away as soon as my boys met her, they absolutely loved her! Both of my dogs were so excited to see her and seemed to have a wonderful time with her, I was incredibly thankful that I didn’t feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was away. Courtney was very knowledgeable about dogs and, despite just meeting my two, she seemed to understand their behaviors and quirks instantly. She asked great questions about them and their care routine and listened to everything I had to say about them. Courtney was very timely when coming to care for my dogs and took the cutest pictures! The pictures showed me that my dogs were having a wonderful time with her. They were both fed exactly as instructed and they always had fresh water. I will 100% be booking with Courtney in the future!
Ava was AMAZING with our puppy, Willow! She watched her 3-5 days a week for a couple of months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was flexible with our schedule, always reliable, and her communication was excellent—we always felt at ease knowing Willow was in great hands. We would absolutely book with Ava again! Highly recommend her!

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.
