About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.
“Whitnee was fantastic with Echo! She was willing and ready to help me extremely last minute and took the extra time to make sure Echo had the care he needed! Thanks so much Whitnee!”
About: Had a dog since I was a child, and have continued to have dogs my whole life. My current dog is 6 and great around children/other dogs (when she isn’t sunbathing). Currently job hunting so until that changes availability is relatively open. Early riser and love taking my dog on early morning walks in nice weather. A crate and in house fence are available, as well as sectioning off into separate rooms if needed. Plenty of beds and sleep/play space available.
About: What sets me apart is that I’d love to take your pup on a hike! I adore all breeds and love bully mixes and big dogs! Im currently working part time so I tend to go out for hikes and walks after 4. I always take time to go over commands and tricks and would love to teach your pup a new trick or two At my home we have an electric fence, however after dark we take dogs out on a leash to avoid wildlife. Even with fences or electric fences I always go outside when the dogs out
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I grew up in a big dog-loving family and have always had a dog in my life. I’ve also helped family, friends, and neighbors with dog sitting and walking over the years. I currently care for my 70-pound yellow Lab, who is truly my whole world. Having a large dog myself has given me a lot of experience with energetic dogs and the importance of regular exercise. In my full-time career I’m a licensed therapist, so being caring, attentive, and reliable is a big part of who I am. I believe every dog, no matter their size, deserves quality walks and thoughtful care. I’ll always take the time to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every visit. I am available for walks and drop-in visits Friday through Sunday. During visits, your pup will receive walks, regular meals or treats if requested, and plenty of playtime and attention. My top priority is the safety and comfort of both your pup and your home. I respect every owner's routines and instructions so you can feel confident that everything will be taken care of during my visits. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you're away.
“Cesar had a great visit with Sadie, Sadie was very informative asked questions regarding Cesar very professional looking forward to future visits and overnight stays with our Cesar”
“This was my first time using rover and leaving our cats alone this long but Jordyn was honestly so great. During the meet and greet the cats immediately liked her. And for each drop-in Jordyn sent us multiple pictures and a description of the visit which made being away so much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing cat care.”
“Thank you again for taking good care of my kitty! Kelly is great she plays with my cat and pets her. It puts my mind at ease knowing my cat is getting more than just food while I am gone. She is getting attention and hopefully feeling more secure about me being away. I think my kitty really likes Kelly because the next day after I return she looks out the glass door a number of times meowing around the time of day Kelly comes. So I think she is looking for her! Kelly is great I recommend her!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs both personally and for others. I recently watched my neighbors’ dogs for an entire weekend, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I’m available most other days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I will also be participating in the spring field hockey season at Springfield College, but I’m very organized with my time and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise. At home, I care for my two dogs daily and am very hands-on with their routine. I make sure they are fed on a consistent schedule, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and always have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space.
“After meeting Sara we felt extremely comfortable having her drop in with our guy. She is kind, asked lots of questions and confirmed the appointment ahead of time. The day of she arrived on time and sent lots of pictures- our guy loved her so much he let her rub his belly! We highly recommend Sara!”
“We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Many years experience of potty and crate training puppies. I have raised a St. Bernard, Husky, 2 Pomeranians, and currently have a BichaPoo. I even was able to assist my Pom Coco when she gave birth to her son. It was a beautiful moment. My schedule is very flexible and most days I work from home. Plenty of time to spend with your pet. If I do have to go into the office I will be gone no longer than 5 hours. In the evenings my husband and 4 kids (ages 15,12,7 & 7) are home as well. I have a fenced backyard and a lovable BishaPoo to play with your fur baby. Pets in our home are free to roam around our home. They are one of the family.
“Mary was amazing with my two goldens. They’re both very energetic and strong pullers on the leash and Mary was able to wrangle them no problem! She came over to meet the pups before hand and was so sweet to my dogs and to us. Send me photos every walk and give a full report back about everything the pups did! We all felt very comfortable with her off the bat as well. I would definitely have Mary back to care for our pups and recommend her to you 10/10!”
About: I've had pets for 50 years. Have dogs and cats. Work with TNR in my community. Care for feral colonies. Can administrator medication, IV fluids and sub q injections. I can handle special diets. Recently completed an Approved Vet Tech Assistant program and have passed the National Exam. I completed 100 hours at a local vet hospital as well. I'm currently working a flexible part time job. I do not have children at home or other responsibilities. I am available holidays, evenings and weekends.

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.
“I ABSOLUTELY love Christine! She came and took care of our cat Tuffy while she was sitting for our dog Enzo. You can see she loves animals, she keeps in contact so you never have to worry. Love her!”
Meriden dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly has helped us with our senior dog multiple times since he has not been able to be boarded, and sometimes with our younger more rambunctious dog as well during last minute bookings when his boarding center is full. I can tell the boys love her and enjoy her visits while we are away! She is always available and accommodates with us in a pinch and her notes and pictures give me such ease being away knowing our boys are being cared for. Thank you again for always working with us!
