About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
“Sophia was great! She completed two drop in visits for our puppy! She was timely and communicated great! Shared pictures and how her visit went! Our puppy Olive loved her!”
“I am grateful to have someone like Aysegul to watch over my two cats while I was away for vacation. It's such a relief knowing that my cats are being cared for by someone I can trust while I am away!”
“Philip did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat while I was away. He was always communicative, keeping me updated and making me feel confident that she was in good hands. He made sure she was fed on schedule and that all of her food, water, and litter were kept clean. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being, and I truly appreciated the attention and kindness he showed. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have spent years caring for Siberian huskys,pitbull,labs,goldens and been around all types of dogs. I ride and exercise my own dog daily and have been doing so since I was a young child. Happy to help with any family and safe pets Lunch, after work, mid shift, all wiling to work with all schedules and happy to customize and schedule even exercise schedule that works for You Custom and happy to work within owners Constraints and comfort and needs. This can be adjusted daily weekly and by pet. I care for my Siberian husky with exercise walks and attention through the day and night
“Kyle is great! He has been walking Quinn for a couple weeks now & she is very comfortable with him! She’s a nervous Nelly, so this is important to us. He also helps out with Maddy, our 16 y/o cat that needs medication daily. He goes above & beyond for us & we apostate him!!”
About: Ive been a dog trainer for about 4 years. I specialize in reactive dog handling and went through intense training myself in Maine for 6 months to be able to do what I do & would love to work with your dog/dogs. I have training in working with all type of breeds & temperaments. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and training sessions throughout the week, with the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a structured, low-stress environment by sticking to your dog’s routine as closely as possible while also reinforcing calm behavior and good habits. I have experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs, and I’m always mindful of body language and triggers to prevent issues before they start.
“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”
About: I have been dog sitting and fostering dogs for the past 15 years. I absolutely love being able to interact with and care for dogs of all ages and with varying needs. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, from social and stable dogs to dogs that are reactive and need extra support in situations that they are unsure of. I also have knowledge in basic training, as I have trained my own dogs and have worked with the foster dogs to get them ready for adoption. I enjoy making sure the dogs I care for are fulfilled physically and mentally (play dates with other social dogs that have a compatible play style, pack walks, trick training, jogs, fetch, etc.). I look forward to having to opportunity to become a part of your dog's life. I have references and am more than willing to answer any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a social worker at a therapeutic elementary school. I ensure that the dogs I care for are taken on walks and have an opportunity to play in the fenced in the yard in the morning so that they are tired and naturally want to sleep while I am at work. When I get home from work, I enjoy going on more walks, playing in the yard, bringing them on car rides to various places, scheduling play dates, trick training, etc. before we eat dinner and relax afterwards. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure place for your dog to romp around. The fence is chain link, 6 feet tall, and reinforced on the bottom. My house is dog proof as well.
“Thank you Julian for looking after our sweet Murray!! Julian was excellent with our shy 5yr old tuxedo. He was fed twice a day and Julian was able to give him his eye drops. Julian was very communicative and sent in lots of pictures with each check-in. We knew Murray was in good hands- thank you so much Julian- we will definitiely use your services again!”
“Sarah-Jane could not be a better pet sitter! Our cat, Louis, absolutely adores her, as do we. She is thorough, attentive, and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and it shines through in her work. She goes above and beyond to take care of our special guy and to keep us updated every step of the way. We have booked with her many times and will continue to do so whenever possible - we cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I have looked after dogs and cats for my entire life.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Methuen 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
