About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on. I have not had the opportunity to have my own dogs/cats in my home, but I've taken care of family & friends' pets for many years and have always given their fur babies such amazing care and attention. I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely. I'm currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care as often as needed during the week with lots of time for fun! Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.
“I feel confident knowing that Colleen is coming to take care of my two dogs. She sends great pictures, is punctual and quick to respond. I would highly recommend her.”
“Haley was so great! This was our first time leaving our baby for the weekend, and having her gave us such peace of mind! She sent us pictures and updates at every visit, letting us know our baby was happy and safe! We will definitely be using Haley again!”
“An absolutely wonderful pet sitter who gave detailed notes for the daily check-ins, as well as several photos each day. Communication was great and Amanda took excellent care of my two boys ❤️”
“Sarah was on our puppy Beau's wavelength right away, and they had a great time together. She took great care of him while she was here, with his dinner, toys and snacks. I will definitely try to get Sarah to come back!”
“As appears to be the norm, exceeded our expectations once again. Thank you Kristie, we appreciate you so much. It is never easy leaving our girls, knowing you are there with them makes all the difference!”
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our pups! I It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dependable sitter or caretaker for their animals/Pups.”
“Barbara did a great job with my two older dogs. This was a fairly last-minute request, I lost my original coverage for my dogs the following day. Barbara came that evening to meet me and the dogs. The midday visit next day went perfectly. Very reliable and took great care of my "kids".”
“Abigail was great! She was very communicative and friendly. She went above and beyond with my 80 lb pup and he loved her company. Would definitely book Abigail again!”
“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”
“While one cat had recent surgery and recovering nicely now, Jessica was game for taking on extra care regarding this. Ended up not being needed. Also, she was great with responding to a sudden need for more visits on very short notice. Truly appreciated this. Thank you Jessica!”
“Ixia was absolutely wonderful with our Pointer/Pit mix, Crimson. This was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. (We had to take a trip out of state on short notice.) From the get-go, Ixia was very professional and attentive during our phone consultation - taking notes, checking details, learning the little intricacies of Crimson's routines. Crimson also has a torn ACL, so special care has to be taken during daily activities to ensure the injury doesn't worsen. Ixia was very reliable, responsive, and communicative with us the entire time. She was on time for every visit, sent us pictures of our pup, played with her, spent lots of time in the yard, and even went above and beyond to accommodate some extra drop-ins we hadn't originally planned. We were very impressed and thankful for the loving care that she provided our animals and by her professionalism and communication. 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Ixia!”
“Tara was amazing with our dog, Bubbles! We needed a last-minute visit, and Tara was quick to respond. She sent updates and photos, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away. We’ll definitely be booking Tara again!”
About: I love animals so much, and nothing compares to the personality and happiness that comes from dogs! I love going for walks outside, and letting them go on their own scent journey— They deserve happiness and excitement!!! I’d love to play and give any medicines. I can assist in training or learning. With FULL weekend availability- I currently am working on moving towards a part-time job (I am employed Full Time currently) from 5pm onwards during weekdays are also available. Please message me for questions!!!! I live in an apartment, with a small yard. Though, there is a massive park walking distance from my apt! and I would love to walk the doggies wherever they want to go / are used to! and in the clients home, I’d love to make sure everyone is safe and sound and gate are closed before pets go out.
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.

New Bedford cat parents share their Rover experiences
This is our first time using Rover and we have to say there isn't a better option for our precious Lacey. We chose Barbara for her experience. After reading her profile and reviews we thought she'd be a perfect candidate. Lacey can be affectionate but often times she's to independent to bother. With the meet and greet she seemed comfortable and even allowed Barbara to pet her which usually takes some time but it was a sign. Everything went so well. We felt at ease knowing Lacey was comfortable with Barbara. We loved all of her pictures and we could tell that Lacey happy with Barbara's company. We're so thankful everything went as well as it did and we truly appreciate how caring and patient Barbara was with her. We would definitely recommend Barbara she really exceeded out expectations.
Abigail was wonderful at taking care of our two cats while we were away! It was our first time using a cat-sitter and we were a bit anxious about it at first, but as soon as we met Abigail we were put at ease. She is extremely professional and communicative, and she definitely has a calming presence among shy animals. Our cats don't usually like interacting with strangers, but I could tell from the photos and videos of her visits that they were showed much more curiosity for than fear of Abigail. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was always willing to go above and beyond, including a last-minute extra visit when I wanted to make sure there was still enough litter in their box. We will feel much more comfortable traveling in the future knowing that our cats will be well taken care of by Abigail!
