“Stephanie did an excellent job dropping in to take care of our cat! Pepper is elderly and very timid but warmed up quickly. Stephanie went above and beyond and even brought in some big packages that were delivered while we were gone. She was great at sending pictures and updating us on how Pepper was doing while we were out of town for a week. We would definitely trust Stephanie to take care of Pepper next time we are away!”
“Kristen did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone, which included giving her medication twice a day. She sent lots of pictures and our cat loved Kristen. We will definitely ask her to watch our cat again in the future!”
“We are so grateful to have found Haleigh S. to do drop ins for our very social kitty while we were away. Haleigh S. provided thoughtful, detailed Rover cards and pictures and we could tell our kitty loved getting to spend that time with her. We loved the souvenir polaroid waiting for us when we returned home. We will definitely reach out to Haleigh S. for our future drop in needs.”
About: I’ve always had experience with cats and dogs; I specialize in longer walks, which some may constitute as hikes! My dog is a bit too small and old for hikes but I would love to help other dogs get that energy out in a beneficial way. I have experience with senior dogs, and some puppy experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am a college student focusing on my education which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to take care of pets! I can crate dogs if that is a preference although I am very open to just spending time sitting or playing with them as well!
“Hannah was amazing! Super communicative before and during the booking. She treated our cats like her own and was on top of all of their needs. Getting plenty of photos every day showed the level of comfort and care she provided. You can tell they genuinely enjoyed her company. Will book again!”
“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.”
“Isabelle is always very sweet and attentive with our older pup. We were excited to have her return for a drop in visit to care for both our older pup and her new puppy sister. She was very communicative and responsive, and I know the girls were well cared for. The picture updates were super cute and appreciated as well!”
“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!!”
“Gavin was wonderful with my dogs. He arrived on time, made sure they got plenty of outside time, and even brought in a package from my front steps. I am very glad to have Gavin available to watch my boys when I need to be away.”
“Fern was amazing! First rover i’ve ever gotten that i would book to sit twice. I have been burnt before in the past sadly but Fern sent so many photos and was so communicative and went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend her for your pet sitting needs! The cats loved her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have also grown and had almost every household pet you can think of! I live in Portsmouth NH. I work from home 3 out of 5 days but can be very flexible about not going into the office. I have my own vehicle and am able to do drop ins during the day! I typically spend at least 30 minutes to an hour for drops. This would consist of letting your dog outside when I get there/ walking them. Then feeding them their meals and making sure they get to go back outside before I leave. I do not let dogs play 30 minutes before or after they eat just to be safe. Of If I am spending the night with your pet, I am more than happy to hang out at your house and watch a movie with your fur babies!
About: I have had my own dogs and have taken care of others dogs for over 10 years. I have lengthy experience working with very large dogs ( great Danes, shepherds) and very small dogs ( dachshunds, Chihuahuas). I enjoy working with young, hyper puppies in need of somebody to keep up with their energy, as well as elderly dogs in need of somebody to provide them peace! I’m currently working part-time and finishing my college degree online, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! I am available all days of the week at whatever time best suits your schedule. I have many years of experience working with animals so I am more than happy to care for your pet in whichever way you would prefer. I am able to crate all animals, walk all animals, administer medications, and whatever else is needed.
