“Sara was fabulous! Our dog was snuggled and cared for by Sara so beautifully. She communicated with us on the daily, and made sure our dog got good exercise and outdoor time. She also house sat and took amazing care of our house. Would highly recommend her and rebook her in the future!”
“Jeffrey was so great at house sitting Gwen! He arrived on time, sent text updates, played with and fed our little fur baby, and made us feel at ease! Thanks, Jeffrey, I would recommend you to anyone!”

About: I have been volunteering in animal shelters for the past 6 years and I am a vet tech student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I can administer injections and handpill. I also have my own senior, diabetic dog at home and have no problem taking care of dogs that need a little more attention and time. I also have experience handling hamsters and mice and would be more than happy to meet the needs of any rodent! I am currently a university student (studying to be a vet tech!), but whenever I am home I am free to take care of as many pets as needed! I can provide care within your home and I don't mind walking a dog in any kind of terrain. I will treat your animals as if they're my own and their health and safety will come before all else.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Hailey provided to our cat, Max. This was our first time using Rover and we got lucky finding Hailey. We liked her when we met for the in-person interview. She did a fantastic job taking care of Max for the two weeks we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was being well cared for and loved. She kept us updated with pictures of Max. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I live with my dog peanut for the past four years, and I love him more than anything. I know how important pets are to people and when my family isn’t around, I dread leaving him alone. I hope I can provide I’m going to you a great service. I work from home with flexible so other than Saturday from 10 to 2 and Sunday at five (Sunday is flexible church is at different hours) I’m always available for you. I have no fenced yard so I understand the worries of the road. I take my dog out with a leash until he pees and poops then I play with him until he’s too exhausted and wants to go on in. If you have any specific dog necessities just let me know what they are and I’ll get them done
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, built around consistent feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I set aside dedicated time each day and week to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. This routine helps pets feel secure while allowing me to provide reliable, high-quality care. I provide attentive, compassionate care by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in a familiar environment. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind.
“Lana is the best of the best! She is super reliable and communicative! She went above and beyond to stick to our proposed schedule which required extended care and visits to our house, and our dog seemed very comfortable with her. Would love to work with Lana again!”

“Sarah - was amazing! Our two dogs were so happy with her and were so happy when we got home. In addition, she was unexpectedly snowed in with them and took wonderful care of them and the house. We will be using her again and if anyone needs a personal recommendation, we are more than happy to endorse Sarah!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old! I have had many dogs myself but I also helped my friends care for their animal! I have a small dog myself and I know how important it is to provide a healthy and fun lifestyle for your furry friend! I am currently working part time so I am free most weekends and weekdays, 11am-3pm to walk your dog and drop in on your furry friend! I love going on nice walks especially with a furry baby to keep me company! I also love dropping in to make sure your dog or cat is safe and well! I currently am not offering boarding.

“Courtney is great. She took great care of all of my pups and was incredibly communicative throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone who wants to leave their dogs in good hands.”

“Kristin was great. She let me know what was going on with the boys during my vacation. I appreciated the flow of pics through my trip to see how my boys were doing. The communication with Kristin from the beginning of the process to the end was excellent.”
“Leaving our dog Molly with Adam was like leaving her with a family member. Our dog could not have gotten better care. He sent updates and pictures every day and it made us feel our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend. Will definitely use Adam in the future.”

At the last minute due to change in plans we found ourselves in need of a dog and house sitter for one night while we were away. I reached out to Jeffrey and he immediately got back to me with his availability. He was came out to the house a week before to meet the dogs and get any information helpful while sitting. He showed up the day of our departure early and communicated throughout his stay. He sent pictures and made us feel like our pups were well cared for. Jeffrey seems to truly love animals and was very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him for house sitting!
