“Michael is super flexible and works around what works best for me! I am super appreciate of his last minute willingness to help me and his timely responses. Grateful for all the cute pictures as well! Thank you!!”


“I’ve been using Kristen for almost 2 months 4 days a week. Kristen is reliable and very flexible with my schedule. She has a nice relationship with my dog and knows how to handle multiple dogs at the same time. Kristen’s uses sound judgment when all the dogs play.”


“Collette is the best. She responds quickly to requests and is always willing to help. She has taken such great care of our french bulldog and we would never hesitate to hire her again! She leaves great notes and pictures, especially when she thinks our pup is having an “off” day. You can tell she really enjoys working with pets.”


“I would give Laura 10 stars if I could. She made our vacation stress free. Even when I needed to add an impromptu second visit mid week, it was no problem. We have two English Setters and one is a little anxious with people she doesn’t know and they both loved Laura. We also loved the daily pictures and updates she sent. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be contacting her again. Thank you so much Laura!”


“Our dog is so well cared for with Charles and Teresa and he seems to have so much fun! They are extremely accommodating and communicative and give us many details about their visits, including great pictures. We highly recommend Charles and Teresa and will definitely use their services in the future!”


About: I am a full time production coordinator ant a promotional branding company, and like to spend my evenings with my dog, or anyone else’s! I have a 7 year old Doberman who is very friendly and playful and has lots of energy, and I love doing things with him every day. This made me want to work with other dogs as well in my spare time. I have watched my own dogs for years and dogs for my friends, as well as trained my own dogs. I love to exercise and be active and it’s more fun to bring the dog! I will always have something fun planned for dog walks/house sits and make sure your dog has lots of fun and has everything they need! They will be very well taken care of. I also have a 1 year old kitten, and can work with cats as well! I currently work full time, 7am-3:30pm, so I am available weekdays after work, and just about all day on weekends! I am flexible and can work timings out as best I can in the mornings before 7 if needed as well. I care for pets just as the owner would want! I care for my own dog like he is my child, and accommodate to others dogs as they are used to in their own routines etc. I have lots of experience with dog walking and dog sitting, and enjoy it!

“She occasionally has a stubborn streak even with us. I just sit and wait her out when she does that. We just started her in some joint products as we think she’s a little sore from walking a lot. She loves being outside, but we are monitoring her activity some. I’m sure Monday she will start to get used to you Vs us, thanks very much!”


“Karen is so caring. Our puppy just loves her! She provides a little report from the visit and also sends cute pictures! I feel at ease being at work all day knowing that Karen will take great care of my dog twice a day. Would highly recommend.”


About: My first experience taking care of dogs came at the age of 14 when my family got a rescue black lab puppy. Around the same time, I also started taking care of my friends' pets when they were away. Ever since then, I've become a huge dog lover and have become quite familiar with their different needs and signals. Whether they are playful, couch potatoes, big babies, or outside-lovers, I'm there for them! I am doing this as a part-time gig for the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility! The only times that don't work for me are Thursday and Friday mornings. I can take care of your pet on weekends and (most) holidays. I know meeting new people can be overstimulating for some dogs, especially with the combination of owners being away. I focus on being gentle and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I also recognize every dog is unique and has their own habits/needs, which I take into account as well.

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

“Teresa comes to let Sully and Quinn out daily. I am sure they are so happy to see her and have some playtime in the afternoon. Love the daily reports and pictures! So Thankful to have her.”


“Took good care of the cats during drop in visits. I wasn't worried at all while I was away, because Janine sent pictures each visit. Things were well cleaned. Definitely recommend!”


About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, aquariums and canaries. I have had the pleasure of having several generations of yorkies in my life. My last little Rosie lived for 17 years and enjoyed a loving and pampered life. I love all animals and would care for your pet as if it were my own. I live in a small antique house located a couple of blocks from the Merrimack River. There is a beautiful walking path close to my home that welcomes dog walkers. I have a small brick paved yard that is fenced and secure.Your pet will be pampered and spoiled in my care. We love to go to the beach and have close access to a great dog friendly beach as well as the dog park down the street. In addition to being a pet sitter, I am a realtor, cooking coach and recipe tester. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen which is adjacent to my enclosed yard. Most pets like to be close to me so I always seem to have company when I am cooking. Your pet will feel safe and loved in my home. I know from personal experience how important it is to know your pet will receive the special care and love that they are accustomed to at home. Please note that there may be extra charge for holidays and time after 24 hour period. Custom quotes available. I do work as a realtor but mostly from home. When I do leave your pets will be safe with run of the kitchen and dining room. Otherwise they will be by my side. I am home most of the time and never more than 2 hours a day away. I have a secure fenced in yard and of course will provide several walks a day. I prefer a small dogs that are hopefully trained to do their business outside but having had Yorkies for years I know there are occasional accidents. I will provide them with loving care and lots of hugs and kisses always.

“Mimi is a great pet sitter! She took very good care of our two cats when we were away, and they liked her as well. She is kind, responsive, and reliable. We would definitely ask Mimi for sitting them again. Highly recommended!”


“Sara was wonderful. Harry and Will were happy and healthy when we returned home after a week on vacation. And She kept us connected with daily photos. We will definitely have her come back to take care of our boys!”

About: I’ve grown up with and rescued dogs for the past 25 years and currently have a high energy Chesapeake/Border Collie mix and 12 yr old chocolate lab. I believe the best behaved and happiest dogs are those who have regular exercise and stimulation. The best part of my day is spending time playing and interacting with dogs!! I deeply respect individual needs and instructions provided by pet owners who entrust me with their pet. I’m happy to provide references and meet with you to ensure you’re comfortable with me as your walker and/or sitter. I am able to go as fast pace or as leisurely as your pup needs! I truly enjoy walking, running, playing and interacting with any breed and size dog. I am flexible with a variety of personalities and behaviors. Please let me know of any behaviors you think I should know so I can make the time with your pet a super positive experience. Medications given orally or otherwise are not a problem, I’m comfortable with medication administration. I've recently left a 30 year professional career to discover "phase 2" of life. Care and training of dogs is where I'd like to spend much of my time alongside gardening, learning and community. I have a flexible schedule to meet your needs for the care and attention of your dog. I walk my dogs to the beach or take them to parks to run everyday. Typically we go out at least 4 times a day for a total of 2 hours or more.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent many years caring for pets in a home environment—growing up with two cats and a sweet family dog who truly felt like part of the family. I’ve always been the go-to person among friends and family for feeding, walking, and spending time with their pets when they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your furry loved ones—and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, calm companionship, or just someone to play fetch with, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and treated like my own. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to meet new pets and their people—and I look forward to helping however I can! My schedule is very flexible (usually available at all hours), which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening feeding, I make time for each pet and treat every visit with the attention it deserves. I always treat pets and their homes with the utmost respect. I follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and loved. I never leave a pet unsupervised outside, and I clean up after them to keep things tidy. My goal is to make the experience stress free for both the pet and the owner.
