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 :)

“Heather was great. I have a very large great dane puppy and she did a great job handling him. This was my first experience and leaves me comfortable to move forward with more care.”


About: What sets me apart is my deep love for animals and hands-on experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are truly part of the family, so I understand how important it is to provide attentive, loving care. Whether it’s training a playful pup or gently supporting an older dog, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work fully remote, which means I’m home all day to give your pup the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is not to leave them alone for long and to ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. My own dogs sleep in my room and are treated like family—and your pup will be too. Being home allows me to provide the kind of consistent care and companionship that helps dogs feel secure, loved, and right at home. In my home, your pets will be welcomed into a warm, safe, and loving environment where they’ll receive constant attention, playtime, and gentle care—just like my own. I understand how important our pets are to us, and I’m committed to treating yours like family. I’ll also provide regular updates and as much communication as you need, so you can feel completely at ease while you're away.

With years of hands-on experience walking, boarding, and caring for dogs and cats, I know how important it is to find someone you can count on to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — including my sister’s calm and social pup, Charlie, who gets along with everyone he meets. I currently share my home with my playful puppy Zach and my gentle, cuddly cat Halo. Halo is content relaxing in her cozy spots, while Zach loves to play and keeps our home full of joy.

Starting 4/22/2025: All boarding stays now include complimentary grooming upon request — a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing — so your pet comes home feeling clean and refreshed. Let’s make your pet’s stay feel like a second home — safe, playful, and full of love. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! If you're new to this... I am gifting you a $20 off your first booking!

“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 taken care of animals for over 20 years. I am very passionate about animals and their well-being. I know from experience how stressful it can be having someone else care for your loved ones, that's why I make sure that the owner, and animals, feel comfortable at all times. I treat every furry friend with respect and give them lots of attention and love. I'm always open to new ideas as I know that every situation and animal is different. I go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy! I love including pet owners by sharing videos and photos! I am very reliable and trustworthy, I have two vehicles, so there's no "breaking down." For those pets that come to my house to visit, I also have a fenced in yard where they can run around in. I'm very easy-going and aim to please, so any questions or concerns please don't ever hesitate to talk to me about them! I look forward to working with you and your pets! I am available Monday through Friday, but there can be exceptions. I will try to accommodate you and your loved ones as best as possible! At home, I have a fenced in yard. I have four daughters at home still who absolutely love all animals! My oldest daughter is also a full-time dog walker and loves it!

About: I have had 3 dogs and 1 cat in my lifetime. I have been asked by multiple neighbors to watch their pets while their away. I love to take them outside for walks aswell as play with them. I am a high school student so time is very limited for me. I have available Monday and Tuesday after 4! Availability is also possible on weekends. I have a fenced yard at my house for safe play. I do not have any pets currently so there will be no possible tension between other pets.

About: With being between jobs, I am home most of the time. Your pup will have a friend to play with during the whole stay with my dog, Fenway. I am currently in between jobs so I am home pretty much all of the time. I do have a dog at home. He’s a six year old fixed male husky. He’s super playful still but also loves to sleep. We go to the Derry dog park pretty often but we can skip it if you’re not comfortable with it. I may not have a fenced in yard however I do have a side yard with a screw in the ground 30ft runner that my dog uses and can be utilized for your dog as well. I do have a large crate if needed I can set up. Your pup is more than welcome on the couch or bed as my dog is a bed/couch dog but I can also make sure they stay off if needed. We have SO many dog toys so you won’t need to bring your own however I know dogs have favorite/comfort toys (mine doesn’t destroy toys so your pups toys would be safe.)

About: Hello there!! Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a college student and a dog lover! I’ve taken care of dogs before for family, friends and of course my own furry babies! I have experience with different size dogs, different personalities and different ages. I’m a gentle and loving person, so I know your dog will have fun 💕 I’m a full time college student, so my schedule changes every semester (every 5 months or so). But I can definitely fit pet care in my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have experience with dogs that have anxiety, so that wouldn’t be a problem! I love to play, so we’ll have fun play sessions

“This is my first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience than we had with Heather! My son loves getting the daily check in picture of our pug, Coco! Thanks again Heather & Rover!”


About: Hello everyone, I’m new here! I’ve grown up and have taken care of pets my entire life, I have a dog of my own and have fostered many breeds and ages of dogs through Last Hope K9 as well since 2017 (more than 100 dogs saved). I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them as much love and attention as possible! I believe pets are a big part of your family. As a school counselor, my day job is to take care of families, and that’s what I’m looking to do here too! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and look forward to taking care of your furry friend! I’m a school counselor, so I’m available after work/at night time typically after 3pm for any of your pet needs. I’m available most weekends. I also have all school vacations, summers off and available for holiday sitting. Me and my husband have a fully fenced in yard in a safe, and quiet neighborhood on the Haverhill, MA/Plaistow, NH line. I have a very friendly and low/medium energy dog of my own who loves other pets and will definitely keep yours company! I always want to try to copy and paste what they are familiar with while you're away, so that they are as comfortable as possible. This looks different for every dog, and we are flexible to that. Safety is a huge priority at our house. Dogs are never left unattended in our fenced in back yard, me or my husband will always be outside watching them. We also never let the dogs off leash if we take them to the public park/walking trail across the street from our house.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years and am a vet tech. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with most breeds. As well as anxious, fearful, aggressive and happy go lucky dogs. I can accommodate to most situations due to my experience. Having been in the vet tech field and a doggy daycare your family member will be in the best hands. A walk by me is full of fun, socialization and overall a good time. I treat every animal like a family member because that is what they are!! I cannot wait to meet your loved one. Please let me know how I can help you and make you feel comfortable. Thank you. I current work Tuesday - Thursdays with some Fridays added. I hope to take care of your friend on the weekend so you can have fun! Safety is one of my bigger concerns. From making sure your pet is leashed up correctly, to making sure they’re safe on the walk and when they get home.

“Anna is an amazing sitter. I accidentally left a pop tart accessible to my dog while in the rush of preparation for a trip … and my dog not only ate it, but got sick … she cleaned everything up, was extremely professional, and I highly recommend her for her grace and for how happy she made my sick dog. Five stars!!!!”


“Paige did a fantastic job watching our two kittens for two weeks while we were out of the country. She gave daily updates with photos and was quick to communicate when she found a potential issue with the automatic feeders. Both of our kittens quickly warmed up to her and we will absolutely use her services again in the future! :)”


About: I’ve taken care of and owned cats and dogs most of my life so I have plenty of experience with feeding, walking, playing with pets. I currently only work part time so I have plenty of time to care/walk/play with your pet. I would love to help fit your needs. I have a big yard and a friendly Golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and play with if you would like. Or I can play with your pet in your fenced/ not fenced yard. I can also easily crate train your dog if needed.

Lauren D.
“Lauren has been our primary cat sitter for several years now and we could not recommend her more highly! It's always hard to leave our cat, CJ, at home when we travel, but it's a comfort to know Lauren will take great care of her, making sure she has plenty of food, water, and socialization while we're away. She also sends us pictures and videos of CJ excitedly greeting her at the door and messages us updates whenever she visits. Lauren is also awesome with dogs, as she has two of her own with some unique care needs. They're two of the happiest and best cared-for boys you'll ever meet!”

“I can't recommend Carolyn enough! She took excellent care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt confident and comfortable leaving my pet in her care.She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Nug can be a bit shy, but Carolyn was patient and kind, and soon they were best friends. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind during my trip.

Newton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is an absolute gem! She’s incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for. Our doggy was so happy and well cared for while we were away — and Emily kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. She's reliable, responsive, and clearly goes above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!
