About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, and feed their pets. I also have two energetic Labradoodles of my own who always need exercise, playtime, and love — so I know how important it is to give dogs the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a gentle senior or a bouncy pup, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well-loved! Alongside working at a restaurant and training for my college sport, I’m using Rover as part of my summer job while I’m home from school. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I care for my two Labradoodles daily, so walks and quality time with dogs are already built into my routine. I’m available early mornings and late afternoons a few days a week, as well as on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pup gets the care they need! At my home, your dog will be in a safe and loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly Labradoodles who love having company! I always make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and part of the pack — whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own home. I follow any instructions closely and treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Samantha helped to drop visit our cats for a week. She was kind and easy to communicate, also was experienced for cat daily care. She even helped us to bring in the packages while we’re away. Appreciate her help and care!”
“Sam was amazing with our shy cat! Each visit he warmed up a little more until he was purring and cuddling. Sam sent adorable progress photos and took time to locate him under the furniture. We were so impressed with Sam’s undaunted patience, and we now feel comfortable knowing our cat is in good hands with her. She fed him on schedule and kept the area tidy. We couldn’t recommend Sam enough, and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Sam!!! - Diana and Brendan (and Pepper)”
About: I've had cats at home for my entire life while also getting very familiar with the neighborhood dogs! I've been taking care of my direct neighbors dog for the past 3 summers while she has been working, taking her out 2-3 times a day. I've worked with dog/house sitting for almost 7 years now and adore being able to ease worries while family is away. I am a college student home for the summer trying to pick up some extra work while back at home. My availability is very open and with notice I should be able to help! I am familiar in dealing with reactive dogs, in the house and on walks. I am comfortable walking almost any dog on leash, I don't mind being pulled a bit haha! I have no fear of barking or generally loud dogs either. As far as cats go I love to cuddle up on the couch or simply let them do their own thing, as cats usually do!
About: I have been doing drop in visits and walking for a local family and I would love to do it more often. I have always had pets in my life. I currently have four dogs and three cats. Because of them I have experience with grooming both dogs and cats, dog walking, feeding medications, cleaning litter boxes, handling large or reactive dogs, training, and more. I have been doing drop by visits and walking for a client from 2:00 to 2:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays but before or after I am always available. I would love to do walking and drop-by visits more often. I really like working with both dogs and cats and would love a more scheduled and rewarding job involving dog walking and visiting. My dogs have a fenced in yard and free roam of the house. They are walked regularly and love to go to the beach and hike. My cats also love to go outside, but only if they are leashed and can be supervised. They have beds and litter boxes throughout the house, a water fountain, and can eat whenever they are hungry.
About: I am a proud mother of three grown children as well as an elementary school teacher. I am innately nurturing and have considered my own pets, as well as those pets I have cared for as if they were family. I am also a homeowner and understand the importance of caring for both. As a teacher, my schedule provides more flexibility. I have a part time summer job in the mornings Mondays through Fridays, which allows me to care for your pets full time on the weekends, as well as Mondays through Friday from 1:00 pm. During the school year I am also available most weekends. I believe it's important for pets to maintain their normal daily routine, and will work on gaining an in-depth understanding of their schedules, needs, and habits before the scheduled pet sitting dates. Most importantly, your pet(s) is/are my focus while I am pet sitting.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I have a 15 year old Westie, Bella, who is my best friend and has a feisty diva-like personality despite her older age. I have grown up bathing, feeding, walking, sitting, and playing with her and other family/friends dogs and I aim to provide the best care for a dog of any personality like they are my own. I am 2023 college graduate from Southern New Hampshire University and am currently working as a baker at Crumbl. I aim to dog walk as a way to stay active doing something I love and helping out fellow dog lovers. * Please message me about availability; unfortunately I have inconsistent days off and my work schedule is released week to week. I try to be as flexible as possible I have always been surrounded by different types of dogs and aim to learn each of their qualities to best care for them. I am certain our time together will be safe and trustworthy.
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.

“Maddison was wonderful ?”
Grace E.
“I have known Grace since she was 14 years old and she's always been extremely responsible. When I adopted my dog Summer 3 1/2 years ago, she and Grace quickly bonded, and it's no wonder - Grace adores animals and is just a lovely human in general. Over the past 2 years she has cared for Summer during stretches of time when she was home from college and I was in need of a better situation for Summer while I was teaching further from home. Grace is fantastic with Summer - she would not only take her for potty breaks but also give her sniff time and walks depending on weather and my pup's needs. When Grace cares for her, I know she will be safe, tired and happy! They adore each other and I know that with Grace, Summer's well-being and safety is paramount. She takes care of my girl as if she were her own dog, and that is worth ten times what I pay her! Do not hesitate to hire Grace to care for your pets - you'll be grateful you found this gem of person and pet-lover! ~ Chris D.”

Mary D.
“Marybeth babysits our dog, Sasha when we go away. Sasha isn’t a fan of all people. She is a rescue and a bit anxious. Marybeth is the only person who Sasha prefers even over her family. We are able to go away knowing that Sasha will be loved and cared for even better than usual. Marybeth comes highly recommended. She goes above and beyond with walks and play time.”
Emma G.
“I'm delighted to share my daughter's caring of our pet's over the years. We owned a Cat (Jack) when Emma was younger. She took on the responsibility at a young age of caring for Jack. We currently have a Westie (Bella), we got her when Emma was 8 years old. At this young age she was able to help out with training and care for Bella and she taught her all her tricks! As time went on she has taken care of Bella when I am away from home. She takes her to vet appointments, on walks and even cleans up when Bella is sick. We also owned a Hedgehog (GusGus), she took caring of feeding, cleaning the cage and playing with GusGus. She loves animals, always has. She is a caring pet owner. Her love, compassion and sense of responsibility are exemplary.”
Rebecca B.
“Becca is such an animal lover! She’s very good with handling all types of behaviors. I have a slightly reactive dog and she’s amazing with him. Thanks for spending time with my dogs and treating them like your own!”
