About: I have grown up with pets, and the responsibilities that come with them. I love animals and always care for them like one of mine. My daily schedule ends by 1 everyday so I have plenty of time after classes to hangout and care for your pets. We will have a great time. Your pets safety and care comes first above all. I will follow your wants and needs when taking care of your baby. (we’ll have some fun too of course)
“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”
About: I started my first dog walking business at the age of ten, “Paws on Petsitting” complete with business cards and all! I love to spend time outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and what better than to have the company of a furry friend?! I am a passionate caregiver and will never leave without a few extra treats and lots of belly rubs. If personal space is your pets MO, we can do that too! I love to get to know animals and their unique personalities and it brings me lots of joy in the day to get to give them company. Communication is a key part of my services and I want to make sure that both you and your pet are comfortable and confident! I am recent graduate from Hampshire College with a BA in photography and plant biology. That means that you will receive lots of pictures from our visit and that I am highly self motivated and communicative. I am a barista/waitress and generally can pet sit in the mornings/afternoons and am free to fill up my days off! Exercise is always a part of my day whether it just be a walk in the sun, or a trail run and I would love to bring your pet along. I am very reliable and working in the service industry for 8 years now I never leave a job unfinished or without double checking my work. I am sure to not only take general safety measures, but also leave a space clean and full of love!
About: I have loved dogs since I can remember—I used to read dog encyclopedias as a kid! My own dog and sidekick, Miguel, is a cute rescue with a pronounced underbite. He lives with my family far away, so I am excited to provide services (walking, dog sitting) for pets nearby! Over the summer, I am working remotely and thus have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am never away from home for more than two hours at a time. All dogs who have stayed at my apartment have been treated as my own; no couch or bed is off limits! 3+ walks a day, and a dog park nearby!
About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and taking care of them. Now that I don’t have any pets of my own, I’d love to care for someone else’s! I have dog sat for all kinds of dogs and always enjoyed the time spent with them. I currently work as a full time teacher, so I have time for pet care in the evenings most days of the week and even weekends. I care for pets by trying to understand what they need and giving them lots of love and attention. I am also fit enough to lift a dog if needed.
“Dorjee was wonderful! She was kind, dependable and my dog loved her. Sunny was excited to see her each day. We really appreciate her and look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Catherine was perfect. She was a quick to respond and offered to come by for a meet and greet. My miniature poodle immediately adored her and she clearly has a way with animals. We scheduled 2 30min walk/hangs and she followed all my feeding instructions perfectly and even gave my dog some extra hang time. I am so lucky to have found a great reliable kind honest dog walker like Catherine!”
About: I have lots of experience house/pet sitting and can provide multiple references. I love all animals and will dedicate time to making them feel comfortable with me. I am currently unemployed - looking to fill tons of time with pet care! If you need someone for a longer job or last minute help, let me know! I spend lots of time with the pets I watch and I am happy to provide any specific needs: dietary, scheduling, playtime quirks! Very committed to keeping your pup or cat happy.
About: I have spent years caring for a variety of animals. I have experience caring for birds, turtles, frogs, cats, and dogs. I love all animals and I would love to help you out and show your babies some love! I’m currently a student at UMass but I only have classes on Monday (late afternoon), Tuesdays, and Thursdays. That leaves all of Saturday’s, Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for me to take care of your pets! If these times don’t work for you, I would love to work something out. I have done most of my pet care at the pet owner’s residence, but I would be more than willing to have your baby stay at my house. I have a large backyard with lots of play room as well as no other pets in my home.
About: I am devoted to taking care of animals the best way I can possibly can. I will treat any animal as my own! I want to make the parents feel at ease and comfortable with my availability and dedication to your pet/s I am a 2 person household. Between both adults there will be someone home 24/7 for your convenience. Our goal is to aim for satisfaction and unconditional attention/love to your pet. I have a open yard and I can accommodate to your home rules and I can adapt your training skills into my home. What works for you and your pet works for me!
About: I was blessed with a feline friend at the age of 2. Although I do not remember all of our times together, she has been by my side through all of life's up's and down's. We have even experienced the responsibility of sharing our home with 2 more companions: a Maltese and a Chihuahua! It is quite a random pool of different beings! Nevertheless, we all seem to get along. I do all I can to ensure their well being is top notch. You really grow a love for your companion(s) and it's hard to not care for them. I am full time and have no restrictions to my schedule. I am available as early as 6:00am and can accommodate appointments during sundown. I am easy to communicate with and straightforward with negotiations. It is a dogs fantasy: a large neighborhood with quiet streets to explore, 2 nearby parks to frolic and play, with a dog park frequently visited by other furry friends and their owners.
“Daniel was really sweet with our high energy lab. He took Ziggy off our hands amidst the chaos of moving day and brought him home happy and tired, which made such a difference for us! We are happy to be moved into the area now and will definitely use Daniel again.”
About: As both a dog walker/sitter and a pet owner myself, I understand the needs and concerns you may have while away from your furr baby. I’m dedicated to keeping you updated throughout the process with photos, videos, and regular communication. My goal is to ensure your pet has the best time possible and to give you peace of mind, so you never have to worry. With two dogs and a bearded dragon of my own, I bring hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs and taking them on local fun trail adventures. My goal is to ensure every dog has a joyful and fulfilling experience. I’m available to pet sit on weekdays, weekends, and some holidays, providing reliable care to your furry friend’s needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! I’m available most of the time and willing to work around your schedule. Just let me know your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them, ensuring both you and your pet have a smooth and stress free experience. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, currently live in an apartment and can provide 3-4 potty breaks throughout the day, along with 2 daily walks.
“She has been on time All the , and very curtious . My 28 month old Yurkipoo who's kinda aggressive took her only minutes well 20 My Rollen was setting next to her . I sure have been lucky that I dialed her up. Thank you?”
About: Grew up with dogs and cats. Raised, trained, and explored with my own yellow lab for over a decade. Love bringing joy to canine/feline friends! Im currently a stay-at-home dad of preschoolers. I’m free most weekdays and weekends, depending on plans. Hours between 9am-2pm work best, although there is room for flexibility. Have a cozy house with a large back yard and am close to many great walk options, including Puffers Pond. I like to get a feel for individual animals and adjust care depending on needs. Many friends and family members have praised my calming approach when dealing with pet care/play.

Anna has been walking my dog,Obi, for a couple of weeks now and he already feels very comfortable with her. She sends photos of every walk and I can tell Obi is relaxed. I've been very relieved to have found a patient and caring walker for my boy. Thank you, Anna! Zach and I appreciate you!
There was a miscommunication on my end for my booking and Sophie was so kind and understanding and did everything to make sure my dog still got what he needed. She goes above and beyond and truly cares for the animals she watches. I’m so thankful for Sophie’s help!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North Amherst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Amherst. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
