About: Hi! I am a Biomedical Sciences Pre-Vet Major at UNH, and have had animals my entire life. I have experience handling dogs of all ages (newborn to senior) which includes obedience training, grooming and raising. I've been the main caretaker of my dogs since I was 10 years old. I have experience pet sitting client dogs, cats, horses, goats and pigs, although I am new to Rover! Previously, I get clients through word of mouth and Facebook. I have 3 dogs, and have raised 3 litters of puppies! I have worked closely with a dog trainer/walker and have helped out before when her clients were in need of a sitter. Fostering dogs was also a big part of my life growing up, I helped home 14 dogs throughout my adolescence! There was a time where I even helped rehabilitate a baby bird! I have spent over 70 hours shadowing and interning at Bulger Veterinary Hospital in Lawrence (MA), getting practice handling and inspecting dogs and cats. I am currently a full-time student at UNH, but home for the summers! I am available most days of the week, but do work part time at an ice cream stand, and in the past I adjust my hours around my clients needs (to the best of my ability). When visiting a client's home, I always make sure to check with the client on where keys are kept, which doors are to be used/locked and the typical routine. I try to maintain a calm environment as to reduce the stress of the animal, by using a calm tone and keeping an eye on body language to maintain boundaries. I have my own car which expands the area in which I can take the dog for walks, while also allowing me to transport the animal in case of emergency. This past summer I enjoyed taking one of my clients to different walking trails and dog friendly locations throughout my area. At my own house, I utilize crates and baby gates to provide safe, calm, separate spaces for rest while also allowing the opportunity for play.

About: Hi! I’m Alanna, a lifelong dog lover with both personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and I’ve worked as a shift lead at a pet store for over 2 years, where I also handle dogs in the grooming department. This means I’m very comfortable working with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including anxious or high-energy dogs. I have experience with handling, basic grooming support, and reading dog behavior, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work part-time and take most of my college classes online, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I always adjust my care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule to minimize stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and provide regular updates. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment with constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My experience working in a pet store and handling dogs in grooming has made me confident with a wide range of temperaments, so safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.

“Annabelle took wonderful care of my dog, Abby, and my cat, Artemis, while I was away. Abby is recovering from a leg injury and has a detailed care routine, including medication and extra support getting around. Annabelle followed every instruction, made sure Abby received all of her medication, helped support her injured leg when needed, and cleaned up after her outside. She also made sure both pets always had clean food and water bowls, gave them plenty of attention and affection, and left everything neat and organized. When I got home, both Abby and Artemis were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Throughout the entire stay, Annabelle was incredibly responsible, responsive, and dependable. She kept me updated, replied quickly to messages, and paid attention to all of the little details. Caring for an injured dog takes extra patience and compassion, and she handled Abby’s recovery with genuine care. She treated my pets like they were her own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Annabelle truly went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her with Abby and Artemis again without hesitation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Alexa went above and beyond with our old girl. She is also the first sitter our dog has not barked at through every single visit. She was apparently comfortable enough to eat while we away! She gave Belle a lot of extra attention so our senior girl would not feel abandoned while we were on vacation. There were a lot of incredible pictures and even some cute videos. We will be highly recommending Alexa and if we go away again, she’s now her first choice. We really appreciate her taking time on this holiday weekend to take care of our girl.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and have worked at a horse barn for 4 years. You name it I’ll take care of it! I’m currently working part time but my work is pretty flexible if I get advance notice. I’ve been trying to build my pet sitting business so let me know! I care for animals in clients homes. I am insured and put forward the utmost effort to ensure both safety and fun for the animals in my care. My goal is to turn every interaction into a positive experience.

“Carli took great care of our two cats while we were away and communication was excellent. Will definitely book with her again! Thanks Carli :)”

“Eden did a great job getting to know and interact with our shy older kitty. He seemed to enjoy her petting and play time! We appreciated her messages and photos.”

About: Hey! I'm Luis. I've always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for them has never really felt like work to me. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality, whether they're the type that wants to burn off energy on a walk or would rather take things slow and soak up some attention. When I'm looking after someone's pet, they have my full attention. I take the responsibility seriously, stick to their routine as closely as possible, and make sure they're healthy, comfortable, and having a good time. I also make sure to send plenty of photo, video, and text updates because I know I'd appreciate those if someone were watching my own pet. Over the years I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including large breeds, senior dogs, and a few with special care instructions like topical or oral meds. Puppies aren't quite my specialty unless they are very well potty trained already, however I am unlikely to turn down untrained ones because of my love for animals. While dogs are my main focus, I've always gotten along well with cats too. They seem to decide I'm trustworthy pretty quickly... though I'd like to think my surprisingly convincing meow deserves at least a little of the credit 🤭 Right now I offer dog walks and drop-in visits. I don't have my driver's license just yet, so my travel range is limited to about 5 miles tops, but if you're within that range I'd be happy to give your pet the exercise, attention, and company they deserve while you're away! I am available every day full time, this is subject to change eventually as I am looking for a steadier job and will need to focus on other life tasks eventually. P.S If you book with me and notice my calendar change to unavailable for the dates you requested it's to avoid requests from multiple owners for those dates, I work by a first come first serve basis. Pets will adhere to all rules of my clients home unless exceptions are stated beforehand, this includes treat amount, furniture/room access, noise amount and/or anything else that comes to mind.

“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”

“Tegan has walked my dog for the last couple months while I'm at work and she has been so wonderful! She is on time and communicated well. I have a high energy husky and Tegan has done such a great job with her. I couldn't recommend her more!”
