“Amber was very professional and communicative. I really appreciated her daily updates about my cat. Additionally, Amber was extremely personable. I highly recommend.”

About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and four years of hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a dog kennel/daycare. I’m currently a first-year veterinary student at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, continuing to build my knowledge and skills in animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injectable medications such as insulin, and have experience caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, including dog-aggressive dogs. My own dog has these challenges, so I understand the importance of patience, proper handling, and creating a safe environment for every pet. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, as I have a dog and cat of my own. I’m passionate about providing pets with the same attentive, compassionate care I would want for my own. I’ll be starting my first year of veterinary school soon, so my exact class schedule is not set yet. I expect to have the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings, and I’ll plan my pet care schedule around my classes. My veterinary school schedule may vary from day to day, but I’m committed to being reliable and communicating clearly about my availability. I’ll also have flexibility on weekends and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize trust and keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For overnight stays, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions, including feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and exercise needs. With four years of veterinary clinic and dog daycare experience, along with my current veterinary education, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling a variety of personalities and needs. I also have experience with dogs who may be reactive or aggressive toward other dogs, so I take introductions, walks, and environmental safety seriously. My goal is for every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.
About: Hello, PLEASE READ. I am sorry in advance to any past clients but we are only ..... ACCEPTING DOGS THAT ARE EXTREMELY CAT-FRIENDLY AND HAVE ZERO HISTORY OF BITING :) Older dogs with lower energy or again, a dog that has always lived with cats.. That said, I have owned, cared for, and loved dogs for 36 years and would love to welcome your dog into our wonderful home. I promise to treat your furry friends as my own and protect their safety while promoting their well-being. I can assure you of my vigilance while you are either at work, on vacation, or just unavailable to walk your pet on any given day! With every walk or overnight, I will provide as many photos and updates as you prefer. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week, and look forward to building a long term relationship as a sitter for your pets. I always include free walks with boarding and extremely affordable baths. I can administer medication and also am flexible with any diet. Sparkling references and smiles are free; woof. My partner and I both work from home and are available all day to care for your animals. We have a fully fenced yard. Thank you! We have a fully fenced yard and a great open home where your pups will feel right at home. Safety is our top priority so for the time, we are only accepting very chill pups.
About: I had a 13 year old Labrador Retriever and take care of our 16 year old mutt and 16 year old Angora cat. I've had my pet sitting business almost 3 years and want all my clients's pets to feel like their owners never left the house. My wife works but I'm available to take care of your pets and make sure I'm able to pick up my kids on time at 3 pm. I do in client home pet sitting. I can obtain your house key, your garage code or any secure means you're comfortable with to take care of your pets safely and timely.
About: I grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, birds, rats, and fish. I love animals and care for them as members of my family. Beyond routine care of cats and dogs, I have had experience administering insulin and testing blood sugar in cats, clipping nails, bathing, administering ear medication and ear cleaning, assisted feeding, checking for constipation in cats, and ensuring pills are swallowed. If available my husband may join me for a dog walk if we confirm that’s OK and your animal likes men. Although my husband will definitely provide love and attention to your pet, I will be the one responsible for caring for your pet and will be the one you communicate with. I am an experienced pet sitter who cares deeply for all living beings. I am a recent SAHM to a baby under 1 year. I am looking to continue my love for animals while also caring for my baby. We would do best with low energy pets and/or pets who are friendly/familiar with children. Prior to having a baby I was very open to watch all personality types but for the safety of baby and pets, I will need to be a bit more selective when it comes to finding the right fit. Once we find a match, I know we will have an awesome time together :) We love going on walks and stopping to smell, look, and just enjoy the day! When in another person's home I follow instructions meticulously to meet your animals needs. When boarding at my home, I like to be as transparent as possible with what I can offer and what my space has available so we make a perfect match before your animal arrives.
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for our 2 kitties and administering meds while we were away. Very much appreciated the updates while we were away. The house was also spotless when we returned.”


About: I have been drawn to the world of animals since I was a young girl. I've always been the type of person to move a spider back outside. That's why I'm a perfect fit for you and your fuzzy family! Not only will you receive reliable, trustworthy care for your pets, but you also get the comfort of routine, consistency and dependability. I have 4 years of experience working with dog and cats of any size and kind. It is truly my passion as animals have guided me to becoming who I am today. If you're looking for help with a strict medication schedule, potty breaks, dietary restrictions, allergens then I'm your gal! I am very thorough with any care I provide through communication and observing any odd/new behaviors. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in's and group hiking activities. I am currently working towards becoming a professional dog trainer and obtaining my Pet CPR certification. I believe having a strong relationship with the pets I care for is incredibly important. I am currently working part-time. I am going to school for my Professional Dog Training certificate. My goal is to eventually use word of mouth and networking skills to be able to care for animals full-time until my classes are done. I have 2 cats and a dog as well as 2 young boys. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. Shes very outgoing, bubbly and has the best friendly personality. I can bring her with me for socialization, or if you have a solo preferred pup she can stay home! We are very active, always going on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years, I board and do in home visits, I sit for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and even fish! I prioritize animals safety while also providing proper enrichment, walks, hikes, playdates, and play sessions. I am also a Certified veterinary technician. I currently work at a doggy daycare, on days off i'm with pets all day walking and playing. During work days I walk dogs before work and then get a 3 hour break in the middle of the day where I hike with dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat and a friendly dog at home to keep your pets company. I find hiking trails and safe walking routes to take pets on fun adventures!
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was ten years old and adopted cats for the first time. I'll make sure your dogs are give all that they need, including all the love in the world! As I am working only part-time, I have plenty of time to care for your pets, from daily walks to overnight stays! You don't even have to drive to me; I'll come to you to make sure everything is taken care of! I am frequently active and have a flat backyard where dogs can play, and I am just one minute away from a pond which can serve as the perfect venue for a long, hearty walk! Also, my home has enough space for a dog bed and a crate, if provided, with enough space left over to play tug-of-war in the living room.
About: I have experience caring for all different types of animals, ages, and medical knowledge. Growing up I learned how to take care of horses, equine medicine, rehabilitation, and overall animal body language. I’ve always had dogs of different breeds (huskies, Akita/Shephard mix, corgi, pit bull/cattle dog) so I am very familiar with different needs, energy levels, and breed characteristics. I’ve had various different animals such as cats and Guinea pigs and truly call myself an animal lover. I am fully capable of handling all different sizes and dogs in various stages of their training. I am capable of keeping up with a puppy or a senior who needs special care. I am your all around sitter. I am currently attending MCPHS full time for dental hygiene so I will be attending classes during the day. I am able to provide care before I leave for classes, and after during the afternoon or evening depending on the day. I am around full time on the weekends to provide undivided attention and during school breaks/holidays. I understand how important it is to follow detailed instructions, I am very conscientious of medical needs, taking proper care of your home as if it were my own, taking care of your dog as if it were my own, and always being responsible and diligent about what training and behavioral needs/weather sensitivities your dog may have.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and have taken care of them since I was old enough. I’ve also worked on many farms with a wide array of animals, so I am qualified to watch your furry friend! :-) I am home before my next job starts, so I would be excited to watch a pet while I stay home most of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet 3 year old dog who gets along well with other dogs. I have a doggy door and frequently let my dog just roam around the backyard playing with his toys. Happy to chat about what works best for you for your pet!
About: ⸻ Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m Meggy — lifelong dog lover, certified belly-rub expert, and fluent in woof. I’ve grown up with pups of every size and personality, and honestly? I often prefer their company to most humans. I treat every dog like my own — whether that means walks, playtime, meds, snuggles, or just hanging out for some calm company. I’ve handled it all: first aid, meds, feeding tubes, even seizures and back injuries. Nothing surprises me, and every pup gets gentle, loving care. My dream is to someday move into a modern farmhouse with at least five dogs running around. Until then, I’ll happily look after yours and you can rest assured that I will treat them just like they’re part of my pack. 🐶💛 I work from home 3 days a week and have a pretty flexible remote schedule. My boyfriend works from home full-time 5 days a week we have a fenced in yard in a relatively quiet neighborhood along with 3 fur babies to keep your precious pup company. Or, if they prefer a quieter, more peaceful vibe, we have multiple cozy indoor rooms and nooks with childproofed gates attached to the doorframes which ensure every dog will be able to find a perfect spot for their needs
About: My love for animals started when I was little. I grew up helping take care of my own family dog. At the age of 18 I adopted my first dog and was solely responsible for her care. I’ve always helped out family members and neighbors with their animals. I also worked at Davis Farmland which gives me experience with many different animals. I tend to pet sit for people who have multiple animals. I take care of 4 dogs and a cat for a friend and it is my favorite job!! I also have experience cat sitting and bunny sitting! At the moment, I’m looking for work. I am hoping to make pet sitting a part time job or even full time job. It would make me so happy to work with animals every day! When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to have all the information needed to care for the pet(s) properly. Every animal is different but I’m confident I can always give the best care to any animal. I’m very responsible and will make sure the house stays clean and all doors stay locked.

About: I love caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special routines or medications. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I recently moved to Connecticut with my boyfriend to start a new chapter in our lives. While we look for a new home, I have no work. I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! 🐾❤️ I’m currently staying somewhere temporarily while my boyfriend and I look for our own home, so I’m not able to have pets stay with me right now. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets there! I have a very flexible schedule and can stay for as long as your pets need, whether that’s a few hours, overnight, or multiple days. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old, pet sitting neighbors dogs as well as training them. Many people celebrate how well I train dogs from any age, puppies to older dogs. Old dogs can learn new tricks and I have proven that. I worked at a vet clinic during my highschool years, I know how to take care of senior dogs. If anything were to happen to the dog during my visit I was trained how to deal with it. I am available to watch your pets Sunday-Monday. I cheer sly work two jobs, a pet hotel Wednesdays and Fridays. And I work at a ABA therapy clinic Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On sundays and Mondays I will be available all day for dog walking. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be available anytime after 4pm. I have two dog friendly pups at home so I can always bring them along to pet sit so your dog(s) can have friends to play with. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and can easily provide your pets with meals if needed.
“Kera is awesome with our 9 week old puppy, Olive. She even introduced her to sitting on command and sent us a video. Some of my favorite pictures of Olive are from Kera's visits with her. We get multiple picture updates and she is good about keeping us informed of eating and pooping habits which are very important with a new puppy. I highly recommend her for all your dog sitting and walking needs.”

“Erinn was amazing. She was always helpful as my cat was recovering from spinal surgery and required more than just feeding. Her experience as a vet tech was invaluable. She never missed a beat and my cats both love her. I cannot recommend her enough !!!”

Robert was fantastic! He was reliable, communicative, and took great care of Nelly while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in good hands made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. Nelly seemed happy and comfortable with him, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’d absolutely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Oxford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
