2. Emily H.
About: Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog as well as my own granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered! I work a remote job with flex time based in another time zone, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. Having used Rover for my own cat’s care, I know it can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities, and I ensure a secure, loving environment while respecting your home. Expect thorough updates and thorough documentation!

“I love Anna so much! I entrusted her with looking after both my dog and cat during a week long vacation. During the time I was away I received daily pictures and updates about my animals. She took them on regular walks and followed their feeding routine closely. I will definitely hire her again for my next vacation.”

9. Jeremy S.
“I have known Jeremy for over ten years, and he has had his own dog for a good portion of that time. He has always taken great care of his dog and displayed traits of a good pet owner. His dog is well mannered and well behaved, happy and healthy. He has his own house with a safe, fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. He has also helped me with my own dog by giving advice and watching him when I needed. Overall he is a responsible and trustworthy person. I myself am a Rover user and would recommend Jeremy to others for this type of service”

20. Nicholas T.
About: I grew up with lots of animals in the home. I currently work locally at a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility. I trained dogs at another local establishment for some time and found lots of enjoyment in that! I have a great respect and compassion for all animals - great and small. I do have a full time job but I am interested in exploring more opportunities to spend time and learn about animals. Early mornings, lunch breaks or evening times after work can all be arranged Make the pet feel comfortable is a priority. Watching body language. I would pick up the pup and go for a walk or to the dog park and then return them home safe and sound! (I do not drive by choice so local to downtown northampton is best)
