“Heather was wonderful. I messaged her last minute and responded very quickly and she was very accommodating. Our dog Minuit had a wonderful time with Heather and her dog. I highly recommend her.”

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful, she took great care of our girl Minuit. She fed her, and gave her love and attention. She asked about Minuit's personality and habits and that was a very nice touch. Would absolutely recommend :)”

“Tanya was so good with izzie! Sweet, comforting, and patient. Izzie is a bit timid and Tanya went out of her way to make her comfortable. She was understanding of my change of plans and will definitely use her again to walk Izzie. Thanks Tanya!”

“Rowyn met with me and my two dogs prior to our scheduled walking. She was great with them and showed clear knowledge of dogs and enthusiasm. She was easy to communicate with, as well as accommodating and gracious with last minute changes I made to my booking.”

About: I had dogs around since I can remember. My family fostered dogs through a shelter, and so I have had experience with many dog breeds and sizes. I aim to bring dogs joy and a calm, happy visit together. I work part time in retail, which leaves me with plenty of time for drop ins and walks during other people’s work days. I walk, bike, and bus around the valley, so I may already be out and about I always operate with caution, whether it be keeping an eye out for cars, other dogs, or passers by, I will protect any pets as if they are my own. I believe all pets to be precious and worthy of patience and understanding.
About: Hi pet parents!! I take care of every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats of my own and have also looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I make sure every pet is happy and thriving, and I like to send regular updates so you know they’re more than okay while you’re away. Hi pet parents! I’m available for pet care and can adjust to fit your needs. I’m currently between 9 to 5 roles, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me. I know cats especially feel most comfortable in their own space, so when caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routines, provide affection and supervision, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed.
“Alexio was reliable, flexible, a good communicator and deeply cares about the well being and good manners of our dog Maisy. He provided mid-day walks M-F for the entire school year. I trust him, have recommended him for friends, and hope he’ll be available when we need him next!”
About: I've been my family and friends go to pet sitter for as long as I can remember. I'm moving to a new apartment that doesn't allow dogs, so I wanted to get my dog time in through Rover and help pet parents along the way. I work from home and have very open availability. I’d love to be you’re substitute for a couple of days or even be a scheduled visitor or walker! I really enjoy the outdoors and love to take dogs on walks/hikes but can also go the chill route. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will have to go to you though as my apartment does not allow animals. I like to receive instructions from each pet parent and follow accordingly. I ask lots of questions regarding feeding schedule, temperament, activity level, special requests or needs. I send lots of pics too! I do not let dogs that I'm sitting for interact with other dogs.
About: I’ve worked with animals for 10 years, starting as a dog groomer and day-care worker! I have done house and animal care for the last five years as a way to hang out with pets while I can’t have my dog with me. I am happy with all breeds and ages of animals, and love to be active and outside so if your dog loves a good walk I will be their friend! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility. I work in the evenings Thursday-Sunday 4-7.30pm. I am a full time graduate student at Smith College so I am now on break! I am happy to follow your guidelines based on what your pet and home needs are. I can’t accept animals at my apartment. Happy to communicate with you about what you are looking for!
“James is super sweet with our pups. They challenged him but with his patience and tender persistence, their first off leash solo walk was a success! Thank you James, we are looking forward to having you take them on more walks.”

About: Hello. My name is Dana. I have a lot of experience working with animals and have been offering pet sitting services for over 10 years. I graduated UMass in 2016 with an animal sciences and pre-veterinary degree. I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have some dog training experience etc. I am also experienced at caring for many farm animals. I am currently work M-F. I can provide evening care, overnights, or weekends. My schedule may change and open up more in this coming fall. I am unable to provide boarding in my home at the time. I am a clean, nonsmoking, and respectful house guest in someone else home.
About: I have been the proud dog dad of Franklin, a rescue 14 year old terrier mix, for over 9 years, who suffers from separation anxiety. More recently, I have cared for him through eye removal surgery as well as terminal joint and heart issues. As a result, I have experience giving oral, ocular and topical medications. I have this experience with other dogs as well, as I am always quick to volunteer for any opportunity to walk or babysit a friend or families dog - even going so far as to visit dogs rather than people at family weddings. I'm currently unemployed, so 100% of the time I'm not with my dog I can and want to spend taking care of your dog! Please check my schedule or reach out. First and foremost, I care for animals by showing them love and respect. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will conscientiously follow all instructions you provide and never put your pet in any danger.
About: I have had small animals and a dog, and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I am completely in love with all creatures big or small, and I've dedicated a lot of my time to the care of animals. I have recently worked at a dog boarding facility, so I have lots of experience with administering medication to animals, and tending to their specific needs. Me and my family are all super passionate about animals, especially dogs. I will love your baby just as much as I love my own, and make sure all their needs are met. My weekdays are not typically very busy so I can come and take your dog for a walk or play with your cats pretty much any time, given enough notice. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I try to vary my jobs so my schedule changes often, but always ask! I am currently getting my BSN at HCC, but time management is no problem for me :) I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a big field to the side of my house that my dog runs around in. I'm sure your pets will enjoy running with him. In terms of taking care of pets in my client's homes, I treat their belongings with utmost care and tact. I would definitely dislike anyone messing with my house, so I try to treat other people's houses with the same respect I would expect them to treat mine with. "leave everything as you found it or better"
About: I have lifelong experience with animal companions, and many years of experience caring for other people’s furry friends! I have experience with special needs animal companions, high needs breeds such as Great Pyrenees and dachshunds, and multi pet households. I am in grad school and very flexible with my time! I am free weekends and all weekdays after 3 pm, as well as most of the day Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I believe that our animal companions experience the full spectrum of emotion and sensation, and I treat our animal friends with as much respect, care and compassion as I do our human ones.
About: I am a momma bear a doggie mama and a kid magnet. I love kids with two legs or four and I am choosing a life where I spend my time with kids and dogs. I have a small family farm in Granby Ma with a fenced in pasture area. I have school aged kids and during the day I am home with my best friend Cara a silver English Labrador puppy. We enjoy walks between 10-1 and love having friends stay with us in our home. Typically I spend time in my home listening to music, working on my home or to do list while interacting with my furry friends. I run errands , share car rides , let sleeping dogs lie and enjoy my day. I like to think I’m a dog stuck in a human body.
About: I've been house and pet sitting for ten years plus, besides that I've been an owner of many dogs and cats. There is nothing that makes me happier than the well-being of them. When you choose me for the care of your fur babies, they'll be taken care of to the maximum comfort and standard. I'm flexible in that I work remotely... So i huge amount of the time i will be around to cater to your pets. And also will be able to walk them often and keep them stimulated I'll make sure their safety and the environment they're in are safe and nurturing. If it's the owner's house I won't change a thing, if it's my house I'll have them have access to all that they would have at their home.
“Jacklyn is great, I can tell my Lily girl loves her. Jacklyn communicates in a way that alleviates any stress, it can be hard trusting people to take care of our furry loved ones and she hits it out of the park!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs in my home since I was young. Five years ago, I rescued a handsome handful named Alphie. I currently have a beautiful 8 year old rescue and have learned a lot of positive training techniques that I will bring to any pup friend that I meet. I work from home and have updated availability for house sitting, drop ins, and walks. I love exploring new hikes, running new routes, and spending time at the dog park. If we find that your dog is a good fit with my own, I am willing to arrange some social time but generally leave Alphie at home when watching other dogs!! I am currently studying for a licensing exam while working part time from home. I am happy to adjust my schedule to fit into your animal’s routines and needs. I’m very active and love to go on runs, walks, and hikes with pups. I love walking around neighborhoods and exploring with dog friends! I think safe socialization is really important and am open to creating space for dogs to play!

Tanya is terrific. She is conscientious and caring. She followed up with me and led me through the process to ensure she knew everything needed. And she took great care of our dog. Trusted her completely and our dog was absolutely comfortable. I would absolutely work with her again.
