“Ash was very patient and tender with my very fearful, timid chihuahua. Ash clearly has experience with different behavioral presentations in dogs and was very communicative! Would definitely book again!”

“Maggie did an awesome job of taking caring of my dog when I was out of town. She was very patient with my anxious pup and took the time to let my dog slowly warm up to her. I felt great leaving town knowing my dog was being well taken care of.”

About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friends, and coworkers pets for over 15 years. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean, laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. I have references on my website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet and greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines with you about your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye and make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street and keep alert for traffic or any other hazards. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary. I have a good eye for ticks and am always checking and finding them, but your dog should be treated for this too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!

“Haley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was respectful, on time, and caring. We would highly recommend Haley to anyone seeking care for their pet.”

About: I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :) I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.) I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).

“Absolutely great sitter! Would definitely work with Carter again.”

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

Sacha G.

“Stacie was terrific! It's very obvious she is in-tune with creatures and Sam seemed to be instantly comfortable with her. Going away is much easier when we know both house and Sam are in good hands.”

About: From training feisty puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages. I am study pre-veterinary science at UMASS so I’m a pro at giving meds and want to work with dogs with any special needs. Potty training or need a few household chores done? I’ve got that covered too. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part time and looking to spend some of my spare time with animals. I have a flexible schedule so reach out so we can coordinate the best schedule that works for you! I can do it all! I am enthusiastic about working with all animals. Walking, feeding, training, medication, please let me know what your pet needs.

“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”

“Colin did a terrific job for us! His work ethic was evident from the very beginning as he took copious notes during our meet and greet. The dogs loved him and I had every confidence he was going to be a great sitter. We weren’t disappointed. Colin was confident and handled all the details of their medications, special diets and quirks with good humor and grace. Finally, Colin’s respect for our home was unmatched by any of our previous sitters. His attention to detail was so appreciated!”

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and believe that most times they are better than people. I will take care of your dog(s) as if they are my own. I am available all day every day except between the hours of 3-6 pm. I love running and playing with dogs and do not mind cleaning up messes. I have two dogs of my own, a black lab and a hound mix that I absolutely adore. I love taking them for hikes and just spending as much time with them as I can. If you choose me to help take care of your dog(s), I promise you will not regret it. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I work as a school teacher right now so am only available after 5 during the week and anytime during the weekends. After June 17th, I will be on summer vacation and will be available all day every day. I have a fenced in yard and a black lab that loves other dogs to play with if you'd like for me to bring them to my home to get some energy out.

About: I've taken care of family pets, neighbors pets, and my own animals from a young age. I adopted my own puppy when I was in middle school, who I cared for and trained all on my own. I went through the whole range of basic training up to agility classes with her. I also have lifelong experience caring for cats, and caring for more elderly dogs belonging to family and friends. I'm now in college and really missing my own pets, so I'm super excited to be helping others care for their animals! I'm a college student with a class schedule that offers unique availability to take care of your pets! I'm regularly available during certain days of the week as well as evenings and weekends. I do not offer pet boarding or care in my home, but I have a variety of experiences caring for pets at their owners homes.

“Kendra watched our two senior dogs and house sat for us for a little over a week while we traveled out of state to visit family. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, took care of everything, and when we came back dogs were in excellent spirits and the house was as clean as we left it (possibly cleaner). Would use her again in a heartbeat.”

“John dog sat for us when we went away for 8 days. Maggie was well taken care of. He sent us pictures with updates every day without fail. He was very accommodating the last day when our plane was delayed, and he offered to take care of Maggie for an additional night!”

About: I have been caring for people's furry (and sometimes not furry) babies regularly for the past 8 years. I have cared for dogs and cats, who have needed medicine and who have not, and who have needed extra special care and attention around walks. Most of my experience is around short and long-term overnights/stays, but can come for just walks or other shorter term care as well. I mainly work remotely and have a flexible schedule right now, so I am often available for last minute requests in addition to in-advance ones. In general, I work best with clear instructions. If you outline what you're looking for and what you're needing to best support your fur babies, I will make sure those things happen!

About: I'm starting on my own business and I am so looking forward to seeing it going well. I can't wait it's gonna be excited to see it happening. It's gonna work I'll make it work. I'm willing to do it 5 days a week I can make it work out it's the best for me especially when I have a business to run me I would have fun staying and pet sitting for people as long as it's safe. So please call me up as pleased I'm willing !

About: I am an active human and love the companionship of dogs for walks and hikes, as well as a snuggle on the couch. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule as well as appreciate the routine of pet care to help me build routine of my own in this moment of unemployment. It is important for me to learn before caring for a pet about their quirks and it is my goal to build trust both with you and your furry friend
