About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.
“Tori has been absolutely amazing with Meili. He gets so excited when she arrives and enjoys every moment they share together. Tori does a wonderful job walking him around the neighborhood and makes sure he's very happy the entire time.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a child. We had a family kitty and other family members had dogs. I have experience taking care of families and friends dogs and cats, whether that was staying at their house and following their routines, taking the dogs out for walks, or simply popping in for their meal time. I have a soft spot for cats, but I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love! I currently don’t have a full time job and am applying to graduate school, so I am available when you need me! I am flexible and can work my routine around your pets’ needs. If you need me to stay over in your home, I will be sure to follow every instruction given, and treat it with the utmost care and cleanliness.

About: Compassionate, reliable, and experienced pet lover who ensures safety, comfort, and joy for pets. Provides personalized care, detailed updates, and builds trust with owners. I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years both dogs and cats, in all different sizes. Working a flexible full time job at Allen University so I can adjust my schedule to you and your family’s needs. Will not be here for thanksgiving or Christmas. I prefer caretaking at a client’s home so the pet is more comfortable in their environment, and I can accommodate to their needs and yours. It also gives the opportunity to use their toys at home and keep them entertained.
“Thanks for the help. Vassu was very prompt in messaging about Yoshi's walks and how he was doing. Was very good with the Yoshi. Always on time and if there was any delay she texted me immediately. Thanks for taking such good care of Yoshi.”
“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”

When I’m done with working I walk my neighbors dog, then I stop by my mothers and watch/ play/ walk my moms dog! I care for my pets with respect, as do I with other animals! I am patient, understanding, and friendly. I go above and beyond for pets!

“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”

Old Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Gina is fantastic! She is a quick and clear communicator and excellent with my two pitbulls. I reach out to her whenever I am in the Springfield MA area and need a walker for my girls. She is on time and always fills out a rover card and sends pictures. Will absolutely book again!
Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Banner! He can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She arrived right on time and stayed for the full duration of the booking. She took Banner on a fun walk around the neighborhood, and he was so happy when they got back—he had the zoomies in the backyard! Kim was also super flexible with my schedule and kept in great communication the whole time. I already have her booked for an upcoming stay and feel totally at ease knowing Banner is in good hands. Thanks so much Kim!
