About: I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. I have experience providing care for all sorts of animals from dogs and cats to hawks and lizards! I have relatively open availability on week days and weekends. I am pretty flexible with timing since I work for myself. Let me know what you need and we can make it happen! I will need access to your home and instructions on the required care for each pet. I am happy to play with dogs in a fenced in yard, or take them on a leashed walk.
“Meagan was quick to respond and flexible with my schedule when my dog sitter cancelled last minute before my trip. She was detailed in her updates and I will 100% try to schedule with her the next time I’m out of town!”
About: I am a very detail oriented individual who has loved raised animals since I was a child. I have experience with different types of dogs and personalities including rescues and spicy personalities. I myself own 3 dogs. 2 rescues and a French Bulldog. I consider myself someone who can easily gain trust with nervous or territorial dogs. I also have a lot of experience cats as well. I really like to listen to what the animal requires to give the best care for your fur babies. Currently, I work a full-time job 7-3:30pm. I am looking to do nights and weekends with the goal of going full-time. Currently weekends and last minute walks during the weekdays after 4:00 will work best. First and foremost my animals are my babies and I feel the same way about yours! I like to make sure that anyone whose animal I care for feels comfortable and all questions have been asked prior to care. If possible, I like to meet the dogs and owners ahead of time which allows the owners to see our interactions together to make sure it is a great fit. I will send photos and updates while giving reassurance to those who worry when not at home. My animals are my babies and yours will be too during care.

About: Dog lover here! Providing dependable, active, and affectionate care. From puppy energy to easygoing senior strolls, I respect your dog’s specific habits, commands, and feeding schedules. I put safety safety first on every walk, lots of positive attention, and keep you updated with fun pictures and visit summaries while you're away. I have a reliable, consistent routine that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Since I keep my service radius close to home, I can easily fit in drop-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I make visiting and caring for your animals a dedicated part of my day! I live in Barnstead, but work in Portsmouth so don't me afraid to message me if you appear outside of my radius. Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When visiting your home, I strictly follow all feeding, medication, leash and other guidelines to keep your pet safe and comfy. I ensure entryways, doors, and gates remain secure at all times, double-check that food and hazardous items are out of reach, and treat your home with respect. During every visit, I provide thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for.
“Christina was awesome!! Not only a kind individual, but wonderful with our two pups! She offered to work on some training while she spent the day with them, took them to the dog park, and was very accommodating when our plans changed. We will definitely use her again for pet sitting in the future!!!”

About: I have always been around dogs since I was a kid. Between my own, family members and neighbors, I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years and been able to adjust to each dog’s needs with no problem at all. I am great at tiring pups out with play or long walks or hanging with them if they are on the lazier side! I work part time in Concord so I’m looking to take care of dogs for fun and some extra cash! I am available differing days of the week depending on my schedule, but when I am free I will be able to tire out the pups with long walks or extended play sessions if they so desire! I will easily be able to navigate client homes and learn a dogs likes and dislikes quickly to make for a smooth and comfortable experience for the pups.

About: My love for animals started at a really young age and it only grew from there. I grew up with all different breeds from shitzus to Mastiffs each hold a special place in my heart. At 16 I started volunteering at a rescue. There I tended and cared for all different animals from horses and goats to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for many animals at all different life stages from newborn puppies, kittens, and kids to senior pets all the way up until their last day. I have 8 years experience not only with rescue dogs but one with high anxiety, as I even have one of my own. I am currently a Veterinay assistant and work about 40 hours a week. I have 5 years worth of veterinary knowledge and can meet your pet where they are at. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat all at different life stages. My pets are my world and I will do anything for them. I will care for your pet as I would my own. I will ensure their safety, health and wellbeing while giving them all the love they need and deserve. Trying to stray away from my full time job and make this my full time job. Caring for pets is my top priority and brings me joy. My pets are my world and mean everything to me. I will do anything for them. When I am taking care do your pet I will treat them as my own and give them nothing but outstanding care.
“Jess did a wonderful job taking care of our bunny, Beep, while we were out of town. Jess was responsive, flexible, and just an all around great pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend!”


“Autumn did an amazing job looking after Peppermint. She provided updates multiple times daily including photos and I could see how happy our puppy was to be out with her. She was very communicative and helped me out with an emergency last minute request. I would 1000% use Autumn again in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”

“Brianna has been a fabulous companion for my dog Ava on her midday visits. She has allowed Ava to choose how much time to play or rest, and you can see the difference in how comfortable Ava has become in her presence. Highly recommended her!”

About: I have taken care of pets, including dogs, cats and farm animals, since I was a small child. I currently have two active dogs, one of which has epilepsy and requires multiple daily meds, therefore I have a great deal of experience keeping up with medication schedules and administering appropriate meds. I trained one of my own dogs to be a therapy dog and we are a current therapy team. My husband and I travel with our dogs whenever we can, but sometimes it's not possible to take them. Because of this I easily understand the importance of finding pet care givers who we can trust and rely on. I am a responsible, retired professional looking to help give others that peace of mind. I retired from my full time career a year ago and in general have flexibility to pet sit at any time. My husband takes care of our own pets when I am away. I will manage care for your pets according to your wishes, including walking, playing, giving medications, crating, etc. I will give them kisses and cuddles if they allow it and will enjoy getting to know them and their personalities.

About: Growing up with a vet tech mom, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had a strong passion for animal care, especially dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, from extra large to small, as well as reactive dogs and working line breeds. I started pet sitting for family friends at a young age, which gave me experience caring for animals and understanding how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’ve also spent years training and working with my own dogs. At 11 years old, I completed my first Canine Good Citizen course and test with my dog, Ludo, and was the youngest person in New Hampshire to complete it that year. Today, I own and care for my 5 year old German Shepherd, Xena, who I’ve trained and worked with closely for years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to accommodate different schedules and care instructions from owners. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had a lot of hands on experience with all different kinds. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I’ll always treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs, I started dog/ house sitting for family friends and eventually others when I was in high school. Love all dogs and cat of any age, any size, any breed! I work completely from home from 630-3. My schedule is extremely flexible, I can work from most places, and can stop by as much or as little as needed I always want to have a consultation with the client to discuss needs, expectations, wants etc etc. I am very adaptable and can spend as much or as little time in your space as you'd like.

Meagan is the best! She takes great care of Murphy and, especially, gives him all the loving he craves. She sends great photos and gives me detailed updates. I hate leaving Murphy alone, but knowing Meagan is there to give him snuggles and pats makes me feel better.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pittsfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
