“I used to have someone stop in a feed my cat Charlie while I was on vacation. But Charlie is a real people-oriented cat and wasn't happy with so much alone time. So, I decided to try Rover and found Marina, and I'm so happy I did! Charlie got lots of attention, from brushing to being picked up to cuddling time and play time. Charlie thrived while in Marina's care. Plus Marina sent a daily text updates with photos that really set my mind at ease. I highly recommend Marina's care. She is thoughtful, conscientious, and has a knack for putting animals and their owners at ease.”

About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.
“Gavin was wonderful with my dogs. He arrived on time, made sure they got plenty of outside time, and even brought in a package from my front steps. I am very glad to have Gavin available to watch my boys when I need to be away.”
“Kate was wonderful with our three kitties. We had never worked with her before, and she was able to handle a complex situation that that involved medications with one of our kitties who is healing from a foot injury. She was also available on very short notice which was a huge relief to us. Her communication was excellent, and her enthusiasm and care for animals is immediately apparent. We highly recommend Kate and we’re so glad we have met her!!”
“Jessica took great care of our cat, including giving him his inhaler twice a day, and on top of that took great care of our home while we were away. She was also attentive to messages and responded quickly, and sent us updates and pictures every few days.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, from daily walks to long term pet sitting. I have looked after multiple cats at once and have consistently walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to large breeds. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and I take pride in giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I work a full time 9-5 but am available before and after work as well as during lunch, since I mostly work at home. I am also available some weekends. I am responsible and great at following any directions that pertain to specific food the pet is restricted to take or any rules regarding taking them outside or if they can engage with other pets.
About: Hi! my name is Ally! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Dalmatians to Jack Russell’s. I started volunteering at the NHSPCA in high school and discovered my love for helping & animals. I am a registered nurse and looking to fuel my hobby spending time with animals and getting to know their lovely owners. I am an active individual who can exercise pets that have high energy, as well as care for pets who prefer more down time. My parents and I have a 12 year old blind Jack Russell named Sherman who is not friendly to other animals, so I am used to dogs on the more complicated side. Sherman does not live with me so I will not be with him while watching other dogs! I believe every animal deserves love and attention and I hope to provide that for everyons interested! My schedule is flexible as I work from home and make my own hours. I love to keep animals in their routines. Even if it’s just being with them at home. I am a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who cares a considerable amount for all animals. I will happily care for them like my own.
About: I was notorious for bringing home stray animals as a child, my parents weren’t a big fan. My heart couldn’t take a animal being on its own. Once I got to the age of working, I jumped right into house sitting animals. I’ve been doing it for 11 years. I’m currently working part time in the evenings and have most mornings free. My schedule is open for talking about what care is needed for your pet. Traveling to your home is best for me, I do not have a pet friendly house set up currently. The animal is always more comfortable in its own environment so I’ve found. I’m all about low stress environments for them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have also grown and had almost every household pet you can think of! I live in Portsmouth NH. I work from home 3 out of 5 days but can be very flexible about not going into the office. I have my own vehicle and am able to do drop ins during the day! I typically spend at least 30 minutes to an hour for drops. This would consist of letting your dog outside when I get there/ walking them. Then feeding them their meals and making sure they get to go back outside before I leave. I do not let dogs play 30 minutes before or after they eat just to be safe. Of If I am spending the night with your pet, I am more than happy to hang out at your house and watch a movie with your fur babies!
