“Myah has been such a great fit for my pet care needs. She is professional, a great communicator and most importantly, my dog loves her! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her for future pet care.”

“Stevie took great care of our two cats while we were away! She was super nice, responsive, and communicative. We would definitely reach out to her again for future cat-sitting!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and more! I am always up for the task when it comes to animals! From longs walks to outdoor play I am your girl! If your dog likes going on adventures and likes the car I am your girl. As well as having three days off during the week and working brunch on Saturdays I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! Open to overnights, pop in's or just walks! Making sure pets get the most attention possible is a priority to me. Snuggles and toys is the most important part. If your pet is comfortable. I am only available to stay in clients homes.
“Hailey is the best sitter. We have had her on multiple occasions and she is very attentive to our senior dog. We were just away for the Christmas week and she took exceptional care of Dunkin. She is very trustworthy and thorough and pays attention to all the information that goes along with the care of our boy. She communicates well and keeps us informed of all that is going on. I would highly recommend her and definitely would hire her again for my pet services.”

“Sandrine was great! She was nice friendly and her communication skills are on point my dogs loved her! I received updates and pictures and one of my dogs is hard to get a picture of I will definitely be booking her again soon! Thank you for everything!”


About: I frequently pet sit for friends and neighbors, and it is something I greatly enjoy! I have a cat of my own and I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I am a college student who is working a 9-5 this summer. I have Saturdays and Sundays completely free, and availability after 5 on weekdays. I am very flexible to clients’ needs regarding pet care. Their safety and happiness is my priority. I try to keep their routine as similar as possible to normal, while giving lots of care and attention to their needs.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from growing up with them as a child to raising them as an adult. I currently own a puppy and love being hands-on with daily walks, training, and playtime. With years of experience providing consistent care, attention, and affection, I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available on weekends for walks, playtime, and pet sitting. During the week, I can also stop by for quick potty breaks, feeding, or check-ins to make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m lucky to have a fenced-in dog park right in my neighborhood, which gives pups a safe space to play, exercise, and socialize. You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.
“Kristina was awesome!!! I knew they were well taking cared of which is a great piece of mind when your away!! Loved seeing pictures of my little guys daily and how well they were doing with Kristina!!! I would not hesitate to use her again or highly recommend her!!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16. Family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk and stay with their furbabies while on vacation. I have two dogs on my own currently that I take on hikes and long walks around Newport - rain or shine! I am available from 1:30PM - 10PM (rover slots are a bit weird)! I'm currently a freelance graphic designer and have plenty of time to walk your pups mid-day while you're at work! Or if you decide you need to unwind at happy hour after work or run some errands - your pups will be taken care of, no problem! I am 100% focused on your dog and the environment where we are walking. I ensure to take cues from pups on walks to make sure they are comfortable and happy with what is going on around them!
“Olivia was great! I got pictures every time she came to see my kitties, she handled a malfunctioning litter robot and communicated quickly and effectively during my vacation. I couldn’t be happier with how she took care of the babies!! Would definitely book her again :)”
About: I’ve been working at Newport animal hospital as a boarding assistant, and i have cared for my own dogs and cats since i was little. I currently work part time, but i am free mid days and later week nights. My schedule is flexible so fitting time is always something i can work with. I have a fenced in yard and a pet friendly dog for some play time company. I have vet technician experience and personal to help care for any furry friend.
Portsmouth dog parents share their Rover experiences
I could not be happier with the service Madison provided. I came home from a three day trip to a very happy and stress free German Shepard. Madison did exactly what she promised and really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend and will use in the future. Thank You again.

She is simply the best. She is very responsible and extremely responsive. She is also very knowledgeable in animals, especially puppies. I am extremely grateful for having her to help out with my new puppy. I trust her completely and am thankful for her providing the best care to my new puppy on the days I am working.
