“Karina is the best dog sitter that I’ve had. She is very professional and always communicates. I have been though a few dog sitters so far, and she is definitely the best. Don’t be afraid to give her a booking you won’t regret it!”

About: I grew up with always having dogs around and have had a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I’ve been dog sitting for over 10 years now and can provide the best love and care for your animals. I have helped out at a dog training center. I enjoy hiking several times a week and would love to have an animal to accompany me. It has always calmed me down to be around animals because they bring such happiness and great company rather than being alone. It has always been a dream to either work with and have several animals throughout my life. I feel like dogs can bring so much joy to a person and or family. I can relate to how special a pet can be, my dog Fluke is my whole world and my goal is to give him the best life possible. With that being said, I will do everything in my power to provide the best experience for you and your fur babies. ♥️ I’m currently working part-time and going to school for my Master’s online, so I have plenty of open time to care and play with your pups! I have the friendliest golden retriever pup who absolutely adores anyone he meets if your pup needs a friend. I follow all safety guidelines to make sure your fur baby and home are protected.

We go on daily walks and when we can we play ball in the parks.

About: Most of my experience is personal, though that has gone into a professional realm responsibility wise.

We randomly do puzzles and play when we have the time. His Dad is here to help when I’m not here. However I do enjoy having the privilege to bring him along with me. It is not necessary, but if you are open to it please let me know so we can discuss it and have the pups meet. I make certain they have fresh water.

If I am not working I'd happily spend the entire time with your pet. If I am, well I'll be back as soon as I'm out! I care for your pet the way you've requested me to, with some added playfulness and cuddles ( or space if your animals particular about his/her humans) . I have experience with reactive dogs.

About: I lost my soul mate, Bailey, on October 18th, 2019. I rescued Bailey from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of New England 7 years ago after losing two other rescued cocker spaniels from the local pound within a month from each other. I was devastated and Bailey rescued me! Losing Bailey, who truly was a one of a kind, reminded me of how deafeningly quiet my house is again without him there, as I have no other pets in my house. I felt something good needed to come of Bailey’s passing. As a result, I decided to honor Bailey’s memory by giving all proceeds I make through Rover for pet care services to animal rescues/shelters to help more dogs in desperate need of care! So...bring on the requests...there are many, many, many animals that need our help! I have volunteered at local animal shelters/rescues and participate in fundraising activities during the year to support these organizations. Throughout the years, I have rescued and cared for several animals with emotional, behavioral and medical issues who had become integral members of my family. I have been a Registered Nurse for 13 years, can handle day to day routines and any emergencies that may arise to provide the best overall care for your pet. I will treat your pet like it is a family member of mine while you are away! I will be the only person caring for your pet so it will get one on one individualized care. Your family member will be in good hands while you are away reducing your stress and anxiety. I know how important that is as a pet owner! I only provide care to one pet at a time in my home unless the pets are within the same family (ie. siblings). Regular updates will be provided via electronic means agreed upon (ie. text, emails, fb msgr). I am really excited to join you in this journey and look forward to working with you and your furry family member! Let’s save lives together!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I currently live with three cats and one bunny. I have also had dogs throughout my life. So I welcome everyone! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. So, I will be available weekends and some weekdays! And of course I always try to keep my schedule updated! I understand how frightening it could be for your pet to see a new person coming to your home. I can assure you, I will give them time to adjust and sniff. Then of course I can give them love!

About: You should hire me because I’m an animal lover and I’m reliable! Pets are like children and they deserve the best care possible. I’ll give your dog/cat so much love!! I love long walks, dog park visits, cuddles, and treats :) I am new to the area and not working full time so I thought, what better way to spend my days? I’ll send updates to you about your cat/dog and pictures to show how they are doing! I currently own 2 kitties of my own and sit on the board of a non-profit cat rescue based out of Oceanside, CA. I also have 4+ years of fostering experience which has been one of the more fulfilling experiences I have had in my life thus far.

About: Hi everyone, I’m Amanda! Currently a stay at home mom raising my 5 and 6 year old human children, and my 7year old mix and crazy kitten! We’re all avid hikers and nature lovers, being outside is our absolute favorite! I grew up having dogs, mostly mixes and rescues, so I know how to gently approach pets that may have trust issues or who may be shy. With our mix having husky in her, I know all about high energy and how to get them relaxed and sleepy! Walking, running, and hiking are what we use to personally exercise our dogs so I can make sure whatever works best for your pup is what we’ll do! If needed I can be open to at home boarding, but I would first need to be sure they’d get along with my dogs :) Thank you for reading! I'm currently home full time with my kids in school, so I'm available from 9A - 2P (depending on distance) and after 5 during the week, as needed on the weekends. We have a large yard, and lead available for dogs who may need it. Currently our dog does well to stay on our property, she loves walking down to the brook for a dip!

“My dog was calm and well cared for after his walk with Angela. She followed all my instructions and took lots of pictures of my my dog while she was with him. He looked like he was having fun.”

About: I live on a farm with lots of animals and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. I love both cats and dogs of every age — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — and I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet will enjoy plenty of room to run, play, and explore, but they will always be under my watchful eye. Safety and comfort come first here. The farm is a calm, natural environment where animals feel relaxed, loved, and at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make sure they have a happy, safe, and fun stay! 🐾 I’m a part-time student and I live at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spaced out, so I’m home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life on the farm, so your pet naturally fits into my routine. They’ll never be left alone for long periods — I’m either outside with the animals, studying at home, or right nearby where I can keep a close, watchful eye on them. I care for pets in a calm farm environment with plenty of safe outdoor space to explore and play. Pets stay inside our home with me and are treated like part of the family — no kennels unless requested. I keep a close, watchful eye on them at all times, whether we’re inside relaxing or outside getting exercise. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible: meal times, walks, play style, treats, and any special needs. I’m used to caring for both high-energy pets and slower senior animals, and I adjust activities to what makes your pet feel happy and secure.

About: I have had a passion for animals since I was little! I love meeting new furry faces and making friends! Snuggles and belly rubs are a must! I bring treats with me to work for all the pups I see on my route! If it’s nice out, I enjoy running around outside or going on hikes. If it gets cooler, I prefer stretching out on the couch. Car rides are always welcome! Visits to the dog park are fun too! Even if they’re safe off leash, I’ll always keep them on leash to prevent any accidents! Muzzled or non-muzzled, I’ll be happy! If you have a list of what they need for food or other supplies, I should be able to follow it no problem!
