“Katie made sure my cat got her phenobarbital twice a day and was able to handle her spicy attitude. It’s not easy to leave a cat with medical issues in the hands of a stranger but I felt that Bristle received the care she needed.”

“Jason has popped in for a week so far and is doing a great job. He gives very detailed summaries and responds quickly to any messages he receives. I look forward to having Jason take care of Macy in the coming months.”

About: I grew up with, and have cared for dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of family members and friends dogs, some long-term, throughout my adult life. I’m very gentle natured and meet dogs where they are at. My job is to make them feel comfortable and cared for and all of the dogs I have cared for have had such different needs and personalities! I’m very keen on reading their signals, and have dealt with timid/older dogs in the past, and helped them come out of their shells. I currently work part time as a manager at Somersworth Storage, on Thursday’s Friday’s (9am-5pm and every other Saturday until (9am-1pm). I’m available Monday-Wednesday, however I would be available some Saturdays as well. I do not currently have any pets, and would care for an animal based off of their environment, and if they have a fenced in yard or require leash walks around the neighborhood.
About: Hi there! I’m a huge animal lover who’s grown up around both cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I know what it is like to want them to be in the best hands while you’re away. I have cared for family, friends and neighbors dogs- from home visits to long walks! I know every pet has their own personality—whether that’s a playful pup who needs lots of exercise or a shy cat who just wants a calm, cozy presence. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. The comfort and safety of your furry friend always comes first :) Please feel free to reach out to schedule a booking! I am currently going to college online, and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for animals during the day would be the perfect task to unwind from schooling! I also have some weekend availability, if that is what’s needed for you and your pets. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. That means sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. I also pay attention to behavior and body language so I can adjust—whether your dog needs extra exercise or your cat just wants a calm companion. I keep things clean, safe, and organized in your home, and I always send updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and everything just as you left it.
About: I’ve owned and worked with dogs my whole life. I am the owner of a grooming salon and have worked in dog daycares as well as an animal hospital. We will treat your pups like our own! 🥰 We like to stick with what they are used to at home. Sleep on the bed? No prob! Snuggle on the couch? You got it! But if you have rules you are working on we are happy to help with those too. We have a large fenced in yard but the snow is high right now. So to be safe we are only taking dogs under 30 lbs. I have always specialized in senior dog care so if you have e an older buddy they are in good hands! ♥️Can’t wait to meet your pups! Also, we have 2 small dogs so yours must be ok with other pups. My husband and I both work from home so it’s easy for us to give the pups attention and care all day. Together we have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles! I have a large fenced in yard, but if you prefer walks that’s totally doable. I also have a Chinese crested mix and a Schnoodle who are very used to new dogs in the home. We also have baby chicks in the house until spring but they are in enclosures. In case your pup has a high prey drive, they can be moved to a safer area. 😆
About: Hi my name is Jean! I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family! Weather it's playful puppies or a senior pet needing extra care, I provide reliable, loving attention tailored to each pet's unique needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when you are away, so I prioritize safety, communication, and affections. Your pers will be in caring, capable hands every moment! I work 5:30am-12:30pm so I have time in the morning, afternoon, and at night to spend plenty of time taking care of your animals! I have 2 cats and a dog of my own as well that I take care of. I make sure to set aside time out of my day to serve the needs of my animals. I have plenty of time in the afternoon to spend time with my animals and when I get home from work I have plenty of time for walks, dinner, and of course play time.
About: Iv had pets my whole life and have pet sat for friends and family many times in the past. I live on the second floor so it might be hard for senior dogs unless they don’t mind being carried, I’m relatively strong so heavier pets won’t be a problem, I can provide puppy pads for puppies and have a large litter box that is sanitized between uses. I am not currently working so I have all the extra time in the world, My children are at school for 8 hours of the day so if your pet(s) prefer no kids the morning/afternoon would be best for you, they’re older and calm kids who love pets so if your pet is ok with kids they’ll get along great. I have an unfenced yard but not many neighbors, I have a fenced in balcony and lots of trails for walking dogs if that’s what they would like to do.
About: I've taken care of friends & family's dogs for the past 10 years, however for the past year and a half I've been a certified foster with The Grateful Dog rescue. My first foster, a two year old bulldog mix I had for 10 months. With her we learned leash training and manners/boundaries with other dogs. My second foster, was a 7 month old pitbull mix who ended up being a medical foster that I had for 5 months. With her, we learned house training, leash training, muzzle training, crate training, and basic commands. She was also extremely anxious and fearful with other dogs & people, so we did a TON of work to get her ready for getting adopted into a new environment. My last foster, was a two year old bulldog who needed a space with a structure and a schedule to help with his anxiety of being re-homed twice. Due to my apartment, I'm no longer able to foster, however I've taken on the role of event coordinator which often involves handling anxious/nervous pups in the high energy environment of adoption events. I've been missing the dog snuggles and walks and joined Rover to help fill that void. I'm currently working full time, Monday-Friday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday I work 9am - 5:30 pm. on Thursdays I work 11:30am - 8 pm. I Currently work remotely which allows for a lot of flexibility in making dog sitting/walking work. When it comes to going on walks, I have experience with strong dogs who pull on the leash, reactive dogs (both positive and negative reactions to other dogs and people) and muzzle training/wearing. I have experience with crate training, as the rescue that I fostered with requires that all of their dogs be crate trained.
“Amanda was so great for drop-ins with our senior dog when we had to travel! We got thorough updates and progress reports and the cutest pictures. She kept up with her medications and routine. After our first meet and greet I knew she'd be great with our dog and she definitely was!”
About: As the brother of an MSPCA pet trainer and rehabilitator, I am well informed of how to properly care for animals big and small :) If your dog enjoys running, I will gladly run beside them and spend as much time outdoors with them as possible. I am free throughout the week and am able to be away from my apartment whenever is necessary. Mornings, days, and nights are all up for availability. I make sure to follow food measurements exactly and try not to give my dogs anything outside of their normal dining to avoid any unwanted GI problems. My dogs are able to get outside in the sun and fresh air many times a day (we have an electric fence to keep them off leash) and I love to play fetch with them until either of us get tired. (These are my parents pets, I do not have any currently at my apartment, but I helped raise them from puppy to where they are now)

Having Shauni take care of all my animals while I’m out of town takes a huge weight off my shoulders. She has been so thoughtful and thorough. Her communications are clear, consistent and comforting. I’m a repeat customer and hope to use her services again in the future.

I needed a last-minute dog walker in an urgent situation, and Katie truly saved the day. After exhausting all other options, I was incredibly stressed about my dogs and she stepped in without hesitation. She was kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, sent frequent updates, and shared lots of photos that gave me real peace of mind. I can’t recommend her enough. 10/10!

Lisa was amazing! Helped us out last minute and was amazing with Roscoe. Sent us pictures and that was greatly appreciated. Our first time away from the boy, difficult for all of us. This will be easier next time for sure thanks to Lisa. We will definitely be using Lisa again. Kind, courtesy and professional. Thank you Lisa.
