“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

“Morgan and Meaghan were fantastic. They took really good care of our three kitties and completely put my anxieties about leaving them to rest. Lots of pictures and good updates. They allowed me to better enjoy my trip! Thank you SO much. I will be hopefully using their services again in the future!”

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was young and have spent time with many different kinds of dogs - high energy, playful, cuddly, and many more. I love spending time with dogs and giving them that extra love that they need day to day! I recently ran a marathon so if you are looking for a walker who can go the distance or if your dog needs extra exercise/longer walks I would be a great fit! I am currently working at a school so my mornings and days are filled, but prime time for my walks are anywhere after work and before it gets too dark out! (4:00-7:30pm) - I am not offering any pet services at my house - partially the reason I am signing up for Rover is that I can have that quality time with animals since my house does not allow animals!

About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 11. I grew up with a Doberman/German Shepherd mix, a Labradoodle, and a Black Lab. I’m happy to walk dogs as much as they need, and I pay attention to when they’re tired and ready to head home. I love playing with them, and your dog will get lots of love and care. I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and your dog won’t be left alone for long. I’d start the day with a walk and breakfast, take them out and spend time with them throughout the day while I work, and end with a longer walk in the evening. I’ll follow the routine they’re used to at home, including meal times, walks, and bedtime. I don’t have a dog of my own right now, so yours would get my full attention. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m at your place, I’ll keep things as close to their normal routine as I can. Before the stay, we’ll go over feeding, walks, any meds, and anything they don’t love, and I’ll grab your vet’s info just in case. If they're at mine, I’ll put away anything they could get into, and they’ll always be on a leash for walks. Since I work from home, they won’t be alone much. At yours, I will follow your house rules and leave everything the way I found it. I’ll always double check that doors are locked and they’re settled before I head out. I’ll send you photos and updates, and if anything comes up, you’ll hear from me right away.

About: Hi there! I’m originally from Russia and have loved animals since I was a child. Unfortunately, I was never allowed to have pets of my own growing up, so I always gave my love and care to the animals of my friends especially when they traveled. I was often trusted to care for their dogs, from small to large breeds, while they were away. In 2021, I also completed a short grooming course in Russia and learned how to provide basic care routines like brushing and gentle hygiene. What I can offer your dog: - Long, active walks in any weather - Drop-in visits or full house sitting - Experience with senior dogs who need calm and patience - Giving medication (oral pills, eye drops, etc.) - Ear cleaning and light hygiene care - Brushing during shedding season - Vet trips if needed (transportation and assistance) - Calming anxious or stressed dogs, keeping them engaged and safe - Following feeding and medication schedules precisely - Photo/video updates while you’re away -Optional pet photo sessions: I have strong photography and editing skills and can do studio or mobile photoshoots on request My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out and ask about specific days or times. I’m always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet and see what I can accommodate :) The thing that’s really important to me: I never combine pets from different households during walks or pet-sitting visits. When you book me, my time and attention are dedicated exclusively to your pet (or pets, if you have more than one). No shared walks with other clients’ dogs! And i always follow your care instructions closely to keep your pup happy, safe, and stress-free. Good food, games, and affection are my recipe for a happy dog.

“Anne-Marie was absolutely wonderful. I met her for the first time just before leaving on an 11 day trip, and I was pretty nervous because I’d never left my pets for that long before. She immediately put me at ease. It was so clear from the thoughtful updates and photos she sent that they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying her company. Knowing they were being so well cared for allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying. Anne-Marie is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. She truly went above and beyond.”

About: I love dogs and have been around them my entire life. Growing up, my family has always had two labs who I often take care of and sit full time when my parents are away. I also have experience walking and sitting dogs of many different breeds! I’m currently a student at Northeastern University, but I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pups! I have Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday open, and am available after 2pm on Mondays and Thursdays and between 10:45-1 on Wednesdays. I have two dogs at home so I am more than comfortable spending time with your pet! Taking care of two trouble hungry labs, I know to make sure to keep a close eye on them :)

About: I’m a dedicated law student balancing the challenges of school while working to cover housing and tuition costs. Though I’m not able to have a farm full of dogs just yet, I’m passionate about caring for pups while their owners are away. I can walk, board, or simply spend time playing with your dog. Dogs bring me so much joy and comfort, and I would love to share that with your pet. I have been a dog owner since I was a kid and a rescuer since I was 18. I have a dream of one day opening a dog ranch to help clear shelters and give more dogs a loving home. Right now, I have my own dog, Huey, who is 3 years old and a big part of my life. By trusting me with your dog, you’re not only giving them care and attention but also supporting a student working hard to achieve her goals and make a difference for animals in the future. I’m a full-time student with weekends off and a generally flexible schedule, including some weekdays available. I’m happy to offer boarding on weekends, and during weekdays I’m available in the evenings for dog walking and playtime—perfect for pups whose humans work full-time. I have two friendly dogs of my own who love to play and socialize. During breaks and certain holidays, my schedule is even more flexible, so I can accommodate more time with your furry friends. Let’s connect and chat about how I can help care for your dogs. I will prioritize your pup’s safety and comfort at all times. I will securely crate your dog when needed and travel to and from your home in my car, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. You can trust that I will care for your pet in a safe, loving, and calm environment where their well-being is my top priority. I will also help with any other tasks to make things easier for you and your furry friend.

“Rebecca is a life saver, and exactly who you want watching your dog. My sweet pup is an anxious rescue with trauma, and this is the first time she’s had a sitter. I was so worried about how she would react to a stranger coming in and taking her for a walk, I honestly wasn’t sure if it would be possible. Not only did Rebecca get her to go out on walks, she even got her comfortable enough to snuggle! I’m so grateful to her for sharing her kind energy with the local dogs, we’re all honestly so lucky that people like her are on this app!!”

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.

About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.

About: I am privileged to have experienced life through animals, and intend to keep doing so. This is in living memory of my senior dog, Shawny. I have fostered dogs since I was in college, volunteered in shelters, rescued and found a home for a Siberian Husky, given them food and water then they are in the streets. I constantly look out for them since I do not know when was the last time they were fed and loved. I am currently a full time graduate student. I believe taking care of animals would fulfill my days. That is why I have chosen to spare my weekends for them. I have a fenced yard and a close by park for space to walk and any necessities for the dog. This way, we could both have a Sun break and some energy to spend.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with pets of my own at home — 3 cats and an English bulldog/pit mix I co-parent — so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I also work from home, which gives me great flexibility for walks, visits, and drop-ins throughout the day. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like they're my own — plenty of love, playtime, and attention to their routine. I have experience on Rover already and take pride in clear communication, so you'll always know how your pup is doing. Whether it's a quick walk around the block, an overnight stay, or a mid-day check-in, I'm reliable, punctual, and genuinely happy to be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Working from home means pet care blends into my day naturally — walks, feeding, and playtime with my 3 cats and bulldog mix happen easily between tasks. In my own home, my pets have a safe, consistent routine — fresh food and water, playtime, and a comfortable space. In a client's home, I follow the same standards: I stick closely to your pet's existing routine and instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior and safety, secure doors/gates, and make sure the environment stays clean and comfortable the whole time I'm there.
