About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) 40 hours WEDNESDAY afternoon thru SATURDAY night. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 7am to 12pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my full time work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for most recently. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.
About: Ive been taking care of dogs all my life, i have experience administering oral medication, feeding pets on specific schedules, bathing pets, taking large and small dogs on walks, and I have experience finding vets and getting pets there quick in case of emergency! I have a very flexible schedule! The only days I am not free on are mondays and Wednesdays for school. I can help with daily tasks like walking or feeding the animal! I give pets constant attention and care! I've grown up with very clingy puppies, so I'm used to giving animals all my attention! I'm also used to following specific schedules for the animal! (i.e. food, walking, bathroom)

About: I have taken care and grown up with animals my whole entire life. I love and appreciate all animals, I have taken care of almost every single animal of all ages shapes, and sizes! I am currently available at all times and I do look forward to playing and exercising experiences with all of your furry friends.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I am also comfortable around cats and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please note: My house-sitting service does not include overnight stays. I provide care throughout the day and evening and will return the following morning for continued care. If your pet requires a sitter to remain in the home overnight, I may not be the best fit for your needs. My availability is Wednesday evening through Sunday evening each week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during that time and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I don’t currently have a pet in my home, but I have spent my life around dogs and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand how important routines are for animals, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while they are in my care.

He makes me realize that I have what it takes to care for pets of all different backgrounds. :) I’m currently working transitioning into a new job and looking to use all my free time to take care of your little family member!❤️🐱🐶 🏡 Trust, Safety & A Comfortable Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!

About: Hey there! I'm a proud military member and animal shelter volunteer with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the little critters! From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve got the skills to handle it all. Need meds given or special diets followed? No problem! I’m all about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always know how your fur-babies are doing. With me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s personalized, loving care that gives you total peace of mind. Let’s make sure your pets have a tail-wagging good time while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I dedicate specific times for walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs such as administering medications or training sessions. I schedule my work and personal activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. This dedication ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and well-attended to throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by providing a designated area with comfortable bedding, toys, and plenty of space to roam. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring each pet feels at home. I also have a secure backyard for supervised outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.
About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, I know how to adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, administering medications, crate training, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away.

I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure pets get their exercise, attention, and cuddles every single day, because I know how much those little things matter. Each week, I also set time aside for things like brushing, extra play, or whatever makes them happiest. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! In my home, they’ll have a safe, cozy space with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rushmere. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
