About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.
“Spencer was great with my last-minute need for a walker and was very responsive and accommodating to my specific needs that day. I really appreciated the notes in the Rover card about his walk, behaviors, and bathroom schedule to make my evening easier when I got home. Thank you so much for walking Zero!”
“Kiari was lovely! She was available last minute, professional, and a dog lover! My pup was well taken care of and got great walks while we were gone. We would recommend her to others!”
About: For all 21 years of my life I have owned pets. 2 dogs and 4 cats is the count so far. There is nothing that brings me more joy, peace, and passion than taking care of, and simply being around animals of any kind. The animal experience I put in the bio is reflective of my personal experience. Professionally I have volunteered for 6 months at a therapeutic animal farm and was responsible for chores for all farm animals. I also had a month stint doing a more intensive Workaway program where I did similar chores with larger animals. I am hoping to become more serious as an animal sitter and caretaker, with this being my first step to get there. I have experience with my own pup taking him on walks, administering medication orally, light grooming (mostly brushing), feeding (willing to cook them meals), and any other tasks you may need I am always willing to learn. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend soon! I’m currently working very part-time in a job that unexpectedly is not very reliable. I have plenty of downtime to take care of your pets and would only ever be gone for a few hours at a time if I was scheduled in for work. I am trying to make Rover a priority if I get frequent bookings here, so the animal will always come first. Unless specified through direct communication I am free during the week and weekends Depending on the service you officially decide I will include info about my own property as well: I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around in. There is a pool, so if your pet likes water, they can have at it! My dog lives between two homes, so if your pet is not good with other dogs he can always go to the other house and vice versa. I try to walk my dog every day when I am with him, and obviously maintain all the necessities such as food and always having water in his bowls. If there are any specific accommodations you need either at my house or yours I am always willing to consider options. Finally, if you feel like your pet does well with dogs and wants a friend to play with I am happy to bring him to your home for visits of any length.
About: i’ve had a Shih Tzu for nine years. I had her since she was four months old and Home trained her myself. With her I’ve had experience in medication administration, walking, post surgery care, eye care, bathing. She’s currently staying with my parents since I moved, but even in the distance, I try to take care of her and her medical conditions. I’m home most of the time, just go to work mostly two times a week, so your pet won’t be left alone or ignored. I specialize in small dogs and cats who love a calm, loving environment and lots of one-on-one attention. I treat every animal with patience, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Whether your pet is shy, senior, or velcro, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they are in my care. In My Home: I offer a quiet, clean, and comfortable environment for small dogs and cats. I work from home, so pets are rarely alone and get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I would stick closely to their routine to keep them feeling safe and happy. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to maintain their usual routine and environment as closely as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, give walks or playtime, administer medication if needed, and provide updates to keep you at ease. I treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care — just like you would.

About: I have cared for animals for 15+ years. I grew up with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I am currently studying veterinary nursing and plan on taking my certification exam in 2026. I am open to dog walking and check-in visits in Shrewsbury and neighboring towns. I have time during most days to check in on pets and provide the care they need, wether it be a walk or administering medication. The two dogs we have have access to most of the house, but with supervision. There is almost always someone at home during the day, though we have a camera set up for when the pups are alone. They both gets walks and playtime.

“Natalie is an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She’s taken care of my cats at least 10x times, and every single time I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. She’s attentive, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. My cats adore her, and that’s saying something because one of them doesn’t usually like anyone (lol). She’s also skilled at handling more challenging situations as when one of my cats was sick, she was able to give him his medication with no problem. I never have to worry when she’s looking after them, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust 100% with my pets. Highly recommend!”

“Jen is an incredible pet sitter! She’s been a great friend and neighbor for a few years now. When she told me she was joining Rover I thought it was a perfect fit for her! She does a great job taking care of my Lhasa Apsos, Waldo & Wiggles, who r quite a handful of excited energy and like to barrel through the house bumping into furniture, especially my crafts area … they like to be alert and involved with any activities or noises in and around the neighborhood. Jen has always given them both extra TLC and distracted them from their nerves. I’m her biggest fan! —Mark M., Shrewsbury, MA”
