About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!
About: Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am a former elementary teacher turned professional dog walker, dog trainer, + pet sitter for over 20 years + counting! I am excited to provide services in my hometown of South Berwick + nearby towns such as Eliot, The Berwicks, Dover, + Rollinsford. Please take the time to read through the details + ask any questions! References are readily available at every Meet & Greet for your peace of mind. What sets me apart is that I have more than just experience as a "pet lover" + dog owner. I have a wide range of hands-on experience with not only dogs but also cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, + more! 👉 My availability is open on Tuesdays + Thursdays as well as Friday morning late afternoon & evening. Open on Saturday & Sunday. My professional pet sitting + dog walking company "Teacher's Pet Sitting Service" began in 2006 in Manchester, NH, + moved to the seacoast serving a client base of countless pets + I'm broadening my services on Rover to reach more clients. My greatest strength is dog walking + dog training. I have been mentored by top respected dog trainers which has helped me ensure that dogs stay engaged, safe, calm, & well managed. No behavior, size, or breed is too challenging for me due to my understanding of dog body language + calm management that have helped dogs feel confident + comfortable. I can even help you troubleshoot common behaviors such as chronic barking, pulling, etc, + do private training in your home! When we meet we will review all of the details for their care, take a tour of your home to learn where their food, bowls, litter boxes, etc, are located & we will review their routine. With me, I will not rush through the visits. In fact, you'll likely learn that I will stay a bit longer if your pets need extra TLC! I know how important & reassuring it is to have ongoing communication & detailed notes & multiple pictures so that is prioritized for your peace of mind! Please note that I do not board pets in my home. Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing about your pets! P.S. Due to 22 years of experience + travel expenses, my BASE rate for ONE dog is $35.00 if clients live outside of South Berwick. Rates will be calculated on your location. Providing service in my South Berwick hometown, Eliot, Rollinsford, + Dover but there may be exceptions to travel further so please ask! I adjust my schedule according to your pet's schedule as closely as possible. ✔️When your dog is triggered by other dogs, people, etc, I will reverse directions or cross the street to avoid any reactivity. ✔️ Under NO circumstances, I will not take your dog to "say hi" to dogs or people including the mailman for safety + liability. ✔️Dogs must be indoors in between visits for safety reasons. ✔️Slow & safe exits out of doorways to ensure that dogs do not escape. ✔️I do not take dogs to the dog park for liability and safety reasons. ✔️I do not leave dogs out in the yard in-between visits due to possible injury, escapes, weather concerns, anxiety, etc. ✔️ All cats must be indoors
About: 🚩 Crate-trained dogs only. For the safety of your pet, my home, and the other dogs in my care, I only accept dogs that are crate trained and comfortable being crated when needed. This is ONLY when I am not home and at night for bed time. If your dog is not crate trained, please do not submit a booking request. 🐾 Neutered male dogs are strongly preferred. If your dog is not neutered and you would still like to request boarding, I ask that owners either provide appropriately sized male wraps/diapers or agree to an additional fee to cover supplies. ⚠️ Please don’t forget to scroll down to the “Must Read Before Boarding” section below for important requirements before booking! 🐾 I love being outdoors and enjoy walks—your pup will too. I work full-time for the Air Force, but my schedule is consistent, and I’m free weekends, afternoons, and evenings for boarding. I’m crate-friendly and prefer owners bring their dog’s crate. Weekends I’m totally free! I do have a regular 730-430 schedule Tuesday -Friday with certain days I get off early. While away, my pet is always crated for safety and to ensure they don’t get into anything. Environment is very safe. While away dogs will be crated. This is to ensure no accidents and the safety of themselves and my belongings. However as soon I get home, it’s play time!
About: I've never owned a dog, however I've grown up around them with friends and family members owning multiple dogs at one time. My aunt always had three or more dogs at one time which I helped to care for, ranging from giving medications to feeding to playing in the yard. I worked at a pet store for over 5 years where we were trained in nutrition as well as some behavioral signs. During my time at the pet store, I met someone who was looking for a sitter for their 10 month old alaskan malamute. I was offered the opportunity to watch her multiple times over the course of a year and a half which I took her on many hikes, beach trips, car rides, barn adventures, and spoiled her with toys and love. My boyfriend has a lab/dane/pointer who I take out for "mother-son" dates where we go for an outdoor adventure than reward with a pup cup. I've been working as an Animal Care Technician at a veterinary clinic for almost 2 years now where I care for patients before, during, and after their procedures ensuring they receive the best care and love during their stay at the clinic. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Dover NH. I have a four day work week consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at three 11 hour days and one 8 hour usually. I own a horse who I care for everyday after work most of the time or in the mornings on the days I have off (weekends and Wednesday). I always keep an eye on the pet whenever I am present by observing them and learning what is normal and abnormal for them. I watch the pets with no one else present so that I don’t have a human distraction which would hinder my ability to give the pet the best, safe experience. I limit the usage of my phone for social media or other distractions so I am present for the pets in the event of an emergency or any other incidences that may occur.
“Abigail was wonderful and Luna was so happy to see her! This was our first time leaving town and having someone other than friends and family. She was professional and kept us informed with lots of pictures. It was comforting to know Luna loved her and she was so reliable.”
“Hunter was very communicative during the visits with our puppy as well as while scheduling a meet and greet. She was also very punctual during the visits and provided a great summary of how it went.”
“Kate is dependable and great with our kitties. Our kitties seem very happy when she visits. Kate sends a pic of each kitty for every visit. Even our skittish cat comes out of hiding. Thank you Kate.”
“Plans changed last minute and ended up not needing Candace's services but she had great communication through the entire booking process. Will definitely be utilizing her in the future”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Berwick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
