About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience as well as three dogs myself. I am training my second service dog (who will not accompany me while I work… don’t worry!) as well as dabbling in the AKC show and sport world. and this summer I will be enrolling in a vet assistant certification program! I have both owned and cared for every size, from XL to XS. truly nothing scares me… medical needs, reactivity, a pet who needs some extra time and care to adjust, or your average golden who loves everyone! There are very few pets i am not comfortable with… and I prioritize honesty and safety above all else. early mornings and late nights work best for me! I am free most weekends and will always try and be as flexible and honest as possible. In a clients home, I will always ask as many questions as needed to familiarize myself with the environment and your pets favorite play, sleep, and hiding spots. an emergency plan is something i always love to establish, and I am never scared to send a quick text to clarify something!
“Lauren was so friendly and sweet. She came over the day before for a meet and greet and our dogs took to her very easily. Lauren was very respectful and responsible and took great care of our dogs both times she can’t to our home. I would highly recommend Lauren!”

About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on.

I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely.

Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.

About: I’ve always taken a special interest in animal care. I have over 20 years experience taking care of various types of pets ranging from rats to large dogs. I have worked as the lead canine educator for Petsmart as well as a sitter for friends and family. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I love being able to give pet parents the peace of mind knowing that their pet is safe and getting the care they need with me. I am only self employed otherwise and I enjoy working schedules that allow me flexibility to have a good work/life balance. I am able to schedule pet care around my other responsibilities. I have indoor cats. I advocate for all cats to be indoor. I do not plan on watching pets in my own home. I would prefer clients have a fence but I’m comfortable with pets on a leash.
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! I am willing to go to the cape and islands for house sitting! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
“Our four-month-old Golden retriever puppy was SO excited to see Sarah again! He got the puppy zoomies. She really understands puppies, and is patient, loving, and playful - and good at avoiding his land-shark puppy teeth! We - and our puppy - will look forward to seeing Sarah again.”


About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
“Kat watched our two dogs two weekends in a row. It gave us comfort to know they were with her both times we traveled to provide consistency in such a short period of time. We had great communication during our absence and appreciate Kat's care and professionalism.”

About: As a life long owner of cats and dogs, I understand that finding care for your precious family member is a difficult choice. When I meet any animal I move at their pace, understanding that all animals have different personalities and needs. I love to be outside with my own dogs and cuddling inside with my cats, so giving yours the same love and care will be an easy task. I’m currently working on a start-up project at home so my time is flexible. Regular care, or just a one time visit, I’m happy to work with you on your schedule. I am a pet owner myself and care about mine like they’re my children. Any medication needs or special assistance your pet requires is never too much for me to accommodate.
About: I love animals so much, and nothing compares to the personality and happiness that comes from dogs! I love going for walks outside, and letting them go on their own scent journey— They deserve happiness and excitement!!! I’d love to play and give any medicines. I can assist in training or learning. With FULL weekend availability- I currently am working on moving towards a part-time job (I am employed Full Time currently) from 5pm onwards during weekdays are also available. Please message me for questions!!!! I live in an apartment, with a small yard. Though, there is a massive park walking distance from my apt! and I would love to walk the doggies wherever they want to go / are used to! and in the clients home, I’d love to make sure everyone is safe and sound and gate are closed before pets go out.
About: Family, friends, neighbors, pretty much everyone I grew up around have all had pets growing up Ive been surrounded by them and loved them my whole life. Im currently working a part time postion while still in online college courses so I will have plently of time on my hands to cater to your furry friends needs. I have a very big and open yard that is fenced in on all sides as well as my own dog that lives with me.
About: I've always had a way with animals. I grew up around large dogs as a child and spent most of my adult life around smaller pups. I also have a 6 year old doodle named Lucy & a 4 year old doodle named Chloe. I like to ensure your pup is okay being left home alone as I am a teacher and work during school hours. If your dog is a chewer or gets into things, I do require that they are crate trained. I can provide a crate for dogs under 35lbs but if your dog is larger, I require you to provide one. But, don’t worry! Your pup will be allowed to have free reign of the house while I am home. Having a dog myself, I would provide walks & potty breaks on the same schedule as my personal pups I have a nice-sized, fully fenced in backyard with a special locking system on the gate to ensure safety. I have a two super friendly doodles that would absolutely love the company of some friends.
