About: I'm a responsible, communicative, and kind graduate student with over a decade of experience caring for dogs. I've worked with rescue pups and dogs of all ages—from 8-week-old puppies to 13-year-old seniors. I treat every dog like my own, with patience, love, and lots of attention to their unique needs. My current schedule is very flexible, and I will be in town for most of the summer so I can hang out with your pup whenever! Once the fall starts, I’ll be in classes again but will have flexibility throughout the day and particularly on the weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my utmost concern! I completely understand that your dog is like your child, so you want to make sure that they are safe and in the best care possible. Because of that, I will defer to your rules about where your dog can go, when they can be off leash, etc. You know them best, and I trust you!
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. I raised my own dog from puppy to 15 year old senior citizen and have been taking care of my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats for years. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or a trail run, or your cat needs company while you’re away, I bring the same care and attentiveness to pet care that I bring to the hospital. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I’m here to treat them like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following special diets, and maintaining a calm presence with shy or anxious pets. I currently have a flexible academic schedule and I work hard to fit in pet care throughout the day. I am almost always available first thing in the morning and in the afternoons/evenings and my mid-day availability varies by academic term From walks to house-sits, I follow the simple tenants of 1)“treat every animal as if they were my own” and 2) “treat everyone’s homes with the utmost respect”. Pet owners know best what their animals need so my top goal is providing whatever care that may be, safely, and in the environment that best suits each pet and owner.
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
About: I am a current medical student in the area who has had dogs around her for her entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. I am responsible and quick in an emergency. I am also familiar with lots of walking trails in the area! I am a 4th year medical student with a pretty open schedule. Reach out with any inquiries and I will try to accommodate your needs! For pet sitting, I am available to stay at your home to keep your pet company as well as take them outside as often as needed. I am respectful, responsible, and professional in all spaces.
About: I raised/trained a puppy several years ago, and I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I am also a very active person, and I love running, walking, and playing outside with dogs. I have work shifts no more than a few hours on select days. If your dog cannot be alone for a few hours, I can almost certainly find a friend or family member to watch them while I am out. I am happy to house sit as well if you are on vacation. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, well loved, and properly entertained. I am very trustworthy and diligent with regards to schedules and special instructions. If boarding, please bring an item from home that your dog feels connected to (could be a bed, favorite toy, blanket, etc).
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Looking to get my own, but in the meantime, would be excited to watch yours. I have plenty of toys and treats and I’m happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable to keep your furry friend happy! I currently work at Dartmouth Hitchcock full-time which is why I typically can only watch during the weekend. My flexibility means I can also sometimes work remote. Depending on your preference, I’m sure we can work out something great. I am happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable. I love to go for a walk, so I’m happy to take them down to the small park that we have. Or if they’re not much of a walker, I’m happy to sit and relax as long as they know how to pick a TV show.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a young girl. They’ve always been a part of my family, so I’m comfortable with everything from dog walking to pet sitting, feeding, and even bathing. Whether it's playing with puppies or giving extra attention to senior dogs, I want to make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m available after 5 pm, mostly for dog walks. On weekends, I’m free all day and can help with dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, or whatever your pet needs. I don’t have any dogs at home right now, but your dog will be treated like part of the family! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and enjoy their time. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they deserve.
“Carl the cat was in great hands with Sheryl!! She sent daily pictures and Carl didn't even seem like he missed me that much when I got home. I would absolutely have Sheryl cat sit again!”
“Laura has been dependable and shows up when she says. Our pup, Ozzy, really benefits from the playtime and getting outside. Laura is great at communicating. She has recurring visits with Ozzy each week.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats since I was around 8, (I am now 18), whenever they have needed me. I have always been the most loving animal person and will always take up an opportunity to take care of dogs! I’m currently working part time, and also in school for cosmetology. I am available Sundays and Saturdays all day, and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3pm. I have grown up owning dogs of all sizes and lots of breeds and I recognize their emotions. I am confident in taking control over situations in the proper way to keep all pets safe.
About: Hello! I started boarding for Rover when I was at Northeastern University and met so many amazing pups and owners! It's so fun to have a companion to bring with you on outings, swimming, and hiking. I honestly think joining Rover is one of the best decisions I've made! In June 2020 I finally adopted a puppy of my own, Rhubarb! She's very friendly and loves playing with other dogs and cats. I'm excited to be offering pet care services again, and think that Rhubarb will be a great companion to any pet who might stay with us. I’m also happy to take plenty of pictures so you can know that your pet is happy and healthy while you're away. Feel free to read my reviews to learn a little more about my experience and style. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions! I work full-time out of the home so they would have to be comfortable staying home alone with my dog for up to 8 hrs if the stay included weekdays. My boyfriend and I have a spacious apartment with plenty of green space outside. We consider dogs members of our family so we allow them on furniture and give them plenty of attention.
