About: I have done both walking and house sitting for family and neighbors for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown breed. While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired
“Julissa did a great job pet sitting our dog and two cats over the holidays. Pets seemed very happy, communication was great, and the house was very clean when we returned. Thanks Julissa!!”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.
About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Audrey! We were very nervous leaving our dog Kaya for the first time with someone whose not family for our wedding weekend but Audrey took all those nerves away the first time we met her! She was so sweet and good with Kaya. She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout the weekend and it made our wedding weekend that much more enjoyable knowing Kaya was in good hands. She took excellent care of our home and our pup! Audrey will 100% be my first call the next time we’re planning a trip anywhere!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and over that span of time have been held responsible for over 25 dogs and cats with neighbors coming back for care. I’m currently working part-time hours since I’m a full-time college student but in my spare time I would love to take care of your pets. I can maintain a safe environment , removing any hazards and ensuring door and gates are closed. As well as keeping you updated on your pets well-being and giving your pet lots of love:)
“Haley was awesome! Communicative, punctual, and responsible. She was great with our sweet (and sometimes crazy!) girl, and she left our home in perfect condition. We had total peace of mind leaving our dog in Haley’s care, and I would highly recommend her!”
“Mary stayed with our 6 pets and managed our home very well when we traveled for a week. We got lots of pictures and videos and our pets were well cared for. I can definitely recommend Mary for your pet care and I will use her again next time we have need.”
“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”
“We were so fortunate to find Deborah when our planned sitter had a conflict come up and none of our friends were available either. Deborah was attentive to my concerns, followed my very specific instructions about caring for our four cats, and communicated and sent photos regularly. She also took excellent care of our home. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a great cat and house sitter.”

I’ll send photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Robb watched our two pups while we were away for a few days. They tend to be very timid with new people and it can be frustrating trying to get them to relax/listen to someone other than myself or my fiance. With that said, Robb was very patient with the both of them and really took his time to slowly gain their trust. By the end of the stay, they both were very comfortable. Robb was responsive and responsible. He listened to our concerns and was able to ease our anxieties being away. Overall we are very happy and will definitely use his services again!”
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

We are happy with Matt’s overall professionalism in taking care of our dog, Gina. He was very accommodating and kept her safe and entertained. There were some unforeseen circumstances that Matt handled well. He communicated with us regularly and sent some nice photos. We felt comfortable having Matt take care of our dog and home while we were away for a week.
So grateful we found Regan! She agreed to a last-minute job when my scheduled sitter backed out the morning of. Her ability to work with and maintain the safety of our dog who has severe separation anxiety was nothing short of perfection! She kept me updated on our dog's well-being and pre-booking communications were timely and efficient. Really doesn't get any better than Regan. I will def book with her again!
Audrey was very kind, caring and patient with our senior dog, Molly. She was able to give her her pills with no issues and Molly ended up falling asleep in her lap. Audrey also sent many pictures during the time she was sitting. We highly recommend booking Audrey to take care of your pet :)
This was my first time using a dog sitter through Rover and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Marie exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we met, I knew Pete would be in great hands—and I was right. She sent me frequent updates and so many adorable photos, which made it so much easier to be away from my dog. It was clear they bonded quickly—honestly, I think my dog was a little disappointed when I came back! Not only was my dog happy, safe, and loved, but Marie also left my home in better shape than I left it. That level of care and attention is rare. She’s truly a gem, and we were so lucky to have found her. I’d recommend Marie to everyone without hesitation!
