“Ben has been great with our new puppy! He’s very patient, and was able to take the time to get our puppy to warm up to him. He’s also very punctual and professional. We’ll defiantly be using Ben in the future!”
About: I firmly believe that your pets are your family. And they deserve the very best. I’ve had 10 years experience caring and handling dogs and cats. Bathing/grooming pets is one of my specialties. I’m working 3rd shift at my current job, so my availability is wide open during the day. Evening visits are negotiable upon request. Advance notice is always appreciated! Feeding and playtime are essentials that I offer during visits. Bathing/grooming is offered with supplies provided by owner. I especially love trimming claws keeping pets comfortable!
“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”
“Ann Marie has been wonderful with our pup. She is kind, professional, and trustworthy. I feel comfortable allowing her into our home. Her updates and photos brighten my day everytime and she is very sweet to our girl.”
“We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!”
“Maria is consistently on time, friendly and provides excellent care to my pup and always provides prompt responses to my many questions! She takes the dog on great walks and always sends photos and updates in every Rover card. She’s worth every penny and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have owned dogs/cats for the past 13 years. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re gone. I am currently self-employed and set my own schedule. I can work in several pet sitting sessions a week. I am flexible, so please contact if you have questions! I treat the client’s home as carefully as I would my own. Only access required pet care items and clean up after myself/the pet when necessary.
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.
About: All my life I’ve been a huge fan of dogs of any size or breed! I have dog sat for friends and family in past and they’ve all said I’m one of the only people they trust with their pets. I am currently looking for another job. Just came back from Florida so I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment to make sure your pet is never alone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pets would never feel alone and they would have my undivided attention to make sure they got the care they need and the friend they want.
About: I've been a dog lover and owner for over 50 years. I currently rent a condo that doesn't allow dogs and I miss The joy of a happy dog. I can work with any dog-from puppies to seniors. I have plenty of time to care and love your puppy/dog! I will also make available weekend visits for your dog in your home. I'm VERY confident your dog will like me because I will treat them like royalty! All of my visits (walks or sitting) must be in your home. I live in a condo that doesn't allow dogs. I promise to provide exceptional service.
About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂
“Jasmine was so lovely and sweet with our pup Sierra. She was reliable and on time for her walks and sent us lots of photos and videos. It is obvious that she has a passion for caring for animals. Would definitely recommend.”
“Paul did a fantastic job taking care of our puppies and gave them a long walk! He was great at communicating plans and made sure he had all the information needed before coming by. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Dayana was wonderful to work with! She took Suki for two walks a day for 9 days and we appreciated her getting the exercise....she slept good at night. The Rover Card for each walk was an unexpected touch that was appreciated. I didn't realize how comforting it would be getting the text with a map of each walk and update on bathroom habits would be. I would gladly hire Dayana any time I need a dog walker in the future.”
