“Cody and Sarah are extremely reliable, timely, responsible and take great care of our pup while we work! Communication is always great and quick. They are very flexible with our schedules. Also they take phenomenal pictures of our dog that make me smile every time!”
“Emily is exactly what I want a pet sitter to be. She asked questions, followed instructions, and gave our boys comfort, along with the necessities, while we were gone. Takes an extra worry off when traveling to know our furry family is safe and loved. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily!”
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.
“Armani was perfect! Easy going, asked a lot of questions, attentive and enjoyed the dog energy! She was flexible with my request for timing and last minute request. I am hoping to have her back here soon to hang out again!”
“Ellis helped us out in a pinch when we were in the middle of changing jobs! Our new puppy loved him and we trusted him from the start. He's a great guy, good with dogs, and I highly recommend his service!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals. I worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years and spent two years in high school working for a dog and cat boarding facility. Currently a medical student, I have a lot of flexibility. I’m able to complete morning, midday, and/or evening walks. I am often available on weekends. I have a fenced in porch and can take dogs out on leash. I live close by to the rail trail and in a very walkable neighborhood. I can administer topical, oral, and subcutaneous medications.
About: Hi! I’m Jill and am very experienced with doggos! I work full time in dog rescue and am looking to take on rover clients to help support that work. I have experience with all ages/sizes/breeds/temperaments! I am certified in Animal Behavior Management and love catering your pet’s activity and enrichment to their personality. Before working in dog rescue, I was a wildlife biologist for 10 years and still very much enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking - especially with dogs! Before that, I worked at a doggy day care and veterinary clinic. Animals have always been a central part of my life and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously! I work in animal rescue which allows me a somewhat flexible schedule. If I have a pet booking, your animal’s needs will be my first priority! I care for pets in the way they would like to be cared for. I love getting to know an animal and catering my services to them.
“Lillian was an amazing and attentive cat sitter! She completed the daily drop ins and played with my cat and gave her lots of love. My cat can get really anxious when she's left alone but when I came back home she was at ease and happy. I am so thrilled with the care she got from Lillian!”
“Kathryn took care of our rather antisocial and uncooperative cat during our vacation, coming twice a day to medicate her. It was not easy, but Kathryn was great about communicating with us and she creatively problem-solved to get the job done. We were super impressed with her reliability, patience and kindness. Highly recommended!! We are very grateful to her.”
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: Active on rover a couple of years during medical school, now looking to supplement my free attending time with furry friends to explore the upper valley! I love to hike and ski, always happy to take your pet on a fun adventure! I do shift work usually, so my schedule might not be very consistent, but I’m happy to work with you on it, just let me know! I’ve had plenty of time dog sitting, working at rover for a few years in Portland Maine and taking care of my husband’s family dog for weeks on end. Since my condo is rather small, I prefer petting sitting at their home. I like to keep their routine schedule, so would prefer clear instructions on the pet’s day to day.
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 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 had a family dog for my entire life. I walked my family’s dog nearly every day and have had experience pet sitting for family and friends when they are away. I am very active and am comfortable walking dogs for any desired distance! I am currently a medical student and looking to walk dogs and pet-sit in my free time after school during the week and on weekends! I have one friendly dog in my home. There is no fenced in yard, but have plenty of space for a crate and room to play!

“Noah took wonderful care of Easton, and all her needs! He is kind, trustworthy, and communicated with us throughout all his visits/walks - our dog absolutely loved him! Would highly recommend Noah to anyone looking for pet services!”
Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”

Elizabeth K.
“Liz is an exceptional pet sitter. She’s wonderful with both dogs and cats. She's patient, attentive, and caring. My cat is shy but Liz took the time to build trust, and now they’re best buds. She even taught him a few tricks, which I didn’t think was possible! My high energy dog can be a handful, but Liz handles him easily, you can tell she has tons of experience and really loves what she does. She’s also incredibly dependable. She responds to requests quickly (usually within minutes!) and has never canceled on me, even when my schedule has changed last minute. She’s always understanding, flexible, and easy to work with. She also worked in a vet office for several years, so I know that she'll know where to turn with emergencies!”

“Suchi has taken care of my two dogs many times and she is the most responsible and loving pet sitter there is. Both of my dogs are high needs and require daily medication, she was extremely attentive to their needs and made sure they were both comfortable. She goes above and beyond to provide a happy environment for pets and make them feel at home. I would absolutely ask Suchi to watch my dogs again.”
Sheila I.
“Sheila has been a fantastic caretaker for our dog Beazy! She's always extremely friendly and makes sure to go the extra mile. Beazy loves her and I feel very comfortable knowing Sheila is keeping her safe while I'm out. I highly recommend her.”
Liah D.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Liah! She watched my dog with exceptional attention to detail, noticing even the smallest changes in behavior and preferences. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does - from sending thoughtful updates to following care instructions perfectly. My pet returned happy and well-adjusted, clearly having received plenty of affection and proper care. Liah's reliability and communication made the entire experience stress-free. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who truly treats your furry family member as their own.”

Taylor M.
“Taylor is a very responsible person, who dearly loves to take care of dogs. They give her a spark of joy and you can see that in the way she cares for her own family dog. She consistently takes care of her family dog and takes ownership of the walks and care. She is timely and respectful and will be a great walker and caretaker of any dog placed in her trust.”
