“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

“Kasondra was great with our pups. She was very understanding with all our requests and made us feel comfortable having her take care of them. We’ll definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

About: Animals have always brought so much joy to my life. We currently have three amazing rescue dogs. Whenever I talk about adding another to the mix, my husband jokes that we can—as long as we get rid of one first! So, I figured I’d hack the system a bit by offering to help out with your pets instead. Now that my kids are all of driving age, I’ve found myself with a lot more free time. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience helping family and friends with their pets, and I’d love the chance to help you out too. Whether it’s for a weekend away or just a busy day, I’m here to make any time apart from your pet as easy and stress-free as possible. My schedule currently has the flexibility to extend care to your pets as needed. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday walk, keeping your pet company while you’re away, or helping maintain a routine they’re used to, I can easily fit it into the rhythm of my day. I will follow your specific institution when caring for your pet. I know how much our animals mean to us, and I will care for, love and spoil every pet I care for like they’re part of the family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I currently have a sweet 4-year-old mixed breed who I've raised since he was just 5 months old. Growing up with two German Shepherds, I learned early on how to care for and connect with dogs. I've regularly watched my brother's dog in both his home and mine, and I'm often the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I treat every pup like my own and aim to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for them while you're away! I work full-time from home, which means I have a super flexible schedule and can be around throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and company. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime breaks, or just having someone nearby to help them feel at ease, I’m able to provide a calm, consistent presence and adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that’s extra snuggles, quiet time, or active play. If I’m staying in your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow your care instructions closely, make sure they have plenty of companionship, and keep things tidy while you’re away. I always treat your space and your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Hi! I’ve lived in Chatham my whole life, but I’m new to Rover & would love to start taking care of more animals I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I got my first dog in 6th grade (he’s still with me almost 18 years later). I’ve dog sat for both friends and family many times. I’ve walked dogs since I was little too. I’ve got 3 of my own! Plus 3 cats. I’m a huge animal lover and have adopted all of mine from the shelters (except for my 17 year old Maltese). If I had enough money, I’d open an animal shelter of my own. I love to go on long walks and runs and always take my dogs with me. I work full time so nights and weekends are usually my availability right now. I work from home part of the week too so I can be flexible those days! I have a big fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. All of them are friendly but I can crate dogs if necessary.
