Katie’s awesome! So friendly and helpful and genuine. I was in a bind and so lucky to have her take care of our dog for the day. It took the stress away not having to worry about our dog’s care-you can tell she cares. She went out of her way to be tidy and even took our dog on long walks despite the rain! We will definitely use her again!

About: I am a cat mom and lover of all animals! I have experience with many types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and birds, to farm animals. I currently have a medically needy pet of my own, so I am well-versed in medicine administration and caring for animals with different needs. I am currently working at a school, so I have afternoons and weekends pretty much free! While I am caring for your pets, they are my number one scheduling priority. I will meet your pet where they are at in their own home, allowing them to stay in their safe space. I will adapt to their routines and give them a seamless experience until you return to them!

Sounds like Kai has a new friend. Thanks for accommodating the earlier start time. Let me know if you have success with her not jumping. It’s her love language but most people don’t care for it. Hoping as she gets more accustomed to her new home, she’ll be able to stay home ithiut the crate but not yet.

About: Coastal Maine dog daycare manager turned Palmer pet sitter 🦞🐾 Hi! I’m Mia. I have 5+ years of professional experience working as an assistant manager at a busy dog daycare & boarding facility in Maine, along with several years of private dog walking and pet sitting experience. Caring for dogs has become my full-time passion, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and routine. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments and I’m comfortable with structured routines, medications, leash handling, feeding schedules, multi dog households, and dogs with different energy levels or personalities. Drop-in Visits: a 30 minute visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding & lots of love 🫶🏻 Walks: a 30 or 60 minute neighborhood walk tailored to your dogs energy level and routine 🦮 Adventure Walks: an extended outing to local trails, parks, or other dog friendly spots for extra exercise and enrichment 🐾 Pet Sitting: Your pup gets to stay cozy at home while receiving loving one-on-one care. Overnight stays include evening and morning routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. 🏠 I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to provide reliable, personalized care that keeps both pets and owners comfortable and happy. Pet care is my full time job! I currently offer dog walks, drop-in visits, puppy visits, and selective overnight care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention while making sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

This is the first time we’ve ever had an outside person come to our home to care for our pup and it was nothing but a positive experience. From the meet and greet to the drop-in, Kage exceeded our expectations. His kindness and professionalism impressed us; he followed all of our instructions to a T, (our dog is under a medical protocol and needed special care) and his update at the end of the drop-in was very reassuring, detailed and thoughtful. We will not hesitate to have him come back to take care of Josie!

About: My household currently contains 2 black cats and a pitbull mix! I live for the chaos and love that animals bring into a home! I have potty trained young puppies, given an inhaler to a stubborn cat and many more things! I have a flexible full time work schedule and I often come home at lunch or work from home to hang out with my pets. I prefer to keep pets in their familiar environment and visit them. I find that reduces stress and allows for me to build a better relationship with the animal.

About: I’ve cared for family and friends pets throughout my life, as well as my own pets. I’ve had to administer medications and follow specific protocols before. Your pet is my number one priority when I am pet sitting and I will keep you updated the whole time for your peace of mind! I’m currently working part time (only about 13 hours per week) as the school year has ended for the summer. I am only working about 8:30am to 12pm, 3-4 days per week, so I have tons of availability for your pet! I have a huge yard as well as a dog and cat to keep your pet company! I also can keep my pets separated if that’s better for you as well. I have a large crate if it is needed and a very pet safe home! If I am sitting in your home, I will follow all guidelines and make sure your pet receives the best care.

About: Hi! my name is April, I am new to Rover, as you can probably see. In my bio I am going to be as honest and sincere in this explanation of who I am and why you should choose me to care for your pet(s). I recently moved to North Brookfield and in doing so lost contact with a 9yr. old rescued Rottweiler who I loved and cared for. I would walk her, give her medication and feed her of course. I miss her presence. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the excess of free time that I have. This job opportunity seems like it will be the perfect fit. I have had many years of experience living with and caring for multiple breeds of dogs, including Rottweiler, Pitbull, Great Dane and numerous other breeds. I am an energetic woman who thrives on outdoor activities, I love exploring nearby parks, or strolling through neighborhoods I haven’t yet explored. My experience extends beyond dogs; I’ve also shared my home with cats, and I even had a wonderful rabbit who enjoyed our walks together. I recently completed a Red Cross certification in cat and dog, first aid, which enhances my ability to provide safe and responsible care for your pets. My deep fondness and connection with animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet that I take care of receives the attention and exercise they deserve. If you are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic pet walker, who will treat your beloved animal like a best friend, I would love to connect! I am currently studying for a new profession. My studies work around my schedule so caring for your pet, whenever you need me to is not an issue. I unfortunately cannot bring pets to my residence as I am renting a house right now. If you become my client, I will treat your home and your property with the utmost respect. I also have a vehicle large enough to accommodate most dogs and would be thrilled to take them to parks if that’s what works for all of us.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have been trusted to care for them consistently. Having 2 of my own dogs and many reptiles/amphibians, my care for pets goes deeper than most. I am currently working on becoming credentialed as a NP so I am no longer working a full time job, making me free almost any day. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs but am also available to come to your home as needed! I have a home of my own as well so I know the importance of keeping the home safe and clean for our little friends.

About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.
