We were traveling for 9 days out of the country and really appreciated her caring and thoughtful messages. It really was clear how much she cared for our dog and it was very much appreciated.”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away.

I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Dolev was great with Mocha. Mocha was a little anxious when I left her (normal for her) but she settled in beautifully. I got a lot of pictures of Mocha having fun and playing with Dolev and the smaller humans :). I felt relieved that Mocha was getting a ton of attention and Dolev was great about communicating back with us. I'll definitely book with her again!”

“Mercis is the BEST pet-sitter!!!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of my dog Sherlock, be it food, walks or anything!! I had to visit my home country and it is very hard to stay away from my fur baby, but I had no worries as Sherlock was with Mercis!! She kept me informed daily with pictures and video calls! Seriously I don’t know what we’d do without Mercis! Sherlock adores her and so do we!!!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She had amazing communication throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my dog.

I would happily book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her.”

About: Aside from having grown up with several cats, I’ve watched a few family cats, as well as a few cats belonging to past clients’ on occasion. I understand that cats are very different from dogs, in both body language and behavior. I understand that building meaningful, trusting relationships with cats takes time and patience. Just as with dogs, I know that every cat is unique in their own way. I use the same approach as I do with dogs, in that I meet each cat where they are at and adjust my approach as necessary. For instance, I give cats time to adjust and become comfortable with me, allowing them to build trust and confidence. I am committed to making each visit a positive and enjoyable one for everyone involved.

I love all pets and will provide lots of love and affection. I’m willing to give walks and/or do overnights.
About: Two decades means I’ve seen it all—and handled it with patience, expertise, and genuine love. I know the difference between a playful nip and anxiety, between a minor upset stomach and something that needs attention. I take time to learn your pet’s quirks, routines, and preferences. Does your dog need that specific toy before naptime? Does your cat only drink from a running faucet? I’ve got it covered. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed notes about meals, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. You’re never left wondering how your furry family member is doing. I can schedule around being available for animals who need reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort. In your home, I maintain your pet’s established routine to minimize stress—feeding schedules, favorite nap spots, and playtime rituals stay consistent. I provide fresh water, engaging activities, and plenty of affection. For walks, I match your dog’s energy level and preferences. I keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular photo updates so you can see your pet thriving. Whether it’s administering medication, accommodating special diets, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet with the individualized attention they deserve while respecting your home.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
“My Idgy was so excited to spend the day with Amanda and her family. She hopped right out of the truck and ran right into the house when Amanda greeted us at the door. Idgy got lots of playtime with Amanda and her pup. She is an asset to have on Rover.”

About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!

About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
“Donnie is the man. An absolute life saver. My girls story is long so I won’t get into details. When I came across Donnie on Rover, and after reading his profile and reviews, I felt he was the one for Nala. We did a meet and greet and within seconds of meeting us he corrected me on what I was doing wrong. I respected that, because to me that showed me he straight up and real. Also, he was the very first K9 professional that didn’t sell me dreams and he made no promises. He gives off a bright welcoming glow and is always sporting a huge smile. Since Nala has been attending his daycare she has become a completely different dog. A dog that i had always hope for her. She definitely has a ways to go, but my goodness has she come far. Last night, for the very first time in her entire life, as I came up to her she rolled on her back and gave me her belly. I know that is something very small, but for us it’s huge!!!! From that moment on I knew my girl was going to be okay. And we owe it all to Donnie. He has saved my family, but most of my girl. Donnie deserves 20 stars, no 100. Donnie and his family are amazing and their love and passion for dogs is astounding. If you are looking for help with you pups…..I would only have Donnie to recommend. He is the true dog whisperer.”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.
“Megan was a hero. She took our last minute request to take care of our pup, Cubby, and he had a great time snuggling all day with her. She sent constant updates throughout the day and it was great getting to see how his day went. The report card at the end of the night was so cute. Would definitely leave Cubby with her again in the future!”
“Cheryl has a great setup and is a dog lover and incredible resource! We had a meet and greet prior to the day I dropped off my 4 month old puppy and I felt at ease leaving her there (her first daycare experience which could’ve been nerve wracking but I knew she’d be in great hands). My pup was tired from playing and learning from the other dogs there and slept so well after! I will be using Cheryl’s services again in the future!”
“Damaris was great with Pepper. This was Pepper's first dog sitting and she has a lot of separation anxiety. Damaris was very considerate of that fact and took great care of Pepper. I was able to drop her off at short notice. I'd definitely recommend her services!”
“Literally soooo awesome!! Such a sweet, caring, and kind person!! She truly made me feel so happy leaving my pup with her because she was so communicative, sent pictures and videos, and assured me he was truly in good hands. She’s easily accessible and super responsive. I also appreciate how responsible and on time she was with the pick up and drop off for my dog’s daycare with her. I truly appreciate Katherine!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of various sizes/breeds and walks of life for 16 years now. I’m a caring individual and get along very well with animals!

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.

She navigated our apartment complex without any problems and always sent very detailed reviews with multiple pictures of our little cherub.

She’s extremely reliable and trustworthy and we are already hoping to book again with her!”

“Jennifer is so wonderful with my boys. She is great with communicating. Plus it’s all the little extra added care that she gives, treats when she comes in, wipes them down when wet, evening going as far as covering the couch so they wouldn’t make a mess. Couldn’t recommend more”
“Dylan is just awesome. I moved to my apartment and under last minute circumstances I needed someone to take care of my Dog, Jolene, while I work long hours. He stepped right up and put my mind at ease. He made sure she was comfortable and even helped get her to eat her food! (Had some anxiety after moving) 10/10 recommend!”
About: My name is Betina, and I live in North Andover, MA—a community I truly love and proudly advocate for. Although I grew up in South Florida, my passion for animals has followed me everywhere. I even used Rover back then, and I still believe it’s a wonderful way to connect caring pet parents with trustworthy caregivers. My love for animals began in childhood. I used to knock on neighbors’ doors asking if they needed their dogs walked or washed. Growing up, I shared my home with cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish—and I still have fish today. I truly adore them. I attended a zookeeping camp where I helped care for and train elephants, and I spent my summers at Circle F Dude Ranch, where I proudly served as the rodeo drill team captain. Animals have always been my calling. One of my favorite childhood memories is inviting all the neighborhood cats over for my cat’s birthday party. As an adult, I’ve built extensive professional experience in animal care. I’ve worked in pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, and been part of doggy daycare teams. I proudly graduated from Merryfield School of Pet Grooming and continue to expand my knowledge through online education and attending AKC dog shows. I worked at Petco for 10 years, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and pet needs. I also took full responsibility for my mother’s dog, Jackson, who was diabetic, blind, deaf, and struggled with high anxiety. I administered insulin injections twice daily and managed his long-term trazodone medication with care and dedication. One of my own dogs, Bandit, suffered from chronic ear infections, which required daily treatment. I’ve also lovingly nursed newborn puppies until they were healthy and ready for adoption—and yes, I still have the pictures. They were absolutely adorable. I am CPR certified and hold animal safety certifications. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am, and it’s been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. This is my business . I have open, flexible availability because caring for pets is my full-time career. As a business owner, my focus is entirely on your pets’ needs. This is not a hobby or a temporary job—it’s what I do professionally. With experience, education, and genuine passion, I aim to be every pet’s favorite person when you’re away. I’m passionate about pet sitting and grooming in home to make the pets comfortable and happy. In home pet sitting and grooming also eliminates the hassle of transporting pets , no more wasting gas, no more car sick pets, no more struggling in and out of the car. No more leaving your pet in a strange place and In a kennel all day. Another advantage of in home pet sitting and grooming is you know your pet will be in a clean safe environment. No dog fights or over crowded environments. Best of all your pet will feel secure in their own home. That’s why I come to you and become part of your pets family. Your pets and I will have lots of time to bond. I take the necessary time to get to know your pet and their routine. I give them my whole undivided individual attention with my whole heart. So your pet gets the care and love your pet deserves.

“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Bowser seems to have had a wonderful time with Rebecca and her family! The photo updates were great to share with our kiddos so they could see he was having a nice vacation too 😊”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Lindsay was a great sitter for our dog Wellington. She provided pictures and updates regularly which made all the difference. We were traveling for 9 days out of the country and really appreciated her caring and thoughtful messages. It really was clear how much she cared for our dog and it was very much appreciated.”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away. She treated my dog like her own and im so greatful for her care of my dog! Honey Bee also loved her and felt right at home with Caty and her family.”
“We highly recommend Faith! She was easy to book, communicate with before and during our dogs stay and she treated our dog like family. We received daily updates and photos and knew that she was in good hands. We will definitely be using Faith again whether it be for an extended stay, walk or visit.”
“Dolev was great with Mocha. Mocha was a little anxious when I left her (normal for her) but she settled in beautifully. I got a lot of pictures of Mocha having fun and playing with Dolev and the smaller humans :). I felt relieved that Mocha was getting a ton of attention and Dolev was great about communicating back with us. I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She had amazing communication throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my dog. She gave him treats, made sure he got plenty of walks, and truly made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m pretty sure he thought he was on a little spa retreat! I would happily book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“My very senior Great Pyr, Katia, was safe and sound for two weeks under Donnie's excellent care. So glad and grateful for him, and especially appreciate the photographs!!”
“Donna was an amazing sitter for our puppy. She took good care of Uva and made sure she was comfortable at her house. He also kept me informed about Uva all time. I will recommend Donna to anyone who needs a petsitter.”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“Cassandra is great! We met up for a meet and greet. She asked all the right questions and listened to my concerns regarding care for Chente. Would highly recommend her and use her in the future.”
“We boarded our 2y old whippet, Willow, with Lucille for an overnight. As a nervous parent, I couldn't have felt more confident in the care I knew Lucille would provide for Willow. She and her husband David are such lovely people, and they have a warm, welcoming home. Willow immediately took to her home away from home. Lucille took her outside frequently and went on multiple long walks with her. I left instructions for Willow's diet, snack time and bedtime routine that she followed to the letter. I can't say enough good things about the care Lucille provided, and we will definitely be boarding with her again - likely within the month!”
