She has a lot of experience with dogs with mobility concerns.I know my dog had a great time hanging out with her — I would truly recommend her dog sitting services to anyone who needs it.”

“Abigale was wonderful with Bailey our senior pup. She administered his special diet food and sent us great daily photo updates which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. They provided a safe, cozy environment and we joked that Bailey seemed to have made himself right at home! I would not hesitate to book with them again !”
“I'm so glad I found Megan! After being disappointed by seeing a few kennels, I decided to look for a boarder through Rover. Megan was very responsive to initial questions and even offered photos of her space! I felt comfortable booking. She is someone who truly cares about animals with a few pets of her own and space set up for them to explore inside and out. It definitely seems like a way of life rather than a side gig. My 15 year old dog had a good week with Megan in her quiet neighborhood.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Great clean and organizes place. clear communication. Adam was very friendly and the house was very clean, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for duration of his stay. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Kitsu. I will definitely be booking with Adam again! Highly recommended.”
“Happy and satisfied with Lataya quick response time and positive attitude given my last minute schedule changes. She is the best doggie MOM to my puppy Charlie! We bothare happy! 😌”
“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Aishea was great! She was very welcoming to my cat for his first boarding experience. She kept me updated and sent texts and pics during his stay. I knew he was being well cared for and I have already booked another stay with her and her family.”
“From the moment we met Caitlin and her family, we knew this was a perfect match for our Gracie. We could tell from the pictures and updates that she felt right at home and got plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. The kids were great with Gracie and you could tell the feeling was mutual. We will definitely book with Caitlin again!”
“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!
“Minnie had a great stay with Glorymar, and her dog Buddy was also a great host, helping my dog who can be shy around people feel right at home for the weekend. My dog can be bossy with other dogs and Buddy let Minnie be the leader of the pack. Glorymar’s neighborhood is great for dog walks. I would definitely rebook next time I’m in Springfield.”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”

“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”

“Rachel is amazing at helping check in on our two cats. Especially as we navigate end of life care for our senior cat. We trust her to take care of them when we need help. The report card is always super helpful as well!”
“We wanted the best for our babies when we were going away for over a week, and we got the best! Heather was caring, communicative and thorough with our cats and when we got home they were happy and regulated. All we could ask for. Heather helped us enjoy our trip with her professionalism and care.”
“Michelle was great! We have two anxious kitties so we were nervous about finding someone to take care of them, but Michelle did great. She was very reliable and communicative. She gave us updates about the kitties and played with them. When we got back they seemed very relaxed and were not anxious because we were gone the way we thought they may be, this tells me she gave them a good amount of love and care! ☺️ Definitely recommend her if you have sensitive pets, she’s very caring!”
“Hallie is the best! Our kitties were happy and obviously well cared for when we returned from a long weekend trip. Hallie goes out of her way to keep us updated with detailed check ins and beautiful photos of our furbabies. She’s a knowledgeable and experienced pet sitter and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Robin is amazing!!! Prompt, communicative, and took great care of our two kitties. Knowing she was checking in on them every day made our honeymoon that much more relaxing. Thanks for spending time with our fur babies!”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)
“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”
“Eryn is amazing! I trust her completely in my home and with my cat, Bean. She is incredibly attentive, genuinely caring, and always follows through on any instructions or tasks I leave for her. I can tell she truly enjoys spending time and playing with Bean, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so happy to have found her as my pet sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
About: I’ve had my own cat Frankie since he stole my heart as a kitten 12 years ago. If you are in need of drop-in visits, I would be happy to check in with your own lovable feline. 🐈🐈⬛

About: On my third birthday, a litter of puppies was born in on my kitchen floor. Best present ever! There have always been dogs in my life ever since. I've learned a great deal from them. I can't imagine my life without dogs. As a result, I have an expansive knowledge of dog breeds, training, psychology, and an ever-growing love of animals and understanding of their needs. I have even whelped a litter of puppies on my own. And in 2020, dog walking was how I paid the bills. The anxiety of having someone new care for your fur baby is something I have also suffered from. Pictures and pupdates of your furry friend I am more than happy to provide. Let me know what would put your mind at ease. My work schedule is flexible. I do freelance photography. Which, I guess, makes dog walking a good fit. I have cats at home, which I love and snuggle every day💕 I used to walk dogs professionally when I lived in Boston so I have experience with a lot of different types of people and homes and pets. I do my best to treat another person's home with respect, as if it were my own. Having used Rover for my own pets, I understand that trust is a two-way street and I would never want to jeopardize that.
About: I am an aspiring veterinary nurse with multiple years of experience in animal welfare. I have 3 cats with complex medical needs, so I am well equipped to provide medications or other special care- within my "purrview"! I am a crazy cat lady at heart but love dogs as well. I have experience with drop in visits for cats & dogs, as well as overnight stays. I treat every animal with love & respect and look forward to giving your furry family members some comfort while you're away 🩷
About: I absolutely adore cats! Growing up with cats taught me how to read their cues and respect their boundaries. I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, including those who are a bit more reserved. I pride myself on being patient, giving them space when they need it, and creating a peaceful, stress-free environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I can't wait to meet your kitty 🩷😺

“We have loved working with Tricia! Very flexible, understanding, and affordable. She went the extra mile for our senior dog. Can’t wait to book the next visit for our dog!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs/animals mostly all my life ,im 21 and owned a dog half my life also but sadly i had to put him down so now i would love to dog sit to still show my love , interest and care into dogs without owning my own again yet i’m home all day unless i make plans and adding pet care into my day would allow me to be more active and it just gives me something do to during the day i have a fended in yard and a good sized back yard for pets to play and roam freely , no other pets in the house hold at the moment,
“Jamie did a great job watching my dog at her home. She was friendly and communicative and shared updates and photos during the visit. I would definitely recommend and use her again in the future.”
“We left our puppy with Destanie to care for the day, so that we could celebrate a birthday. This was our puppies' first time away from home and our puppy wasn't fully accustomed to new people, new dogs, new surroundings and new routines yet, so both our puppy and we were a bit nervous about leaving him for the day. But Destanie did a fine job of addressing all our anxieties and our puppy was very well cared for. We received periodic pictures of our puppy throughout the day to reassure us that he was happy and having fun, so we could focus on just having our own fun with the birthday events. I would gladly recommend Destanie as a dog care provider and I would use her services again.”
“Sarah is very attentive to my dog! She has made her very welcome and my dog has adjusted very well. I am very glad to have a safe and comfortable place to leave my dog while I am at work. Sarah is wonderful!”
“Absolutely outstanding, caring and supportive . Excellent communication and max loves James and his family. Always leave max excited and when I bring him back, he is already missing James.”

“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”
“Katie and her family were an absolute dream! I couldn’t be more pleased with how attentive and caring they were towards our puppy. I highly recommend Katie! I wish we lived closer to use her again! Thank you, Katie!”
“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”
About: I sincerely LOVE getting to know each individual dog's personality (quirks and all!) and learning about what makes them happiest. I have many years of experience: walking dogs in NYC & in Western Mass; pet-sitting for my friends', neighbors' and partner's dogs (as well as for other types of pets). I create a warm, nurturing and happy environment for my precious furry friends to thrive. (Please note: on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, I am usually available from 11 AM-5:30 PM; on Mondays & Wednesdays, I am usually available from 11 AM -12 PM) I'm currently working part-time as a educator (tutor) so I have ample time to provide dog care (walking, drop-in day care and occasional boarding) during the week, Mon-Wed and Thurs-Friday. On occasion, I may be able to board dogs during the weekend. I live in an extremely peaceful, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood (the Plains of Easthampton) toward the end of a cul-de-sac. So there is almost no cars or traffic here. I do have a front & back yard. Although it is not fenced, it is backed by trees and, as mentioned, almost zero traffic

I have a separate and clean space in my basement if needed giving plenty of room to run and play with plenty of toys for pets. Let me not forget my fun and loving family which includes my husband two teenage kids and my self.
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“Hannah was great, she kept me updated and sent me photos/ videos to show me how much fun my puppy had. It was nice to see Reese with his new dog friends Wolf and Connie 😊 She has a very large backyard with so much room to run and play. I will definitely be bringing Reese back again.”
About: My pets have ranged from lively German shepherds to disabled chihuahuas, wandering hounds, lively Shetland sheepdogs. and even feral cats and their litter of kittens who claimed my home as theirs until they were ready, healthy, and cleared to go to loving homes. I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - health needs through special needs. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each.

“Mr. Sampson absolutely loves his walks with Jacklyn. He’s slightly dog reactive, and Jacklyn handles him just fine! She fills his water bowl when it’s empty, send pictures, and often gives a quick summary of how the walk went. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs & cats since I was little. As an adult, I have been pet sitting an dog walking part-time for the past two years. I love all the amazing critters I've gotten to meet and care for - as well as the humans too (some pet sitting has even turned into babysitting for the same clients!) I consider it a great pleasure to get to work with animals everyday, experience the great outdoors with them (even if in winter 🥶 and summer 🥵), and be a trusted resource for my clients. I currently have two rescue dogs with my partner - a 45lb bossy-cuddler named Luanne and a 77lb sweet, shy girlie named Sheeba! I currently am working part time (3xweek) with a varying schedule. Usually a shift will be between 6-8 hours. If your pets can make it 6-8 hours some days, I’m sure we can work something out! I have a fenced in yard at my home that I am able to let dogs out in through out the day. I also provide my dogs with a walk in the morning and a longer walk in the afternoon for exercise and lots of good sniffs!
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.
About: I’m young and active and love animals. I recently became a foster parent and taken care of 2 dogs and a cat before giving them away to good families. I have a flexible schedule and work mostly from home, giving me plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether it’s pet sitting or walks, I’m happy to provide reliable and loving care! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions carefully to ensure their needs are met. With toys and treats from my past foster pets, I’m always ready to make them feel at home. I live in a spacious house in a gated community with a large front yard, plus I have access to a neighborhood park and a dog park just a few miles away. I pay close attention to details, especially if your pet seems uncomfortable, and I can’t help but shower them with love and attention because they’re just too cute!

She has a lot of experience with dogs with mobility concerns.I know my dog had a great time hanging out with her — I would truly recommend her dog sitting services to anyone who needs it.”
“Patti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldn’t leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!”
“My dog had a great time with Jessiana. You can tell how much dedication and care she provided him. She is very responsive and accommodating. 100% recommended.”
“Abigale was wonderful with Bailey our senior pup. She administered his special diet food and sent us great daily photo updates which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. They provided a safe, cozy environment and we joked that Bailey seemed to have made himself right at home! I would not hesitate to book with them again !”
“I'm so glad I found Megan! After being disappointed by seeing a few kennels, I decided to look for a boarder through Rover. Megan was very responsive to initial questions and even offered photos of her space! I felt comfortable booking. She is someone who truly cares about animals with a few pets of her own and space set up for them to explore inside and out. It definitely seems like a way of life rather than a side gig. My 15 year old dog had a good week with Megan in her quiet neighborhood.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Great clean and organizes place. clear communication. Adam was very friendly and the house was very clean, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for duration of his stay. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Kitsu. I will definitely be booking with Adam again! Highly recommended.”
“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”

“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
About: My pets have ranged from lively German shepherds to disabled chihuahuas, wandering hounds, lively Shetland sheepdogs. and even feral cats and their litter of kittens who claimed my home as theirs until they were ready, healthy, and cleared to go to loving homes. I have 30 years experience with puppies through seniors - health needs through special needs. Training for puppies on leash walks through walking seniors in a stroller. I excel at bonding and building trust with pets and look to have a unique connection with each. I am currently working part time (remotely) and fully available to care for your pets, play with them, give them all the attention, care, and love they deserve! Morning, afternoon, evening, late night care is well within my timeframe. Caring for your dog: I will only walk on leash - no unleashed care unless within a fully fenced backyard. If you are training your dog, I will be able to continue with training. I am able to administer medication if needed. If your dog has any allergies or requires special food, please be sure to let me know. Happy to perform brushing or baths if needed. Pets, hugs, playtime, or lounging and relaxing - whatever their preference and makes them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. As for caring for your cats, I request a full schedule of their feeding times, and recommendations as to what they enjoy playing with. If they like to be brushed, please note. If they are skittish or love attention from people, please let me know so I can provide them with a level of care that will allow them to feel safe.
