“Leaving our dog with a sitter through Rover for the first time was very nerve wracking but Joshua reassured us from the meet and greet to the very end of our vacation. He sent us updates everyday and communication was top tier. I would book with Joshua again. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is always wonderful with our anxious boy, Baxter! She’s friendly and helpful, cares about your pets and answers all your questions. I’ve always worried about Baxter when we are away, but when he’s with Heather I’m never worried! She’s the best!!”
“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”
“Bielka was wonderful! Kaiser loved staying with her! She is very easy to communicate with and very kind! She understood Kaiser’s health issues and took them seriously. Kaiser loved the walks through the woods and the snowy paths!”
“Rebecca did a great job with our dog Molly. This was our first time having our dog stay with Rebecca and she sent us pictures almost daily on how Molly was doing. Thanks Rebecca!!”
“Julia welcomed our puppy Riley into her home for 6 days. It was our first experience with Rover, and bringing Riley to someone's home outside of our family. We were amazed at how Riley quickly became comfortable! He was welcomed by Julia and soon learned the daily routine. Julia sent us tons of pictures - daily walks, playing with her dog, cuddling and napping. Her knowledge of puppies and training is very deep, and her quiet way was very reassuring to us, and for Riley. She even shared maps of her favorite trails so we could continue to take riley to some of his now favorite walks. We look forward to booking with Julia in the near future. She truly is a 5 star person!”
“Skipper had a great time and Donna kept me updated the whole time I was gone with pictures and letting me know he was doing great! I would highly recommend Donna to any dog owner.”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“I couldn't have for a better sitter. Julia was so communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates. Jake had such a good time and we trust Julia and her family to take care of him.”

“Aya and Abdullah are absolutely amazing. I was desperately looking for someone to care for my beautiful cat, Zoë while transitioning to a new place, and they were truly a blessing during such a stressful and emotional time. The moment they told me they could help, I felt such a huge sense of relief. They gave Zoë her own space, treated her with so much care, and sent daily pictures and updates that gave me so much comfort and peace of mind. They’re kind, reliable, professional, and always quick to respond. I trust them completely with Zoe and will definitely reach out to them again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet sitters!”

“Thank You to both Hailey and Kristopher for the super great care of Layla. Thank you for the photos and updates and most of all thank you for being understanding when I had a situation at work and had to extend the stay.”
“Nataliya was great about sending lots of pictures each day. Our dog had lots of outside playtime and looked so happy in the videos - even pictures of him snuggling on the couch. He was in good hands. ?”
“We’ve done doggie daycare before, but this was the first time we boarded our dog and she had a great time. Sophie enjoyed her time there and we already booked again for a week.”

“I hired Tiffany to take care of my cat’s needs for a day during a short road trip. She communicated well and did everything needed! Meeting and talking with her made it clear she’s a true animal person. Highly recommended for the care of any sort of pet!”
“Sorry Im so later with a review .Chelsea did a very good job taking care of Fred ,she gave him his insulin shots twice a day ,did a good job taking care of his food ,water and tray .Sorry you moved I would have you take care of Fred any day .”
“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Minnie is a great resource for cat sitting. We have three cats and one is very skittish. She will run when most people open the door. By the end of the 2nd day, she was sitting with Minnie on the couch allowing her to be pet, it was amazing. Minnie was great when the oldest cat had some kind of episode, possible seizure. Definitely recommended Minnie for taking care of your fur babies.”
“Andrea was very nice and had excellency communication. On top of that she was able to get Tucker in last minute (the next day). For sure recommend using Andrea for your furry family.”
“Olivia went above and beyond to take care of my cat Nona! She sent lots of lovely photos & took great care with Nona’s food, water, litter & playtime. She was super reliable and communicative. A phenomenal sitter!”
“Lindsay took care of our (cat) babies like they were her own. She took photos of them every time she came to see them, and spent time playing with them as well as feeding and medicating as needed. My cats loved her from the very first introduction. Lindsay is not only an animal lover, she's also a great lady. She surprised us with a list of places and things to try since she knew my husband and I had just moved into the area! We’re definitely looking forward to having her care for our cats in the future.”
“Lily was diligent and terrifically communicative. She put our minds at ease all throughout the process and connected with Pickles easily. A true animal lover and a true professional!”
“This is our 2nd time working with Samantha and she has been wonderful. Will continue to ask for help when we meed it. She is prompt, sends updates and pictures. I will recommend to everyone.”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a small kid and I've studied and learned everything possible to really understand them! I've become quite excellent at reading the smallest of cat body language. I love all of them and will love, and take care of yours, with utmost dedication and care! I'm also very experienced with cats who have a traumatic past and are reactive or skittish. I will love and take care of your kitties like they were my own!
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”
About: I have never lived without an animal in my home as a child or as an adult. Animals are true members of the family. I have volunteered in animal shelters for many years, and still continue to do so. Therefore, I have experience with all ages, including seniors, administering medications and general care and socialization, and more importantly know how to calm and make an animal feel safe and at ease. I will love your pet, send photos, and take as much time as needed to be sure his/her needs are met.
“Brye was an absolute delight and a wonderful pet sitter. She followed all of my instructions perfectly. Most importantly, the photographs she sent showed how much she connected with our cats. It was clear from their faces that they were content and happy. When I returned home, my kitties were well-cared for and joyful. I highly recommend Brye as your pet sitter. She is very attentive and truly loves pets.”

“Lindsey watched our dog, Jack, for an impromptu visit to the aquarium and lunch. She took WONDERFUL care of him and even though we’d never met her before, we were instantly put at ease by her calm and kind demeanor. Next time we’re in Newport, we’ll definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Lindsey!”

“This was my first time ever using rover as a customer and I am VERY impressed!!! We were in the area for a few errends, and didn’t want to leave our pup home for 8hrs😂 I got AMAZING pictures, she’s super sweet, and bonus points for taking my request THE MORNING OF! Simba didn’t even want to leave 😭 he had so much fun and I think will sleep the entire 3hr car ride home!”
“My 8yo dog Wilbur loved her time with Joshua and Rebecca! We haven't needed dog sitting or daycare often, and I am so glad I was able to find Joshua while in town on a work trip. Wilbur made new friends (she can be a loner but loves people), got out on tons of walks and creeks, and even got to ride in the dog van. It can be stressful finding the right dog care when on the road vs. at home with people you know, and I'm glad Wilbur got to spend a few day care days with this family!”
About: We love our dogs with an insane amount of love and care. They are our babies. Specializing in pugs and senior and disabled care. I am empathetic, give attention to detail, and give the utmost respect to all who are unable to care for themselves. 🐾🙂 Pet care doesn’t just FIT into the daily routine. It IS the daily routine, 24/7, no days off, no holidays. Our dogs are members of our family. I care for others animals just like I would want ours to be cared for. Which, if you know us, is like royalty. 😊😉 (Our pugs’ closet is bigger than mine.)
“My 2 dogs had a meet & greet with Nicole before spending the day at her home. There was a nice fenced in area and other dogs to play with. When I dropped them off for the day, they didn't even look back. She was kind enough to send photos during the day and let me know they were doing fine. I picked them up that evening - they were happy and tired!”
About: I am a mom to a wonderful 4 year old boy! I am a server at the moment, also looking to fill up some of my free time by spending time with and looking after some pups and cats since I am not allowed to have my own full time at the place I currently live! I have been around animals almost my entire life, mainly dogs, but also cats; birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, and also a chameleon! When I was around 7 up until age 12, I helped my aunts take care of over 20 miniature pinchers, as well as a Doberman, 5 cats, 3 ferrets, and two birds! And afterwards, I’ve lived with three pups that have absolutely all of my heart. Since moving out of my parents a several years ago though, I only get to see my pups a few times a week, and god do I miss being around them for snuggles, walks, and playtime outside. I cherish every moment with them. I don’t currently have any pups living with me at my own place, the stars haven’t aligned quite yet to take in a dog of our own, which is why I’ve decided to become apart of this community so that I am able to still spend more time with pups and also help out others who need their’s watched and cared for! I know most dogs (and some cats depending on their mood aha) just need lots of love and attention, and it can be super nerve wracking for them to be away from their owners, but also nerve wracking for the owners to leave their pets with a stranger. Dogs and cats are more than pets, they’re family. Trusting in me to care and look after your pet is something that will never be overlooked, and I will do whatever I can to ensure that they are cared for and kept safe, as well as doing whatever is needed to give you complete piece of mind that your loved one(s) are in the greatest of hands✨ I look forward to meeting you and your pups or kittys!! I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4 ! Weekends I usually do doubles so I don’t have much time on those days Although I don’t have a fenced in yard, there are plenty of parks around for exploring and play time, as well as some yard space just right outside my home if you don’t feel comfortable with your pup being brought elsewhere! My place isn’t too big but my home is their’s for as long as they’re here! I can give baths if needed, walks, snuggles, and playtime!
“Briahna was absolutely wonderful! She communicated regularly, sent cute pics of my puppy Rio, and treated him with so much love and affection. I would recommend Briahna to any first time or veteran pet owner looking for reliable, worry free, quality pet care. 10/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! Animals aren’t just a job for me—they are my absolute passion. I’ve been working professionally in the pet care industry since 2019, running my own successful dog daycare and boarding services. Because of my background, I bring a high level of expertise, safety, and dedication to every pet I care for. I’ve loved and managed just about every breed, size, and personality out there, and I deeply understand canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety protocols. I know how tough it can be to leave your four-legged family member behind, which is why my goal is to give them a fun, stress-free environment where they feel right at home. Whether your pup is a high-energy bundle of fun or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra patience, I tailor my care to what they need most. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Professional Expertise: Experience managing dietary needs, medicine administration, and diverse temperaments. • A Cozy, Structured Environment: Plenty of love, structure, and personalized attention so they feel like family. • Peace of Mind: Reliable communication and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I’m fully committed to making sure your dog has a fantastic, safe experience. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Because my profession and my lifestyle are completely centered around animals, pet care isn't just a task tacked onto my day—it is the structure of my daily and weekly routine. Here is a look at how pet care naturally shapes my schedule: The Daily Rhythm: Structure & Consistency Cats and dogs thrive on routine, so my days are built around predictable, high-quality care windows: • Morning Kickoff (The Energy Boost): The day always starts early with breakfast, fresh water, and essential health checks. For dogs, this means immediate outdoor time, structured group play, or morning walks to burn off early energy. For cats, it’s about refreshing litter boxes, feeding on a precise schedule, and offering some gentle morning scratches or playtime for the early risers. • Mid-Day Management (Balance & Maintenance): Mid-day is all about balance. It includes administering any afternoon medications, managing specific dietary needs, and supervising play dynamics to keep the environment safe and harmonious. For more independent pets or cats, this is a great time for quiet companionship, checking in on shy animals, and keeping their environment pristine. • Evening Wind-Down (Cozy Comfort): As the day wraps up, the focus shifts to winding down. After evening meals, I focus on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. This is the time for belly rubs, lap lounging, and ensuring every animal feels safe, secure, and treated like family before bed. The Weekly Flow: Communication & Upkeep On a weekly basis, pet care involves the operational behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly: • Constant Client Communication: A huge part of my week is dedicated to giving owners peace of mind. I stay in regular contact with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so clients never have to wonder how their furry family members are doing. • Environment & Safety Deep-Cleans: Maintaining a safe, hygienic space is a top priority. Weekly routines include deep-sanitizing play areas, washing bedding, checking safety gates, and thoroughly refreshing pet areas to ensure top-tier cleanliness. • Individualized Attention Planning: Every week brings different personalities, ages, and temperaments. I constantly adjust my weekly flow to accommodate high-energy pups who need extra exercise, or older, sensitive pets who require a quieter, more patient pace. Ultimately, blending professional expertise with genuine affection means that providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is second nature to my everyday routine. When pets stay with me, they are welcomed directly into my daily life and treated like a member of the family. My home environment is designed to offer the perfect balance of professional safety and domestic comfort. • A Tailored, Safe Environment: Because of my background in professional pet care, my home is fully set up for safety and supervision. I closely monitor all interactions and group dynamics, ensuring that high-energy pets have space to play while more sensitive or older animals have quiet, designated areas to relax undisturbed. • Consistency is Key: I replicate the structure pets need to feel secure. This means adhering to regular feeding schedules, prompt bathroom breaks, and managing specific dietary or medical needs with professional precision. • The Best of Both Worlds: Pets get the socialization, playtime, and mental stimulation they crave during the day, followed by a calm, cozy environment in the evening. There is always a warm lap, plenty of belly rubs, and a comfortable spot to wind down. In Your Home: Maintaining Comfort, Routine, and Security When I care for pets in your home—whether for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting—my primary goal is to minimize their stress by keeping their exact environment and routine completely unchanged. • Respecting the Routine: I step seamlessly into your pet’s normal schedule. I feed them in their usual spots, walk them along their familiar neighborhood routes, and follow your specific instructions to the letter. This continuity is especially vital for cats and anxious dogs, who thrive on predictability. • Focused, One-on-One Attention: Without the distractions of a daycare environment, your pet gets my undivided love and attention. Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, a focused neighborhood walk, or a quiet cuddle session on the couch with a sensitive cat, the time is entirely theirs. • Home Security & Peace of Mind: Beyond top-tier pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. I ensure doors are securely locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the living space is kept exactly as you left it. What You Get in Both Settings: Unmatched Peace of Mind. No matter where the care takes place, my commitment to communication never changes. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how relaxed, happy, and safe your furry family member is while you're away.
About: I am a reliable, active, and detail-oriented dog sitter. I tailor every stay to your dog's unique routine and personality. Fully equipped to handle feeding, medication, exercise and plenty of TLC. Let's chat about how I can make your dog's day great! I do doggie daycare/boarding full time, so I am always home. During the day, the pups go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the fenced yard, if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
About: I am a lover of all animals. I have owned and lived with dogs for over 15+ years and cats for 20+ years. I have also worked for a dog rescue in which I resided with at least 20 dogs daily. I understand the love and care that animals need and strive for! I have an 11 year old and 4 year old, in which I have 1 full time and the other split custody, so please be aware that there will always be at least one small child present! I live in an apartment in a house with plenty of room to roam! We are on the second floor, so we do have stairs, just incase your pet has an issue with them. I look forward to meeting your pets and having some fun! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I work from home so I only usually have to leave to either pick up the kids or run errands! I am available all day to attend to your loved ones! I will always treat your loved ones as if they were my own! Lots of love and attention! We will play games and run around like goof balls!
“I handed Katherine an elderly, deaf, medically compromised Cavalier and she did a beautiful job caring for Miley who needed medications and soothing comfort. What we learned is Miley will do best staying in her own familiar home to have care come to her. Katherine called with any concerns and shared pics. I would trust Katherine to care for Miley again given how knowledgeable and gentle she is. Katherine showed both customer service and professionalism while Miley was in her care. A 5 star provider”
“Julianna was a great dog sitter. She met us the night before to us. She was flexible when our plans changed slightly. She was responsive to messages and provided lots of pictures and comments to put us at ease. We will definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a dog sitter when we are in Londonderry. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“Heather was an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic sitter! She jumped in last minute when we needed her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She provided regular updates with messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to hear how my dog enjoy playing together with her dog, enjoyed a little backyard chase, and even went on a car ride! Heather even let my dog borrow a coat for their walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she provided, making sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative sitter, Heather is the best! I highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
About: I have always been described as the animal lover in my family, always trying to convince my parents to get me a new pet. I have been petsitting since 2020, and have excellent references! I’m comfortable with anything from feeding, to walking, to just hanging out, to administering medication! I am currently home in New Hampshire from college in Boston looking to expand my pet sitting experience! I am free almost every day, and can provide exceptional and reliable care for your pets. Pets at my home are always taken care of with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I have a fenced in yard!

“Highly recommend! We use Josh for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. Our dogs LOVE Josh and so do we. He is extremely dependable, an amazing communicator, and treats our girls like their one of his own. One of our girls can be very reactive towards other dogs while on walks and Josh took the time to help with this. He was even able to include one of his dogs on a walk with our reactive pup after some training. The walk went great and we can see such a difference in our girls behavior for the better! We truly couldn’t ask for better care for our girls. 10/10!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my reliability, but also my lifelong experience with dogs. I grew up with a Labrador who showed me the joy of unconditional love, and I recently had to say goodbye to my sweet girl after 12 wonderful years together. She was truly family, and I cared for her through every stage of life, which gave me a deep understanding of what it means to love and look after a dog. Now, I get to share that love with my two young kids (ages 4 and 6), who absolutely adore dogs and treat every pup like their own playmate. Whether it’s long walks, cozy snuggles, or just keeping up with your dog’s daily routine, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and part of our pack. Because I work full time during the week, I reserve dog care for weekends only—this way I can dedicate my attention and energy to your pup. My weekends are open for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and my kids and I love having the extra time to focus on making each dog feel happy and cared for. By keeping my schedule this way, I can promise that your furry family member won’t just “fit into” my day—they’ll become a part of my family for the day(s). When caring for dogs, I focus on keeping them active, loved, and comfortable. My two young kids (ages 4 and 6) have endless energy and love to play, so visiting pups get plenty of attention and interaction. I live in a quiet town with lots of sidewalks and nearby neighborhoods, which makes for safe and enjoyable walks. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I do have plenty of grassy space for outdoor time, and I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or downtime, I’ll make sure your pup feels right at home.
“So happy to have found Lily! She is amazing with my dogs! I really appreciate that she wants to get to know your pet and their specific needs, very loving and caring.Thank you Lily you’re a true gem!”
About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.
About: I treat animals as a parent would with a child. It's all about knowing that every creature has a personality of their own and providing the appropriate enforcement for positive behavior and training. I work full-time, yet I make time for evening walks with my dog (if the temperature is bearable). On the weekends, I take her for 1-2 walks within the two days. Late Spring to mid Fall is the best time for outdoor fun. I have another older dog that is crate trained if they need to be caged in because of visitors. If a dog is trained well enough to not run off, I do have a wide open backyard they can run around in.
“Lindsay was fantastic! I will continue to use her in the future when I need a dog walker/pet sitter. She is responsive, attentive and even brought in my packages that were left at my door. I highly recommend Lindsay.”
“Olivia has been such a blessing to help break up the day for my newly rescued pup, Woody. She is kind, patient, friendly, responsive and is a great communicator. She takes her time with Woody never seemingly rushing or overwhelming him. She takes his ques when he’s anxious on walks and wants to return home pivoting to a play session out back or inside with his toys and giving me a debriefing. I was anxious about utility Roover at first with some friends poor experiences. My anxiety quickly disappeared after a brief FaceTime to connect prior to Woodys first walk. Woody and I certainly got lucky with finding Olivia to be apart of our days/weeks. Thank you Olivia for being you, we are truly grateful for you.”
“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”
“I highly recommend Annie! She has been so patient and caring with Peter, taking the time to let him get comfortable and build trust at his own pace. It means so much to know he’s in such kind and capable hands. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
About: I've always had animals in my life since the day I was born. I was brought up to love all creatures big and small. My true passion and love in this life is for the animals. I have worked with mainly cats and dogs. Volunteered in many animal shelters in NH and CT. At one time I lived in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where I helped run an animal shelter. Saving many animals from bad situations. I also went around to the schools down there educating the children on how to care for an animal. When I moved back to the USA I started volunteering at my vet where I brought my dogs for care. My vet ran a rescue called All Better Pets. She turned it over to us volunteers. We created a Board where I became Treasurer. I have no children so my animals are my children. This is just a brief description of the many things I have done to help. Thank you for reading this and Happy Tails!! I am an LNA and currently I work Monday through Friday with seniors through a private company. I would eventually like to get back into working with animals full time. I am looking to walk, feed and or care for your furbaby in your home. Currently I can not Board an animal as my friend who I live with has 3 cats, 1 which is old and sick. Sorry! Currently in my home we have 3 cats. Our dog has passed. They have free range of the home and many places to look out the windows along with climbing towers etc. When my dog was alive she had an electric fence where she was free to roam while we were home.

“Aya and Abdullah are absolutely amazing. I was desperately looking for someone to care for my beautiful cat, Zoë while transitioning to a new place, and they were truly a blessing during such a stressful and emotional time. The moment they told me they could help, I felt such a huge sense of relief. They gave Zoë her own space, treated her with so much care, and sent daily pictures and updates that gave me so much comfort and peace of mind. They’re kind, reliable, professional, and always quick to respond. I trust them completely with Zoe and will definitely reach out to them again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet sitters!”
