“Heather and her family took great care of Tucker. We picked him up for some day trips and was always excited to return to Heather's with his new friends. Thank you again to Heather and Her family. Heather Tucker is enjoying his fresh eggs in the morning. Great experience!!!”
“It was very easy to work with Katie from scheduling a meet and greet to arranging the drop off and pick up times. She and her daughter were very good to our little chihuahua and accommodated the special needs of a tiny dog (5 lbs) who admittedly is a bit of a princess. She is also an excellent communicator, sending us pictures and updates regularly as she was sensitive to the fact that we were nervous leaving our pup in a new place. Thank you Katie!”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Nicole is the best sitter! Our Emma loves her dog Wilbur. She is excited each time to see Nicole and loves being there. Her last stay was for a week and she showed no signs of anxiety at all. She adjusted to being back home with no problems.”
“Rebecca was amazing with our 2 newfoundlands! we were camping at the nearby KOA and needed some last minute dog sitting. She was the first person we contacted and thank god she was available! Rebecca is so caring, sent us constant updates and made sure the newfs were cool and hydrated on this very hott day. If we could bring Rebecca home with us to NY we would! she is fantastic. thank you Rebecca! we'll visit again! ANYONE staying at the KOA and in need of some pet care, dont hesitate to contact her!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lynda! Her dog got along great with our dog and Lynda kept us in the loop with pics and videos. We had a wonderful experience and wouldnt hesitate to leave our dog with Lynda again!”
“This is our 2nd time leaving Roxy with Jeanne. Jeanne is very good with dogs and Roxy has a great time with her. We love the text updates with pictures that Jeanne provides. We can tell Roxy has a great time and that helps us enjoy our time away that much more. We will continue to use Jeanne going forward.”
“Suzanne was exactly what we were hoping for when we decided to try Rover. She was very flexible with some last minute change of plans and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a responsible sitter for their dog(s).”
“Noreen is the absolute best! She took such great care of our large dog while we were away, sending pictures and updates which kept the family happy while we missed our boy. Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
About: 🔆Hi! You can call me Jordan!

They’ve moved with me through five cities and three countries. I’ve never given up on them through any stage of my life. 👩🍳 I enjoy cooking nutritious and balanced meals for animals (sometimes for myself ) I love all animals and will learn more knowledge if you need cares for all kinds of pets (chickens, ducks, birds, pigs, etc) 💻 I have been working from home for over 6 years so I will be available everyday!

“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 6 month old puppy with Nicholas! He was responsive to all my questions and sent pictures every day! He took great care of our bulldog’s special skin care needs. Our puppy had so much fun and was well taken care of! She was truly treated as part of their family for the week! I feel relieved to have found such a great pet sitter and will certainly book with Nicholas again!”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”

“Alex is very reliable and has exceptional communication skills. I definitely felt peace-of-mind relying on her to care for my cats while away. I would use her services again. Thanks Alex!!”
“Olivia was fantastic. She was attentive and gave good feedback about our older cat’s daily activity. She was on time and there when she said she would be. I definitely will ask for her to care for our cat again in the future. Many thanks.”
“Kim and Donna did a great job caring for Pixie and sent me pictures and a short message to let me know all was well while I was away. We are very happy with the care they provided our pet!”
“Beth was wonderful! She did a last minute drop in for our two dogs which I am grateful for. She stayed in contact, sent lots of pics, and followed all directions. I'd definitely book Beth again. Thank you!”
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
“We were traveling for a vacation when our “pet-friendly” hotel informed us that cats weren’t allowed. Paul was quite willing to accept our two kitties in short notice and took excellent care of them while we could continue with our travel plans.”
About: I've owned cats all of my life and don't plan on that changing anytime soon. I'm a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire. I currently work as a veterinary nurse at a local clinic and have gained cat handling experience from this job (as well as from my kitties at home!) I have a Fear Free Certification and ensure that the animal is being taken care of in a manner that reduces fear, anxiety, and stress.
“Betsy is a delight, from her caring nature to her comforting responsiveness, reliability and more. Our shy kitty cat Sayde took very little time before she was snuggling up to Betsy, which came across in the many photos that Betsy sent our way. Betsy has our strong recommendation, and we look forward to again using her valued services!”
“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”
“Clarke was great with our meet and greet. She was pleasant to talk to and was great with our dogs. She was attentive to instructions on how to care for our two dogs. Our dogs are old 12 and 14 yo so they occasional have accidents in the house and on our walkways, Clarke was warned about the issues. We were pleased with how well she dealt with the dog's accidents while we were away. Our house was left clean and our walkway was clear. While we were on our vacation, Clarke took pictures of our dogs for us. When we needed to sent Clarke text messages, she was quick to respond back to us regarding our dogs' status. Overall, it was a great experience having Clarke take care of our 2 dogs. I highly recommend her and will use her again if she is available during the time we need her for a job.”
About: I have a life time of experience. I grew up helping my mom take care of peoples animals. Farm animals, birds, dogs, cats. A special skill of mine is training dogs.

I have crates incase your dog needs a break/nap. I also have baby gates to ensure everyone is safe in my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and pets in general) since I was around 12 years old. I started by watching my neighbors dogs and moved on from there. I am now a certified dog groomer and want to continue pet sitting as well! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, play and such. I also do my dog grooming on the side for right now. I have a partially fenced yard, and no other pets so my home is friendly to dogs who don’t like other animals, and a very spacious yard

“Becky is as close to perfect as one can get. She is thoughtful, caring, happy and reliable. Seriously do not know what we’d do without her to care for our very shy doggie - who can get into trouble now and then and she goes out of her way to help when we need, Thank you Becky 💛💛💛 Nothing but respect!”
“Stephen and Shirley were very welcoming to Enzo and I when we arrived. I checked on while we were gone and they said he was having a good time and well behaved. I was late to pick him up but Stephen said there was no rush, which was great to hear. I will definitely use them in the future if we need daycare! I recommend them fully.”
“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 have had a dog at least 20 years. We occasionally have a Labrador a week at a time, he has full run of the house. I do not work, so I am home most of the time. I do local Arts Markets, but those aren't long days. A dog would get lots of attention. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for playing. The house is one floor, which would be easier on older dogs.
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old and currently work as a server. I’m looking to spend more of my free time caring for pets because animals have always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 I’ve been around animals almost my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs (I cared for 9 rescue guinea pigs for nearly 5 years), and even a chameleon for about 5 years. 🐾 I don’t currently have pets of my own, so becoming a pet sitter is the perfect way to spend time with animals while helping families who need reliable care. 🐾 I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. Your trust is something I take seriously, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾✨ I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4! Saturdays I work a double, so I have my mom and best friend on stand by to come check in and give potty breaks to any pets in my care! Same for Sunday's as well, though I am available after 5 that day!! 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!
About: I’ve owned and worked with dogs my whole life. I am the owner of a grooming salon and have worked in dog daycares as well as an animal hospital. We will treat your pups like our own! 🥰 We like to stick with what they are used to at home. Sleep on the bed? No prob! Snuggle on the couch? You got it! But if you have rules you are working on we are happy to help with those too. We have a large fenced in yard but the snow is high right now. So to be safe we are only taking dogs under 30 lbs. I have always specialized in senior dog care so if you have e an older buddy they are in good hands! ♥️Can’t wait to meet your pups! Also, we have 2 small dogs so yours must be ok with other pups. My husband and I both work from home so it’s easy for us to give the pups attention and care all day. Together we have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles! I have a large fenced in yard, but if you prefer walks that’s totally doable. I also have a Chinese crested mix and a Schnoodle who are very used to new dogs in the home. We also have baby chicks in the house until spring but they are in enclosures. In case your pup has a high prey drive, they can be moved to a safer area. 😆
“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!”

“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. My boyfriend, our blue heeler pup and I just moved from Dover to Chichester. We decided it was time to upgrade Kota from a condo to a big yard. Safe to say, she loves it. Our house is located on about an acre, but far away from any main roads. We have no traffic on our cul-de-sac making it the perfect area for our girl to go outside and play. My schedule rotates and I am typically working a hybrid schedule. For the days that I am home, I am looking to watch a few pups to give other dog parents affordable pricing, but also give Kota and opportunity to play. When I go into the office, Kota goes to a doggy daycare more towards Dover. The socialization is amazing for her. So we want to give other pups the same opportunity. Feel free to message me with any questions about our house, Kota, myself or anything else. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.

I have an unfenced yard but not many neighbors, I have a fenced in balcony and lots of trails for walking dogs if that’s what they would like to do.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Whether it’s morning walks, training sessions, feeding schedules, or playtime, caring for animals is built into my life. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve developed a rhythm that keeps pets happy, healthy, and calm while their owners are away. I treat each visit or stay as a top priority, making sure every dog gets the attention, structure, and love they’re used to at home.

“Courtney was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative. She was very considerate of my requests including Blue's hurt toe- so she took Blue on a shorter gentle walk and then gave her some fun time in the yard. I will definitely reach out to Courtney again!”

About: I’ve done a lot of pet care in my life. Whether it range from caring for my own cats to caring for others dogs. I’ve done a lot of dog sitting over the years, whether it be family, friends, or otherwise. Most of my time dog sitting has been with larger breeds such as huskies and labs, however I am comfortable with small dogs as well. I have performed a range of tasks, from common ones such as walking and feeding. To more uncommon ones such as administering oral pill medication. Currently pet care fits into every and any day of my daily and weekly routine. At this moment in time I am available all days of the week. Ad as long as it’s not soemthing before dawn, I am available most hours of the day. When it comes to things like dog walking. Providing safety and care is through using the proper leash for the dogs in the hosue and taking them on the required time/distance of walks. As well as giving them time to warm up to me as not to cause fear from an unknown individual. When my comes to things such as house sitting. Again, properly introducing myself to the pet. And fulfilling all tasks required for the pets healthy life style to continue. Also not touching anything in the house that is outside of the scope of what it allowed to give the pet what they need
“Clarke is a wonderful dog walker: responsible, communicative, dependable, and wonderful with our little dog. She fed, watered, and walked Bitty without fail, which completely put my mind at ease. Since she goes away to college, she’s not always in Michigan, but I’ll want her to help care for Bitty wheboshe has time.”
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 Lab/Whippet mix after 12 wonderful years together. She was truly family, and I now get to share that deep love with my two young kids (ages 5 and 7), who absolutely adore dogs and treat every pup like their own. 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.

The toy basket is bottomless and the couch is fair game :) when your pup stays with me they will always be the number 1 priority.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years, including my own dog, Million. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet home with no children, no smoking, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines closely, enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and can provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. Your dog will be treated like family while staying with me. I work from home, so I am at home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can take them out for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever they need. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I live in a clean and quiet house with no children, no smoking, and multiple extra rooms where visiting dogs can rest comfortably. We also have an open yard where dogs can safely explore under supervision. My dog Million is friendly and fully trained, and I introduce dogs slowly to ensure everyone feels safe. I provide free toys and treats, follow your dog’s routine closely, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

“Heather and her family took great care of Tucker. We picked him up for some day trips and was always excited to return to Heather's with his new friends. Thank you again to Heather and Her family. Heather Tucker is enjoying his fresh eggs in the morning. Great experience!!!”
“It was very easy to work with Katie from scheduling a meet and greet to arranging the drop off and pick up times. She and her daughter were very good to our little chihuahua and accommodated the special needs of a tiny dog (5 lbs) who admittedly is a bit of a princess. She is also an excellent communicator, sending us pictures and updates regularly as she was sensitive to the fact that we were nervous leaving our pup in a new place. Thank you Katie!”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“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!”
“Nicole is the best sitter! Our Emma loves her dog Wilbur. She is excited each time to see Nicole and loves being there. Her last stay was for a week and she showed no signs of anxiety at all. She adjusted to being back home with no problems.”
“Rebecca was amazing with our 2 newfoundlands! we were camping at the nearby KOA and needed some last minute dog sitting. She was the first person we contacted and thank god she was available! Rebecca is so caring, sent us constant updates and made sure the newfs were cool and hydrated on this very hott day. If we could bring Rebecca home with us to NY we would! she is fantastic. thank you Rebecca! we'll visit again! ANYONE staying at the KOA and in need of some pet care, dont hesitate to contact her!”
“This is our 2nd time leaving Roxy with Jeanne. Jeanne is very good with dogs and Roxy has a great time with her. We love the text updates with pictures that Jeanne provides. We can tell Roxy has a great time and that helps us enjoy our time away that much more. We will continue to use Jeanne going forward.”
“Suzanne was exactly what we were hoping for when we decided to try Rover. She was very flexible with some last minute change of plans and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a responsible sitter for their dog(s).”
“Noreen is the absolute best! She took such great care of our large dog while we were away, sending pictures and updates which kept the family happy while we missed our boy. Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 6 month old puppy with Nicholas! He was responsive to all my questions and sent pictures every day! He took great care of our bulldog’s special skin care needs. Our puppy had so much fun and was well taken care of! She was truly treated as part of their family for the week! I feel relieved to have found such a great pet sitter and will certainly book with Nicholas again!”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“My Nutty aka Nutmeg had an awesome time! Loved the pictures and videos - Thank you Jaclyn & family! He is a one person dog, loves other dogs, but he does not do well sequestered away, crated, etc. He needs people interaction and cuddling! He got tons here. Nutty is high energy and loves room to run so the fenced yard was golden. Lol. Usually he doesn't eat when I'm not around but he ate all his food! I was amazed. So this is definitely my go to place from now on.”
“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!”
“Rosie was very happy and well taken care of. Jessica went out of her way to make sure she ate since Rosie was homesick and not eating her dry food. I was updated daily with pictures.”
“Bri did a fantastic job caring for our two pups during a five-night stay. She provided daily updates, made sure they were walked, fed, and well cared for, and communicated clearly throughout the stay, which put us at ease during our trip.”
“Hannah and her family were really great at taking care of my pup! I really appreciate her communicativeness and her flexibility. I had no concerns while she was taking care of my dog and would absolutely use her again for future boarding needs!”
About: I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles). I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again. We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.
