“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Brooke was amazing! Communication was fast and easy, and Scottie had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates every day, which was greatly appreciated. In the future we hope to have Scottie stay with Brooke again!!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Amanda is terrific! From the outset, she was very responsive to all my questions about how she would care for Sammy, our one-year-old labradoodle puppy. It was a last-minute booking and Amanda was very flexible in scheduling a meet and greet on short notice. When we dropped off Sammy for his weekend stay, Amanda was very careful to give Sammy a quiet space to get familiar with his surroundings. Within minutes of leaving, I received pictures of our very happy puppy playing with all her pups. Sammy has a lot of eye secretions, and Amanda followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy also is a picky eater, and she made sure that he had plenty of nourishment and water. Most significantly, when Amanda dropped off an item that accidentally was left at her house, Sammy went crazy with excitement to see her friend Amanda and husband Nico. Totally helicopter tail and puppy kisses galore. Sammy’s reaction told me everything I wanted to know. We feel so lucky to have found Amanda. We will definitely be using her services again, and I highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the 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.
“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“Andrea watched our Golden for over two weeks. She really helped us out in a pinch. Lots of pictures and updates!! We were a little bit nervous because our pup gets anxious but Andrea put our minds at ease. Our dog came back very, very happy! We will absolutely use Andrea again. Thank you for taking such great care of our doggo!!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Becky and Bob took AMAZING care of our 4 year old Cavapoo. We did a couple trial runs to prepare our dog for a 1 week stay, and he did great every time. Becky responded quickly whenever we checked in and sent some cute photos and updates along the way which we really appreciated. We love that they took the time to slowly introduce him to the other dogs staying there, allowed him to sleep anywhere he wanted, and fed him his special dinner every night. We feel very comfortable boarding our dog with them and will definitely be bringing him back for another stay the next time we go away! :)”
“Kate was absolutely outstanding taking care of Dell! I could not have been more pleased with the care and love she gave our sweet Dell. I will definitely call on her again when we have to travel. On a scale of one to five, I give her a 10!! it was so nice to be able to go away and relax about how Dell was being taken care of.”
“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.”

“Olivia did her usual amazing job, and we couldn't be more at ease with her taking care of our furbabies. This is the second time we have hired her and she is a detail oriented, diligent and very compassionate sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Did everything we requested and connected with Calvin and Hobbs. Both cats seemed to follow him all over the house and were fine. We will definely use Robert again when going away.”
“Wow! I have found my new petsitter. Cheryl is fantastic and totally eased the worry and guilt I had about leaving my cat Rocky home while I traveled for work. Cheryl is personable, reliable, and a true professional. She was happy to do a meet and greet and to provide Rocky the comfort and care he needed while I was gone. Oh, and she's a fabulous pet photographer. I highly recommend Cheryl's services.”
“Cassidy was amazing with our three cats! They were all well cared for and they took to her really well! Even the one cat who is extremely shy made an appearance for her and I wasn’t expecting that! We have one cat who requires daily medication and Cassidy was so patient and took so much time and care to be sure she received her medication. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our fluffs!”
About: I grew up with 3 cats, and most of my immediate family and in laws have cats even still. I've been trusted to take care of their pets for years, and trusted by family friends and extended family as well to care for their feline family members! I also spent 6 years working for an animal rescue and helping care for the kitties in the shelter. There's nothing better than a chin scritch and a purr ❤️ bonus points for kitties who like to tell me chatty stories!
“This was our second time booking Maryam and she was just as amazing as the first. She takes such thoughtful care of our five cats and always keeps us updated with photos and messages. We come home to happy, relaxed cats every time. Highly recommend!”
“Demi was responsive and very respectful. She came by to meet our family and cat and while we were away she took great care of our cat. I highly recommend her and will rebook with her in the future.”
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our 11 yr old PORTY! Oreo loved meeting her and they hit it off immediately. I reached out to Heather for a drop in a few days prior and she was accommodating and was great about sharing messages and photos on her visit-Oreo loved her walk and we will certainly use her again!”
“Sam was amazing with our shy cat! Each visit he warmed up a little more until he was purring and cuddling. Sam sent adorable progress photos and took time to locate him under the furniture. We were so impressed with Sam’s undaunted patience, and we now feel comfortable knowing our cat is in good hands with her. She fed him on schedule and kept the area tidy. We couldn’t recommend Sam enough, and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Sam!!! - Diana and Brendan (and Pepper)”

“Brooke is so kind and sweet and my pup loved her - I definitely felt like he was in good hands while she watched him for the day. She is quickly responsive to text messages as well. Great experience!”
“Amanda is truly amazing with dogs and clearly has a deep love for them. She took such great care of my puppy, treating her like her own. Communication with Amanda was easy and wonderful. She kept me updated throughout the day by sending multiple photos and videos of my puppy. One of the best parts was that my puppy got to socialize and learn from her two wonderful dogs. My puppy was always so excited to go back to her place and didn’t even want to leave! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Colleen was amazing! She took such good care of my 2 1/2-year-old golden doodle, Cody. It was a holiday weekend and Colleen was extremely accommodating to me so that I could visit with family and have peace of mind knowing that my dog was well cared for. Colleen kept me informed with Videos. It was clear to see that my dog was having the time of his life! Colleen has two dogs of her own and there were other dogs there to play with my dog Cody as well. I highly recommend Colleen if you want exceptional doggy day care.”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for my own dog, Milano, as well as family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment for both dogs and cats! Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I’m a stay-at-home mom who provides loving, reliable pet care right from my home. I spend my days home with my two children, which means your pet will receive constant attention, supervision, and affection. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also have a small, friendly Chihuahua named Milano who is almost 1 year old. He is very playful, gentle, and loves meeting new friends. Because I’m home full-time, your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I can provide a calm, attentive environment. I always recommend meet-and-greets when possible before booking, so your pet can meet my children and Milano and you can see my home. This helps ensure everyone is comfortable and it’s the best fit for your pet’s stay. 🏡 My Home & Environment • Safe, clean, and pet-friendly home • Calm family environment with lots of supervision • My children are gentle, respectful, and love animals • Pets are never left unattended • Plenty of playtime, attention, and care throughout the day I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire lives and have hands-on experience caring for them in a home environment. Currently, we have a large, professionally trained dog who has helped us develop strong skills in structure, consistency, and understanding dog behavior. She was trained through 6 months, and we continue to reinforce that training daily, so I’m very comfortable with commands, routines, and maintaining a calm, well-balanced environment. We have experience with: • Large and high-energy breeds • Maintaining feeding schedules and routines • Reinforcing basic training and good behavior • Reading dog body language and temperament • Creating a safe, calm environment for multiple dogs For us, safety and attentiveness are second nature. We are always present, aware, and intentional about making sure every dog in our care feels comfortable, secure, and well looked after. Your dog will never feel like they’re in a kennel they’ll feel like they’re part of our family. Your dog’s stay will feel like a true home away from home, safe, loving, and tailored just for them. • Daily walks (morning, afternoon, and evening) plus plenty of outdoor time • Support with training and reinforcement of good habits, we’ve worked with professional trainers and are happy to continue that structure • Lots of snuggles, attention, and one-on-one care • Supervised playtime with our gentle, well-trained dog, Paris • Calm evenings with a consistent, comforting routine • Kind, dog-loving kids who interact gently and safely We’re highly attentive to each dog’s unique needs and energy level, whether they’re playful and active or more relaxed and cuddly. We’re happy to accommodate your dog’s individual sleeping routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, on a dog bed, or having their own space to roam (including an entire floor if needed), we’ll follow your preferences and keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to at home. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and part of our family while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a calm, structured, and impeccably clean home where dogs are always supervised and cared for with intention. To ensure a truly personalized, low-stress, luxury experience, we limit the number of dogs in our care. We typically host just one client at a time, if you have multiple dogs, we’re happy to accommodate your family together. We never exceed three dogs total, including our own, so every dog receives dedicated attention, comfort, and care. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and all interactions, whether with our dog Paris or my children, are closely monitored to ensure safe, positive experiences. Paris is well-trained, gentle, and accustomed to being around other dogs. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and temperament so we can provide a consistent and comfortable stay. Feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions are followed closely. Our home is designed to feel like a second home, not a kennel, where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be genuinely cared for. ***We take trust and safety very seriously and are committed to following your dog’s routine as closely as possible. This includes accommodating any feeding method or dietary needs, whether that’s raw food, fresh or home-cooked meals, kibble, or more specific requirements like low-protein or other restricted diets. We carefully follow your instructions to ensure consistency, safety, and your dog’s overall well-being.*** We also provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident while you're away. We understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with who is caring for your dog. When we've have used Rover for Paris, we always appreciated the opportunity to meet beforehand, so we are more than happy to offer a meet-and-greet prior to booking. This gives you the chance to see our home, ask any questions, and feel confident in the safe, calm, and personalized care your dog will receive while staying with our family.
“Logan had a fun and active day with Michael! Early in the day we received an update with pictures of Logan playing in the yard with the other dogs. When we picked Logan up, he was doing his “happy barks” so we could tell he had a great time! At home, he was tired after all the fun. Will book again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs! I have two rescue dogs, and I’ve had my older dog for about 8 years. I am comfortable with any breed and personality/temperament. I work from home, so I am almost always available for the dogs throughout the day. We do at least two walks per day and any potty breaks as needed! I would love to meet your dog(s) and care for them! I work remotely so I am available throughout the day and also am available all weekend. I can be flexible with whatever your schedule needs. I understand that every dog's environment, temperment, and needs are different. I am happy to work with you about what your dog needs. I am comfortable dealing with excitable, nervous, and fear-aggressive dogs.
“We have a 20 lb male Cavachon named Blazer. We were very pleased with Blazer’s stay with Robert. Robert was excellent at sending us pictures and keeping Blazer happy. Robert took Blazer for walks (even a special trip to the beach for Memorial Day) and let Blazer be comfortable on the furniture. We will book again with Robert.”

About: I have cared for my dogs over the years varying in breed, size and temperament from Pomeranian to Husky.

Currently I have one dog that I sit/board regularly and looking to take on at least one more I have a fenced in yard with doggy door to house and 2 babies of my own to keep your pup company and provide lots of play.

About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!
“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”
About: I have had pets my entire life and love taking care of them- from horses to small animals like rats, bunnies, chickens, cats dogs etc. - I often house and pet sit for friends and neighbors in their home. My specialty is senior dogs and cats, they have a special place in my heart although I love all ages! I have a green thumb and can also take care of your garden and plants when you are away as well and bring in your mail if requested. I come to you to make things convenient and easy! I am fully available to take care of your pets in your own home where they are comfortable and can keep their daily routine. Best thing for the pet and for you! I am a remote worker, so I would be home with your pet working during the day. I also do daycare services, which means I can work from your home during the day to let the dog out or give them some play time sessions or a walk. I would come to your home to take care of your pet(s) where they are most comfortable. I feel that makes most pets at ease when they can keep their everyday routine. Pets strive on routine and with being in your home they can have that, so you have peace of mind.
About: Will care for your parrots, cats, dogs, fish - I have them all and will treat yours with as much love and care as I do mine. House sitting covers basic "away" duties (mail, lights, pet care, delivery acceptance). Pet sitting in my home means fun, treats, separate quarters if needed, and lots of exercise. Dog walking / bird time / fish feeding on your schedule and at your home one day a week or every day all year. Need a few hours away from your dog? I can do that, too! Have considerable experience with horses and barn animals, too, if you need some mucking or exercise/entertainment. Prices listed are my standard fees; I can work with you to suit your budget/needs. Thank you for clicking & please reach out if I can provide more information! I work from home and have the flexibility to accommodate nearly any schedule. Having pets myself, I understand that schedules can be fixed or variable/ad-hoc depending on their needs. At my home, I have a fenced yard and dedicated space for your furry, finned, or feathered family. While handling your dog outside of the home environment, I am a firm believer in a 2-leash safety strategy.

About: I’m an animal lover with animals of my own!🩷🐾 From training my own pets, to taking care of friends and families, I’ve had a fair share of experience! :) I’m currently a full time student at UNH who works as a server on the weekends! My schedule is mainly open for you and your animal companion! 🩷 I’ve been walking dogs since I was a little girl, so I know the ins and outs! I’m sure of safety and precautions when taking care of my own pets and especially yours🩷
“I’m very skeptical when it comes to having someone else take care of my pets but John was amazing! We left for a day trip and I had no worries at all knowing that my babies were going to be in good hands.”
“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!”
“Lea was wonderful. Our 2 labs are 5 and 6 yo and this was the very first time we used someone outside of our inner circle. Lea made ua feel comfortable and confident in their care. We reached out last minute On a Monday for a Thurs/Fri booking and she was able to fit us in. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.”
About: I've had a dog for 10 years, I pet sit periodically, and I am known for responsibility and quality pet care. I've worked in-home stays, done drop-in visits, and vacation pet care. I'm currently working a full-time job, so I am available to pet-sit Friday-Sunday. During this time I'll be able to give my full attention to your pets! As a petsitter, I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, medication administration, and companionship, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I look forward to meeting your pup!
“I really liked Jessica, my dog walker and “mama” to sarge for 3 weeks! She was extremely reliable and loved sarge as I do. I couldn’t have gotten a better person to walk and take care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures and and texts every day she was there with him. I would definitely ask her to take care of him again on my next vacation and will recommend Jessica to my family and friends”
“Rachel was very communicative and kind. She took videos and pictures during our dog’s walk, which my wife greatly appreciates. She also filled in fairly short notice when our regular walker needed to tend to personal matters, so we are very grateful to her!”
“She was so good with our puppies! Mazie is really anxious and unsure with new people so Ava was very patient with her and now Mazie is so excited to see her. Having her to walk the girls and give them cuddles was such a huge help while I was at work!”
About: My name is Natasha, and I am very passionate about caring for animals - I even worked for a rescue for many years! Part of why I love caring for animals with Rover is because I get to know and love so many new furry friends. I promise to treat your pets like my own, and give them love and care while you are away! I'm located in Amherst, on the border of Merrimack, and while I cannot offer boarding at this time as I have two young kids and a pup who has only been with us about 6 months and wouldn't do well yet with other pets in the home, I still would love to get the opportunity to spoil other animals in my area with love. I will treat your pets with respect and affection, and I am always happiest when I have a furry friend by my side. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family members! I currently work full time remote, so I am home during the day every day and am able to keep good attention to my pup and any pups we watch. We treat every pup we watch as though they are our own. We absolutely love dogs, and will go out of our way to provide the best care possible.
“Allison walked my mini Goldendoodle, Ginger, around the neighborhood a few times a week and always brought her back happy and well-exercised. She was so caring and attentive, always making sure Ginger’s water bowl was full and that she was comfortable before leaving. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ginger was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have worked at Dewey and Friends Pet Resort for the past two years as a kennel technician and was recently promoted to Team Lead. In this role, I have gained extensive experience caring for both daycare and boarding dogs, while also building strong relationships with pet owners. I am currently a junior in college on the pre-veterinary track, where I am pursuing my long-term goal of becoming a veterinarian. I am deeply passionate about animal care and enjoy continuing to learn as much as I can about animal health and behavior. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and treat them with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give to my own pets. I currently work full-time at Dewey and Friends Pet Resort, where I care for dogs during daycare and boarding. My schedule is primarily evenings and weekends, which leaves my mornings available Monday through Friday for dog walks and drop-in visits. I have a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd who is highly reactive, so I have extensive experience working with dogs that require extra patience, structure, and understanding. This has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and comfort level. In my current role at Dewey and Friends Pet Resort, I regularly administer medications, crate dogs when needed, provide leash walks, supervise social interactions, and care for multiple dogs at once. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, routine, and positive interactions to ensure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: I’m not just a sitter, I’m a full-time pet parent. My husband and I have two rescue dogs that we’ve raised and cared for over the past 6 years, starting from puppyhood. We’ve gone through training, learned how to handle different behaviors and built a home that revolves around happy, well cared for pets, including two rescue cats. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack, whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them extra patience, or making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and as a mom of two (less furry babies), I’m already used to planning my day around care, consistency and routines. That means I’m able to prioritize walks, drop ins, and check ins throughout the day. I’m often out and about locally, so it’s easy for me to incorporate visits and give pets the attention they need at consistent times. I always follow each pet owner’s lead when it comes to care. Every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality, so I take the time to listen carefully and stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving environment. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood, which is great for safe, low-traffic walks and a more relaxed setting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to be patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every dog like family I’m currently a recent college graduate with a part-time internship, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet sitting and dog walking. I’m available throughout the week and enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel at home while you’re away. I have a Goldendoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs and understanding their needs, routines, and personalities. I love giving dogs attention, playtime, and plenty of affection to help them feel happy and relaxed.
About: I've taken care of friends pet/pets for years and totally enjoy the experience and looking forward to more opportunities to care and love for your pet/pets. I'm retired so very flexible with my schedule and routine. Love being outdoors walking, hiking, etc. making sure the pet is content with all activities I sometimes care for pets in my own home. Lots of walking and play. I also sit at clients homes for pet's familiarity and safety
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From growing up with dogs, to working with them, they've always been there. I'm a formally trained groomer who has worked in various places around New England. My specially was working with puppies and dogs with anxiety. Both of those need extra patience and time to keep them safe, comfortable, and to make it the best experience possible. I've also worked for a doggy daycare, have done at home walks, and have a number of years experience with housesitting dogs of all ages. I'm a stay at home mom with two young kids, one in school, one will be going in the fall. We spend plenty of time in our yard, getting fresh air and sun. I have a large yard, unfenced, and a good sized home with plenty of space. There are stairs in the front to get upstairs, but no stairs by the backdoor, making it easy for dogs with mobility issues to come inside.

“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Brooke was amazing! Communication was fast and easy, and Scottie had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates every day, which was greatly appreciated. In the future we hope to have Scottie stay with Brooke again!!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Amanda is terrific! From the outset, she was very responsive to all my questions about how she would care for Sammy, our one-year-old labradoodle puppy. It was a last-minute booking and Amanda was very flexible in scheduling a meet and greet on short notice. When we dropped off Sammy for his weekend stay, Amanda was very careful to give Sammy a quiet space to get familiar with his surroundings. Within minutes of leaving, I received pictures of our very happy puppy playing with all her pups. Sammy has a lot of eye secretions, and Amanda followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy also is a picky eater, and she made sure that he had plenty of nourishment and water. Most significantly, when Amanda dropped off an item that accidentally was left at her house, Sammy went crazy with excitement to see her friend Amanda and husband Nico. Totally helicopter tail and puppy kisses galore. Sammy’s reaction told me everything I wanted to know. We feel so lucky to have found Amanda. We will definitely be using her services again, and I highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the 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.
“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“Andrea watched our Golden for over two weeks. She really helped us out in a pinch. Lots of pictures and updates!! We were a little bit nervous because our pup gets anxious but Andrea put our minds at ease. Our dog came back very, very happy! We will absolutely use Andrea again. Thank you for taking such great care of our doggo!!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Becky and Bob took AMAZING care of our 4 year old Cavapoo. We did a couple trial runs to prepare our dog for a 1 week stay, and he did great every time. Becky responded quickly whenever we checked in and sent some cute photos and updates along the way which we really appreciated. We love that they took the time to slowly introduce him to the other dogs staying there, allowed him to sleep anywhere he wanted, and fed him his special dinner every night. We feel very comfortable boarding our dog with them and will definitely be bringing him back for another stay the next time we go away! :)”
“Kate was absolutely outstanding taking care of Dell! I could not have been more pleased with the care and love she gave our sweet Dell. I will definitely call on her again when we have to travel. On a scale of one to five, I give her a 10!! it was so nice to be able to go away and relax about how Dell was being taken care of.”
“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.”
