“Shawna, has done an excellent job with my two Shih Tzu poodles. She has had them longer than expected and accommodated me through a major surgery that had some hiccups. Her attention to detail with your dog is outstanding. She is an hour and a half for me and his well worth the drive for me to leave them there because I know they’re taking care of. She sends plenty of pictures so you’ll know how much fun your dog is actually really having with her.”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”

“Lauryn provides excellent care for Charli! I especially appreciate the updates and pictures she sends, which always give me peace of mind while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and truly treats Charli like family. Lauryn also goes above and beyond to accommodate travel plans and scheduling needs, which I greatly appreciate. I always know Charli is safe, happy, and well cared for when she’s with Lauryn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.

“Caitlin is absolutely wonderful. I can not say enough good things about her and her services. So easy to work with, polite and punctual, a true blessing to our 2 month old Dalmatian. She gives him all the cuddles and attention he could ever want, and sends the best pictures of our little boy. I cant thank you enough Caitlin, you are a true blessing to our family!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
About: When caring for cats, I pay close attention to their dietary needs, making sure each meal is served according to their specific preferences and any dietary restrictions. I am skilled at administering medications, including pills and liquid treatments, handling even the most finicky felines with gentleness and patience. Playtime is an essential part of my routine, using interactive toys and games to stimulate their minds and keep them active. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment by regularly scooping and refreshing litter boxes, ensuring a comfortable space for every cat in my care.
“She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“This is my second time having Vanessa look after my cat while I was away, and just like before, she did a great job. She always sends me updates with pictures of him, and let’s me know his litter has been scooped and that he’s been fed. My cat, while affectionate, is a shy guy who’s slow to warm up to people, and I can tell she does a great job respecting his boundaries and giving him attention on his terms. Thanks, Vanessa! 🙏🏻”

“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”
“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”

“Brooke did an amazing job! Excellent communication! It’s such a peace of mind knowing my dog is not in a crowded, noisy facility, but in a comfortable, personal home setting. Tank had so much fun, and we look forward to booking with Brooke again.”
“Amanda was awesome! She provided several updates throughout the day and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Dora had a great time with her pups and enjoyed her stay!”
“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”
“I had a church event to attend, but my plans for my dog Gibbs didn't work out. I reached out to Ryan for last-minute daycare, and he responded within 15 minutes saying he could take care of him for the day. I dropped Gibbs off and felt very at ease knowing he was with Ryan. Throughout the day, I received seven updates and pictures showing how Gibbs was doing. When I picked him up, he seemed happy and had been well looked after. I'm planning to drop Gibbs off again in two days. This is the second occasion that Ryan and his family have taken care of my dog, Gibbs. When I got there to drop him off, Ryan came out to greet him, and Gibbs was thrilled to see him. Throughout the day, I received both pictures and a video showing the fun he was having with the family's dogs. I believe that Gibbs really enjoys his time with Ryan and his family. He always seems joyful when I come to pick him up. I can easily tell he has had an exciting day since he sleeps very soundly at night.”
“Great communication during the booking process and during the daycare stay. Lauryn sent several pictures and videos and Moose had fun and was happy when we picked him up. I would book again!”
“took great care of my dog and was easy to communicate with, even when I didn't have service often in the national park. Provided photo updates and was willing to meet me to drop off my dog along my route. 100% reccomend”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.

About: I have been a pet lover most of my life! I have a very friendly beagle that would love to meet your dog! So would I! I do require all dogs that stay with me to come for a meet and greet, so that we can all get to know each other before their stay.

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.

I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.

About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember. These loving, sweet members of our families deserve only the best care. I have been pet sitting and walking for a few years off and on. I also volunteer at Young Williams Animal Shelter so I interact with all kinds of different sweet animals often. I have 1 cat and 1 dog right now, both are my babies that I love dearly. I also am working through the process of getting my dog training certification so I can further my training and education on these sweet animals! I hope you will consider me to be your pet sitter and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student so I do have classes, but I have no classes Tuesday and Thursdays and I have lots of free time during the day! I love animals so I thought this would be a fantastic way to spend my time on the side! Your pets safety is the upmost priority when considering pet sitting. I only do in home sitting because I want to ensure it is the care is to your standards. I also do have means of travel if dog parks were an interest, and I have a seat attachment for all sized dogs to keep them from moving all around the car!
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”
About: I'm a veterinarian out due to an injury. Missing the interactions with fur babies! I'm slowly getting back to work but until I'm full time again I'd like to help people out by caring for their beloved pets! I will treat them as my own and communicate with the owners as often as they want! No animal is off limits! They will be in great hands. I'm home most of the time aside from occasional doctors appointments and occasionally work shifts (currently very part time) I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself. Other than working with animals as a veterinarian, my own pets are a full time job. They bring me such joy and entertainment. Even as an adult, if I pass someone with a pet I will always stop to ask to pet it. I'm extremely detail oriented. I'm always observing behavior and their regular routine. If something seems off I will address it and communicate it immediately. My love for animals is my life's work.

“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day.

“Jeanie was awesome to work with! She took our dog, Penny, on short notice. She was very engaging with us and responded to all of our questions in a timely manner. She made us feel very comfortable leaving Penny with her for the week. She continually updated us with pictures and short commentary about Penny’s stay. We could tell through the updates that Penny was enjoying herself. Penny is usually very reserved around strangers but she took to Jeanie very quickly. We would not hesitate to bring Penny back!”
