“Our senior dog Hank had a wonderful time with Deirdre. She took excellent care of him and gave us lots of updates with pictures and videos. It seemed like he had a fantastic time. I really appreciated that she was so kind and thoughtful concerning his advanced age. We’re very happy to have finally found such an outstanding person to look after our old pal while we’re away. Thank you Deirdre!”
“Christina and Jason say that 'while your dog is with us, your dog is our dog', and they really mean it. They truly understand and love dogs. There is absolutely nothing else I could want in a pet sitter. I am so grateful to have found them. My dog is pretty darn happy about it too.”
“Kevin was great with our highly energetic dog, Archie! He was very communicative day to day! Archie spent 4 days having the time of his life on the homestead and came home dirty, tired and happy. If we’re ever in the area again, or if we were living there, they would be our go to! Thanks again!”
“My rescue Havapoo, Blaze, stayed with Hope for fifteen days, and from what “he tells me,” had a fine time and enjoyed the interaction with other dogs. Hope was very welcoming and let me know how Blaze was doing the morning after I had dropped him off (he chose to sleep in her grandson’s room). I would definitely board Blaze with Hope again, should the occasion arise.”
“Jessica took good care of Bella! Bella was shy and nervous and but Jessica was sweet and patient with her. She communicated well and and was easy to make arrangements with! I would definitely have Bella stay with her again.”

“Nancy and her son took great care of Bruce when he came to stay with them. Bruce had such a great time as was obvious in the photos we received and how comfortable he was when we came to pick him up. After an initial confusion at drop off, Nancy quickly clarified and reassured me of the plans and following that Bruce just had the best time.”
About: Now offering adventure daycare (pick up and drop off service and hiking during the day) and boarding in my home which includes adventure daycare.... Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines.

I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided.
“Brittany was super easy to work with, the pups loved her, and her set up is perfect for the active boys we have, they hardly noticed we left. Her pups were great greeters and playmates. We were traveling far so our timing was quite questionable and Brittany made us feel right at home and worked with us and the unpredictability of Boston!”

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!!”
“Erica was wonderfully patient and kind with our elderly Chihuahua, Suzie, while we explored local attractions while traveling through the area. Suzie is typically anxious in new situations but she looked relaxed in the pictures Erica sent to us throughout her stay and was calm and happy when we picked her up. We are extremely thankful for Erica’s focused attention and compassion with our senior girl.”
“Cara and her family had me completely at ease from our meet & greet through my dog’s stay. Cara shared photos every day and included notes - allowed me to remain confident in Fiona’s care. Cara is very responsive and excellent with communicating.”

“Christine was amazing taking care of our Paulie girl, Christine always made sure to communicate with me and even took the time to find some of Paulie’s hiding spots when she wasn’t being very social. I’m so glad we booked Christine and will definitely continue to use her while we live in the area. Thank you again Christine!”

About: I've lived with and cared for family+friends dogs for most of my life thus far, and recently spent about a year+ as a full time pet care professional in Boston. While there I personally managed client relationships with clients from all walks of life, including some very high-profile families and individuals. I have worked with multiple trainers of various backgrounds and picked up all kinds of useful knowledge for all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, elderly, and infirm dogs with various kinds of behavioral and/or physical challenges. I also have extensive experience in handling groups of dogs and their interactions with each other, especially in a dog park setting. My work schedule varies quite a bit at the moment and is typically plenty flexible to cover any of your pet's needs granted I have proper time to plan. I'm happy to do whatever it takes to keep your pets comfortable and in their routine to minimize their stress while apart from their humans. My apartment has a small yard, and the neighbors have some furry friends for social time if your pet likes to make friends.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have frequently helped neighbors and friends with theirs. I now have a yellow lab and a black and white cat that are both 2 years old. I love animals and work from home so I am available when needed to help check in on or walk any animals you may have! I work from home and can be flexible with what you need. I find it easiest to help out owners at lunch to give their dogs a halfway break. I have owned and been around all different kind of dogs and understand that each can have their own quirks and need to trust me.
About: My family and I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I cannot have pets in my apartment. But I would love to care for yours like they were my own. I’m available evenings and weekends. I Work full time. I can do overnight stays on weekends. I live in Vermont but and can go as far as Lake George. I don’t have pets. But I would be clean and respectful. I would make sure to follow any rules and guidelines to avoid any accidents. Safety is my priority above all.
“Tessa is so wonderful! Our dogs did extremely well with her for her 1st time meeting them. We appreciated her patience with the boys, and that she came from the distance that she did to meet and get to know them.”
“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”
“Samantha took amazing care of our two cats, Misty and Lou, over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. She provided detailed notes for each check-in, asked questions proactively, took the cutest photos of our fur babies, and took great care to clean everything at the end of the final check-in. We loved her service and will absolutely enlist her in the future!”
“Julie was punctual and very attentive to Parker, my elderly cat, and took time to get to know him a bit as well as manage his feeding with auto feeders and give his medication. I will be happy to have her again when the occasion arises.”
“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”

About: I have over ten years of experience caring for fur babies of every kind! I grew up surrounded by animals, a passion that has blossomed in my adult years. In high school I worked in a veterinary setting where I was able to learn pet CPR & emergency skills. I am now a human mama to one baby boy who I plan to pass my love of animals onto, we practice and model gentle and respectful handling of all furry friends. I am an animal mama to two goldens, some chickens and a few cats. I work from home, so naturally, spend all my days doting on my fur babies and yours too! Your pets will always be treated with love, kindness & patience by me - whether in my home or yours! Please note: I currently have an infant so I am unable to stay overnight in your home at this time. I accept housesitting requests however, as I am able to offer early morning and late night visits, as well as up to 5-6 visits / daily while house sitting depending on your pets’ needs. Submitting a request as a housesit instead of dropins is more cost effective to you. Please reach out to chat more if you’re looking for house sitting services! I work a very relaxed job from home so I am able to be available to your pet 24/7 for medicine breaks, snack breaks, walks, potty breaks, and scritches! I have experience with every pet type, from Great Danes to bottle fed kittens. If your pet is staying in my home - they can enjoy our fenced in backyard or our dedicated dog loft if they need some time to decompress. Otherwise, they’ll get to hangout with my family 24/7 which includes my two golden retrievers, Franklin & Jasper. Franklin & Jasper have never met a dog they didn’t LOVE. For peace of mind, our dogs will never be fed in the same space as your pet(s). We always welcome you to come see our home and meet Franklin & Jasper before your scheduled drop off date so that you can feel confident and stress free while out of town. If I am watching your pet within your home, my visits are extremely flexible. I am able to accommodate feeding and walk schedules seamlessly.
“Deirdre was terrific. Our dog, Riley seemed happy and tired after all day with Deirdre. We are traveling, and have had significant car and trailer problems. Deirdre has been BEYOND helpful and flexible with last-minute schedule changes.”
“Hope is wonderful — warm, reliable, and genuinely caring. She kindly accepted our last-minute booking and replied very promptly. Our dog was treated so well and quickly bonded with the other two dogs in the house as well as Hope’s own dog — all of them were gentle and playful. The whole family (adults and kids) welcomed our pup, and Hope made sure they had playtime, fresh water, treats, and regular potty breaks. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely book again. Highly recommend Hope on Rover!”
“Kevin and Inez were GREAT with my dog lexie! Both were friendly and fabulously communicative, the property secure with lots of space for dogs to roam and be outside, super helpful with food / feeding and they also took lexie for a great adventure on trails behind their house - perfect! Super pleased!”
“Christina and Jason were wonderful dog sitters for our pup Honey! We were RV camping staying in a nearby campground. We had some excursions planned where we could not take our pup and Christina and Jason took good care of her. They went on walks in the woods and Honey settled in on their sofa and napped afterwards. They sent pictures of her to let me know that she was happy as she has anxiety when we leave her. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we’re in the area.”

About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived in a home without a dog or cat! I’ve been training my own furball who’s 10 months old and he’s doing great! I’d say most of my experience comes from watching my own animals, family’s furry friends and neighbors’ pets. I have some time on my hands in between jobs at the moment to help others out. I am currently between jobs for the next few months so I have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule. Happy to fill my days with more dogs! I have a large yard and plenty of trails nearby to walk the dogs! I also have a 10 month old Irish wolfhound that absolutely loves hanging out with other dogs! I have crates - large enough for an Irish wolfhound and room for yours if needed!
About: I have 100 acres of land for your pet to run on a long lead!! Exercise is included with playtime fun!! Provide bath time too I am retired and have 100% free time to provide to your Pet!! Mon thru Sunday, any time!! Playtime , bath time and exercise !! My Daughter Sadie also runs the buzz with me so one of us will always be available. I’d like to add a fence in the future however I have four outside long runs where your dog can get exercise with the toys that they and I will play with. No need to worry about your dog escaping.
About: Hello my name is Nora! I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I love pets more than anything! I have two labradoodles of my own, and a lot of experience caring for pets. I have walked dogs, pet-sit, volunteered in shelters, cared for my own two dogs, and am currently involved in a club called Paws for a Cause at my university. I can guarantee the BEST care for your pets, and I will truly love them like my own. I can ensure your pets will be in good hands, and being with animals never feels like a job to me! I hope I can satisfy your pet-related needs! My work is entirely remote and allows me to have flexible hours during the day, perfect for all kinda of care. I can be home with your pet for the entire day. I am also available on weekends at any time and can ensure that your pet will receive my complete attention! Please reach out to me more about an exact schedule and we can discuss your needs :) I currently live in 3 bedroom home by myself. There is a fenced yard in the back. My dogs live in my parents home, I currently at school so there are no other pets in the home. I have boarded multiple pets in my home and many owners have noted how calm their pet was in a new environment and how attentive the care I provided was! I am also available for overnight pet-sitting, day time drop ins, or dog walking. I can promise that your pets will receive nothing but the best, and I can meet any needs you have. I am also willing to give baths, trim nails, or other basic care services.
About: Dogs and Cats are just as stressed as you when you have to go out of town. I get it. I want to be here to help your fur baby at home have a low energy time as they are missing their parents when they are gone. I think it’s great to interact as much as possible just as much as I think it’s great give them space when they need it. I do not currently have any pets but I have been volunteering at animal shelters for ten years. Through this experience I was able to learn dog and cat behaviors of all kinds. I go in treating the area like it’s their space and I am just a visitor and not a threat. Usually I bring treats and try to see if it’s a good fit (if allowed).
About: I have extensive experience with all types of animals. I work for a petting zoo, have raised two of my own personal dogs, and have cared for many other dogs on and off of Rover. Ive always had patience with dogs, trained and untrained, and love working with them. I can be easily reached with a text or phone call. I would love to walk, feed, play, and care for your animal as needed. When you’re away and missing your dog, I can send you plenty of pictures. You can trust that your pet is in good hands. I'm extremely flexible and am good with time management. I look forward to spending time with your pet!

“Christine was flexible with booking, sent pictures, & I felt confident after our meet & greet that she would be a good fit. Can’t wait to use her for the next few months I’m in the area 😊”
“Laura is wonderful! Great communication and my girl trusted her very early on! Athena is a Tim at rescue and often times won’t leave the house with sitters for the first couple visits, but Athena left with her all three of her first visits and even went for a walk with her a couple times which she rarely does. My expectations are getting her potty break met and to get her exercise needs met as well as a huge bonus! Will definitely hire again!”
About: Since I was in Middle School, friends, family, and locals ask me take out, feed, play, and stay with their fur babies! I have watched dogs for 2 weeks at a time, a weekend, a night, and even just a drop in. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, and will go out of my way to make sure they feel loved while their pawrents are away! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time after work to play and take care of your pets! Even with a full-time job, your fur baby will be unconditionally loved, as I love my own. I grew up walking and taking care of my own dogs, as well as friend’s and local’s dogs. I’ve never been without a dog. I’m committed to doing everything I can to keep your fur babies happy, as they will be doing the same for me!
