About: Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience helping care for both cats and dogs. I’ve house sat for friends and family and usually help out when someone needs an extra hand with their pets. I’m currently taking a break from full-time work, so my schedule’s super flexible, and I’d love to spend some of that time with your furry friend! Whether your pet’s outgoing or a little shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m available every day including mornings, afternoons, and evenings so I can easily work around your pet’s usual routine. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ve got the time and flexibility to be there when you need me. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your pet feels comfortable in their space. I’ll take time to build trust with them, follow any care instructions you give me, and make sure your home is locked up and just as you left it when I go.

About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve trained my own dogs, cared for foster puppies, and have experience handling pets with different needs and temperaments. I’m very open to feedback, learn quickly, and always strive to provide the best care possible. When you book with me, you can expect meaningful, attentive, and reliable care for your pet. Your fur baby will have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Rain or shine, I will show up and give every pet the patience, attention, and care they deserve! Over the summer I am working fully from home. Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Brooke was perfect for my dogs :) definitely rebooking with her! Brooke was very responsive when setting up a meet and greet for her and my furry babies. We have been trying to find a reliable and responsible dog sitter and I think she is the one. She was patient with the puppies and very tentative about all the information we gave her. The dogs loved her right away. She did all her check ins on time and made sure my dogs were well taken care. Thank you Brooke!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and cats all my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and I understand the importance of patience, care, attention and responsibility our fur babies deserve. As a medical student I balance my academic responsibilities carefully and I am highly organized to make sure every pet receives attention, exercise and companionship during my visits. I run and walk in safe areas, if the owner is comfortable in certain area I would definitely compromise and be where the dog parent is happiest.
About: I am a trustworthy and genuine individual who loves animals. With almost 30 years of experience as a pediatric nurse and pet owner, I feel I am qualified to take care of your fur baby and keep your mind at ease while you are away. I have experience in caring for healthy, young pets and those pets that are elderly and need a little extra medical care. I have experience in diabetic animals, those that need medications, help with mobility, and wound care. I currently work from 7 am-3 pm most days but do have 1-2 weeks off throughout the year, mainly around holidays. When I am not watching my boys play hockey, I am cuddling up with my sweet feline, Addison. Please reach out to me and we can discuss any services that your dog or cat may need. I am also good with taking care of multiple pets if needed! I am usually available after 2 pm on most week days. Weekends vary. Please don't hesitate to request me as I have several weeks off at times from my daily work schedule. I am also willing to stay over your house or do drop in visits. I can take care of your dog/cat in your home while you are away. Whether it is just a short visit to walk or feed your dog/cat or overnight, I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own!
“Laura has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! We’ve been using her over the last few months and she always provides detailed feedback and we feel very assured that she gives them lots of attention and love! We feel very fortunate to have her!”

About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”

“Melanie was very attentive to our two cats while we were gone on an extended vacation. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she shared of the time she spent with them.”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7.

About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life. Growing up on several acres, we had multiple types of animals. They ranged from dogs to cats to chickens and more! It was always our jobs to help with the care of them. In my adulthood, I have always taken on side work helping with friends and families pets, as well as being hired through various websites. I absolutely love spending time with cats and dogs. I have one each of my own. I understand how truly important they are and always strive for the best care possible, as that is what I’d expect for my own when I need the help! I do work part time as a housekeeper. That is a pretty flexible job and I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Depending on what and when care is needed, I am able to stop in prior to going to my job, after (I’m usually done late morning/early afternoon), and evenings. My schedule changes a lot but it is very flexible! I will always do my very best to care for your fur baby. They deserve it, and you deserve knowing and trusting that I will!
About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.
About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs in my household from the time I was born. I have watched dogs for many members of family and friends and enjoy doing so! Pet care is a positive addition to my weekly routine because I love going on walks, being active, and having fluffy companions to show love to! I offer a safe and loving environment for pets at all times. I live across the street from a park so being active and going on many walks can be expected!
About: I've had several dogs in my life and have enjoyed them all, especially our current dog, Maizey who is very friendly and energetic and would love to come along for the walk. We'll give your dog the same love and attention as our own. Use promo code: TEDR10205 if you are new to Rover.com for $20 off your first booking. I'm currently retired and can walk your dog in YOUR neighborhood almost any day and most evenings. I also offer daycare from our SECOND home. I normally walk our dog around 7am and again in the afternoon or evening. But I'm flexible and can adjust to your dog's needs. I would always prefer to do a meet & greet before your actual stay so that you and your dog can get to know us. I'm happy to take small/medium dogs up to about 25 pounds.
Waterford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erin does a great job! She's responsive, reliable, and genuinely cares about my pets. I always feel comfortable knowing they're in good hands with her. I also appreciate that she has veterinary experience, which gives me extra confidence in the care she provides. I highly recommend her!

Erin is very kind and loving with our dog. She is respectful of our home, punctual and communicative during her visits with photos and updates. I have requested her several times for drop ins and would definitely recommend her. She deserves the 5 star rating!

Kira did an amazing job watching my dog, Callie! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience really easy and stress-free. She was great with communication and clearly cared a lot about Callie’s comfort and well-being. Callie can be a little shy at first, but Kira was patient and kind, and Callie warmed up to her quickly. It was clear that she was in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!

Natasha D. is such a dog lover. Mertz adores her. She actually pays attention to my dog and isn’t on her phone the entire visit. She’s engaging and plays with him!! I would highly recommend her! I was looking for a Freind for him too not just a body to let him out and pee! Natasha D. Is it!! 😊
