Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.

Sabine was great. She took care of my big girl Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and you could tell she loves animals and that she new how to interact with cats. Suka came up to her and let her pet her on the meet and greet. I would hire Sabine again.

Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and care I give to every pet, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I can follow detailed care instructions, maintain feeding and walking schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routines so they can feel as happy and stress-free as possible. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive care for pets. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight stays, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I strive to make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I provide care in clients’ homes, I work to maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I respect every home as if it were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, especially dogs. I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and was always surrounded by dogs through friends and extended family, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have hands on experience with daily care, potty training, and understanding dog behavior, and I’m confident handling everything from high energy pups to more relaxed, older dogs. While my background is primarily with dogs, I bring that same attentiveness, patience, and reliability to caring for cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work a standard eight hour day, so pets would have some alone time during work hours. Before and after work, I make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I also have roommates who can help with a midday check in or let pets out if needed, which helps break up the day. I’m very mindful of keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel cared for even on a work schedule. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I adjust my approach based on the environment. In my own home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and free of anything they could get into. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so pets feel settled and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets stay in secure areas, keep doors and gates closed, and maintain a calm, familiar environment. I also pay close attention to behavior and energy levels to make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I worked with LastHopeK9 in fostering and taking care of dogs. I've pet sitted and walked dogs around my neighborhood many times. I've had my own dog who I trained for around 9 years. I'm an animal lover who cares about a dog's well-being and pays attention to their needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I have plenty of time during the week! Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available all day, as well as most weekends. I would make it a priority on those days to fulfill my duties. I am always respectful and diligent of what the client indicates me to do in their house and with their pet. I respect the owners rules and make sure to follow a routine for their pet, as well as communicate with the client about how it's going.

About: ❣️READ “Important To Know” TO SEE ADD ONS!❣️). ‼️if this is your first time booking on rover, message me to get $20 off! 🐾 About Me Hi! My name is Jacqueline. I’ve spent several years working with dogs in different environments including dog walking, daycare-style settings, and in-home boarding. Through this experience I’ve worked with many different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I went to a vocational High School to study animal science and have occupational experience as well. I bring a higher level of knowledge and training than typical pet sitters. My approach to pet care focuses on creating a calm, structured, and safe environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Every dog is treated with patience, supervision, and individual attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🎀Pricing: Some dogs require a bit more time, structure, or individual attention during their stay. In these cases, extended care may be required when booking with me. •require daily medications or special care for health conditions •need extra potty breaks or overnight care •potty training puppies •have mobility issues/senior care needs ^cost may be increased depending on the circumstance. 🐶 Meet Callie Callie is a 50lb german shepherd mix. She’s a service dog in training and loves to be around her mama. Callie is very social and great at starting playtime with others. Callie enjoys pup cups, trips to the dog park, car rides, beach days, and cuddling with her mom and dad at home. Callie will be your dogs bestie! 📸 Updates While You’re Away During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send: • photo updates • check-ins about meals and potty breaks • updates about how your dog is settling in My goal is to help owners feel comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care. 📝 What to Bring for Your Dog To help your dog feel comfortable during their stay, please bring: • your dog’s regular food • food and water bowl • leash or harness • any medications they require • treats that your dog enjoys Familiar items can help dogs adjust more easily to a new environment. ❗️NOTE: -please do not bring toys for your dog as many dogs tend to exhibit resource guarding when placed in unfamiliar areas and get defensive over their special toy. 💬 Communication Clear communication helps ensure the best possible stay for your pet. I’m always happy to answer questions before or during a booking, and I appreciate owners sharing details about their dog’s routine, preferences, and personality. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every dog in my care. I structure my daily routine around feeding schedules, potty breaks, enrichment time, and consistent exercise to make sure every animal in my care feels secure and loved. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or nighttime wind-downs, I prioritize routine, safety, and positive reinforcement. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s already built into how I live, so your pet will receive attentive, reliable care just like my own. Outside of my class schedule, pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I spend a lot of time with my own dog, including regular walks, park visits, and enrichment activities throughout the week. I’m very attentive to pets’ needs and make sure they get plenty of exercise, stimulation, and affection each day.

Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!

Matthew is an absolute dream of a cat sitter. He went above and beyond for our cat Ellie. He not only got her out of her hiding but also made sure to check up on her food litter and water regularly. He was also very helpful around the house. He voluntarily took out our trash and vacuumed the area where our cat had spilled litter. He worked with us on our weird arrangement of getting into the apartment and always updated us whether we replied or not. I would 100% recommend Matthew to anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and care. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat your pet like my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have my own dog and have experience caring for friends' pets as well. I'm used to feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and can easily fit into my schedule. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a safe environment, and make sure pets have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and supervision. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calmer routine, I aim to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe while you're away.
