“This was the first time we had McKenzie care for our senior dog, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Everything went extremely well while we were away. Would highly recommend and would definitely use her again! Thank you McKenzie!!”
About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.
“Stefanie was great! My cat is not an easy customer but Stefanie got the job done exactly as I asked, while giving my kitty the space she needs. I was able to have peace of mind while I was away on vacation.”
About: As a husky mix owner, I’m very used to high-energy dogs and the importance of consistent, engaging walks. I’ve also cared for dogs through pet sitting and walking for friends and family so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and routines. I work in a restaurant that doesn’t open till 4:30 Monday - Friday so I am available all day, some weekends and a few nights a week! I care for pets by maintaining a calm, safe, and familiar environment that follows their usual routine. I pay close attention during walks and playtime to ensure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and introductions to other animals, and I always treat the client’s home with respect. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for while owners are away.
“Varalee was wonderful. I felt so at ease while I was away, she cared for my 8 year old cat Poppy. excellent communication & always provided very thorough report cards of her visits. she gave my cat a lot of attention & care! I could tell that Poppy was at ease when I returned & everything was very clean when I arrived home which I appreciate. I would book again.”
“Jessica is a wonderful caregiver for our cat Smokey! She is friendly and responsive in communication. She also leaves the most thoughtful and detailed reports after each and every visit! We can tell that she is following the feeding and water instructions we leave and is making sure Smokey has a fun time playing! The many pictures she sends are great too!”
“Cecilia was great! She was reliable, responsive and gave me daily updates, including pictures. My cat seemed to enjoy her visits and was relaxed and happy when we got home. We will definitely request her again.”
About: Animals, including dogs, live by instinct and intuition, which has always intrigued me and taught me a lot of life lessons. For as long as I can remember, spending time with different dogs in my life, I can really get a sense of each dog just by looking in their eyes. I.e. what the dog needs, how the dog feels and why. I have always loved animals and spent a lot of time with them growing up. My dad had a dog in his house that I used to take care of for years. I love to watch the nature and personality of each dog. I also have a hamster at home that I care for including vet visits. When I take my hamster to the vet, I meet dogs and dog owners there who I really enjoy spending time with and learning about.
“Another excellent visit Marc is always on time and treat my pets like his own. One of my Shetland dog is very nervous around people but Marc has won her over with kindness and patience. Can’t say enough about his service.”

About: Welcome to my profile! I started on Rover as a sitter in 2017 and absolutely fell in love with every pet I got the opportunity to care for. In late 2020 - early 2021 I chose to take a break from Rover to focus on my personal and professional life. Since that time I have continued to care for a select few dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and one cat for my close friends and some clients that were recommended me as a sitter from my past stays/jobs. I’ve always had an unwavering passion for all animals, exotics included, so I could never stay away from animal care completely. Currently, I work as Vet Tech Assistant at a local private practice and have been there for a little over 2 years now. Every day I’m learning something new about animal behavior, health, and medicinal practices and techniques. The learning never stops and that’s my favorite part. Because I’m lucky enough to have this job, my lifestyle is extremely flexible in regard to caring for other people’s pets. It’s also given me the tools and understanding of how to properly care for all types of pets, regardless of age, breed, temperament, medical status/needs, or any specific routines/training techniques necessary. Caring for animals can be difficult at times, emotionally and physically, but it’s my favorite part of life and I would be honored to have your pet(s) become a part of that. Whether it be drop by visits, walks, or overnight sitting, your pet(s) will receive the same consistent level of care as my own pets and patients do. Leading with fear-free techniques, compassion, patience, love, humor, and medical knowledge, I hope to provide a higher level of care to your pets than they may have had in the past. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile, I’m eager to hear from you and your pets and happy to answer any questions you may have! I work full time as a Veterinary Assistant at a Veterinary Hospital locally here on Cape Cod, my typical schedule includes 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week. Thankfully, due to the nature of my job, I am able to take pets into work with me if they need extra time outside, have separation anxiety, or require regular medication administration. I have a full house of pets, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 frogs, 2 turtles, a parrot, and multiple fish tanks(indoor and outdoor). I strive every day to provide the upmost care for all of my animals to ensure they live their best lives filled with love, enrichment, comfort, and happiness. I always carry this mentality and practice to all the animals I care for outside of my own, as if they were my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was in highschool. I have taken care of 3 dogs at once and enjoy running around and bringing them on walks. I love to snuggle and give all my love to every pet! This will be my daily as well as weekly routine. Whatever anyone needs I am willing to be flexible to their pets and the families I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run around. I have a loving lab that would love to have a playmate. However I also have two extra rooms and will be willing to separate the dogs for whatever reason. Anything to make your fur baby feel more at home
About: I grew up always having a dog and other pets in our home. I absolutely love animals! When I was 19 I got my first dog on my own, Kyla she was a yellow lab and the love of my life. I currently have 2 Belgian Malinois- Cali and Bruin. I've worked training with them and another German Shepherd. I've also volunteered with MSPCA in the past. I would love to help in any way needed to keep your four legged friend happy and safe. I am experienced in many different breeds of dogs. Whether it's puppies or elderly dogs I have experience with both and I always care for them as I do my own! Walking, running, playing, feeding, brushing, cleanup or even belly rubs! I love caring for animals! :) I am currently working part-time as a PCA, doing in home private care. Prior, I was full-time for 10 years with a woman who suffered a TBI. I am very flexible with my daily schedule as I can move my work hours around to fit my dog's clients needs. I don't bring dog's I am caring for to my house, as mine get too worked up! I can care for pet's in their home/yard and walk them from there. I also take some dogs to different trails, hikes, and dog parks. All up to the owner's preference! I am happy to do what works best :)

“Sabrina was great!! We needed her in a pinch when our regular am Rover sitter broke her ankle. She was prompt, communicated well with me with questions, and worked well with my pet.”

Kelly is amazing. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She is thoughtful and courteous and you can just tell that she loves animals and that they love her right back. I think our girls were a little disappointed to see us come through the door after our vacation instead of her!!! 😉 We look forward to working with her in the future! Thanks, Kelly for making our vacation even better! Roxy and Emma miss you already.
We have had such wonderful experiences with Daniel & Tonja. They are incredibly attentive, compassionate, and truly went above and beyond for our family and our pets. What meant the most to us was the kindness they showed during a really difficult time. After our English bulldog, Lizzie, passed away unexpectedly, they took the time to get us a heartfelt card. That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides excellent care, but also genuinely cares about the families they work with. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter.
