About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while you’re busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.
About: Years of Experience: 7 I have been caring for pets for seven years, raising a lovable poodle and a domestic shorthair cat. Through this experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, training, and daily care. I know how to cater to different personalities—whether it’s providing energetic playtime, gentle walks, or a cozy lap for cuddles. I’m attentive to their needs, from feeding routines to potty breaks, and I always ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is active and playful or relaxed and independent, I’ll treat them like my own! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time taking care of pets. I have a domestic shorthair cat in my house which is pretty friendly. I have a single house with a big yard that enables the dogs to run around and play. There are plenty of cat toys in my house.
About: Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a recent graduate of the University of New Hampshire! As a lifelong dog owner, I have hands-on experience with daily pet care, including walks, feeding, exercise, and companionship. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their dogs and have years of babysitting experience, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and dependability. I look forward to providing a safe, caring, and fun experience for your pet. I’m available Monday through Friday for drop-in visits and can be flexible with timing throughout the day. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and needs! I provide pets with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while they are away.
“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“Frances was great and flexible! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to all of my requests of getting more photos, leaving notes, pick up/drop off keys etc. I would recommend her to take care of any of your furry friends!”
About: I’m a dog lover through and through. I have my own high-energy rescue, Magnum, who keeps me on my toes and has taught me everything about patience, persistence, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds. Bull Mastiffs, Goldens, Goldendoodles, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and everything in between. I’m fully comfortable with leash-reactive dogs and strong pullers. My own pup is a serious tugger, so I know exactly how to manage and work with dogs who need a little extra handling. I love going beyond the standard neighborhood loop. If your dog has energy to burn, let’s take them on a hike, find a swimming spot, or go for a solid run. I tailor every outing to your dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s a leisurely sniff-fest or a full-on adventure. Every walk comes with photo updates so you can see your pup living their best life. Your dog is safe, loved, and well-exercised in my hands Available all week, mornings and evenings preferred — I schedule walks early or later in the day to avoid hot pavement and keep your pup safe and comfortable in warm weather. •I always check pavement temp before walks — if it’s too hot for my hand, it’s too hot for paws •Morning and evening scheduling keeps dogs cool and safe •Comfortable handling reactive dogs and strong pullers •Leashed at all times in traffic and public areas •Photo updates every walk so you’re never left wondering
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
About: I can assist with a baby or with keeping a senior comfortable! Administering medication, bathing, walks, litter and leash training, or a simple warm cuddle! Pet care is my full time gig.

“We had a wonderful experience with Stefanni. She was caring, and attentive to Fancy and Sterling and we truly appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and comfortable at home. We’ll happily book her again!”

I have an open door crate dogs can go into if they are feeling overwhelmed or need a safe place to sleep.
“My dogs are my world. They aren't the easiest and I was hesitant to leave them in someone else's care. My husband and I chose Bethany. She had no problems with them and for the first time in years we are able to go away. We are confident knowing Kingsley and Rosa are being well taken care of by her. I highly recommend Bethany.”

If you have a energetic animal I will gladly match their energy!
About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more.

Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.

Caroline is absolutely amazing! She quickly formed a wonderful bond with our 16-year old spitfire. Rosie looked forward to Caroline's drop-ins and it was so comforting knowing that our special girl was in such capable hands. Caroline is also great at communicating which was helpful for us a first-time Rover clients. We give Caroline five stars and beyond!
Michelle is great with my dog Sasha. We have used her many times. She gets to know your dog’s personality and doesn’t hesitate to keep you in the loop and ask questions if something seems off. She sends great pictures and visit summaries. Michelle continues to be a go-to sitter for us.
Michelle agreed to watch my new puppy with very short notice when I had to take my other dog to a vet. Her communication was very prompt and on point. I just got the puppy a week ago and I think I was that neurotic new mother who had too many requests. Mechelle was very understanding and open to my requests. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with Bo (our new puppy) and send me the cutest pics. When I got home, Bo was asleep in his pen tired from all the playing. I decided to ask Michelle to come back regularly until Bo is a bit older so I can go to work rest assured that he is in good hands.
Julia was wonderful with my puppy! She was so gentle, patient, and kind, which really put me at ease as a first-time puppy parent. My pup warmed up to her right away upon first meeting. I can tell she is a gentle caring human. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him—highly recommend!
