âJackie watched our sweet and sensitive boy. She was very communicative and our pup was his normal self when we came home which is a great sign. she even took time to walk our pup a few times before we went away, which was super helpful.We feel so much more confident planning trips!â

âMarti did a great job watching my cats for a week. I couldnât be happier she communicated often. I will absolutely book her again. She took excellent care of my animals and even my most anxious cat was comfortable with her. I highly recommend Martiâ

âI couldnât be happier with the service provided by Sabrina. I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home and care for my 13 year old German Shepherd. I am very cautious about who stays in my home, but I knew after meeting her and having her do a previous drop in service that I was comfortable choosing her. She took great care of my dog, walked her and gave her medications 3 times a day. She sent me several pupdates too!â

âGreat with our dog! Heâs a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly againâ

âJennifer was great with our puppy, Ron! We went to a Bills game for the entire day and she sent up dates throughout. Ron as attachment issues but she made him very comfortable and feel at home. I highly recommend her for a sitter!â

âWe are so happy we found Kendra. She has watched our 3 dogs, including one who needs some extra attention several times and has taken such great care of them. She sends lots of pictures and updates so you know they are ok. I would highly recommend her to any of our friends and family. Hopefully she will consider sitting for us again in the future.â

About: I take care of all animals, special needs animals too. I love sending updates and photos of your pets while youâre away. Always happy to help provide care! My schedule is pretty open ended and I can do mornings and evenings, I understand how important schedules are for you and your pets needs. For my own home I make sure there is everything for the animals needs to be met, including enrichment and dietary needs for my animals.
âKatie was amazing! She watched my dog, Molly, for the day. Katie was very accommodating to my schedule, communicated effectively and most importantly kept Molly happy and safe! I would highly recommend her to anyone.â

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I can remember. In high school, I walked some dogs in my neighborhood and checked in on them throughout the evening! I have taken care of my own older dogs and have recently been around a lot of puppies, so I know how to take care of both. I am currently in college and have a lot of time to take care of your pet! I would love to get some extra steps in by taking your pet on a walk. I am also new to the area and would love to get to know the community more! I always take my dog on long walks and the same will be true of any walks I take your pets on! I enjoy time playing with all animals and taking care of them!
âWe booked Brittany for dog sitting and Brittany was so great with our dog! We have a large Siberian Husky who is very active can be difficult but Brittany was great with him. She took him on multiple walks a day, played with him, and updated us with pictures of him while we were away!â


âSteven was amazing!!! He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of. He even made himself available when our vacation got delayed to take the dog out for an additional day.â

âIncredible. Iâm always afraid to have someone new with my doggies and my home but Alex kept me informed and was on top of everything. We came home to very happy pups. I really hope I get to have her again.â

âBailey was wonderful with Ace! Communication was terrific and we felt very comfortable having Bailey stay in our home while we were away. Highly recommend Bailey!â

Amherst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kara was an amazing sitter for our dog Mila. She always kept in touch sharing pictures of our Mila, took her for walks, let her out into the yard to enjoy the nice weather and played with her. They kept each other company and you can tell Kara really likes dogs and they really like her!

I cannot recommend Cora and Debbie enough! They stayed at our house to watch our two dogs for 2 nights. They were extremely attentive and patient with both dogs. Cora sent frequent updates and pictures to ease our minds. They administered medications for our dog and took them both on walks! Very happy with their servicesđ

Emma was incredibly polite and attentive with my two dogs and catâshe might even be a cat whisperer! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and, most importantly, very happy pets. Thank you so much, Emma!

Ellie was our dog Milaâs first sitter, and she was fantastic: providing constant feedback on Mila and sending pictures and taking care of our Mila like she was her own. Would absolutely recommend her to look after your pets if you have the chance to book her.

Sam was absolutely amazing with our senior English Bulldog. We adopted her recently and hadnât left her alone with anyone other than immediate family. Sam quickly settled in with Daisy and made her (and us!) comfortable. Sam sent just the right amount of messages and pictures while we were away. We could not have asked for anyone better to have stayed with our little girl. Thank you so much, Sam!
