“James is such an amazing cat sitter and cat whisperer! He enjoys hanging with each cat, brushing them, petting them and playing with them. He is reliable and consistent. It was a comfort being away, knowing our kitties were in such good hands.”
“Grace is FANTASTIC! She is a lovely, pleasant, and very reliable person. Super easy to communicate, always on time to show up with a great care. Both my cat and I are very happy to get to know her. I will definitely ask her again!”
“Jessica is a stellar pet sitter! She was available for a last minute booking- worked with my kittie’s schedule and even gave them a little extra time when she was able to (since we had some short visit days). I wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your furry loves and home :)”
“Thanks so much Catherine, you are the best. We could tell when we got home that the kitties had been well cared for. They were happy and glad to see us. We appreciate everything you’ve done including watering the plants.”
“Lily was excellent. She dropped in additional times to ensure our cat was OK even outside of the times we booked her for. She kept us updated and when we arrived back our little girl was content and well. Thank you lily!”
About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I work full time at a small animal clinic so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).
“Mary did a great job caring for Pandy. She’s kind, reliable, on time and is good at communicating in a timely fashion. Will definitely use her service again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. In my home growing up I had two big dogs and a cat. I cared for neighbors animals often whenever they traveled. I’m adept in training dogs and dog behavior. After moving from home I dearly missed my animals and started to volunteer at a rescue center near me five times a week. I’m currently in graduate school online, studying to be an elementary school teacher! I’m doing practical work at schools nearby part time. But ever since moving out of my home I miss the pet life. I volunteer often at a rescue shelter near me! Often I take dogs home for an enrichment vacation from the shelter! Taking care of dogs is something I make time for, because it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy. I have no pets myself so I offer a comfortable quiet environment for your beloved fur baby! I have a lovely yard just waiting for sniffs. It’s not fenced in but is surround by woods and I plan to fence eventually. There are also so many wonderful walking paths near me.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 15 years, and dog walked, cat sat, and housesat for various friends and neighbors, as well as grown up with cats and dogs. I’m currently in college with pretty open early mornings and afternoons, as well as free weekends. While my class schedule is not flexible, most afternoons and evenings are as I am primarily doing homework. I love going on walks and would love to take your dogs into north woods or around campus if they like people/ crowds! I follow house rules and will ensure that in my care your pets do to. I am comfortable crating dogs and keeping cats to allowed spaces. Additionally I know everyone has different routines and will adapt to make your pet most comfortable and follow what works for your household.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
“Athena took great care of my furry boys! They were alive and well when I returned, and my house was in great condition. She fed them, provided one of them with their meds, and changed the water & litter box as needed (theyre both automatic). She cleaned up the occasional cat hairballs which I was grateful for. She sent me pictures when I asked. Would absolutely hire her again!”
“I highly recommend Thomas as a rover sitter. My two cats were cared for like they were his own and I have never been so at ease when away from them. Thomas’s communication is excellent. In arranging pet sitting dates, discussing pet and household needs, coordinating timing of visits, providing rover card updates, videos, and pictures - he exceeded all expectations. Feeding, cleanliness, monitoring cat health were all done with excellence and dedication. Even with these needs met, I often feel guilty leaving them and worry about them not having enough play or attention. Thomas kept them so entertained that that fear went away for the very first time. I have a cat with special needs and Thomas was so attentive to him and thoughtful in how he played with him and cared for him. I was touched that Thomas was engaged with my cats enough to develop a solid understanding of their personalities and have fun with them. His updates regularly made me laugh. I am so grateful he was the one to take care of my cats. To anyone else considering him as their rover, I expect that if you book him you will feel the same.”
“Jessica was a huge help and gave me such peace of mind while I was away knowing the kitties were well cared for! Her updates made it easy to enjoy time away without worrying. Thanks again!!!”
“Star excellent, even when coming in at such short notice for us. Followed all instructions, sent regular updates, and kept us informed in all the goings on. We are incredibly grateful for the help.”

If you’re looking for someone who truly respects and knows how to handle your animals, Sadie’s the one you can count on.”

Amherst Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lily was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two cats, Dice and Button, while I was away on vacation and truly went above and beyond. From the very first visit, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly caring. She made sure both cats were well-fed, safe, and happy, and even spent extra time giving them attention and affection. Dice is usually shy, but under Lily’s care, he quickly warmed up and started following her around, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them feel. She also kept me updated every day with sweet notes and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Lily! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter.
Sophia took such great care of our two cats while we were away. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly connected with them—they were calm and content when we returned. Her updates and care gave us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable pet caregiver.
Thank you, again, Juliana for taking such great care of my furbaby! She was so relaxed when I got home and I really appreciated the detailed notes and all the pictures after each visit! You’re the best, I would highly recommend you! And I will definitely reach out again next time I travel. 🐾 Thank you!
Mari took wonderful care of our cats, will definitely book with her again! Both cats take medication for asthma, and Mari was totally comfortable learning how to administer. She clearly loves & knows how to care for animals, and I felt very at ease leaving my cats in her care!
