“Sarah was great housesitting for our pup and cat. We loved the photos and it was clear that our dog and cat had their playtime and cuddles and were well looked after.”


2. Olena I.
“I’m writing this letter with zero hesitation (and a small army of furry friends cheering me on) to recommend Olena for any pet-sitting, animal-watching, or general creature-loving role. I was lucky enough to be both a customer and a witness to her incredible ability to bond with animals. She cared for my cat while I was away, and the experience was seamless. She was attentive, respectful of the space, and followed every instruction I left. My cat was calm and well looked after when I returned, which speaks volumes about her presence and the way animals respond to her. On top of her animal care skills, she’s a gifted photographer. She took a photo set of me and my cat that I genuinely treasure. Pictures came out absolutely incredible! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and capable, I definetelly recommend Olena. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”

“Katie was absolutely great! Kept in contact, loved Daisy, followed through with all our contacts when there was a problem. She will care for your pet like they were her own! We are already booking another vacation with her!”


4. Tiffany R.
“Tiffany took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She was responsive whenever we contacted her for a check in and sent us so many cute photos of our happy dogs & our cat. When we arrived home, our dogs were so happy and relaxed it felt great to see. We could feel that they all had a great time together while we were away. Our house was also neat & organized when we got home...nothing messy or out of place. The whole experience was really a pleasure and makes us feel more comfortable going away now that we have a great pet-sitter and know our fur babies are well-cared for, safe and happy while we are gone. Thanks so much! We will definitely hire Tiffany again anytime we go away!”

“Cassandra is my daughter. She's getting great grades as a college sophomore. She has always loved pets--dogs and cats especially. She loves to take care of pets. She even ocassionally visits pet stores to spend time with the rescue animals. I think she would be a great pet sitter. The experience will make her even happier than the pets (and their human) that she helps.”


6. Kathleen L.
“Kathy takes amazing care of my cats when I’m away. After all the feeding and clean up duties, she makes sure to play with them and send me videos and updates. She is organized, clean, responsible and fun. She also takes fantastic care of my mother’s two very needy dogs when she travels. I can’t recommend her enough. She is professional, kindhearted, down to earth and is really the only person I feel safe leaving my pets with.”

About: My first pet was something I made a case to my parents for at the age of 5, outlining the various important care needs of dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for and trained all 6 dogs we had, including my own 2 dogs now! My current dogs have been trained by both myself, and under the guide of “Tails-U-Win” training facility. I’ve cared for high energy, large breed dogs my whole life, with a focus on Goldens. Training my own puppies since about 14 weeks, until their passing at 11-13 years of age. I’ve helped friends with their dogs, and stepped in to help care for them on occasion, as well as offering help or suggestions on care. I would be thrilled to meet your pets! I’m an artist and able to move my work with me, as it’s primarily digital work! No messy supplies or smells to worry about, or chance of irritation. I’m able to leave and be available to care for pets with short notice. My own dogs are brought to the local park at least once every other day, and are given enrichment through the day to ensure mental and physical needs are met. If those are things you’re interested in, let me know! I’m a big believer in meeting what needs each pet has. What works for one of my dogs, doesn’t work for the other, as their energy needs are drastically different. Lick mats, snuffle balls, flirt poles, frequent games of fetch, or just some quality time sitting on the floor and giving pets are all possible ways to offer pets outlets for their mental or physical needs. I’m well versed in what plants or foods are poisonous, and as I myself have a food allergy, anything I would eat would be completely self contained and monitored closely. I’m also thrilled to send photos or videos of pets when able, as it’s something I always find helpful if I have to leave my dogs in someone else’s care.

About: I am a retired London “Bobby” Police Officer who loves animals. Since 2016 I have made the quiet corner of New England home after working and traveling throughout the world in my two former careers. Now after being here for sometime I find myself with plenty of free time and I am putting myself out there to help out. I had my first dog in 2003 when he was a 3 month old puppy handed in to a London Police Station where i was working as a Police Constable. He lived until 12 years old and i was lucky enough to travel with him to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Falkland Islands, France, Spain and Malta where he spent his final years. Whilst in Malta i looked after various properties and Pets including Labradors, French Bulldogs and Cats. Message me if I can help out in any other way also. I work full time from around 8am and I am usually home no later than 3pm. Weekends are clear and free. My wife is willing to lend a hand on occasion. After learning the hard way with a Coonhound who likes to chase anything that moves, I am alert to the individual needs of owners and their pets. I am happy to exercise Pets on or off their leases depending on one's wishes.

About: I’m already pet sit through another site (where I do have reviews) and have decided to expand my services to Rover! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. From a young age, I developed a deep love and passion for pets. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even farm animals, I’ve always felt a special connection with them. Having pets around was a big part of my life, and I truly miss that companionship now that I travel full time. I have been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since elementary school. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, even wild ones! My experience spans beyond just cats and dogs; I’ve cared for reptiles, bunnies, frogs, fish, and even farm animals. I’m also an artist and have traveled to 47 states in the US, as well as lived in Paris and the Middle East. My extensive travel has given me a unique perspective on animal care, and I’ve learned to adapt to the needs of various pets in different environments. I travel full time across the US and have been to multiple countries, which has given me the opportunity to pet sit for family and friends along the way. My nomadic lifestyle has allowed me to meet and care for a wide variety of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I pride myself on being clean, respectful, and attentive to the needs of the pets we care for. I understand the importance of maintaining a tidy and safe environment for your pets, and treat every home I stay in with the utmost respect.
