“Lori was fantastic with my 2 cats, one has diabetes and needs a shot twice a day, she handled it like a pro!! Lori was prompt, sent me pictures and was very nice and kind to my cats (overheard by my daughter in law who lives upstairs). I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lori again.”
“Lovely experience with Wren! My partner and I were confident our two cats were in good hands with Wren. This was our first time using Rover so we weren’t sure what to expect; Wren made everything clear and was super communicative. Thanks Wren”
“The most phenomenal sitters! My boys and I lucked out with Hayley and lucy. I couldn’t have asked for more attentive and thoughtful care for my kitties. From photos to detailed reports, I couldn’t rest assured they were doing well.”
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember! My background working on farms taught me to stay calm under pressure and handle animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a stubborn puppy or a cat that needs a little extra space, I’m highly observant of animal body language. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m looking forward to helping you and your pet! I work remotely in the South End, giving me great flexibility for walks and house sitting. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide a high level of supervision and quick responses for any last minute needs. I treat your home with the same care I treat my own. While house sitting, I stay tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure your pet’s environment stays consistent and without stress. I provide detailed updates and photos after every visit or throughout a stay. I’m also happy to handle small household tasks.
About: I have a cat of my own, so I know how to take care of them in a way that will give them the love and care they deserve. Rest assured that your cat will love the company we’ll provide for them I have a full-time remote job, so while working I can still care for your pets and give them the deserved attention and love they need I provide a loving and caring personality when taking care of your pet. Quality time, food, and a whole lot of love is my service, and I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands
“I immediately trusted and felt comfortable with Jaime. She is very professional, communicative, and thorough, and she made sure Gus had such a blast!!! Lots of play, exercise, and cuddles. What more could you want?”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for nearly 20 years. Would love to walk, visit, play with, and tire out some pets! Interested in hikes, swimming, and lounging around. I work from home Monday to Friday 8:30-4:30. I can “work from home” from anywhere so available to dog sit if wifi/working from home is possible. Open flexibility on weekends/evenings. I live in a condo building with two cats. Dog would have to be cat friendly (or neutral). There is a field across the street to run!
About: From my first family cat at age 3, to the German Shepherd I rescued and I trained to win two 4-H County Obediance Championships, to the two wonderful cats my kids and I adopted from the SPCA, I've spent my whole life loving and caring for cats and dogs, and I look forward to caring for and loving yours:) As a full-time high school Music and English teacher, I'm currently available late afternoons, evenings and weekends. But in the summer, I will have much more availability. My teenagers are old enough to stay home on their own, so short-term house sitting and overnight pet care are also possible for me. I'm not able to care for pets in my home, as I have two cats that may not appreciate animal vistors. However, I can visit your home, and possibly stay overnight short term.
About: My family has a cat and Great Pyrenees so I am comfortable and love all size of dogs! I am very active and love to walk animals Currently I am on the professional job hunt and have open availability for mornings, days, or nights as needed. I enjoy staying active and getting outside which is why rover fits great into my schedule. I just moved into a pet friendly building and don’t yet have a pet of my own. I have a marine biology degree and love both sea and land creatures. I am reliable and trustworthy sticking to planned schedules and can provide photos of your furry friend as much as requested!
About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.
About: Have cared for dogs and cats for over 20 years, have had my own cats and dogs which I have cared for and trained. Looking to continue caring for more animals. I work a flexible job where my mornings, evenings and weekends are open. I am often able to take breaks during the day as needed. I have a pet friendly apartment and will be able to provide breaks as needed. I live very close to large green areas for walks and play.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior cat, Zoey! They were so caring, attentive, and responsive throughout her stay. Knowing she was in such good hands made moving so much easier for us. It was clear they genuinely cared for Zoey and treated her like their own. We would absolutely book with them again! 🐾❤️”
“We had such a great experience with Johanna! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, and her daily updates and photos were such a comfort. She truly went over and beyond, and cared about what our kitties needed while being away! We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Britney was very attentive and provided frequent updates which were very reassuring. We hadn’t left our cats for several years so it was quite stressful initially but Britney was competent and understanding and was open to any suggestions. She not only took great care of our cats but was very respectful of our home while she stayed to provide our cat care. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again.”
About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. For winter walks, I follow a safety-first policy. If sidewalks are icy, there is freezing rain/sleet, or conditions are unsafe for walking, I may need to cancel or reschedule. I’ll always give as much notice as possible.
About: I've grown up around pets and have looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbours. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and sticking to any routines they have. I think what sets me apart is that I'm really patient and attentive, and I genuinely love animals, so I treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 🐾💕 I do most of my schoolwork from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home during the day. That makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine, whether that's walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or just keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m super respectful and trained with animals! I’m open to all kinds of care and experienced in each that I offer. I’m so excited to get to know your pet.
About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dartmouth
We've booked Cassie once so far and we're very impressed with the level of care for both of our cats. They were very professional with all communications and very thorough during their visits. The litter boxes were immaculate and their food bowls were washed when we got home. We will definitely be looking to book Cassie for future trips. Thank you so so much Cassie! Stark and Loki were very happy with you. 🐈⬛🐈
Grace was really patient with our shy cat, even though he barely came out for his food. While at the same time made sure that our other active and friendly cat got all the cuddles and play they needed. We are very happy we chose Grace to take care of our fur babies.
Tamanna and Pramond were so wonderful with our senior cat Koji. My wife and I had to leave for 3 days for a wedding and Tamanna/Pramond took care of our baby, feeding her, giving her treats, keeping her company. We really felt at peace knowing she was getting so much care while we were away. Tamanna and Pramond are the kindest, sweetest couple who have cats of thier own and are true cat parents! We will definitely be looking to them for any future cat-sitting needs.
Esme is absolutely great! This was her second time taking care of our kitten and once again she was wonderful. She is very flexible and easy to communicate with and she always sends plenty of updates, photos, and videos during each visit. She also makes an effort to bond with our fur baby, who already loves her! We will definitely continue reaching out to Esme whenever we need a pet sitter.
Yeha went above and beyond to provide excellent care for my 17 year old senior cat, Bella while I was away for a short work trip. She provided very detailed descriptions of each visit which made me feel confident that Bella was getting very detailed care, including administering her medication. I always felt assured from her updates and the attached photos showed how all of my kitties really liked her energy and were happy to see her! We will certainly hope to book Yeha again in the future!
Zoe took care of my senior cat, Vera, and it was a good experience all around! She was communicative and great with Vera, who can be a bit slow to warm up. Vera took to her immediately and it gave me peace of mind to know she was well cared for while I was away. Zoe asked lots of questions when we first met up to make sure she fully understood Vera's needs, likes and dislikes. I will definitely book again!
Bianca was so amazing! She dropped in to check on our kitty each day, sent such great updates and photos after each visit, and was just overall so easy to communicate with. Felt completely at ease knowing she was stopping by to check in on our boy, as well as keep him company, refill water, and play with him each day. Don't hesitate to book her!
