1. Kate J.

“Considering this was our first time engaging a sitter via Rover, we got really lucky finding someone like Kate. Not only was she able to administer insulin to one of our cats, she was very accommodating of our schedules and specific requirements. She was punctual & responsible, and a big bonus that the cats didn't shy away from her :)”


2. Stephanie M.

“Stephanie is so wonderful with my pups! She is a great communicator, sends me updates and pictures and my dogs seemed relaxed when I came back after my work trip. 100% recommended 🙌”


3. Claire A.

“Claire is a cat whisperer - I think our cat might like her better than us! She does a great job taking care of our cat and our house. She is our go-to cat sitter.”


4. Kassidy L.

“Kassidy stayed at our house to watch our 2 large dogs and she was amazing. I only have great things to say - she was timely, communicative, the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. Even the house was clean when we returned home. We will definitely have her watch our dogs again! Highly recommend”


5. Stephanie T.

“Steph was a great dog and house sitter for the long weekend. Our Boxer dog got to stay at home and with someone that obviously cares for dogs. Very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will definitely look to book with her more in the future.”


6. Carrie K.

“Carrie did a great job.”


7. Anna Y.

“Anna was great with the dogs and took good care of the house! The dogs got lots of love and time outside and Anna left a sweet note detailing their days and adventures for me to read when I got back home! I'll definitely book Anna for future sittings!”


8. Rebecca F.

“Rebecca did a magnificent job! She stayed at our house to take care of our 10 year old Morkie and ensured that he was well taken care of throughout our trip! She gave him plenty of walks and kept us in the loop throughout the stay, sending us pictures and giving him lots of attention, which he needs and loves! We were able to feel truly comfortable while out of town, knowing that he was in the best hands. Thank you Rebecca!”


9. Dale T.

“Dale was great! She was super friendly, Ellie loved her right away. We were very nervous as this was the first time we’d used Rover and left Ellie behind but Dale communicated every day sending us pictures and letting us know how things were going. She even cleaned up before she left so we’d come home to a nice, clean house.”


10. Noreen T.
About: I have worked as an animal sitter since graduating from college in 2010. We lost our two adopted dogs this year at the ripe old ages of 17 and 14 and have not brought any new indoor pets into our home. I have volunteered with animals and worked in a veterinary setting with large animals (horses mostly!) I graduated with a degree in animal sciences. I am well equipped for special needs dogs with a large dog stroller and wheelchair! I work outside of the home 4 days a week and am home Friday through Sunday to spend as much time with your pet as they need! I love to run, so if you have a high-energy dog, then reach out to me! We can wear each other out. Our home is dog friendly with a large fenced in yard with indoor access for dogs that prefer to make their own indoor/outdoor schedule. We love to have pups and cats snuggle on the couch with us or play in our large yard. We have farm animals, lots of new smells and places to explore!


11. Danae S.

“Danae was incredible. She was so detailed oriented, flexible, and reliable. We felt so at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of our little guy (who looked like he was having a blast). If you’re looking for high quality care, Danae is your person!”




12. Gabrielle L.

“Gabrielle was great with Bronco, she sent regular picture updates and followed all of our instructions. She also left our home exactly how she found it which is very much appreciated! We will definitely book her in the future for the next time we travel!”


13. Chyna G.

“Thank you again Chyna for the excellent care you gave Fitzgerald! Chyna is one of the few that my cat Fitzgerald actually likes! She has removed our fear when we leave our boy because she takes such great care of him. She sends multiple videos and pictures while we are gone. Highly recommend Chyna!”


14. Morgan T.
“Morgan has always been a lover of animals I've seen her with. Namely, her two dogs, which I've only ever seen her look upon with pure adoration. I find a dog to be the best judge of character, and I daresay her loving companions have judged to have a heart of gold.”


15. Kevin T.

“Kevin was awesome and a complete life saver. He responded to my inquiry immediately and was able to accommodate us the very next morning to watch Bruce. He was communicative throughout the day watching our pup and sent lots of videos and progress updates. I'd recommend Kevin to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog and will be using him again in the future.”


16. Shauna B.
“Shauna loves all animals, especially dogs and cats. She has a huge heart and it shows in how the animals respond so well to her.”


17. Emily D.
About: Hi there! I'm Emily and I've been around animals of all kinds, primarily dogs and cats, my entire life. Originally from Central Maine, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing Management and moved to Colorado after graduation. There, I started pet Sitting through Rover in 2020. It was a great way to keep myself busy, and I love hanging out with animals, so it was a win-win for me! In 2024 I joined the Denver Pro Pet Sitting company in Denver, CO as a Professional Pet Sitter. I am currently based in Dover, NH. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your pet(s) and ensuring they are healthy and happy! I typically wake up early in the morning, and whenever there is a dog with me I go for 30-minute walks. I'm also from Maine, so winter walks are not an obstacle. I also work remotely and have a flexible hybrid schedule, so I try to be flexible for you as the dog owner. I typically devote whatever time I'm scheduled 100% to the dog, and prepare for their visit beforehand so I'm not needing to leave the dog along for too long. Being fully present during the visit is very important to me!


18. Isabelle S.
“Isabelle has a great love for animals. At 8 years old she walked the neighbors dogs. She rode horses and cleaned the barn. She would ask the owner questions about their pet. So she could best meet the needs of the pet in her care. She cared for our rabbit , cats, fish and dog.”




19. Beth G.

“Beth and Samantha were fabulous! They provided fantastic care for our pup and provided us great updates along the way. Great peace of mind as they stayed at our house and looked after our pup while we were gone for the night. Can’t say enough about their care for our little guy, who absolutely has a new best friend. He was all tuckered out with a wagging tail when we got home. Will definitely reach out again and highly recommend!”


20. Miki L.

“Miki took great care of our senior pup while we were away. She reached out with any concerns to ensure his behavior was typical. He was immediately comfortable with her from her first introduction visit.”
