“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9-month-old boxer, Teddy! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure to keep Teddy on his routine and gave him plenty of playtime. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and Teddy had a great time with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our little boy!!!!”


“Olivia was great and accommodated a very last minute request while still stopping by ahead of the weekend to meet me, Gus and Hazel. She stayed at the house with my dogs Gus and Hazel and did a great job handling them and communicating with me the entire weekend. I would recommend Olivia and would ask her to stay with Gus and Hazel again.”


“Danielle arrived on time to house sit our dog. My dog immediately warmed up to her. We were running late and Danielle stayed until we came back. She has a passion in caring for pets and we would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Holly, and I recently graduated from college in May. I’ve cared for dogs of family, friends, and neighbors for years, walking, feeding, and staying overnight. I treat every pup like my own, with love, attention, and reliable care. I have experience with both cat and dog sitting, and have personally owned both, as well as a rabbit! I currently work for a marketing services agency fully-remote. I am available for overnights, and will be able to do walks in the morning, night, and during the afternoon between calls. I currently work remote at home, so I am able to do overnights and provide walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night for pups. I treat all dogs like they are my own corgi. I have loved animals my whole life and have owned my dog Finn, two cats, and a rabbit, all of which I have taken exceptional care of.

“Our first time hiring outside of family membets so we were extremly netvous. The rover site was a nice easy platform and process as well. We chose Janice and we knew immediately at the meet and greet we chose the right person for us and Louie our 2yo Cavapoo. She had us feeling at ease and comfortable thruout the visit that we had no issues to worry about. She provided a pic and feedback to us while away. She was very professional,friendly, kind and knowledgable. Through our comunications with her i knew she loved and nutured all animals and safety was of utmost importance. She is a very loving and conscientious knowledgable caretaker and would not hesitate to hire her again! The very best and Louie and our family are very fortunate to have found her, we thank you Rover!!”

She not only took Nala on multiple walks a day and gave her lots of enrichment, she also came back for an extra walk the last day when our plane was getting in later. She left the house in perfect condition and our dog seems so content !”


About: I’m new to Rover and don’t have much professional experience yet, but I have cared for dogs and cats in my previous home. I love animals and am very caring and patient. I’m eager to learn and committed to providing the best care possible, following each pet’s routine and needs with attention and respect. I care for pets with lots of love, organizing my time to provide focused and punctual walks and visits. I want every animal to feel loved and comfortable, and I keep clear communication with pet parents to ensure peace of mind. During walks and visits, I prioritize your pet’s safety by carefully following all instructions. I use a secure leash and am cautious to keep your pet calm and comfortable. I respect your home environment and send photos so you can feel at ease.

“Julia was a wonderful sitter for our puppy Millie. She had very good communication from the start, was prompt, and took great care of our dog. Photos were sent of our happy puppy playing with toys and playing outside. She obviously enjoys spending time with dogs and we’d be lucky to have her watch Millie again.”


About: Hi! My name is Abby and I have been watching pets since I was a kid! My uncle next door had a dog who had 3 litters of the golden retriever mixes. I helped him raise and take care of them. In college, I was a nanny for a family with a lab and black cat. When they were out of town I took care of their pets. I nannied for a second family a few years later and babysat their golden retriever, bunny, and 2 persian cats when they would go on vacation as well. At times I would also babysit my sister’s chihuahua mix overnight. I had two cats for about 10 years.I also own three sugar gliders. I just adopted a miniature pincher mix, she is the friendliest dog and gets along with any dog or person. Pets and children are my specialty. I love all animals even if I am allergic to most of them :). I work from home mon-fri 7am-3pm. My dog gets me out of the house and if she has a friend to walk with or visit, it would be a fun playdate for her as well! I have given meds to both my cats since they are seniors. My sister’s dog had pills she had to take as well, which i would do when i babysat her. I am pretty easy going with what i need to do for who ever asks me to watch their pets because I care about what they need. I am the girl at a friends house playing with their cat and dog most of the time.

About: i have had multiple years of experience dog walking and pet sitting. i’ve worked with dogs from puppies to seniors. From the easiest of dogs to very very shy and reactive dogs i have created remarkable relationships with them. i’m not afraid to take on a challenge! i am a very hard worker. i also have a vet. tech.assistant certification from massasoit. that has also helped give me knowledge about pet care and pet safety. i’ve also owned dogs and cats my whole life. i have a 17 year old dog, and two cats 7 and 8 both males. i’ve always gotten along with animals extreamly well and still do! pet care fits into my daily routine by owning animals. also by dog walking and pet sitting as a job is daily as well too. i care for pets in a clients home by making sure to always have the dog on a leash when going for a walk or if a client doesn’t have a fence. if the client has a fence i always double check to see if the fence door is closed before i will let the dog outside. also to make sure all doors that are supposed to be closed are closed so there is no possible way the dog can get out.

“Sadie was great! She stopped by several times over the weekend to take care of my dogs. Each time she came by she sent me photos and refilled their food/water. She also kept me up to date with any issues that came up while I was gone! I would highly recommend Sadie to take care of anyone's animals!”


About: I’ve had my two cockapoos for 7 years and have cared for many dog breeds, cats, even chickens and bunnies! I’ve been in the pet sitting business for over 7 years, and I love bonding with every pet I meet. I’m currently on summer break from my second year at BSU. With plenty of free time, I’d love to care for your fur babies and make sure they have everything they need! In a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure fresh water is always available and food is provided according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. I also take time to engage with the pet through play and walks. Cleanliness is very important to me, so I make sure feeding areas and any used supplies are kept clean and organized.

“Ann is the absolute best! Our dog is prone to seizures although he has luckily never had any with a sitter. That changed this week, our poor pup had 4 seizures while Ann was here and she was so communicative with us trying to ensure that she makes him as comfortable as possible. We felt so comfortable with Ann knowing our Ollie was in the best hands. She was also super accommodating with us. We are in the middle of selling our house and was super flexible with our schedule, taking Ollie out when we had requested showings, as well as making sure the house was super clean!”


“Katie is no doubt one of the best sitters we have had. Her love for Miso was quite evident from the time she came for the meet and greet. It was really heart-warming to see how quickly Katie realized what Miso wanted in order to feel comfortable (being with her, hugs and play time). She earned her trust quickly and Miso seemed very happy and safe with Katie. Couldn't have asked for more. She came across as an excellent human being who can give lot of love to animals too. Thank you Katie for agreeing to take care of Miso at short notice. We will call her any time we need someone to take care of our baby.”

Jennifer K.
“Jen is the best dog sitter ever! She is so kindhearted, intuitive in nature, and absolutely the most attentive person we’ve been lucky enough to care for our sweet older dog. Our dog is a bit medically complex, has a lot of allergies, and requires a lot of extra love and care. Jen does it all and she does it all from the heart. She genuinely cares about our girl as if she was her own. She even keeps notes—if you have a medically complex pup like ours—some days she’s off & Jen knows just by looking at her expression. If you are looking for the best of the best—Jen is your girl. We had never trusted anyone with our girl. She is very patient, understanding, and the kindest most down to earth person you and your pet will be so happy!”

Lea M.
“I highly recommend Lea as a loving pet caregiver. Lea has been walking my two dogs, Duke and Murphy, who are not the easiest walkers, for quite some time now, and I can confidently say that she is exceptionally dedicated, trustworthy, and passionate about her work with animals. Lea has consistently demonstrated her reliability and professionalism in every interaction we've had. She always arrives on time and ensures that my two dogs receive the care and exercise they need during their walks. Her genuine love for animals is evident in how she interacts with them – she is patient, attentive, and understands each dog's needs and quirks. Not only is Lea responsible and attentive, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs/animals in her care. She is proficient at handling different breeds and temperaments, and I have full confidence in her ability to handle any situation during a walk. In addition to her exceptional skills as a dog walker, Lea is also a pleasure to work with. She communicates effectively, listens to any concerns or preferences, and always keeps me updated on how my two dogs were doing while I was on vacation. I cannot recommend Lea highly enough as a loving pet caregiver/walker. Her passion for animals, combined with her professionalism and reliability, make her an invaluable asset to any pet owner.”
