“This is the second time Andrew has watched Apollo and he did such a great job. Apollo is a very timid dog and he seems to really love when Andrew comes over!! We definitely recommend Andrew and will be using him again!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond and kept my two cats well fed, well cared for and very happy. In addition she dealt with winter weather and household upkeep and was constantly in contact, being very observant about the cats and their environment.”
“Tereza is very responsive, clear with communication, reliable and my dog loves to see her! She does drop in visits for my dog a few days a week and always takes her for a walk around the neighborhood during the visits. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
“Erica helped us handle our dog Moose for our engagement photos and she was SO helpful!! She arrived early, had treats, and was super accommodating. Would definitely recommend Erica for taking great care of your pup!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sit for a number family members; cars, dogs, chickens, and a duck. Have taken care of my pets solo for extended periods of time. I am currently in school for Elementary Education. I have classes 3 times week, but 2 only have certain dates. I am not on campus for more than 2 hours each of these days. Can easily go from class to a job. Follow owners directions carefully, and make sure the pets have everything they need. Will follow directions explicitly. Company, food, water, walks, medication, and other requirements for said pets
“Liliana is an awesome sitter! She came through when I needed a last minute sitter to look after my three cats. She was extremely communicative while we were out and followed all instructions clearly which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call on Liliana when we need a sitter in the future.”
“Sofia was extremely conscientious and communicative with us, while she looked after our cat and fish while we were on an extended trip. Our cat is a senior kitty and needs a fair bit of TLC and Sofia was wonderful with him, engaging him with his favorite toys and making sure his prescription food needs were met. Everything was cleaned and neatly put away when we came home, and that we appreciated as well. We highly recommend Sofia and will definitely be booking her for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Garrett was thorough and responsive when taking care of Pecan (shorthair brown tabby) and communicating with me. From working with other pet sitters, I learned I need someone who appreciates the individual quirks of cats, and Garrett seems to do exactly that. I will definitely leave my Peekster in his capable hands next time I'm away.”
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and breeds since I was a kid. I grew up with always at least 1 dog (usually 2) and 2 cats. I have watched pets for neighbors, friends and family consistently throughout the years and have been relied upon to walk, feed, pet and play with their pets. I am also a fur mom for my sweet 9-year old kitten, Pancakes and my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Stella. I take time to make other pets comfortable and give them not only the basic needs but companionship and playtime that is just as important! I am currently taking time away from the corporate world and have lots of time to take care of pets! I’m flexible for daytime and evening visits. I will always take great care to make sure that pets are safe while under my care. When walking I’ll always be sure dogs are leashed and when at home I’ll make sure windows & doors are closed.
About: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.
About: Dogs were one of the first things I learned to love as a kid. I helped care for my family dog growing up, and then adopted a dog of my own after graduating high school. She was my rock. I took care of her all the way then through an aggressive cancer diagnosis at the end. I’ve cared for end of life and senior dogs. I have just graduated from college and am currently job searching. In the meantime I am a substitute teacher and can make my own schedule day-to-day. On the days I am working, I am at school from 7:20 until 2:40 If I am sitting in your house I have total respect for your space and I want to leave without a trace of me left behind. We are neighbors, I’ll never disrespect your home. If I am overnight sitting, I prefer to stay in your home to save on gas costs. If you’re located in Hampton, then I don’t mind the short drive.
“Felicia is an attentive, patient sitter. She took care of our 2 senior cats (18 & 19 yrs old) who have multiple health issues for nearly a week. She sent photos & updates on their status, moods, etc. We are so grateful & highly recommend Felicia!!”
“Samantha is a great pet sitter. The only opinion that really matters is the pet's, and he took to her immediately on the first visit. He's usually skittish and hides at first if he doesn't know someone, but there he was on the first visit, coming right up to say hello. From the human standpoint, Samantha is a kind person and professional. She shows up and spends time with your pet. Highly recommended!”
About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal. I grew up with family dogs my whole life. My dog, Ellie, is an amazing 13 year old lab-mix that we have had since she was 8 weeks old. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I am a stay at home mom with a lot of flexibility in my schedule. We are an active family that spend a lot of time outside and always have Ellie with us. I treat pets as another member of the family and ensure they are well cared for. I would love to help with all of your furry friends needs! I am currently a stay at home mom with lots of flexibility in my schedule. I would have the ability to care for your dog multiple times in a day if needed. I am happy to provide any care that your dog needs. I am unable to take dogs in to my home at this time but happy to pick your dog up for walks and adventures or care for them in your house.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’m mainly experienced in caring for cats and dogs, but also farm animals and smaller pets like gerbils. I’m hoping to make this a full time job as I love being with animals. My schedule is wide open to meet all your pets needs. My spacious home is in a quiet suburban neighborhood with an open field just down the road. I have 2 friendly cats, however visiting pets could be separated as needed.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Exeter is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Exeter
We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She was reliable, caring, and attentive to our cat’s needs. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again!
This is the second time Erica cared for our two cats while we were on vacation. She is fabulous, dependable, kind and the cats love her. She gave our cat his medicine properly and did everything she said she would, arriving as expected each time. We trust Erica 100% and are thankful for her great care and trustworthiness!
Julia watched our two Maine Coon brothers Marco & Polo for an extended 4 day weekend away. I could tell right away from our meet & greet that our boys took to her immediately and would be excited and happy to see her during her drop-ins. Our boys are friendly already, but even the more aloof and cautions brother, who generally takes a little time to warm up to new faces, treated her as family from day one. She provided check-in and out notifications and detailed status reports - including lots of pictures - of each visit. These are exactly what a caring pet parent wants to see, not only to know your babies are in good hands, but to take the edge off of missing them while you're away :) One of our boys takes medications, and they both need fiber & water added to their diet, so the feeding routine is slightly more complicated than is typical, and Julia had all of their needs met. She responds to any questions/comments immediately. I can't recommend Julia enough for your own babies, and any time we need services in the future, Julia will absolutely be the one we trust to keep our boys happy and healthy.
This was our first time using Rover and having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, and Andy made the whole experience so easy! One of our dogs can be a little tentative with new people, but he loved Andy immediately, which made us feel so comfortable. Andy took great care of both of them, and we’ll absolutely be using him again. Highly recommend!
Courtney was such a big help when we booked with her last minute for drop-ins all week with our two dogs. She made sure the visits were spaced out appropriately, gave the dogs plenty of time to get outside and carry on as normally as possible while we were gone! Will definitely be rebooking with Courtney in the future!
Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!
I made a last minute booking request on a Saturday evening for an appointment on Sunday evening. Peter replied promptly and agreed to meet the next morning. Peter was on time and had a good rapport with my dog. We confirmed the appointment and on Sunday evening he sent us update detailjng how the visit went. We are very happy with their first Rover experience. Thank you, Peter.

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
