“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!”
“Absolutely delighted with James’ calm, reliable and kind care for a kitty who can register as a bit resentful over having been left behind. He has been unphased by Roxanne’s cool reception, and, after three visits, has earned her (and my) high regard and sincere trust. Grateful for James’ resourcefulness and respect for Roxanne’s deceptively independent spirit - she (and I) appreciate that he treats her as a kitty who deserves the very best care. Highly, highly recommend this talented cat-whisperer!”
“Teresa was great and we felt so comfortable leaving out cats in her care! Tereza clearly has a love for cats and all pets. She was on time, played, fed, and cleaned up after them. We will be rebooking in the future for sure!”
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.
About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals, both my own and other people’s. I currently have two huskies and two cats, but my experience goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, fish, small animals, and other exotic pets. I have previous pet sitting and dog walking experience, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, cared for senior animals, and administered medications to both dogs and cats. I’m especially happy to help with multi-pet households, including families with several different types of animals. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to accommodate recurring walks, drop-in visits, and vacation care when my schedule allows. I also offer boarding, daycare, and occasional house sitting on a more selective basis. Feel free to reach out with your dates and what you’re looking for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are in good hands while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced-in yard, two huskies, two cats, and plenty of indoor space. For boarding and daycare, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate areas available when needed and take introductions seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and careful to follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and any household routines.
“Daniel was awesome and my dog Dakota was excited to see him. He checked in with me and gave me updates on his stay with Dakota and was on time for everything. Will be booking next time I am away.”
“Lydia has been pet sitting for us for nearly a year and she is wonderful, could not recommend her more! She’s great with all our pets who have varying medical needs and even our shy nervous cat loves when she comes by.”
“Laurie was wonderful! We booked her for a few days worth of drop-in visits with our 1 year old dog Luna (40-lb border collie mix). We've only had Luna for 4 months (rescue) and she is incredibly timid and loud around strangers in the house. We were worried going into the weekend that we might even have to cancel our trip because Luna has been unmanageable by just about everyone we've tried to get to walk her. And even with us, on walks she is easily distracted and will try to chase everything from squirrels to grasshoppers. It can be a challenge for non-family to even get close enough to get a leash on her. Laurie was so kind and patient with Luna, and spent so much time with her to gain her trust. She proved fully capable of leashing Luna and bringing her on long walks. We will definitely be booking Laurie again! (provided she would be willing!)”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog Bean (named after bean from the tv show Even Stevens because of my last name!) for almost 10 years. She has chronic medical issues that require daily medication. She’s also been dog reactive her whole life which has given me an entire new way of thinking when we’re on walks. If you’re concerned about your dog’s reactivity or size, don’t be! I’ve experienced it for 9 years and am able to accommodate to whatever they need. I currently work full-time from home, but have very good flexibility with my schedule. Meaning I can pretty much accommodate any schedule you might need. I’d treat your pets just like one of my own. My dog isn’t a dog, she’s like a child to me. She actually gets shredded deli meat with her meals or else she won’t eat it! They’d be spoiled just like my own.
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”
“Arlo & Loki had a great introduction with Krystyna. She was awesome with our excited pups. We are feeling confident going away knowing the boys are in great hands! Thank you! Tim & Colleen”
“Jennifer was so great with our two dogs. Super responsive, sent us phone updates and very easy to work with. She has earned our trust for sure and I know our dogs will be happy to see her again”
About: I’m a single Nana no current pets I miss the puppy snuggles and kisses . I have had to pill my dog kids in the past so I’m familiar with that as well I work full time 8-4 . Work is in Manchester Nh home is in Hampton Nh My weekends are free. I wake early and stay up late . I’m able to offer potty breaks and mid day local check-ins . I enjoy walking dogs on leash around the block or in your yard . If they enjoy fetch or belly rubs I can handle that too .
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have my own fur baby and I know how important exercise is. My dog is my life, and I will treat yours with the same care! I work from home with flexible hours, and love to get out side for my lunch breaks as much as possible! I am having my first (human) baby in July and will be on maternity for 4 months. I want to stay active and walk as much as I can! Clients home would be best for pet care, walking in your neighborhood or letting dogs out to play and use the bathroom in your yard!
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.
“Chelsea was wonderful!! I booked her for 4 day Holiday weekend. She visited us a week before our trip and met my dog and went over everything, I felt comfortable with her right away. She came twice a day and sent photos of the visits. Communication was great! Will use her again!!!”
“Yujie was amazing with my two dogs. He was incredibly helpful and always responded very quickly, even last minute. His communication was excellent, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell right away that he is kind, patient, and truly cares about the animals he takes care of. I will absolutely continue to use Yujie for my dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate animal care.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Exeter is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,613 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Exeter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Exeter. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
