“Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.”
“Attentive, kind, and so loving to my boys! Tessa was always on time and sent lots of pictures that showed how much fun they were having at her visits. Having two larger dogs means I'm very selective with who I trust with them and I would definitely reccomend Tessa and look forward to having her watch my boys again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. Working in veterinary medicine has helped me stay calm, attentive and detail-oriented in fast-paced situations, while also teaching me how important patience and compassion are when caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved and stress-free while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of professional animal care experience, reliability, and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. On walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and positive interaction while paying close attention to each dog’s pace and needs. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”
“Mackenzie is amazing! She is super communicative, flexible, and reliable. I have two Great Danes (one is a puppy) and I feel great knowing my dogs are in excellent care with her. I am lucky to have found her :) THANK YOU!”
“Grace took great care of our 2 cats over a two week period. We felt at ease knowing they were being taken care of and getting such great attention and care. Will definitely have Grace help out again in the future.”
“Georgia saved us when we needed a last minute sitter after our previously booked sitter cancelled morning of. She was quick to respond and was able to get to our house with only 1.5 hours notice. It seemed like our puppy had a good time with her and was well cared for during the hour drop in. Definitely will book again!”
“Megan is amazing! Silas is a high energy guy and she handled him beautifully. I especially liked her communication with me and felt very comfortable having her come into my home to take care of Silas.”
About: Motivated and dependable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Since 8th grade, I have been volunteering at the NHSPCA, where I regularly played with, exercised, and socialized dogs to support their enrichment and comfort. I also grew up in a dog-loving household and have always had pets, including dachshunds, golden, and currently a lab and a Great Pyrenees mix rescue dogs. Through these, I am skilled in dog walking, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing attentive companionship to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Known for strong communication, punctuality, and attention to detail when following care instructions. Experience balancing a busy schedule as a full-time college student while maintaining responsibility-focused roles such as gym supervisor and tutor has strengthened time management and reliability. Passionate about building trust with both pets and their owners and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a busy but well-organized college student, I primarily offer availability on weekends and Friday nights since I do not go out. During these times, I can provide focused, reliable care including walks, drop-ins, and possibly overnight sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and timely care. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I would carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules while respecting the space. I keep pets supervised, maintain clean food and water areas, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free!
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for the past 8 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines and instructions so pets stay happy and comfortable. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and following detailed care instructions. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience and kindness. Pet care fits well into my routine and I have flexible availability. I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the day depending on the pet’s needs. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication routines if needed. I take safety and routine seriously when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, and house rules. I make sure pets feel comfortable and keep a calm environment while they’re in my care. I also provide updates so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.
“It was so nice meeting Alicia! Our cats were in great hands while we were away. She sent us regular updates so we never had to worry how they were doing. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Carse was great with my two boys, even getting my shy guy out and rolling around on his back for belly rubs by the second visit. She was great and I’ll definitly re-book with her.”
“Emily is just GREAT! She is always on time. Communicates effectively and really shows immense interest in my dog Scooby. She always writes a lengthy honest review about their journey together. I look forward to hiring her more in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Exeter
Emily has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Howie. She is always timely, responsible, and incredibly thoughtful. Not only does she take such great care of Howie (who absolutely loves her), but she also goes above and beyond every visit. She cleans up his toys and somehow leaves the house looking even better than when she arrived. One thing I really appreciate is her communication. she always sends detailed updates after each drop-in so I know exactly how Howie is doing and if there’s anything I should know. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Emily is reliable, caring, professional, and truly treats your pet and home with respect. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. 10/10, 5 stars all the way!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Exeter stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Exeter choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Exeter with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
