“Hayley was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. After we had already booked our time with her we had to make a significant change. She was very flexible kind Inc.. I think our pup had a great time with her. She’s a very nice young lady and we would definitely call her again for PetSitting..”

“She was amazing! House under construction, my schedule was chaos and i started my day at 6 am. She was flexible, able to handle construction workers and a dog in a bare bones house, and worked with me when i ended up being 4 hours late. Absolutely a repeat customer”
“Morgan was fantastic with my girl Jovi over the holidays! She was very accommodating about a few unexpected requests I had to make last minute, sent pics throughout her stay that showed Jovi was super comfortable & content with her, and left my place exactly as she found it. Will definitely rebook!”
“Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs over the weekend! She was very responsible, reliable, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”

“Brittany took great care of our special needs beagle Lulu. She was extremely responsive and clearly has a wealth of experience in taking care of dogs. She also left our house in perfect shape. Would highly recommend!”

“Britney came in a huge clutch when I needed someone to watch Milo at the very last second! Aside from a minor unexplainable eye injury, things went well. Britney left my space clean and Milo loved her!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals all my life and I couldn’t imagine any other type of life. I always love to learn something new and make sure I’m doing the best that I can to care for any animals under my supervision. I currently have a full-time job, but with families help there are always someone at the house to help with pet care. The longest they’ll be alone is maybe an hour to two hours in a days time. I always love to make sure to ask if they need any special requirements and to do check-in with the owner daily I always make sure the pets in my hair are comfortable and well cared for.
Fernwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was lovely to work with. Very communicative, lots of pictures. Spoiled my babies with love and they were so happy when I came home. Always a great feeling knowing they are well taken care of. She did little odds and ends like garbage and watering my lawn. It was a great experience and I would hire her again in a second!
Maria was great with our babies. She shared sweet pictures and was super communicative with us while we were gone. One of our girls can get really nervous when it’s stormy, and she did a great job working with her. We appreciated her patience and understanding. We would gladly use Maria again!
Jessica was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient With our great dane who is not sure of new people sometimes. Both are our dogs were calm and happy when we came back which shows what a great job jessica did. She Followed all the house and dog instructions and we would hire her again in future for our pups. She was a delight to work with.
Lina took care of my dog and cat for two weeks while I was away, and I’m very grateful for all her help. She was sweet, caring, communicative, and clearly gave my pets a lot of attention and love while I was gone. My dog can be a little anxious and high maintenance at times, and she was very patient with him throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my babies were safe and cared for. Thank you again, Lina 😊
Emily was amazing and took great care of my black lab mix, Sadie. Sadie is 5 YO - I’ve had her 1.5 years and I’m her 4th home, so that poor little girl has PTSD when it comes to meeting new people. Emilie got Sadie to warm up to her and I could tell from the pictures she sent that Sadie was very happy and well cared for — and she got her much loved walks!! Emily was also extremely respectful of my home and left it immaculate. I highly, highly recommend Emily!!!
Esther was wonderful for housesitting our pug, Willow. She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped calm the anxiety of worrying about how my dog was doing while I was gone. Willow had such a great time with Esther and you could tell she really trusted her and felt comfortable. I would absolutely book Esther again!
Reem was absolutely fantastic. She took wonderful care of our 3-year-old golden retriever, and he was happy and clearly well looked after when we returned. She also did an excellent job with our home, leaving everything in perfect order. Her communication throughout the stay was clear, consistent, and reassuring. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries, knowing everything was in great hands. Reem truly went above and beyond, and we would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Natalia took such good care of my babies, especially Xander who needed oral medicine every day! She sent me plenty of updates during my trip, allowing me to enjoy my time without worrying about them. And the cats looked healthy and happy when I got home! Will definitely rebook with her again.
