“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”
“Jisselle took wonderful care of my cat! He loved her and jumped right into her arms when he met her. She was punctual, communicated well and often, and she followed the specialized instructions. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Maricruz kindly stepped in to cover a day caring for our cats while we were gone! She communicated openly, was careful to follow what I’d asked, and she got one of our shy cats to come out and say hi 🙂 Thank you Maricruz!”
“Haylee did a great job with my kitties! They were happy and healthy when I got back! She was very responsive and notified me of any issues (i.e., my door lock not working) as soon as they came up. Thank you so much!”
“Cindy and her partner were great with my little ones Asha and Itachi! played and took care of them very well and we're very prompt in their responses. They even got my little shy one out and comfortable. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has cats and needs the help. I will definitely be rebooking them in the future.”
“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”
“Maia was communicative and dependable, and sent us photos of Oona playing! She asked all the right questions and did a fabulous job taking care of our sweet kitty! 😻”
About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!
About: Use ALEXIS45107 for $20 off your first booking. Having two dogs of my own (a senior & a three-year-old) & a deaf kitty, taking care of and loving animals is my entire life. I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends for animal care because it is a responsibility I do not take lightly. Being someone who finds it hard to trust just anyone with my babies, I know the level of care that is required so that you can truly enjoy your time away. I am extremely detail-oriented, so rest assured I will make sure any instructions are followed perfectly, no matter the length. I’m also happy to provide as much or as little communication as you would like while you are traveling. I’m so looking forward to spoiling any new buddies that come my way! I do work four days a week for eight hours but I am will be available full-time the remaining three days. I am available for boarding, pet/housesitting, dog walking & drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard along with two crates of different sizes if needed. Also more than happy to provide care within your home if that makes everyone more comfortable.
“Andrew was super attentive, always showed up right on time, and took great care of our babies! He followed all directions for our pets' dietary needs and left us with great updates and photos. Will use again!”
“We are so grateful for Megan! She is so amazing with our dog. The most important thing is that she loves our dog, which she absolutely does, but she also goes out of her way to make the experience great for the humans. She always sends updates and pictures and lets us feel comfortable knowing our girl is being taken care of when we can’t take her with us. Thank you so much, Megan!!”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Vanessa came in a saved the day. She followed our instructions to the letter and she sent photos of our little guy, which put our minds at ease. Vanessa is a caring, pet lover whom we've trust completely. Her customer service is top notch and she's a pleasure to interact with. We'll continue to use and recommend her to others as long as she's associated with Rover.😺”
“Jana was great with taking care of our cat for over three weeks on our recent trip away from home. She was punctual in her daily visits, spent close to an hour with him daily, and our cat accepted and befriended her easily despite being shy with strangers. Jana provided us with daily reports and spent us fantastic pictures of our cat on a regular basis. We felt reassured that our cat was well taken care of. Jana also watered our outdoor plants for us. We will not hesitate to have Jana take care of our cat again in the future.”
“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”
“Tiana was wonderful, fulfilling a last minute request. She was communicative and flexible, and gave my at-first shy pup space to warm up. Very appreciative of her help!”
Fitchburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tinwa did a great job chicken sitting for us! He and his partner came over and took care of our flock, and they were very good at taking plenty of pictures and keeping us updated on how the chickens were doing. They filled their food, cleaned their water and laying area, and made sure they were all in the coop after some free-ranging time. I would absolutely hire them again!
Maricruz did an incredible job checking in on my furbaby. She was so gentle, sweet, and clearly cared a lot about making sure my “Buddy” was comfortable and well looked after. He is 15 years old so I get really nervous leaving him but her communication was fantastic, and the updates made me feel so reassured. I’m very grateful for the care she gave and would happily trust her again. Buddy seconds that! :)
Becca is a true delight to work with. She is responsible, organized, communicative, and seems to truly enjoy caring for our cats. She took some of the best pictures we’ve ever had of our cats, gave us fun and entertaining updates, and took great care of our boys. We can’t begin to thank her enough for her great work, would absolutely book again.
Kayla is truly the BEST and we feel so lucky we found her 🥹✨ From our very first meet & greet, we knew she was special — she literally showed up with a notebook and asked the most thoughtful questions about our dogs, routines, preferences, and care. That level of preparation and attention immediately put us at ease. She gives total Disney princess energy. So gentle, calm, kind, and clearly such an animal person. Both of our small, anxious rescue pups absolutely adore her (which says everything because they can be pretty selective with people!). She made them feel safe right away and has been incredibly patient and attentive with them. She’s also an amazing communicator — proactive, responsive, thoughtful updates, and just generally someone who makes you feel like your pets are in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Kayla and genuinely can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies 🤍
Sarah is reliable, flexible and so sweet. My cat is a senior cat who is very attached to me but Sarah takes great care of her and is mindful of the extra care she needs as an older cat. My cat took to her quickly as well, such a relief to travel and know she’s in great hands!
Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.
Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout each visit with lots of photos and thorough reports at the end of each visit. It was clear our cats were well cared for and comfortable with her while we were away. We’d definitely book with her again!
Diana was helpful and communicative and trustworthy with our little bunny, who was honestly pretty messy and required some extra / unexpected care because he got sick and needed medicine. Diana was very consistent with the updates and we loved having someone so local to provide for Janus.
We hired Daria to do drop-in service for our two rescue seniors. She has very calm and confident energy and quickly charmed our salty Chihuahua mix. We really appreciated her prompt communication and thoughtful questions/comments. We will definitely book Daria again for pet care!
