“Elizabeth was a life saver! She did such an amazing job with our dog who can be a bit of a handful! Very professional and cared for Stella like she was her own, I was really nervous leaving her with someone new for the first time and Elizabeth put our minds at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“This was my second time booking with Alissa and she was just as great the this time around. One of my kitties had an accident, and Alissa helped clean up and kept me updated throughout her drop-in on how my cat was doing. She’s very reliable and definitely my new go-to for watching my cats!”
About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I specialize in providing care for little fuzzy friends including: rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I am well-versed in the special diets, behaviors, and needs of small animals. I understand that leaving small, particularly sensitive pets at home can be daunting. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident leaving them in my care. I having experience administering medication and recognizing emergency medical needs. I also have lots of experience with dogs and some experience with cats as well. I have an affection for senior animals and would love to help care for them! I have owned rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and dogs and have cared for them all through their advanced years. I work full time but can stop by before 8:00am and after 4:00pm during the week (I have more flexibility on Mondays and Fridays). I am in town most weekends and would love to spend time with your pets! Having a stranger in your home while you are away can be scary! I promise to be respectful, responsible, and professional while in your space. I am also a landscape architect and am happy to water any plants when I visit!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12! I help my neighbors, family, and friends whenever I can. I love all animals :) I have 4 cats of my own! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday 10:30am to 7pm! I have plenty of time in the morning before work for pet care and after work. I'm not able to host pets at my home, but I bring the same level of care and attention directly to yours. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the snuggles your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing! :)
“Amaya is consistent with her check-ins and patient with my cat who needs time to warm up to a new people. I’ve rebooked with Amaya a few times because I’m confident in the care she gives and her reliability gives me peace of mind.”
“I appreciated having Fanny as my first pet sitter experience on Rover so much! She was not only amazing with my cats (one of whom is very hesitant with new people), she also helped me understand the booking on the app and was very flexible when my vacation times changed. Would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Louisa was friendly, prompt and communicative. My pups were well taken care of and I was stress-free. I'd absolutely use Louisa again for future trips.”
About: I've been caring for animals for years, both through personal experience and by helping family members. I currently have a cat of my own and previously cared for my family's beloved dog throughout his entire 14-year life, giving me experience with every stage from playful puppyhood to senior care. I'm also the only sitter my sister trusts to care for her three dogs, so I'm comfortable managing multiple pets at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and I'm always willing to learn more about a pet's individual needs and temperaments. I think being with pets allows me to be more active, especially when I'm in the coursework mindset. Sometimes my day has a lull in it, but having a pet means that there is a part of my routine that must stay somewhat similar and active. I never mix boarding bookings from different families. I exclusively host one household's pet(s) at a time, ensuring a calmer, safer, and more personalized experience. If your family has multiple dogs or cats, they're always welcome to stay together! Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to match their personality, making sure to keep an eye on their behavior, respect their boundaries, and provide safe, engaging play when they want it.
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Mandi and delighted she was able to take our booking. Mandi came for a meet-and-greet in advance of the booking to review details and get acquainted with our home, our cat, and his care. He was much more relaxed and comfortable when we returned than when we've picked him up from boarding in the past; at his advanced age, that means so much! We're looking forward to our next booking with Mandi!”
“I reached out to Nicole last minute on a Saturday night looking for someone to watch my dog Finley since I was in town visiting. She responded instantly and Finley was so excited to go over there. He got along well with her dog and came home happy and ready to snuggle. Finley says “4/4 Paws! Would visit again””
“Annalise did a great job taking care of my cat Gus! She was consistent in the time she came to feed him and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a house who always had some type of animal and learned how to love on them and give them the attention they need. I am currently at home and have a lot of time on my hands. I’m very flexible and cooperative with my schedule and willing to give any animal love and support. I have an invisible fence for my two dogs. One of my dogs has a crate he sleeps in and the other sleeps in whatever bed she wants that night.
About: I have owned an animal since I was a kid. I have had 3 dogs Have done dog sitting for my neighbors and dog walking. I have also volunteered at the humane society and worked at Cherokee kennels. I love animals when I got my dogs they were scared and they became my shadows I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kitties. After work and on weekends. I play with and feed and walk my dog and give cuddles I also walk and give treats and pets to my neighbors dog almost daily.
About: I’ve been caring for my own cats since I was in 3rd grade, learning the importance of caring for them in many aspects through feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, and respecting their needs of play time vs needing space. I started caring for my friends animals in college and that’s when I learned more about dogs and how to tell what dogs are friendly, when they need space, etc. Respecting animals and giving them the love and care they deserve is of utmost importance to me. I have a fairly flexible job, so I’m able to fit in visits almost any time of day. The only day I’m not flexible is Sunday, I work a mandatory 12 hour, so could stop in after my shift but not before or during. Respecting people’s space and privacy is important to me, if I’m walking your dog and caring for your cats, you can trust me to do the job at hand and leave your space in one piece. Keeping a clean home is important to me, so you can rest assured that if your pet makes a little mess, it will be cleaned up for you and you’ll never know it happened.
About: I’ve worked/volunteered at the Humane Society for two years. I’ve watched friends dogs since I was 12 years old. Love to take dogs on walks, to the dog parks and just spend time with them. I have 2 dogs already at home so I can only watch your pets at your house. I currently work full time so pretty much work around my full time job. I’m more available in the afternoons, there are some days that i can do mornings. I treat them like my own with all the tender love and care they need. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs love to play in.

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.
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 Fitchburg 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.

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 .
