1. Anna D.
“Definitely want to book Anna again! My little orange old lady cat was very well taken care of. Traveling when you have a senior animal is stressful, but Anna was thorough and Marmalade obviously liked her!”
2. Matt L.
“Matt was great! Very communicative and would recommend!”
3. Alexandria N.
“When me and my bf were out of town, Lexi did an amazing job with caring for our kitty! She made sure to let him warm up to her on his terms and didn't force him to come out of hiding. With some patience, he eventually came out and loved her! She made sure to keep him entertained with his flirt wands, gave him lots of scratchies, brushed him, and eventually earned the right to hold him. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your pets.”
4. Rowyn P.
“We adopted Penny in July 2020. She was a fearful shelter dog, about a year old. Rowyn befriended her and gained her trust right away. Rowyn was the main person to walk her and play with her for the past year (besides family members). When we went out of town recently, Rowyn came and stayed in our house with Penny, who was SO happy! We have found Rowyn to be completely reliable and trustworthy. Our dog adores Rowyn, whether going for walks or just hanging out together. Highly recommended!”
5. Heather V.
“We highly recommend Heather to watch after your pets; our cats were instantly comfortable around her and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond with communication and patience when there was a mishap with the key. We definitely will be booking Heather again in the future!”
6. Kelli E.
“Kellie is wonderful!! I was so nervous to leave my pets for the weekend but she kept them extremely happy. Her check-ins were always on time, she gave our guys lots of time, and communicated and sent pictures through the whole experience. We will definitely re-book Kelli for our next pet- sitting needs.”

About: At my home, we love our puppers and yours too! I have years of experience taking care of my own dogs at home from playtime, to potty, to feeding and walks. My dogs are treated like family and you can expect the same for yours. All walks, treats and belly rubs are given with love. 💕 I can be flexible. Daytime care Is located at my place of business in Northampton. Drops offs and pickups are also done in Northampton but overnight stays I bring the pups to my home in Springfield. If your coming to my home, I do have 2 male pups,1 years old. They are loving and friendly, and of course, fully vaccinated! I also have 3 children from age 5-13 but they're not always home at the same time so the house is never too wild. Our yard is spacious and fenced, so running and playing will always be an option. Between 10a and 5pm we mostly play inside with frequent short walks outside. After 5pm pups are able to run around outside in my fenced yard at home or we can take a good long walk.
8. Charlotte C.
“Charlotte is an incredibly reliable, skilled, and kind dog owner/handler. Watching her with her own pup is so sweet, and I have never hesitated to ask her first to watch my dogs. She can handle big and energetic dogs with confidence, and has lots of experience working with dogs of various temperaments through her volunteering in rescue work. She knows when to break out the treats too! Again, Charlotte is a very reliable and trustworthy person!”
9. Eliza M.
“Eliza took excellent care of my dog Romeo. She was easy to schedule and communicate with. She clearly spent time with Romeo and got to know him.”
10. Sarah G.
“We have worked with Sarah a good handful of times & have only positive feedback. She is responsible, timely, communicative, and an all around lovely person. Our pup is lucky to spend time with her & we are so lucky to have found her. I recommend Sarah, wholeheartedly.”
11. Ramsay S.
“Ramsay is always dependable - even in a pinch. She’s a great communicator and always comfortable advocating for what she is and isn’t able to accommodate.”
12. Tracy C.
“I've known Tracy and her various dogs for about 20 years. Throughout the years, we've regularly hiked our dogs together on a weekly basis. Seeing Tracy with her own dog, as well as seeing her interact with my dog, and other dogs/owners that we might run into on various hiking trails and walks, I can say that Tracy is an amazing dog-person! She's caring, compassionate, alert, and responsible with her furry friends. She goes out of her way to make sure her dog gets plenty of exercise and play time with other dogs, and she always has a wealth of love to share with not just her own dog, but with any dog she meets. I wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with the care of my sweet pup.”
13. Erin B.
“Erin came through for us last minute after a previously booked sitter canceled the day before our scheduled vacation. She did a great job keeping us up to date during our trip. She took great care of the cats and our cuddly cat got lots of love!”
14. Emily H.
About: Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog as well as my own granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered! I work a remote job with flex time based in another time zone, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. Having used Rover for my own cat’s care, I know it can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities, and I ensure a secure, loving environment while respecting your home. Expect thorough updates and thorough documentation!
15. Iví E.
“Ivi was wonderful! She had a natural ability to connect with my shy and timid pup and was willing to learn how to address her complex medical needs. I would be very comfortable leaving Josie in her care again.”
16. Molly E.
“Molly was wonderful! She was very patient with my shy pup and took the time to gain her trust. She updated me after the walk with a detailed message and photos. I will definitely book with Molly again!”
17. Bena W.
“Hello. This is our third time having Bena care for our elder cat. He loves her. She is very caring and kind and professional. We will be seeing her again.”
18. Sailor C.
“Sailor did a great job giving my cat his medications and giving both cats some time outside on the deck. Sailor kept good communication, sent alot of pictures. They did everything I asked of them.”
19. Andy R.
“Andy Rhodes will be an outstanding dog sitter and employee of Rover because he provides excellent and attentive care to both pets and pet owners. Andy took care of my dog for 1 week and went above and beyond to not only make sure that her basic needs were met but also that she had as much attention and companionship as usual. Andy was very communicative and made sure to update me on how my dog was doing throughout the week. When I had questions or concerns he answered promptly and warmly! I highly recommend Andy as a loving dog caregiver and responsible individual.”
20. Sharene K.
“Sharene is a kind, patient and caring sitter who understood the needs of my sometimes-temperamental cat and made sure to operate on his terms. She’s communicative and thorough, and at no point during my trip did I worry about what was happening at home. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
