“Melissa is an exceptional pet sitter! I have two Chinchilla Persian kittens, who needed multiple visits a day over the span of eight days. She gave me daily updates and photos, so I could see how they were doing. We met with her beforehand to show her the ropes and to meet the kittens. I will only ever use Melissa. She is incredible and I trust her completely with their care. Thank you Melissa for putting our minds at ease, so we could have an incredible vacation. You're the best!”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our cat Bud while we went out of town for two nights. He warmed up to her quickly and seemed very comfortable from the many check in pics. She was responsive, flexible and went above and beyond by cleaning up after him when he made a mess. I would highly recommend her services! I usually impose on a friend when we go away so I’m thrilled to know I have another responsible person to call on who Bud likes and trusts. Thank you Elizabeth!”


“I am so grateful for Heather and how well she took care of my kitties. It was my first time leaving them with a non family member or friend and I’m an anxious cat mom but Heather put my worries to rest and did a great job accommodating each of my cats needs. She clearly communicated each day and took cute pictures of them that I cherished while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her :)”



“Jessica was a wonderful sitter for our cat Teddy! She came in every day, took cute pictures, and was very responsive whenever we texted her. Teddy loved having her in the house to see him while we were away. Absolutely will be booking again for our next trips!”


“Harry is always happy when he gets to spend time with Terry. Some visits he's super playful and other times he can be chill, but Terry totally understands him and knows what he needs. She definitely is a cat whisperer...Thank you!”


“Love love love this girl!! She has won Milo’s heart ❤️ Milo was rescued from the streets of New Haven CT and does not take to other people to well. Makaila was always in constant communication with me. She took pictures and videos and sent from each visit she had with Milo. I don’t have to worry when I need to travel. I highly recommend Makaila ❤️”


“I have two cats but one of them has special dietary needs and needs to be separated from the other during meal time. Nina took care of this and I'm very happy with her service.”


“Morgan did an amazing job checking in on my cat. I had to book very last minute, and she was so quick and responsive! Very pleased with her communication and care for my kitty. I highly recommend her to look after your pets!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life! Family and friends are always able to rely on me for care of their four legged friends! I have 2 years experience in a veterinary setting and have experience with pets of varying ages and sizes as well as with giving medications. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic but have extended lunch breaks, early morning availability, and evening times to provide care! I am also available full time on weekends! I currently have 4 adorable cats who have free range of the house, following scheduled feeding times, and receieve regular veterinary care. Surrounded by all the toys and treats they could imagine!

“Emma saved the day! I had a last minute trip out of town come up and Emma was able to do three drop in visits with my cats. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and even got my normally shy cat to come out for some love. I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a child and I love them all! I can’t wait to meet your fluffy companions! I do currently work full time for Starbucks so due to my schedule I’m only available on weekends but I can do some week days! If you need a week day specifically you can just ask me and I can tell you if that day works! We feed our corgi twice a day and she gets plenty of play time with me and my husband. She loves playing with our cat as well and we make sure she gets spoiled and I will spoil your dogs and cats the same way I spoil her!

“Julia is very kind and caring. She always sends updates and photos of our cat, and she's always been available for a visit before each booking.”


About: I’m a pet parent to two feisty seniors—Lola, my gorgeous 12-year-old corgi mix and an angel of a 14-year-old cat named Copley—so I have a soft spot (and a lot of experience) when it comes to senior care. I know how to be gentle, patient, and tuned in to the little things that keep older pets happy and comfortable. I also spent a year volunteering at a cat shelter where I learned to care for a wide range of temperaments and medical needs. I’m all about meeting pets where they’re at, whether that’s a slow stroll, a cuddle, a pun (haven't found a pet with this preference yet), or just sitting nearby with good vibes and treats. Because I do freelance work, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to dedicate focused, consistent time to pet care daily. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I can adjust my day to meet each pet’s unique needs and routine. I treat your home and pets’ space with respect and care, following all your instructions for feeding, walking, and medication. I maintain their usual routine to reduce stress and keep things familiar. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you’re away.

About: I was around dogs since I was a toddler. Friends and family have always trusted me to take care of their beloved pets while out of town. Eager to practice my puppies' training skills! And the last but not least, I show every pet the same level of care that they get from their own families. <3 My availability is pretty flexible and I would love to spend time on almost any day to take care of your lovely pets! I'll be with your furry friend full time and can take only one client at a time if needed. The property is on a private road and although it is not fenced in, I have two long overhead leash systems for dogs to run and enjoy the yard. :)

About: I am an extreme animal lover with years of unique experience. I currently have a two year old Labradoodle named Bear! I have worked at a vet office for four years where I was responsible for boarding, grooming, walking, general health, and feeding for dogs, cats, and birds. I also am an experienced dog trainer that has trained six dogs. One of those dogs became certified to be a therapy dog for children! Because of the pandemic I decided to extend my services! I know that it can be nervous feeling leaving your dog or cat with someone unfamiliar with them. Please be assured that your loved ones will be well taken care of and will be given the attention and care that you expect! Thank you very much!

“Veronica was fantastic! Had a meet and greet with my pups, so that they could get to know her, sent me photos, and kept me updated! Definitely recommend”

Meghan B.
“Meghan is both an exceptional pet owner who provides the best care possible for her pup and kitty, but she is also a highly responsible person who values animal welfare and happiness to the highest extent. I have seen firsthand the way she ensures that her animals are well cared for and feel extraordinarily loved. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for pet care shines through in her skills as an animal caretaker. I would trust Meghan anytime with my pets; in fact, she has pet sat my dog and my cat, and she made sure to provide plenty of updates and an open line of communication, which is vital when entrusting another person to take precious care of one's animals. She also speaks calmly and understands dog and cat behavior, and she has truly taken the time to educate herself so that she may provide the most comfortable and loving environment for the animal(s) she is overseeing care for. Meghan is exceptionally prepared for the unexpected--she knows the signs of an animal in distress and she has the ability to remain calm while addressing the situation in a careful and compassionate way. I cannot emphasize enough how truly responsible and thorough she is, and her passion for animals cements her status as an excellent caregiver.”

Nastia S.
Star Sitter

“Nastia has ben a petsitter for our dog Rocky on many occasions, and now that she is getting started on Rover, I want to offer my highest possible recommendation to other pet owners! Nastia is always quick to respond, flexible about times, and attentive to details. Rocky loves to stay with her, and I never worry about his health and happiness when he is with her. I am deeply grateful for the attention and care she showers on him. She is a true animal lover who has grown up with pets, and will make a great companion for yours.”


Jonathan P.
“I've known Jonathan for all of his life. He is a fine, trustworthy and completely honest young man. He has cared for my dogs (at that time, 4 greyhounds) when I was away, and his care was exemplary and done in the way I had specified. Jonathan is disciplined and focused on making his life count and to impact this world for good. He is an achiever who knows how to apply himself to the task at hand and accomplish the goals he has been assigned or he has set for himself. He is not afraid of hard work, and dedication is his trademark. Last but not least, Jonathan is a dog person who has owned and loved several dogs in his life so far. He will make a fine dog sitter on Rover.”

Groton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Leaving a pet at home when you’re traveling can be stressful, but not if you have Terry on the case! She’s reliable, consistent, communicative, and so loving to our cat.

Destiny did such an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. She is such a pleasure to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter honestly. Destiny was very communicative and my cat bonded to her faster than he has with any stranger. As long as she is available she has my business

She was very accommodating for my 2 finicky cats! She took the time to look for my shy cat in the house to feed him his treat and gave me clear notes and pictures each visit.

Nina took wonderful care of Kitty in our home. She is very communicative and flexible. We will definitely have her take care of Kitty on a regular basis.

Julia is very kind and caring. She always sends updates and photos of our cat, and she's always been available for a visit before each booking.

The drop in visits for my cats were greatly appreciated. Cayton reported issues with behavior when they came up, took pictures and all around took good care of the cats.

Zoe took great care of our cats! All 3 are happy and well cared for. We would definitely use Zoe again!

Emma saved the day! I had a last minute trip out of town come up and Emma was able to do three drop in visits with my cats. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and even got my normally shy cat to come out for some love. I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.
