“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael. He was incredibly conscientious in our home and followed all of our instructions to a T. Our two dogs can be anxious when left alone and require a detailed routine, and Michael was great about following our protocol exactly, which we really appreciated. He kept in regular contact, sending daily updates and photos, which helped us feel at ease while we were away. On top of that, he went above and beyond by even stripping the bed before leaving. Michael was kind, reliable, and clearly great with dogs—we feel so lucky to have found him and would absolutely book him again!”
“Amanda was so sweet and caring with our fur babies. Communication was excellent, lots of photos sent to us of our puppies so we knew they were being well taken care of. She went above and beyond even with it being Thanksgiving! ?”
“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”
“Jerrod was fantastic. Took great care of our pup while we were out of town! We were worried about leaving the pup alone for the first time but everything went smoothly! He sent lots of pics and kept us updated. Chewie had a great time with him! Thank you so much!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, from daily walks to long term pet sitting. I have looked after multiple cats at once and have consistently walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to large breeds. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and I take pride in giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I work a full time 9-5 but am available before and after work as well as during lunch, since I mostly work at home. I am also available some weekends. I am responsible and great at following any directions that pertain to specific food the pet is restricted to take or any rules regarding taking them outside or if they can engage with other pets.
“We had such a great experience with Melody! From start to finish, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. She took amazing care of our dog Franklin and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Franklin absolutely adored her — we could tell he was happy and well-loved while in her care. She even went above and beyond by taking care of little things around the house, like grabbing packages and washing the sheets before leaving. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible pet sitter!”
“Fern was amazing! First rover i’ve ever gotten that i would book to sit twice. I have been burnt before in the past sadly but Fern sent so many photos and was so communicative and went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend her for your pet sitting needs! The cats loved her.”
“Gavin did an incredible job updating us every day with photos of our golden girl! Excellent sitter, 100% recommend for your future home sitting and pet sitting needs.”
“We did a little one night test run with Teresa for our pup who has pretty bad separation anxiety and it went so well! Our very excitable pup was instantly calm upon meeting Teresa for the first time and settled in so well. Teresa is super communicative and we felt totally comfortable having her stay in our home. We’re so glad to have found a reliable sitter!”
“Tati is an amazing person and wonderful with dogs. Our boxer, Guinness, immediately took to her and made a new friend with her Sage. Having Tati stay with Guinness overnight allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. We're very grateful for her help and hope to have for Guinness in the future. Highly recommend! Thank you Tati! 🐶♥️”
“Kristen is an absolute professional great with the pups and an amazing communicator along with being flexible with unexpected schedule changes. Need I say more? Book her! :)”
“Carlie was a wonderful sitter for our dog and house while we had to take a last minute work trip and then again the next week when we left on our planned vacation. She sent photos every day and the house was spotless when we returned. We will not hesitate to hire her back to watch our pup the next time we need to go out of town.”
“James was amazing! He went above and beyond and his son taught us a new trick, that we have been working on with our pup! Would absolutely have James watch our pup in the future!”
“Phoebe was fantastic watching Steve, she’s super respectful and kind. 11/10 would rebook again. We also got hung up in traffic and she was very understanding. Definitely the kind of person that will go above and beyond.”
About: I’ve always had experience with cats and dogs; I specialize in longer walks, which some may constitute as hikes! My dog is a bit too small and old for hikes but I would love to help other dogs get that energy out in a beneficial way. I have experience with senior dogs, and some puppy experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am a college student focusing on my education which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to take care of pets! I can crate dogs if that is a preference although I am very open to just spending time sitting or playing with them as well!
About: My brother owns a pet sitting/ training/ boarding company in CT and I’ve been active with him since he opened 10 years ago. I have now moved to NH and want to continue caring for animals. I am a passionate, caring, responsible pet caretaker and can not wait to meet your animals! I have an extremely flexible schedule. When you need me... I’ll make it work! I work from home and can create my own schedule- just ask! I will make sure your pup is comfortable and happy. I’ll also make sure you are too! I’ll send lots of updates and plenty of videos/ pictures.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have also grown and had almost every household pet you can think of! I live in Portsmouth NH. I work from home 3 out of 5 days but can be very flexible about not going into the office. I have my own vehicle and am able to do drop ins during the day! I typically spend at least 30 minutes to an hour for drops. This would consist of letting your dog outside when I get there/ walking them. Then feeding them their meals and making sure they get to go back outside before I leave. I do not let dogs play 30 minutes before or after they eat just to be safe. Of If I am spending the night with your pet, I am more than happy to hang out at your house and watch a movie with your fur babies!
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to help care for your pets like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week and am looking to offer pet care on the side, especially evenings and weekends. I’ve cared for neighbors’ pets, my sister’s dog, and homes for extended periods. I’m reliable, easygoing, and great at communicating, which I know is key when trusting someone with your furry family. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to help. I also offer light house sitting duties if needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can support you! I am unable to care for pets in my own home but safety, trust, and environment is super important to me! I will always follow instructions and will always respect the house rules and guidelines provided. I work full-time during the week, but I’m usually available in the afternoons/evenings after 5 and on weekends. I’m using Rover as a fun side gig because I genuinely love animals and want to spend more of my free time with them! I’ll make sure your pet still gets the time, care, and attention they need. I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I’ve watched family pets, house sat for neighbors, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine whether that includes crate time, meds, or snuggles and keep you updated with plenty of photos!

We recently had the pleasure of having Kate care for our dog Rocky while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Rocky requires daily medication and a bit of extra attention, and Kate handled everything with such care and professionalism. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you again, Kate!
Carlie did an excellent job watching and caring for Rosie while I was out of town! She was very responsive, provided many updates/photos, well organized, and has a true talent for ensuring your pets are in good hands! I have will definitely be reaching out to her for future needs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and great pet sitter!

Our high maintenance, teething puppy in crazy stage was no challenge for Mike- He is so calm and tuned into the dog’s needs and he frequently texted us with updates so we weren’t worried if Big Papi would overwhelm him. We feel like everything went better than expected.
Teresa cared for our two pups (miniature Schnauzer 14 yrs and German Short Haired Pointer 5yrs, quite the duo), and did an amazing job! We cannot thank her and recommend her enough. On the morning we were leaving, the GSP got skunked…I did all the skunk smell removal things I could do before having to leave to be able to catch our flight and almost didn’t go on our trip, but Teresa was fantastic! She helped us get Mali on a Dogg Bus to the groomer for skunk treatment, and dealt with the lingering skunk smell during our stay. Both girls were well loved and cared for while we were away!
It was our first time leaving our pets for an overnight. We were very scepticale and anxious about leaving them. We are crazy pet parents with high expectations . James blew our expectations out of the water and made the entire process stress free! Great man and even greater to our pets. He did everything that was asked and went above and beyond to make sure not only our animals but we ourselves felt at ease and stress free. Great communication skills and was willing to accommodate all requests we asked of him. Incredible sitter and we will be rebooking anytime we have an event.
Left our BIG dog, 2 cats and chickens alone with Adelle while we were on a week long vacation. It has been a long time since we left the animals, and we were nervous about leaving them alone for that long. Adelle was great, all of the animals loved her. She sent updates and pictures and kept the house clean. We would definitely recommend, and we will be using her again.
