“I can't say enough wonderful things about Christina. I have an elderly dog that has several needs and requires some special attention. Christina has been exceptional taking care of him and communicates often to help ease my concerns when I have to leave him. She's the best dog sitter you'll find!”
“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Taylor is a great pet sitter! I am a self proclaimed crazy pet parent and I get really nervous about leaving my pets with someone else. However, I didn’t worry at all when Taylor watched my dogs and cats. She took excellent care of them and they were happy all weekend! I will definitely be using Taylor again in the future.”
“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”
“Darina was great! She stayed in my home with my dog while I traveled over the holidays. She sent updates twice a day (morning and evening) with pictures and good descriptions of how everything was going. My dog seemed happy in the photos and also when I got home—he even went looking for her the next morning, haha! Darina was diligent about following our typical walking times, and her schedule was perfect to spend lots of time with him too outside of that. She was also tidy and respectful of the space, and she was very thoughtful in cleaning up after her stay.”
“Excellent job at taking care of banjo while we were away on an extended trip. Definitely left me able to focus on our relaxing knowing our special boy was taken care of”
“Sarah was so friendly (also really funny) and flexible/adaptable to our cat’s needs while we were on vacation. Our one cat was being a little trouble maker and Sarah helped keep our minds at ease, and also helped us manage the trouble our cat was causing. Our trip would’ve been a total disaster without her!”
“Chelsea is great! Provided lots of pictures, video, and updates and took excellent care of our baby (again)! Highly recommend Chelsea and so glad we found her on Rover! Definitely plan to ask Chelsea to dog sit again in the future!”
“Stefan is amazing! He sent numerous pictures of August and is incredibly responsive to any questions we might have. He is a lovely and responsible dog sitter and we will definitely have him sit for August again.”

“Carmen was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a tee! As our dog has heart failure and needs special care, we are always hesitant to leave him behind but we felt safe leaving him with Carmen. She was respectful of our home and was very kind. We would definitely book her for future sittings.”
“Leah did a great job watching Birdie and taking care of our house while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept house, and we would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Cayla was fantastic with our pup Oatmeal! We were nervous leaving him for a longer time for the first time and felt so at ease knowing Cayla was there. She was very quick to respond and gave lots of updates. We know Oatmeal was spoiled and had so much fun!”
About: I have taken care of animal since I was a child. I also have experienced in cleaning and keeping the house organised. I also watched senior people while their family was away Im free on weekdays and weekends. I live alone in the US so it be good for me to be busy and keep myself active. I care for pet my asking my clients what time they eat or what is their sleep schedule and routine. So this can help build relationships .
About: I have grown up in a home with dogs my whole life, and have experience caring for dogs old, young, big, and small. I have cared for friends and family's pets, including those with special needs. I currently work from home full time allowing my schedule to be fairly flexible. I am also usually available in the Fishtown area on weekends. I will listen to each owner's house rules and ensure that these rules are followed for every pet visit. For walks, I will do my best to learn each pet's demeanor beforehand to know how they react to other animals and people to ensure safety is my number one priority.
“Megan took wonderful care of our puppy! She came in advance to meet her and us, was timely and flexible. She clearly knows how to care for dogs and is very affectionate. We’ll absolutely call on her again!”
“I was nervous to leave my cat since he recently had a urinary blockage. Sydney did a great job bonding with him so that he felt comfortable eating, drinking, and using the litter box on schedule. She sent me regular check-ins and photos to put my mind at ease. She even stayed an extra day when my travel plans changed! I’m grateful that my cat was in such good hands!”

Mauricio was very attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay. He kept me updated and sent pictures whenever needed, which I really appreciated. I’m especially grateful for his willingness to accommodate my last minute request and for taking such great care of Henry. I look forward to having Mauricio pet sit Henry again in the future!
Stella took great care of our pups when we were away. They provided regular updates and lots of photos. Even took one of our pups to the vet and got her meds, when she fell sick. Lots of cuddles and playtime, kept the pups happy! Stella was also respectful of our home during her stay. We will definitely be booking with them again!
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter than Alex! We were overseas for two weeks and naturally a little anxious about leaving our fur babies and home behind, but Alex gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. He communicated regularly, sent photos and updates, checked in thoughtfully, and was always proactive about letting us know of anything that might need our attention. What we appreciated most was his gentle, patient, and caring approach to our cats, along with the respect he showed for our home. We returned to happy, healthy kitties and a house that was just as tidy and well cared for as when we left it! Alex went above and beyond. Knowing that our fur babies were in such wonderful hands allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our time away. We are so grateful to him and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, conscientious, and genuinely caring.
Rowan is punctual, responsible, thoughtful and communicative! She took such good care of my cats while I was gone and they warmed to her right away! I got photos and updates throughout my time away. And somehow when I came back, my apartment was cleaner than when I left it! Would highly recommend her!
Jake was so awesome! We were in a pinch visiting Philly and needed a dog sitter at the last minute. He was immediately available and was so good to our boy! He accommodated us so well and we couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Thank you Jake for coming in clutch for us today!!!
Brendan took great care of my pup Bonny for me, and was very helpful and flexible when I had some last minute plan changes on my way out of town. Bonny loved spending time with Brendan and he was great about playing with her and walks - she was very calm and content when I returned..
We would definitely recommend Lauren for hours sitting needs! We needed some help very last minute and Lauren was not only very quick to respond but also very quick to set up a meet and greet to get everything sorted. She was great about updates and photos which we always greatly appreciate! We would utilize her services again in a heartbeat :)
Maya was an incredible sitter for our two kitties! She was willing to help us out for a week long house sit on very short notice and we were so happy with her service. She sent multiple updates and pictures during the days and loved our babies like they were her own! We’re grateful for all her help and would recommend using her again anytime.
Erin did great with our dogs, successfully bonding with our standoffish cattle dog and rising to the needs of our very elderly dog. She was communicative and responsive and sent lots of updates and photos. We appreciate that she took the time to get to know them and learn about their routines.
Melanie was wonderful with my dog. She had a soft and gentle manner that my dog really connected with. I truly appreciated Melanie's flexibility when my plans suddenly changed and she did her best to accommodate that.I will definitely be recommending her to friends and neighbors. I've already contacted her so I can book her again. Highly recommend!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ludlow walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ludlow maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ludlow 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!

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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
