“Considering this was our first time engaging a sitter via Rover, we got really lucky finding someone like Kate. Not only was she able to administer insulin to one of our cats, she was very accommodating of our schedules and specific requirements. She was punctual & responsible, and a big bonus that the cats didn't shy away from her :)”
“Cassandra is a warm, kind, and responsive person. She really enjoys your pets and you’ll get some cute stories about their antics while you’re away! I was reassured about my cats being ok and cared for, as well as entertained and, the most important!, they got their treats. So I’m not really sure how much they really missed me!”
“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away! We came home to two happy dogs and a house that was clean and tidy. She responded quickly and kept us in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend, Courtney.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“Gracie was able to help out last minute with our dog who requires a lot of eye drops. She came multiple times a day and was patient and gave our dog (and cats!) the care they needed. She responds quickly and sends lots of updates which we really appreciate! We will be having her back!”
“My scaredy cats are not overly friendly upon first meeting, but Claire was patient with them and worked her cat whispering magic to draw them out. They had such a good time with Claire that when we got back, they barely noticed. Claire asked a bunch of questions, and I felt comfortable leaving her in charge of my cats. I appreciated the many pictures she sent to let me know that both cats had been sighted and were being well cared for. Thank you, Claire!! Johann and Misha are already wondering when we’re going to leave again, so you can come back.”
“We were very happy to have left our energetic pitbull Gunner in the care of Chandler during our week vacation. We appreciated the ease of communication before, during and after Chandlers stay at our house. Gunner was in great spirits when we got home as well the house was just as clean as when we left it. We would certainly recommend Chandler to look after your pup as well we will definitely re-hire Chandler in the future.”
“Brittany was wonderful! She was willing to take a last minute booking when a sitter fell through. She stayed at our home for the weekend and although she had 2 doubles her husband was also willing to help. ❤️ She sent tons of photos and updates. We will be booking her again for future stays!”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah. I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have had dogs, cats, fish, and even hermit crabs! I have experience in different areas of the pet care field. I have worked in a boarding kennel, volunteered at a local animal shelter for many years, pet sat, and dog walked. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and experienced sitter for your amazing furry friend, here I am! Right now I have a flexible schedule - If you need just a quick drop in visit, or care for multiple days while on vacation. I believe clear expectations, proper communication, and updates are key ! My priority is for you to come home to a happy and healthy pet!
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I had cats at home and started horseback riding when I was six. Now, I am living in New Hampshire for 3 years, with my husband, our two dogs, our cat... only our mare stayed in France. I do not work, so I am available to take care of your pets. I can groom them, administer medicine (with clear instructions), walk them or just cuddle them. I may be out 4 hours max for my english lessons. We moved to the United States for my husband's job; I don't work, so I would be delighted to look after your babies as if they were my own. I take English classes twice a week in the morning, but I am completely free the rest of the time. At my home, your dogs will be treated just like mine, with access to the garden and unlimited playtime and naps. Introductions to my own dogs will be handled gently—especially with Flack, who can take a little time to warm up but is used to meeting plenty of doggy friends back in France. At your home, I will follow your instructions; since my English isn't perfect yet, please feel free to leave written notes.
“It was such a relief to have Amanda here watching Ralphy. I knew he was getting the best care. She sent me pictures every day. From the one she sent me where he was kissing her, I believe Ralphy liked her!”
About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with many years of hands-on experience. For over 7 years, I regularly helped my neighbor take care of her dogs — including daily walks, feeding, companionship, and sometimes looking after multiple dogs at once. I have also had pets my entire life, including cats, a dog, and small animals like hamsters. This has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and the importance of routine and safety. I am currently available full-time and can provide constant care and attention. I offer flexible scheduling, including half-day stays, daytime care, and in-home boarding in a safe and calm environment I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. In my home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, прогулки (walks), and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and gentle supervision throughout the day. I make sure they are never left alone for long periods. In my client’s home: I respect your home and your pet’s привычную среду (routine). I keep their schedule consistent — feeding, walks, playtime, and rest — so they feel secure and less stressed while you are away. I am reliable, clean, and attentive to details. I always pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and mood to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: About Me 🐾❤️ As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pets. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring every step of the way. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own, following their routines, respecting your instructions, and giving them plenty of love, patience, and personalized care while you’re away. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals, including farm animals, dogs, cats, and parrots. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! Today, my home is filled with my two dogs—a 7-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Golden Retriever—as well as my African Grey parrot. We recently lost our sweet orange kitty, Jack, and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️🐱 I absolutely love being outdoors, so if your pup enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to take them for a walk or hike and give them fun, enriching time outside. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in snow, rain, or heat, so the weather won’t stop me from providing reliable care! ☀️🌧️❄️ Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pets, understand their personalities and routines, and keep you updated so you can feel confident and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for them. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕 My Availability 🐾 To start, while I build my clientele, I’m available early mornings, after 4 PM on weekdays, weekends, and holidays! ❤️ I’m excited to meet some amazing new pets and their families and hopefully become someone you can count on whenever you need a little extra help caring for your fur babies. 🐶🐱🐾 Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I have two dogs and an African Grey parrot, so I understand how important it is to keep a safe, calm, and clean environment for all animals. I would always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your home with the same respect I would expect in my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible, and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕
About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madbury
Brynn did a fantastic job with our three dogs while we were out of the country for almost two weeks. This was our first time leaving the boys with someone new and the first time we left them for so long. She learned each of their personalities, she bonded with them, she kept in contact us and sent pictures. She loved our boys as if they were her own. I will definitely be booking again and I know my dogs are looking forward to seeing her again.
Julia is a fantastic dog sitter! Our dog Pico adores her, and knowing she is there caring for him allows us to enjoy our travels. She kept us informed of Picos shenanigans and exercised great judgement on how to adapt- such as adjusting enrichments and giving him extra walks when he started to chew his favorite toy too intensely. She is slso very trustworthy with our home and left everything in good order. We could not be more grateful!
I am so thankful to have found Gwen. They’re so good with my St Bernard, who can be an absolute handful. They are friendly, responsible, and expertly communicative. It was so hard leaving my dog for the first time with an overnight sitter and Gwen made it much easier. Thank you so much!!!
Brittany was wonderful! She was willing to take a last minute booking when a sitter fell through. She stayed at our home for the weekend and although she had 2 doubles her husband was also willing to help. ❤️ She sent tons of photos and updates. We will be booking her again for future stays!
We were very happy to have Colby look after our dog Gunner. We felt confident in leaving Gunner with Colby when we went away for a week. We appreciated Colby came prior to our trip to meet our dog to ensure our guy was more familiarized with Colby when he arrived. Colby left our house in great shape as well. We would certainly hire Colby again!

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 Madbury 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 Madbury 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.
Tip: 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 Madbury 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
