“Lauren was so professional and communicative while house sitting with our pups. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home from our trip and I can tell she took great care of them!!”

“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

About: My family has had two cats since I was born. I love taking care of them, playing with them and snuggling with them. I owned a Guinea pig for many years and he was well taken care of. I have grown up around small and medium sized dogs and have been a dog sitter for friends and family. I have fed both cats and dogs, taken dogs on walks and taken care of whatever they might need. I will take care of your pet as if it is my own! I am a full-time college student, so I have a flexible schedule Monday- Sunday and most holidays. I am willing to work with you to find a time that works for you! If you are a new client I am more than willing to schedule a meet and greet so that I know how best to take care of your pet. I am more than capable of providing any service your pet might need and will ensure that your pet is happy and healthy when you return!
“Henry did a wonderful job caring for our two golden retrievers and our house over two weeks. He seems to really love dogs, and took them for walks and let them out (even at midnight) when they needed it. Also came back mid-day from work to check in on them. Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.”

“Jessica is a dog-whisperer! Our dog Timba immediately fell in love with her. Jessica looked after our two "shell-shocked" dogs with love and care. They have recently been transplanted from abroad and have had a hard time living in a more "socialized"environment. Jessica's dog expertise offered them a calming caretaker and allowed them to settle into a new relationship over a couple of days. We are very happy to have found Jessica and highly recommend her.”

“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”

“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”


“We are very happy with the care Bella provided for Sonny when she spent the day/evening at our home. She genuinely loves dogs & quickly formed a bond with our little guy. We have already booked Bella for another stay and will continue to depend on her kind, loving & responsible pet care services!”

“This was not only my first time using Rover, but also the first time I ever had a house sitter. Shout out to the universe because I couldn't have picked a better person to be a part of both experiences. Not to mention the relief I felt knowing the two most important things in my life were in good hands.”

“Teri is amazing! Once again she took the best care of our animals (and house) and made our travel so much less stressful. She went above in beyond in driving a good distance to get our dog a new ID tag when his fell off, and by the end of her visit, our incredibly shy cat was happily lounging on Teri's lap. We are so grateful to have her as a sitter.”

“Jesse was fantastic from the first interaction. We had a meet and greet and we instantly knew he would be a great match. He was on time to our home, took great care of our home and our dog and even was flexible when our flight was delayed several hours. Will definitely book him again for home care!”

“Katie provided exceptional care for our dogs - we truly could not have had a more attentive and kind sitter. Katie provided detailed updates, photos, and - most importantly - affection and company for Leo and Mabel. I highly recommend Katie for pet sitting!”

“Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.”

“Jacklyn was amazing! I was very nervous that my dog would be scared, and Jak put me at ease with great communication and videos. She was able to get my shy dog to warm up to her, through cuddles, frequent play sessions, and time outside. She definitely knows how to work with animals and I would recommend her!”

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”


About: Since I was a small child, I have had numerous family dogs and otherwise, all of which have helped me develop a deep understanding of love, care, and joy. Each dog I meet leaves a mark on me, and I truly value that. Recently, I left my career in Civil Engineering to pursue my love for dogs and all animals - which has brought me to my most recent job and passion of working at a kennel. I only wish to continue this new journey by helping/assisting/caring for even more animals, which brings me to Rover! I am currently working part-time (25-35 hours per week) at a kennel. I have 3-4 spare days each week - in which I hope to incorporate extra care work into my schedule, which brings me to Rover. I am comfortable with both on leash and off leash care, and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. In my home, my dog has always been the priority in my day to day. Ensuring good health, a positive atmosphere, and the ability to show them/allow them to live their life to the fullest. I value safety incredibly, and I am confident in my abilities to build trust with any and all dogs - given the necessary time and comfortability.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. My first dog was a German Shepherd when I was 4, 12, and 16. My friends and family have exposed me to a wide variety of dogs. I am always the first in the room to attract a dog and the last to leave its side. Small or big, I know how to leave your dog with a new human friend, happy and tired. I'm more than comfortable checking in and house-sitting with all types of dogs whether it’s a couch companion or a playful friend. I know with my German Shepherd it's always go, go, go so when he sits and naps it's a break for me too. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are leash-trained and dog friendly of all sizes. I just graduated college so I’m spending some time at home for the summer meaning I’m pretty much free whenever outside of committed plans. I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me to figure a time and day out! I know it's difficult to open your home to a stranger, so I'm more than willing to meet or talk on the phone before you trust me with your pet! To ensure the safety of your dog, I need to know of any behavioral or medical issues. Depending on the issue, we can decide if I'm the best match for you and your dog. I know the basic do and donts, red flags, and really good at communication. I’m always patient, loving, and responsible! I understand there may be specific needs, wants, and asks so I’m all ears.
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been both a dog and cat owner for more than 20 years. Caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which gives me the flexibility to help other pet owners enjoy their summer travels with peace of mind.

Staying in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, providing a greater sense of comfort and ease.

Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will provide attentive, personalized care tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping make your time away as worry-free as possible. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your pet's specific needs and routine. Whether it's daily walks, feeding schedules, medication reminders, playtime, or check-ins at particular times of day, I will do my best to work around the schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and happy. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I am committed to maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Simply let me know your preferences and your pet's needs, and I will be happy to accommodate them. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. I enjoy caring for pets in their own homes because it allows them to remain in a familiar environment with their established routines. I believe this minimizes stress and disruption, helping pets feel more comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I take the time to learn your pet's habits, preferences, and daily schedule so I can provide care that is consistent with what they are used to. Whether it's feeding times, walks, playtime, medication, or special instructions, I am committed to maintaining the level of care and attention you provide for your animal every day. I also understand the responsibility that comes with caring for your home and your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful, attentive, and communicative throughout my time with your furry family members.
Manchester-by-the-Sea pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jillian took great care of our senior dog for three overnights at our home. She asked all the right detailed questions about his care, and had no problem giving his medications. She also was a fantastic communicator, and made sure our dog got an extra bathroom break when our return was slightly delayed. We’re looking forward to her coming back soon!
