“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”
“Erin is great! She is responsible? Quick to respond to requests, punctual, personable, and most-importantly, loves dogs. She has been amazing at taking care of my puppy once in a while, and I know puppies aren’t easy!”
“Karinna was our savior when our long term pet sitter became ill. She set our minds at ease and took time to win over Max and Henry! Loved the updates and pics she sent! Happy to know we have a new sitter to watch our boys when we need a getaway. Karrina is great!”
“Lauren is amazing! She's meticulous and joyful with my dog Madeleine. Such a relief when I am away at work to known Lauren is coming to walk my girl and that Madeleine will have such a great day with her.”
“Sammy was great showed up on time and played with My Boys when she was there she always sent me updates and pics and my boys were taken care of very well. I would highly recommend her.”
“We are very thankful to have found Shea to care for our pups while we are away! Having a high energy rescue pup we had been limited in our ability to do much traveling. Shea came for a meet and greet and after spending a short time with us we were all calm and comfortable. Shea has helped us several times and each time we have come back to a tidy home and happy, well-adjusted doggies! Thank you Shea.”
“Rachel did a couple last minute drop-ins for me and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet to meet my shy pup Kiva beforehand. Despite the meet & greet, Kiva was still wary and Rachel was very patient with her as Kiva got more comfortable. Thank you Rachel, I appreciate you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!
“Jessica did a great job! She was very flexible with our schedule. We recommend her. She responds to requests quickly and did great job with my sister in laws pug!”
About: I’ve owned an assortment of animals from dogs & cats, to hamsters and birds. Currently I have a dog and two cats that mean the world to me. I enjoy caring for animals, either walking dogs, or scooping litter boxes. I retired early in 2020 due to the pandemic, and couldn’t think of anything I’d enjoy more than being with animals. I decided to give pet sitting a try, and I’m loving it. Let me spoil and care for your pet just like you do! I’m available on weekends and all holidays too. Currently I do not travel outside of Enfield. My pets are my routine! First thing in the morning they get their breakfast and treats before I scoop their litter boxes. Then it’s time to walk my pup, and start my day. Evenings are usually a repeat, just with more snuggles. All my pets are free to roam my 4 bedroom home. I have a completely fenced in yard on a quiet dead end street with only 6 houses. I am almost always home and love the company of animals. I will follow client rules in their homes.
“Mary played with Shasta and Luna as instructed. Her videos were cute and reassuring. The cats see.ed to be responsive to her care. She was on time, spent the 30 minutes as indicated, and was very responsible with the key... I will count on her services in the future with no hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from watching relatives dogs to neighbors across the street. I personally have two large German Shepards in Connecticut. I’ve volunteered at MSPCA in Boston and worked with puppies there. I’m very patient with dogs of all ages and activity levels! I am available all day! I am home for the summer after graduating college, so I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends! I have a very large living room with plenty of space for animals! I also have a large yard for them to walk around and love going on walks with dogs.
“Elizabeth is wonderful, reliable and loves Max. We are fortunate to have her take care of Max when we have trips or to drop in and ck in him. We feel relaxed knowing she will be there with Max.”
Melrose cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jaclyn is such a kind amazing person and I’m so glad we found her! She really made me feel that my fur babies were in the best hands. She was very detailed on everything. My cats warmed up very quickly to her! Overall just a great experience with her and was very communicative. She even came to my house to meet and understand the routine, pick up our garage button before we left for our trip and closed up the house each day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone! Thank you Jaclyn!
