“Bill and I always feel better after Jill checks on Murphy! Jill is timely, reliable and sends photos of our girls, which always makes our day. Murphy can't wait to see Jill again!”
“Mercedes was wonderful! Right from our initial meet-and-greet with us and the cats we knew she’d be a perfect fit. Her updates and photos showed happy, well cared for cats. One of the photos showed all three cats eating their treats of the tray at the same time! A feat even we’ve never accomplished. Mercedes is friendly, personable, and you can feel her love for animals. When we arrived home we found she’d even washed all of the food bowls. We are extremely pleased!”
“Melanie was wonderful from the start. She was in contact with us shortly after booking and then again before we left. She kept us updated everyday while we were away and made sure our cats were taken care of. Our experience with her was great and we will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.
About: I’m a proud cat parent to four amazing kitties! I truly love spending quality time with my fur babies—whether we’re relaxing at home or even going on the occasional car ride together. I grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends care for their pets while they’re out of town, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and even reptiles. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, making sure doors and windows are secure, monitor food and water intake, keep litter boxes clean, and provide enrichment and play based on your cat’s personality and energy level.
“I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.”
“Catherine was amazing! On the meet and greet, my cats who are usually a bit shy went right up to her and wanted attention. Her check-ins were on time and she sent photos every time. I will definitely have her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with huskies—I’ve proudly cared for three generations of my grandma’s huskies ( and if you know about them is that you NEED love in your heart and patience overall so I can proudly say I can take care of any dog with any necesity), each with their own quirks and needs. Since 2020, I’ve been actively training and dog-sitting, and over time, it’s become more than a job—it’s a passion. My friends even call me their “911” for dog walks and puppy emergencies! I’ve helped guide many first-time puppy parents with easy, effective care tips and routines. On any given day, I’m surrounded by a joyful pack of up to 10 dogs, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my energy, patience, and love with every pup I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work online, which gives me a super flexible schedule with free mornings and evenings. That means I’m able to adapt perfectly to your dog’s needs, whether it’s early walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles. Since I already care for a group of dogs daily, I’m used to creating a consistent, loving environment where every pup feels safe and happy. I love being active and outdoors, so spending quality time with dogs isn’t just doable—it’s the best part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I keep a clean, spacious, and dog-friendly environment where pups can play, rest, and feel right at home—especially those with high energy like huskies. I follow feeding schedules, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets individual attention, from walks to enrichment time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care I give my own, sticking to their pet’s routines and preferences. I respect their space, keep communication open, and always leave things better than I found them. Whether it’s a puppy still learning or a senior dog that needs patience, I adapt and give them the love and structure they deserve.
About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified through PetTech. I worked at a dog boarding facility for a year and a half. I have gotten a professional education in dog body language, handling, and training through Kennelwood Academy. I own 4 dogs myself. I have expirience with senior dogs, sports dogs, puppies as young as 8 weeks, dogs with disabilities and more. Available all day early mornings, no later than 8pm. I am a dog and cat owner so I am no stranger to last minute help. I follow your dogs schedule exactly as written. Schedule and routine is extremely important for animals. Especially while you, the pet parent, is not home.
About: I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you trust -someone who's not just reliable, but who genuinely connects with animals. That's the kind of care I provide. I've spent most of my life around pets, especially cats, and I helped raise my brother's golden retriever, Katie, from the time she was a puppy. I was her main caregiver-handling walks, feeding, playtime, and regular visits to the dog park. Katie was sweet but very submissive, which meant she sometimes got overwhelmed in social settings. Through that, I learned to read subtle body language cues and step in calmly when needed. What really sets me apart is my patience and intuitive approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs. I let pets come to me on their own terms, creating space for trust to grow naturally. I've been told I have a calming presence that helps nervous pets relax and feel safe. If you're looking for someone who will treat your animal like a member of the family-and keep your home clean and cared for in the process -I'd love to help. I'll be ready to provide my time to help serve your pet at about 5:00 pm on the weekdays and I have all weekends off. Your pet's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical care. I always approach animals with patience, respect, and kindness. You'll never see me raise my voice or use harsh corrections- because fear doesn't build trust, it breaks it. Instead, I rely on calm communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I speak to pets in a moderate, reassuring tone and give them the time they need to feel comfortable. Whether your dog is full of energy or needs extra reassurance, I adapt to their needs to create a low-stress, safe environment where they can feel secure and understood.
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for my entire life. I have watched dogs of all sizes and multiple pets at a time, including cats and dogs, multiple dogs of different breeds/ sizes, or cats of different sizes and breeds. I can work from home so I can take care of them throughout the day; a lot of attention, walks, medication administration, etc. = happy pets! I stick to the routine and boundaries set by the client. Different dogs require different levels of care and I am experienced with many different types of breeds. I believe we are all animals whom deserve the best quality of life possible, so as long as I am looking after your pet, they will be treated with the respect they deserve!
“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”
About: I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I have had family pet dogs for 20 years and I am very involved in their care, health and wellbeing. I have had cats, guinea pigs, and a chameleon as a pet. I have provided excellent care for other people’s gerbil, chinchilla, bearded dragon and cats. I am available on the weekends at any time and my schedule varies with great flexibility during the week. Based on the day, I may have morning, afternoon, and evening availability. I am able to provide assured safety for your pet and gentle care when I watch them in your home and provide walks in local areas.
About: I took care of my grandfathers dog for 5 years. He was a Pomeranian. I love dogs I wish I could have one of my own. I have experience taking care of dogs and get along with them. I'm available during the weekdays 6-10 and the weekends all day . I'm pretty easy-going get along with mostly everybody. Flexible hours and have a car. I could take care of two dogs at a time. Thanks I can take care of your pets after work and the weekends. I absolutely love pets. I lived with them most of my life and care for them. You own home I'll take care of your pets. I'll feed and walk then if needed. Playing with them as well. I love animals. Dog parks

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Methuen
Melanie was wonderful from the start. She was in contact with us shortly after booking and then again before we left. She kept us updated everyday while we were away and made sure our cats were taken care of. Our experience with her was great and we will definitely use her again!
Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!
I asked Caitlyn to care for my two cats while I was away for a week at Thanksgiving time. Sadly, I had to euthanize one of them before my trip. She refunded the "second pet" fee quickly and without hesitation. For the one cat she did care for, she did a great job. She provided daily updates and photos. I am particularly - maybe obsessively - concerned that the litter box is cleaned daily, and the floor around it swept and vacuumed. When I returned I found all as I had hoped. She brought in mail and packages, put the garbage out on garbage day, and took the time to ask where the additional garbage and recycling bags were so she could change them out. Perhaps most kindly, she gave the litter box an extra clean on her last evening, in case I didn't get back home on time - which, given the chaos the weather created in air travel immediately after Thanksgiving, I did not. I would certainly use her again.
Ericka was great: she won Percy over and maintained daily schedule and tasks and kept us regularly informed, going above and beyond when we forgot to replace the battery in the time-release feeder! First time with Rover and Ericka and it was such a relief to entrust our kitty to such good care, now that he's on twice a day thyroid pills. Thank you!
Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.

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.
