“Magnoly is amazing! She took well care of my fur-baby (cat). She was on top of feeding and making sure he had water. He had a lot of playtime. If his area was dirty, she cleaned the area for me. The daily pictures were great to see how my cat was doing. He absolutely loved her.”
“Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!”

About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
“Dayanara did an excellent job taking care of Cora. She followed directions and sent me pictures as well. She delivers such a great service. The Meet and Greet was very professional and she even brought some treats and toys. I was very impressed. Daya cleaned up a bit as well and I came home to a well organized living room. Cora and I are very thankful. I’m definitely going to rebook with her. Thanks Daya!”
“We recently had Beatriz watch our 3 cats and we are so happy we booked her. From the first meeting, she was very organized, took lots of notes on how to care for our cats and her communication is amazing. We felt so at ease while away because of Beatriz. She sent us images, gave our cats cuddles and lots of love. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: Family, Friends, and even more have looked to me and my home for their pet sitting from vacations to nights out. Tender loving care and I work from home and typically have my pets around me in my office that's attached to a porch that leeds down a deck into a huge fenced backyard. I'm able to tend to, clean, feed, and play with on demand and plus, a little play time always helps detress! In my home, everything from feeding to caring to brushing/bathes, and play time! Over night they have options to sleep alone or with me, I have beds of all sizes and crate if the owner prefers they sleep there. Very adaptable to owners needs.
“Susan did a phenomenal job taking care of our really happy boys on our really busy schedule. I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care my furry friend received from Susan! Their genuine love for dogs was evident from the start. Not only did they follow all instructions diligently, but they went above and beyond to ensure our dogs felt at home. Daily updates with pictures reassured me that my pup was in good hands. I highly recommend Susan to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter for their beloved pet. A true gem in the world of dog sitting!”

“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.”
“Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,”
“Sasha is Fantastic! She’s very communicative, is so good with our pup, and we enjoy having her come over weekly! This is my first time with a pet sitter and she made it so easy and we felt comfortable almost immediately. 10/10!”
“Grace was amazing! My cat Samosa can be tough to love as she doesn't like people other than me but Samosa was in such good spirits when I got home. I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”

Pet 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!!!!
Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!
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!

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.

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 .
