Emily was amazing with Sunny! She stayed in our home for a week and took such great care of him. She kept in touch the whole time with updates, treated Sunny like her own, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She’s super friendly, and we came home to an absolutely spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely have Emily watch Sunny again!

About: I've loved all animals ever since I was born! I've had all different species, shapes and sizes of animals ranging from fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, and of course my favorites; cats and dogs. Over the years, I have cared for my own animals as well as friends and family. I'm patient, caring, and dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the best care! I have a full time job but have availability during the week before 8 am and after 4pm for the summers and before 9am and after 6pm during the winter. Weekends are more flexible and I can dedicate more time to caring for your furry friend! My current living situation does not allow for pets, so I am available to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home and neighborhood!

Victoria watched our dog Cora at our house and it was great! We got multiple updates a day and Cora got a lot of walks. As a Rover sitter myself, Cora is used to a lot of dogs around, so the walks really helped. I will definitely book Victoria again for our upcoming travel if she's available.

Emily was an incredible sitter for our chiweenie, Max. He’s a very anxious dog and she was able to not only calm him but make him her bestie in five short days. We appreciated having her in our home: she is neat, punctual and took great care of our space. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Daniel took care of my dog and three cats for a week while I was out of town. He did a great job with all of them, although my dog definitely wanted all of his attention :) Daniel was very communicative and asked me how often I'd like pictures, and he stayed in touch, particularly if any questions came up. He was very easy to work with, and my pets all did great with Daniel around to take care of them. Would definitely recommend and hire Daniel again!

Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!

We were glad to have Jamie stay with us again, this time for a full week. She took care of our dogs and home while on vacation, even responding to a few off hour requests. Thanks again, we look forward to booking again soon.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and grew up caring for various breeds, which taught me how to read canine body language and understand different personalities. Beyond a lifetime of personal pet ownership, I also have professional experience working for a local small pet-care business. Through that role, I provided high-quality drop-in cat and dog sitting, daily dog walking, and overnight housesitting. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, structured routine maintenance during an overnight stay, or just some dedicated playtime and companionship, I am committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away! As a university student studying psychology and kinesiology, my schedule requires a bit of balance, but it also gives me great flexibility! I am fully available for pet care from Friday to Monday. Because my evenings are adaptable, I am also available for late-night check-ins. I manage my time strictly, ensuring that your pet's feeding, walking, and medication schedules are always met precisely and with plenty of dedicated attention. Safety is my absolute highest priority when caring for your animals. Having grown up with various breeds and worked professionally in pet care, I have a strict rule of keeping all dogs securely leashed whenever they are outside or on walks. I am also fully experienced with crate training and can comfortably crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. My academic background makes me highly observant of behavior, so you can trust that I will maintain a calm, structured, and completely secure environment for your pet.

About: I frequently pet sit for friends and neighbors, and it is something I greatly enjoy! I have a cat of my own and I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I am a college student who is working a 9-5 this summer. I have Saturdays and Sundays completely free, and availability after 5 on weekdays. I am very flexible to clients’ needs regarding pet care. Their safety and happiness is my priority. I try to keep their routine as similar as possible to normal, while giving lots of care and attention to their needs.

Charlotte is GREAT! She came over twice before her stay to meet the dogs and get a feel for how things would run during her stay. She made me feel so comfortable! She gave me updates throughout the week we were gone and sent some very cute photos! We came home to some very happy dogs. We are so thankful for our experience with Charlotte and have already booked her again! Thank you!!

About: I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Integrative Physiology with the dream of being a veterinarian. I have worked in the veterinary field for the past 6 years working in both small and large animal. Currently, I am a small animal veterinary technician so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who need a little extra attention. One of my strengths is reading animal body language, which helps me adjust my approach so pets feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to make your pet feel like it’s just another normal day at home, keeping their routine consistent and their stress as low as possible while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Plus, I'll keep you updated so you can always have peace of mind! I currently work in Westport, MA, and have a consistent work schedule with mostly longer shifts during the week (4x a week, usually 8-7pm). While I am working during the day, I am always home in the evenings and fully available for early morning and overnight care. On weekends, I typically work until 1 PM, which leaves me available for early morning (before 7am), afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care. I’m happy to work around schedules and communicate clearly to make sure your pets are always cared for reliably and on time. I provide care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am not able to board animals in my own home, I am fully comfortable staying overnight at your home and have done so in the past. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and reassurance while you are away. I aim to keep things as stress-free as possible by following your instructions closely and maintaining a calm, consistent environment so your pets feel safe and at home.

About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. I have my own dog and I have helped friends and family by looking after their furry friends. I work full time but I am home in Newport everyday by 4:00pm so I would be able by 4:30 to care for your dog! I am also available most weekends at any time. I have a friendly dog and a fenced in yard where they could play! My home is also very spacious and always been dog friendly.

Kimberly was awesome and her care for our pets demonstrated that she truly loves animals. She came and met us and our pets before our trip - friendly introduction and we had the opportunity to show her our home and to share pets’ routine, feeding, etc. While away we enjoyed receiving pet photos throughout her pet sitting. We highly recommend Kimberly and plan to use her in the future!

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have years of experience caring for animals. I truly love being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for them. I currently work fully remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship for your pet. I am a very active person, so I usually go on a long walk or run in the mornings, which I would bring your dog on. I am a full-time student, so I would be at work during the days, but could come back during lunch if desired to let the dogs out, or leave them for about 8 hours. In the evening I would take them on another long walk or maybe to play at the beach. I am flexible and accommodating to individual needs! I would strictly follow the guidelines given to me by the owners with adding caution where I might see needed. For example I would be sure to never take their dog off leash unless we were in a very secure area and the owner had explicitly told me their dog was okay to be off leash in certain areas. I’m also happy to provide phone numbers of people I have pet sat for previously!

Maria was fantastic with my dogs! She kept me updated with pics on the dogs while I was gone. You can tell she cares a great deal about making sure they are happy and safe. Dogs were well loved and I was able to enjoy a wedding weekend without stressing. 10/10 would book again.

Maria stayed with our two dogs for two nights… she took good care of them, sent updates and I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free! My only advice would for Maria and Victoria would be to communicate ahead of time which one of you is going to be taking the job. Since all of the reviews mention Victoria, I was surprised when Maria showed up for the meet and greet with no prior mention.
