“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”
“Julissa did a great job pet sitting our dog and two cats over the holidays. Pets seemed very happy, communication was great, and the house was very clean when we returned. Thanks Julissa!!”
“Molly was wonderful with our high needs elderly dog. Molly was communicative, responsive, and sent many updates and photos throughout the day. We hope to have Molly watch our dog again and highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Katelyn and her girls took wonderful care of Pierogi! Lots of photos, snuggles, and activity time. Will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip in August!”
“Alissa was a real pleasure. We have a brand new 2yo rescue dog, Pixie, who is really sweet but can be a bit rambunctious and not 100% house trained. We needed to have someone come to our house who could follow our training regimen. None of our friends and neighbors were available. This was our first experience with Rover and Alissa was a gem. She was friendly, upbeat and enthusiastic about meeting and spending the weekend at our house with Pixie. Pixie is on heartworm meds and Alissa was on top of everything. She followed our training directions exactly and she send us great pictures and video clip. Not only was she a great dog sitter, our house was also tidy and she made sure to even take out the trash before we came home. It was a great first Rover experience and we will definitely invite Alissa back next time we need a buddy for our Pixie.”
“Kaylee was wonderfully communicative with our pets going above and beyond in so many ways. She supported our elderly dog with dimensia and even relayed needs of city contractors coordinating with us on turning on services. We highly recommend Kaylee for house / pet sitting and hope to have the privilege of using her services again.”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“Audrey is wonderful! She kept my little senior cat so happy and content during my trip. Jasmine is very social and Audrey sent me wonderful photos of her each day, as well as a report that she was doing well. Jasmine needs medication and Audrey took care of that as well!”
About: i’ve been taking care of pets my whole life. I started pet and house sitting around 5 years ago for my family and still do! I have tuesday’s and thursday’s off of work until I start school then my schedule will change a bit! i’m a server with flexible hours I’m looking to keep your pet as comfortable as I can, if that’s taking your animal for a walk or laying with them on the couch
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, as well as other pets like snakes, and I’ve usually been the one in my family to train them. With great pets comes great responsibility. After all, they are more than just pets- they’re family too. Right now my schedule is quite fluid! I work remotely and do a lot of freelance work, so I’m able to be available most days of the week & most times. Aside from providing them with their basic needs, I assess how they behave- their tendencies, preferences, any special needs they may have, etc.- and try to care for them accordingly. I also pay attention to them both emotionally and physically to see if anything is troubling them
About: I'm a lover of play, exploration, rest, and relationship building -- with human and non-human creatures alike! I have 15+ years of experience tending to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, enjoy long walks as much as they do, and particularly enjoy sending photo updates to the families I sit for. I've been told I "play with dogs like they're [my] siblings" and that I'm both "a black cat and a golden retriever in spirit" -- all this to say, I get animals, and they get me. :) I'm currently working in a university counseling center, supporting students of all ages through the transitions of their lives. This is a typical 9-5 job (with one remote day/week coming Spring 2027) -- so I'd pair well with animals that can do okay on their own during work hours. I like to learn an animal's routines and do my best to replicate them during a sit, so as not to cause any anxious critter more stress. I have a good track record for reading an animal's body language and know when to give cuddles, when to give space, and when to know something's "off" that needs more serious attention.
About: Hey there pet parents! I’m a fear free positive reinforcement dog trainer & owner of a small business where I provide all kinds of pet services. I have experience giving injections, working with paralyzed animals, and ones with aggressive behavior. I have my own fur babies so trust me when I say your dog(s)/cat(s) will have a great time and of course be in good hands. I do NOT discriminate against breeds I am a proud pitty mom. Never have to worry about someone judging your pup. If you have cats, small animals, or reptiles the more the better! Let's work together! Can't wait to meet your furbabies! When taking care of your pets I will keep you updated with photos and videos so you know they are always having a great time. Pet care fits into my daily routine by making sure I put in the time for animals of my own as well as helping you with yours. I care for the animals of my clients in my home as well as their home by treating them as if they were my very own. I provide them with the necessities they need and make sure they have the attention they need as well.
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”

1000/10, Bri is literally the best! When our youngest dog was having serious diarrhea, she reported back to us, got to the emergency vet, and waited for over 4 hours for his treatment and medication. She is also a wonderful house guest and thoughtful. I feel confident in saying she treats your pets with the utmost care and love!
What a joy! We had an instant connection with Kira, and left (for over 3 weeks) knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. We have two dogs. One is a very calm 40 pound english setter. The other is an energetic and strong 100 pound Old English Sheepdog. She was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures, too. We highly recommend Kira, and will definitely use her again!
Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pups for a long weekend and was incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and communicative the entire time. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was so nice being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about a thing. She also went above and beyond in ways we never expected. She brought in packages, did laundry, washed the dogs’ bowls, and somehow left our house even better than she found it. Our pups were clearly well cared for and loved, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We’d absolutely book Katherine again and couldn’t recommend her more.
Drew was great with our cats. I'd been a bit worried leaving town because Gideon just started a new medication regimen and I wasn't sure how he'd do with a new person administering, but Drew was patient while Gideon ate his medicated food and it was no problem. Even skittish Sophie was warming up to Drew within a few days, which is fast for her. I would definitely hire Drew again next time we're out of town!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We reached out with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages, photos, and videos which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs were getting plenty of love, attention, and great care while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups! We’d absolutely book with Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.
Bianca did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet but sensitive Miss Ellie! Given some weather and smoke (Canadian wildfires) challenges, Bianca made sure Ellie was walked/exercised daily, but stayed safe in the heat and smoke. Her communication was great and sent us frequent updates with pictures and videos which assured us Ellie was in good hands and well taken care of. Ellie bonded with her quickly. Bianca also took great care of our home and completed the multiple chores we asked to be done. Do not hesitate to book Bianca if you need a reliable and responsible pet sitter. We will definitely be hiring her for our future needs. A+

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Chicopee walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Chicopee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Chicopee choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
