She’s a very thoughtful sitter, even made my cat a new catnip toy. Made sure everything was done before leaving and made sure my cat was super comfortable. Overall would definitely rebook!

Jasmine was great! Both of my dogs are nervous with new people so I requested to do a drop-in visit before she stays for an overnight with them while I’m away. She was very gentle and patient to gain their trust and even brought them some treats! I am confident that my pets will be well taken care of when I go out of town.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for years. They are return customers because of the love, attention, and care I shower their pets with. If they had exercise requirements, I made sure to bring them to the dog park or on a hike. Even the less energetic dogs I brought out continuously. When they need meds, I have experience handling more challenging dogs to get them their meds when peanut butter isn't enough to get them what they need for their quality of life. Not to mention all the attention and playtime they will also receive! I will make sure your canine friend is well taken care of. I start and end my days with pet care. Pet sitting is what I do right now. My time is yours to schedule as you need me. I am sure to take your dog out for a walk every 4-6 hours when staying with them for multiple days. First thing in the morning, last thing before bed and at least 2 times throughout the day. If you like, I can bring them hiking or out to hang at the dog park. In fact I’d love to do that for you, based on your animal’s preference of course. Be sure to communicate with me what you need and what you are comfortable with regarding care for your pet.

Robin is the best. We trust her with our Annie and she takes such good care of her. She plays balls, snuggles, and takes Annie’s kisses. We wouldn’t go away if we didn’t know Annie would be in such great hands. And she keeps us posted on how Annie is doing with pictures all the time.

Olivia is LOVELY!! She is so thorough and communicative and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our girls in her hands. I loved the check ins on the app every time she arrived and the great note and updates through pictures at the end of each visit. Olivia is so great with cat care and knows exactly the concerns to watch out for and track. We would 100% use her again and hope to keep her as a regular sitter! Our very shy kitty girl warmed up to her on day 2 and that alone will motivate us to hire her again!

About: I have had pets; mainly dogs my whole life. It’s so important to give them attention, play with them and to walk them on a consistent basis for them to be happy. I have done this for numerous people over the past 5 years I currently am looking to care for dogs and to walk dogs to supplement my income. I am very ambitious and love being outdoors walking my own dogs; it’s vital for them to get that exercise daily! I have two high energy dogs that are very friendly and playful; they would love to share their happiness and walks with other dogs! I have administered medications and often gives bathes after walks- especially after they roll in something on the walk or run thru mud.

Katie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog. From the moment we connected, her communication was outstanding—she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and happiness. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will 100% be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a little girl—I had two dogs and one cat growing up, and they taught me how to love and respect pets deeply. That love has stayed with me ever since. 💛 What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and real attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m great with shy pets, playful puppies, and even seniors who need a little extra care and comfort. Whether it’s giving meds, sticking to routines, or keeping things clean and cozy, I do it all with love and respect. 🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. 🕒 About Me & My Schedule I’m dedicated to making pet care a consistent and joyful part of my day. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding times, play, or cuddles, I always prioritize giving your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m flexible and reliable, available every day—including weekends—and happy to work around your schedule to keep your pet’s routine smooth and stress-free. Taking care of animals fits naturally into my life—I truly enjoy it and make sure it’s a priority every day. 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to exercise and playtime—to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I always supervise pets closely to prevent any accidents and ensure they feel safe. You can trust me to treat your furry family member with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.

About: I’ve had one trustworthy client that I’ve known since 2014, I’ve pet sitted so well I graduated to babysitter! I have 4 kittys and 1 puppy that I care for daily with the help of my little brother who lives with me. My first born (fur baby) Nevada is my lifeline and I know if I left her in a strangers care I would want them to treat her like their own child, so i’m here to give the same pet service I would want to receive. I currently work a part time job as a behavioral tech as well as caring for a relative of my close friend in Groton, so tell me what you need from me and we can make this work! In my home I feed 2 kittys at a time so they all have the same amount then I’ll leave two bowls of water for when I go to work as well as a clean litter every 2-3 days. For my puppy I take him on two long walks in the morning and night then in the afternoon I take him to his favorite spot and go back inside. At a clients home I follow instructions given by the pet’s parents and make sure to play with the animals as much as I can to make sure we build a bond

Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)

We recently had to travel without our newly adopted dog. Hunter came to the rescue and was able to stay in our home to make our dog VERY happy. In fact, Hunter even recognized our pup's high level of energy and brought her to the nearby dog park to help her spend some of her excessive energy. We came home to a very happy dog. She even had a new bandana. Also, the house was just as we'd left it. I can't say enough about how pleased we were to have our pup well cared for and happy. Hunter is our go to for any future travel that doesn't include our dog, River. We give a full five star review!

Erica took great care of my two pups! She sent photos of each visit and also gave them meds. She was super caring, punctual and communicative. My two dogs are pretty hyper and she handled them with ease. I’ll definitely use Erica’s help again in the future.

I’ve known Jess for a long time, and I can confidently say that she’s one of the most responsible and caring people I know. Over the years, she’s taken care of my dog on multiple occasions. Jess is super attentive and loving and I’m always impressed with how above and beyond she goes. She’s also owned multiple dogs herself and has always been a great owner from a young age. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a compassionate, responsible dog sitter!

Melissa is a fantastic pet sitter! She's dog sat for my Border Collie several times and he loves her. She treats animals with respect and love, so you can feel good about leaving your fur babies in her care.
