“Eko and Sarah are the very best. I usually board my dog for vacations and it gives me so much anxiety I decided to try rover and what a huge difference they made. I enjoyed my vacation with cute updates on my dog instead of anxiously checking on her knowing she’d go on a hunger strike at the boarding facility.”
“Rebecka is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She cared well for our anxious senior pup and made decisions in Mellows best interest 100% of the time. Rebecka is terrific! 100/100 recommend her-”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our pup and two cats. She was punctual, communicative, and overall great to work with. I know our animals appreciated having her here while we were gone and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter while away!”
About: Hi there!😊 My name is Sarah and I currently reside in Rutland MA. Although I am brand new to this app, I am very excited and looking forward to meeting your pets, and sharing this experience with them! My personal experience in caring for dogs has been pet sitting/walking for family, friends, and coworkers. I have also worked in doggy daycare, and so I am very comfortable with many different types, sizes and breeds of dogs. I understand every dog is different, and unique in there own ways. So my priority is making sure your pets needs are met, with the attention, care and love they deserve. I am working part time but I am available every weekday from 10:30am 2pm. Also, 5pm-7pm. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday afternoons. As a dedicated pet sitter, I always start by showering your pets with affection! Following this warm greeting, I tailor our time together to meet their needs, whether that involves taking them outside or going for a walk. Upon our return, I can either feed them or engage in some fun playtime, depending on the schedule and your pet’s preferences. I pride myself on being flexible and collaborative, so I'm here to work with you to ensure that your furry companions receive the exceptional care they deserve!
“Thank you Sarah for taking such great care of our girl. We came home to a very happy girl. We received lots of updates and photos. This was Sarah’s first stay with Sadie, but definitely won’t be the last!”
“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“It’s difficult for me to find the words for this review. While we were away one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Because of Bill’s dedication, careful monitoring, and experience I was able to get home in time to say goodbye to my boy. Without Bill and his care for our fur babies I would not have made it home in time and my boy would have been in prolonged pain and stress. As well as sound decision making he then made sure our other dog was emotionally supported by spending an extended amount of time with her until we could get home. Bill remained in constant communication with us, our emergency contact, and the medical staff. His exceptional communication skills helped us orient ourselves to the seriousness and make informed decisions from an ocean away. He went well above and beyond his job description of being a dog sitter and was just an incredible person and support. Bill is the standard for pet care and is the best option for owners who deeply value their pets.”
“Fiorella was a wonderful caretaker for our three dogs and home while we were away. She sent regular photos and followed all instructions thoroughly. Also left the house nice and clean!”
“11/10 500 stars, Haleigh took great care of our cats and our home during recent house sitting. Appreciated our initial in person visit to go over routine, and then photo/video updates, initial clarifying questions and keeping in touch about snow storm and all the wonderful cat updates while we were away.”
“We hired Mackenna to stay overnight with our cats and she was great! Very communicative, fast to respond, sent lots of pics, and took great care of our pets and the place.”
“Danielle was amazing! Our pets didn’t want us to come home! We have a doggy who needs extra attention and Danielle was so good with her. She gave amazing updates along the trip. Highly recommend!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
“Logan is the best cat sitter I have hired and this was our 3rd in-house stay with him! Not only is he attentive to my socially needy cat, he keeps me informed of what's going on so I don't have to worry at all. He recently stayed in our house for a week while we were abroad. I felt very comfortable with him there. He always leaves the house very clean and Leo seems to love him. I am thrilled that we found Logan!”

Lindsey did a great job taking care of our pup and two cats. She was punctual, communicative, and overall great to work with. I know our animals appreciated having her here while we were gone and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter while away!
We left our dogs for a week long trip and booked Lindsey for house sitting/drop in visits. She went above and beyond to care for our boys doing more visits than we asked, taking them on walks and providing them daily stimulation while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and was very respectful of our home. I would highly recommend!
Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat! I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!
