About: As a child, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. As an adult, I have vast experience caring for animals. For 25 years, I did pet sitting and house sitting in the Boston area before moving to Puerto Rico 13 years ago. The first month I lived there, I found a box of kittens in the road. I have been a rescuer since, being one of few who take on the most challenging cases. I have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs and cats over the years and I have seen it all. Nothing intimidates me or grosses me out. I will give baths, dispense medications, clean up accidents, whatever is needed. I am 58 years old and am very reliable and trustworthy. I am 58 years old and do not work anymore so my availability is wide open. I do sometimes go to Puerto Rico where I am in the process of selling my home but the dates for those trips are flexible. I generally find that caring for pets in their own home is ideal as they really do appreciate routine, stability, and a familiar environment. However, I am certainly willing to care for them in my home as well and offer a fully fenced in back yard for dogs. There is an 11 lb dog at my house but he is used to cats and dogs coming and going so he should not pose a problem (or I can separate them, if preferred). In terms of routine, I am willing to adapt to whatever you have established and have no problem with giving medications, baths, or any other special care needed. With 13 years of rescuing in Puerto Rico and 25 years of pet care before that, I have seen it all (and nothing grosses me out!). If you like frequent updates and photos, no problem. If you like to relax and not think about home when you are away, no problem. Your beloved pets are in safe, loving hands.
“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free. Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“James and Mallory did a wonderful job making my dog and I feel comfortable. It was the first time I left her with anyone and they made sure that we did a meet and greet as they have two dogs of their own. She appeared very comfortable with them. They sent me pictures while I was away and that enabled me to relax and enjoy my vacation.”

“Sarah is the best. This is our second time booking Sarah and the experience was once again wonderful. She was so communicative and sent incredible pictures. When we went to pick up our dog he was so happy he barely wanted to leave. Thank you Sarah for taking such incredible care of our dog!!!”
“Brenda was great with my dog. She was friendly, communicative, and very flexible. I loved that she gave me many updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Brenda!”
About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.
About: I grew up with dogs and love all animals. We have 2 guinea pigs in our home. And 2 dogs thatare with us sometimes. They do not need to be there when we have other animals over. We would like to make time away from family easier on pets by welcoming them into our family for a bit. Thank you!! I work from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days. I would like to do pet care part time. I am able to walk animals outside or play with them inside. I have a yard with a dog line and we live at a dead end with walking trails 3 houses away. It is a very pet friendly neighborhood with not much traffic passing my home.
About: Growing up I used to help take care of my family’s cat and would frequently watch my neighbor’s dogs and cats. My family and I were unable to have a dog growing up, so I throughly enjoy the chance to be able to watch and take care of yours. I also have experience volunteering at nursing homes and being involved with Big Brother. I currently work full time, however I have a very flexible work schedule. This gives me great flexibility to watch your dog/ cat. I am also available potentially overnights on evenings. While I do not have the capability to watch pets in my home, I do have the knowledge and experience to watch them in yours.
“My dog Miko seems to have enjoyed his stay at Sara's place. He came back all relaxed, complete opposite experience of leaving him in a pet hotel where he came back agitated for many days. Sara's place is perfect with a big fenced garden so he could play freely with her dog and others. I can only recommend her.”
“Forough and Amir took wonderful and thoughtful care of our dog. They were also quick to respond to any questions and we appreciated their flexibility with timing.”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”

Pat was a great petsitter for my little dog. She is very friendly and calm. We had a nice and thorough meet and greet at her house and went over my pup’s information. I provided some written info about my dog’s routines with feeding, meds etc that Pat was attentive to. My dog loved staying at Pat’s home, especially lying in the sunshine napping! I knew she was in good hands during the three days away, which allowed me to have a great trip. Pat’s husband was also very nice and my pup loved him too. I got a photo update each morning with a text about what Pat & my dog had been up to together. The one time my dog exhibited an unusual behavior (just instinctively trying to cover her food to save it for later!), Pat sent me a quick video to ask about it, which made me feel good about the care my dog was receiving. Overall I was totally happy with our experience having Pat petsit. We look forward to using her when I have to travel again soon and I recommend her without reservation. Thanks very much Pat!
Neeru and her family watched our 1.5 year old mini-poodle for one week and were absolutely wonderful. Neeru sent us plenty of pictures for peace of mind, and each picture proved that our puppy was well cared for, even pampered. We will definitely book with Neeru again and would recommend her services to anyone.
Lindsey was great! She gave us consistent updates throughout the week while we were away. She allowed us to do a meet and greet prior to leaving our dog with her. That allowed us to make sure it was a good fit! We had such a relaxing vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!

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 .
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.
