“Nora is a fantastic pet sitter. She's conscientious, detailed, and compassionate. My cat got some dental work done just before our trip. Nora was incredibly diligent with his extra care needs. I highly recommend booking Nora for cat/house sitting.”

“Nina was great. She stayed at our house for the week with our two dogs and you could tell by the pics they loved being with her. When we got home music was playing and the bed was stripped and in laundry. Would highly recommend.”


“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.
“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”

“Drake was great to have as a house sitter for our two pups. At the initial meeting the dogs went right up to him. He spent some time getting to know them. While we were gone Drake would text anytime he had a question. Hire him for any dog care you may have”


About: I have two dogs with two different personalities one a pit and one a golden retriever. I’ve had my golden retriever since he was a baby and always take care of Him and his special diet and his special walking I bathe him and take care of him any type of way. I love animals with all my heart I go to school from 7am-1pm so after that time I am free. im an active person so I love to spend quality time with dogs and animals I have 2 very friendly dogs. My back yard isn’t fenced in but we do have 50ft to 100ft leashes for them to be able to play outside
“Sara was amazing!! I would recommend 100%. I had to go out of town for work and my usual sitter canceled. I connected with Sara and she gladly took on my puppy and older dog. She updated me throughout my trip about the boys and ensured that they were well taken care of. Will definitely book again!! She’s honestly awesome!!”

“Kim was great with my pups. she went above and beyond. during her stay she encountered a snow storm which she still drove through to care for the pups and also cleaned an area of snow for the pups in the back yard.. She kept me up to date on daily happening. I would recommend Kim 100% she is great.”

“Carol has been one of the absolute best pet sitters we have ever worked with. She has amazing experience working with dog rescues and a genuine love for animals that is clear to see. She is reliable, trust worthy, and an excellent communicator before and during the pet sitting. We have an English bulldog and a basset hound both of which can be quite stubborn and high maintenance and her expert level experience shows in caring for them. Thank you Carol, you are the best!”

“Delaney took great care of my girl! She sent lots of pictures so I could see how my girl was doing, and she was very happy. Then when I got home, my house was clean. I will definitely hire Delaney again.”

“Kathryn is awesome!!!! My husband and I had a bad experience with Rover last June with another sitter and haven’t traveled since. After moving to Connecticut, we decided to give it a shot and test it out again for one night. Kathryn was so kind, polite and reassuring that all will be well after listening to our horrid experience last year. She offered two visits before the actual sitting just to get to know our Pep and us. She always showed up the time she said she would. Pep warmed up to her quickly. Dogs know :) During the sitting, she sent multiple updates and went above and beyond. She did everything she could to make sure pep was accommodated and comfortable! She also respected our home and left it as she found it. Will definitely be booking Kathryn again. We can’t thank you enough”

“We just came back from our first vacation in years and Jessica was a huge reason our trip was great. We have two dogs we care deeply for and boarding them for just a weekend was stressful… and expensive! Our older dog has incredible anxiety every time we leave. So we decided to give Rover a try and we’re very happy we did. We met with a couple of sitters before our trip and Jessica impressed us with her flexibility and professionalism so we asked her to dogsit for the three nights we were away. She was great with our dogs and cared for them the way we wanted. In addition, she sent us pictures and texts with updates on the dogs. She made a great impression and completely sold us on Rover. I now feel confident that we can take more relaxing vacations knowing how well she took care of our dogs! I couldn’t have asked for more.”

About: I have pet sat and walked other’s dogs for about three years now. I have had healthy relationships with all the dogs I care for. It brings me joy to connect with dogs while bettering their health! Pet care takes first priority for me. I am very flexible and eager to meet new animal friends. I am available during all days of the week! I do not currently care for pets at my home, however, I will care for all pets like they’re my own. I strive to developing trust with all my clients.
About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a puppy and two orange cats with varying needs, including medical care and anxiety management. I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and recognizing individual pet personalities. My experience with an anxious cat taught me to be patient and observant while creating calm, structured environments. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated throughout their time away. I work remotely Monday-Friday on a flexible but structured schedule (7am-4pm or 10am-6pm), which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my work day. Remote work means I can provide local visits and midday check-ins, and I’m particularly well-suited for pets with medical needs or anxiety that benefit from frequent attention and stability. I’m detail-oriented, punctual, and follow your instructions precisely. I am especially attuned to anxious pets or those with medical needs. I watch for common behavioral and health changes, communicate regularly with updates, and treat every pet like family.

About: I am currently studying Animal Science at my university. I am hoping to become a vet one day, so getting the opportunity to practice what I've been taught with your pet will be very beneficial to my carreer going forward! I also had a 15 year old black lab that had a couple of health issues, I was able to give her adequate care for her remaining years. I'm currently a college student studying Animal Science, on a summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Whenever you need me, I will be there. I'm also willing to work weekends and nights! I will make sure your pet is well feed, groomed and have frequent bathroom breaks. I will also take them to the dog park or even on car rides! My studies have also taught me what to look for if your animal isn't feeling well or is in distress, along with how to properly treat them if necessary.
About: I had a childhood cat named Sophie since I was born. We grew up together and she was definitely the reason I knew I wanted to work with animals because I enjoyed helping them so much. I have experience in an extremely busy environment both at an ER and at a dog daycare. I loved working at the Vet and can’t wait to get back to it! I’m on a break from school and want to keep working with animals but give myself a small break from schoolwork and animals are the best mental health tool. I can’t wait to get to know your baby and create a safe, fun and loving environment for them. I am currently on a break from college until I go do my practicum experience at Penn vet hospital is philly. I’m not working during the days right now, I spend them with my cat and would enjoy having a fun baby to take a walk with or just play with! I have a long haired tuxedo cat named juliet. When i’m home from school we have a lot of fun during the day since my family works. She’s so sweet and never fails to make me laugh or to catch random zoomies mid nap. I feed her in the mornings and clean her litter box during the day.

Plainville pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is my first time using Rover or requesting dog sitting and I wasn’t sure if someone would care for not 2, but 3 little dogs for one day… especially my first dog who barks anlot and is reactive a lot to the point when I worry he may not like anyone except family. Well, color me surprised when Drake came to meet and great the day before the booking and my 1yr Chipin took a quick liking to him and the other two! Drake was very professional and kept me up to date on the dogs and didn’t hesitate to ask questions and reply in a timely manner . He respected not only me, but my dogs and home. He was very flexible if something came up on my end and I appreciate the photo updates of my dogs snuggling up with him because I knew they were taken well care for. Thank you again and I will definitely hire again!

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Georgie and Hopie Nora! From the videos and photos that you shared, they were very happy you were here with them! Nora has wonderful communication and she checked in when she arrived and throughout her visit. Everything in my home was taken well care of and I will definitely book with Nora again.

Ashley did an amazing job dog sitting Robin!! She has great communication skills and sent so many good photos. This was our first time going on a long vacation without Robin so I was a little anxious about leaving her but she was in great hands with Ashley! She also did some care for my bearded dragon & followed those instructions perfectly! 10/10 would recommend:)

Brianna took such great care of my dog! She asked great questions during the meet and greet to get to know my dog’s personality. I could tell my pup was well cared for in my absence. She took her on walks, played with her, and gave her lots of pets and cuddles. I’d highly recommend Brianna!
