“Mary was an amazing pet sitter to our dog. She sent photos and videos daily. I could tell by the videos and photos that our dog was very well taken care of while we were away and it took the stress out of traveling, knowing that she was in such good hands. I would definitely have Mary back to pet sit. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing!!!! Absolutely amazing. Doggies were so happy and tails wagging when we came back from our trip. House was left clean and as we left it. We came back worry free and for me that is HUGE! Extremely happy and grateful. Thank you Samantha!”


About: Even before my family adopted our beloved cat, Tiger, and dog, Uschi, — who lived to be 17 and 18 years old respectively — I was my neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter starting at age 8. As an avid traveler, I have understand how stressful it is to leave your beloved furry family behind, especially when they have special needs. Whether leaving town for a well-earned vacation or tending to urgent family matters, it’s imperative to have peace of mind that your pet is in loving, caring hands. I provided solo care for my geriatric cat and dog in the final year of their lives and truly experienced the range of treatment requirements that often occur. Without the trusted help of family and friends, it would have been impossible to take necessary work trips during that time and I seek to provide the same care to whomever I can. While this stage of my life doesn’t allow me have another cat or dog, I hope that I can bring my skills to help your family when you need! I am in a transitory period between jobs (overseas) and am thus at the disposal of your pets’ requirements. Every animal requires different intervals of care and I can accommodate almost anything. I can do just about anything your pet needs: crating, administering meds, putting a diaper and suspenders on (as I did for my sweet dog)… you name it, I have either done it or can easily learn. It is important that their routine and care continues even in your absence!

“Ashley was available to watch our dog when we made last minute changes to our plans and needed to be away for an extra night. She was wonderful with Maisie. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how Maisie was doing. Maisie was very well cared for. We'd highly recommend Ashley and have already asked her to watch Maisie again in the future.”


“Shea was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Shea is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Shea again!”


“sarah was wonderful! she sent me pictures and updates every day! i came home to my apartment exactly as i left it, and i felt like my animals were very well taken care of.”


“Sophie took great care of our animals and home. She is very responsive, provides detailed updates and our animals looked like they had a great time with her. We will absolutely be booking Sophie again, she was a delight to work with.”


About: I have knowledge and experience handling various animals from small to large dogs and even working line dogs. I have been a veterinary technician for 5 years and focused in areas such as general practice and emergency. In my current career I specialize in rabbits and rodents as they hold a dear place in my heart. I have experience with fearful dogs/cats and hyperactive pets. I have knowledge in care requirements for the following species due to working in the veterinary field: rabbits, hamsters, rats/mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and gerbils. I also am experienced and able to care for special needs pets whether if they need medications, a special diet, or have special bathroom requirements. I currently work full-time, but love working with animals during my free time. I’m available on the weekends with little restrictions and during the evenings of the week (Monday-Friday) after 3pm. I update my availability on the calendar every month, one month at a time. I encourage meet and greets prior to confirming a booking to ensure you, your pet(s), and I are a great match. It’s also a great way to do introductions and get to know your and your pet prior to a booking. Meet and greets are free of charge. In my home, I do have small animals (rabbits), but they have their own private space. Your pet will be able to lounge in the main living areas with no disruption from other animals. I do require dogs to be crate trained in cases or urgencies. My yard is not completely fenced, however this doesn’t deter your pet from being able to enjoy the outdoors as they are constantly supervised and on leash. I also live nearby many parks and aim to provide ample exercise for them in those areas. In the client’s home, I can follow specific directions you may have regarding your pet and any questions on my end will always be relayed to you to avoid confusion.


“Jessica was absolutely amazing! We were nervous to leave our pup for the first time (we were away for 8 days)-she made us feel so comfortable and at ease right away. Every day we received at least 10-20 pictures of our dog Artie. She treated him like her family:) He enjoyed walks/hikes and even introduced him to her dog and they immediately became best friends. I will definitely use her in the future. Thank you so much Jessica!!!”


About: I have taken care of 3 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 30 years and provide service in Naples FL and in Boston MA I am available Thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside

“Heather and Greg were great with our two giant rescue pups. Heather stayed with them overnight for 10 days, and one of them was sad not to see her the first night we were back (looking for her in the guest room!). Hope to have them take care of pups again. Highly recommend this team to take care of your beloved family member pups.”


About: I’ve had all kinds of different dogs and cats throughout my life and am part of a big family which has the same, let alone my animal sitting experience with ages ranging from babies to some senior pups. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love:) I’m currently working part time while finishing my college degree, but definitely have time to meet some new furry friends! Look forward to meeting you and your fluff ball and being able to provide some extra love to your fur pets!:) I think it’s important to get to know your pets needs and I understand the importance of consistency for fur babies. Willing to do whatever makes you and your fur baby most comfortable while providing some extra love and pets:)

“Alyssa was wonderful! She watched my dog overnight and gave frequent updates. She was flexible with timing, and I came home to a clean house and happy dog. I would absolutely recommend Alyssa and plan to book her again.”


“Sarah is amazing! My dogs are both anxious weirdos and my elderly cat is on two different medications, and Sarah was great with all of them. She’s very professional, a great communicator, and left the house super clean. Definitely recommend her!”


About: Hello! My name is Talia, and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of experience. I understand how important it is to find the right caregiver for your pets. I’ve been a proud cat parent for 14 years, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and recognizing signs of illness. Your cat will feel at home with me. I have also had the pleasure of looking after numerous dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm senior dog, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I am passionate about ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and safe. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently in between jobs, so I am available most days and most times. I will start working part-time towards the end of July, so I will be available part-time then. I will respect your home security by locking doors and windows as required and never sharing keys or access codes. I will follow your pet’s usual routines and schedules to reduce stress. I will provide regular updates, including photos, so you can see how your pet is doing. I will ensure your place remains as clean and tidy as when you left.

Poquonock pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jordyn is INCREDIBLE! She is so sweet and kind loving. Took my little puppy on nonstop adventures and he had the best day and night with her. He was sad when she left even! Is very responsible and has a great connection with dogs. Will be using her long term bc she’s excellent!

As first timers with Rover, we were so fortunate to have found Melissa to watch our puppy. Her communication was excellent (loved the pics, videos and updates!) and she navigated a few obstacles with ease and a great attitude. We’ve already booked her for our next family trip! Thank you, Melissa!
