“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”

“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”

“My shy senior cat Norman rarely trusts someone new as quickly as he did Lark. It was such a relief knowing he was not only in good hands, but enjoying cuddles, toys, brushing, and thoughtful care. That's a 10/10, from Norman and me.”

“Rachel was wonderful! She was so sweet and compassionate to my sometimes crazy boy. I received daily check-ins/photos, she was communicative, and took great care of my apartment. I can tell that she truly loves animals and was always very kind to me as well. I highly recommend Rachel, your pets will be in good hands.”

“Crystal was amazing! Took the best care of my dog and cat while I was away, sent a bunch of photos and updates throughout the day of their adventures, and kept the house in lovely condition. I could tell she vacuumed before heading out which I SO appreciated when I got home from my trip! I’ll definitely be booking with her again if she’s available. Thank you Crystal, Pretzel and Beans miss you!”


“Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!”


“Dakotah took time for a meet and greet and had great communication. He took good care of our two pups and left our home nice and clean. We would definitely reach out again next time we are looking for a sitter!”


About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.
“Joseph was great! He was very communicative and helped us negotiate a schedule change without any worries. Joseph was flexible and the dogs loved having him here!”

“Carly was so incredibly helpful when our cat had some last-minute needs requiring medication administration and an adjustment to our schedule. Carly was communicative and accommodating and sent lots of reassuring updates and photos. Our cats are clearly very comfortable with Carly and we are so happy to have a such a trusted, capable, and kind sitter!”

“Lillian stayed at our house for six nights with our senior pup who needs extra care and attention. Prior to her stay we had meet and greets and were immediately comfortable with her. Walter (our pup) loved her from the start. While we were away she provided lovely daily updates and photos. We arrived home to a happy pup and very clean house. Lillian is kind, communicative and sweet. We highly recommend her!”

“Chardonay and Ben were fantastic with our pups! They gave updates throughout the day with lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my reactive pup in their care. Both puppies were tired when we got home and the house was so tidy!”

“Chad is awesome! He stayed with our two energetic dogs for 2.5 weeks while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a ridiculously clean house. He was happy to meet the dogs before hand and do a few walks and kept in touch to let us know the babies were safe and sound. I would definitely recommend using him!”
“Heidi was awesome with our kitty cat Stitch! Daily updates and pictures, super loving to our boy and left everything spotless at the house. Stitch seemed so happy and relaxed upon our return which was such a pleasant surprise since he tends to get stressed when we travel. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to book with Heidi again in the future.”

“Anna was able to watch my kitty last minute and on a holiday. She was very professional, great communication, sent me lots of pictures, and would love to have her back any time. :)”


“Brianna made us feel so comfortable leaving our home and pup in her care while we were away for the weekend. She provided updates on how things were going and took excellent care of everything. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Portsmith pet parents share their Rover experiences
Makenna house sat with my two dogs (one is a puppy!) and I was very pleased with her service. She was able to stick to their specific diet, and routines. I was particular with how to handle my new puppy, and wanted to make sure her routine and training was consistent. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, I returned and it was just as I left it. She was very communicative, gave me updates, and I was very impressed with her ability to handle both my older dog, and puppy at the same time.

Lark is AMAZING! They took such great care of our floofs, from a pre-vacation meet & greet to regular updates while we were away, Lark was such a treat to work with. Definitely pet (and their people) approved…we’ll definitely use them against would HIGHLY recommend!
Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

Finding Lily was a blessing to us! She took a stay on semi-short notice and was extremely accommodative to both our busy schedule and our dogs active lifestyle. We never had to worry with her constant check-ins and photos, her communication was great. When we arrived home it was extremely clean and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to recommend Lily to any of our friends with dogs for her services. We look forward to her next stay with our pup!

Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!

James is amazing. I booked him last minute due to a family emergency. He came over, met my pup and I felt totally at ease leaving my senior pup with him. He stayed at my house for 4 nights while I was away and he checked in with me, sent me photos and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I came home to clean and tidy home and well taken care of pup. I would definitely book James again to dog sit. He was communicative, and great with my dog.
I had a last minute thing come up and needed care for both of my dogs for a week. I am always a bit nervous to have a new sitter for longer dog sitting, but Hailey was wonderful!! She was very communicative and my dogs looked like they were having the time of their lives. Definitely recommend her!
