“We were grateful to have Alexa M. drop in daily on our kitty while we were away after a last minute cancellation. Alexa M. is easy to communicate with and took great care of our very social and playful kitty.”
About: I have had a variety of animals all my life and currently have a cat and dog! I’m a fast walker, and used to dogs that pull on the leash. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for animals. I am a very outdoorsy person, so we are always outside with our hound, Pippin. I have a small fenced in yard, a young playful dog with LOADS of energy, and a convenient walking trail seconds from my back door!
“An absolute stellar sitter. My cat is on tube feeding, which can be time consuming and complicated, and Nicole went above and beyond. She really cared so well for my kitty. 10/10 recommend!”
“Madison was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our kitten absolutely loved her. We also received wonderful photos that made us feel like we were right there with her. Highly recommend!”
“Mirina was a great sitter for our cat Pebble, over a long weekend and snow storm! She was reliable, trustworthy, and dependable. We felt comfortable knowing Pebble would be in great caring hands. It was great to receive regular updates and see how happy Pebble was with her through pictures and videos.”
“Justina took great care of my cats while I was gone. She did daily check ins at my house, gave them so much love and attention, and sent me daily photos and updates. I will definitely be booking again for future trips.”
“Riley was just who we needed to watch our cat Kelly for a few weeks while we were away! She was tentative and always gave us updates on how things were going. We will definitely use Riley again for when other sitter needs come up :)”
“Kristen was communicative and just an overall great experience. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and made me feel completely at ease. Would definitely recommend”
“We couldn't be happier with Chris and the wonderful job they did caring for our two cats! They took notes during our meet up and immediately clicked with the cats (which means they are an expert at reading those sometimes subtle cat body cues). We really appreciated their comfort and confidence caring for the cats, including one who requires daily meds. They sent daily pictures and updates, gave the cats plenty of love and attention, and we returned to a very neat, tidy house and two happy kitties! We are looking forward to their next stay!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful taking care of our fur babies. She was always very timely and thorough on feedback of what was going on and sent great pictures every day.”
“Kate is wonderful! Super friendly and was really helpful when I needed someone for the holiday weekend. Potter loved her and I hope she loved him! She sent pictures every visit which I love. She even washed the dishes that she used 🙌🏼 would love to have Kate back again!”
“Gavin took care of my six year old orange tabby for approximately two weeks. This was my first experience with Rover. In fact, when I first registered with Rover and started searching for house sitters with availability, I contacted Gavin in error. (Technology is not my strong suit). Gavin was gracious and kind in responding to my newbie error. When I intentionally reached out to him to see if he was interested in setting up a meet and greet, he responded in a timely manner, as he did with all of our communications. While away, I received daily updates and pictures, detailing their breakfasts together, bonding on the couch during football games, etc. Gavin’s notes were warm, sincere and always included great pictures of his charge. He always responded quickly to my comments/questions from his updates. Gavin was extremely responsible and trustworthy during his time in our home. He tidied up, above and beyond, when his time with my cat wrapped up. I would absolutely recommend him for pet sitting, whether staying in your home or stopping by for feedings/walks/litter box/etc. I hope Gavin will be available to care for my cat in the future.”
About: Hi! my name is Ally! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Dalmatians to Jack Russell’s. I started volunteering at the NHSPCA in high school and discovered my love for helping & animals. I am a registered nurse and looking to fuel my hobby spending time with animals. I am an active individual who can exercise pets that have high energy, as well as care for pets who prefer more down time. I live in a great walking area and can take dogs for multiple walks throughout the day. My family had a 12 year old blind Jack Russell named Sherman who was not friendly to other animals while we were growing up, so I am used to dogs on the more complicated side. I believe every animal deserves love and attention and I hope to provide that! My schedule is flexible on the weekends. I work full time but am home by 5pm so ai can do evenings as well. I love to keep animals in their routines. Even if it’s just being with them at home. I am a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who cares a considerable amount for all animals. I will happily care for them like my own.
About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.

Sylvie provided great care for our cat Mucca, keeping her happy and entertained while we were away for a pretty long time. She was very quick to respond to schedule and also made sure to share a detailed review card for each visit. We were lucky to have Sylvie watch Mucca and will be reaching out to her for future care!
I was so happy to have Justina care for my now four little "neurotic" kitties again! They all loved her coming in for feeding and extra playtime. And I'm jealous of the great pics she was able to get of them every day when they never let me take a photo! :) Even my youngest, stranger-skittish tortie girl magically warmed up after 2 days, when I'm still working on getting her to get used to my Dad recurring visits! Justina is great with communicating to me and following my sometimes overly detailed guidance text with companion photos. Thank you SO much from me and all four kitties (even the one who needed the most meds 😁 )
Very Happy with Morgan and her visits with Trinity. Absolutely wonderful! she took amazing care of my cat while I was away — sending regular updates, photos, and making sure everything was exactly as I’d asked. Trinity felt super comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Morgan was always prompt, dependable, and always communicated promptly, which gave me great peace of mind. I came home to a happy pet and a tidy house — couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank You!!
Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.
Amanda went above and beyond! We have already booked her for another vacation for watch our pets! One needed some medication and she was willing to give it no problem. She spent plenty of time with them and sent lots of photos, and even kept the place clean for us which we didn’t expect. Thank you Amanda for an amazing job!
Kate was wonderful with our three kitties. We had never worked with her before, and she was able to handle a complex situation that that involved medications with one of our kitties who is healing from a foot injury. She was also available on very short notice which was a huge relief to us. Her communication was excellent, and her enthusiasm and care for animals is immediately apparent. We highly recommend Kate and we’re so glad we have met her!!
