“Kristen was a great sitter for our cat Kelly while we were away! She was efficient with communication, professional and kept us updated throughout. We really appreciated her care.”

“James is great! Very good communication. Took care of my 3 kitties for the weekend and everything went really smoothly. I will definitely hire him again! Thank you James!”
“We had a great experience with Natalee! She was wonderful with all of our cats, including our more shy kitties, and did a fantastic job keeping up with multiple feeding schedules, different types of food, and medications. She really took the time to get to know each cat’s personality and play style, which we appreciated so much. We also loved all the pictures and updates from each visit — it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Natalee and would use definitely her again!”
“Absolutely love Cody! She always takes such wonderful care of my leopard gecko and super senior (almost 19!) kitty. I am impressed every time and just adore all of the pictures sent!”
“We absolutely love having Madison watch Sprout! We use her every time we’re away and always feel completely comfortable knowing Sprout is in such good hands. She’s reliable, caring, and always takes such great care of her. We never have to worry while we’re gone, and Sprout is always happy when we get home! We highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. 🐱💗”
“James took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is shy and the other is very needy, and James was incredibly patient with both of them. He was also super communicative and sent regular updates throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind. It was a huge relief to know my cats were in such caring hands. We're so grateful and will definitely be booking James again!”
About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.
“Jessica took great care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very professional and reliable, and the kitties enjoyed her company — even the timid one! Thanks again!”
“Sammi took excellent care of my two cats!- she was able to accommodate my request despite it being last-minute (which i try to avoid, but can happen!). She communicated very well & followed all my ridiculously detailed instructions! Definitely would recommend her to other pet owners 😊”
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 currently work full time in Dover, NH and bring my dog Poppy into the office with me. 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.
About: Dogs were my first love. I've cared for dogs young and old, adopted and fostered dogs, raised puppies, provided training at all ages, and provided post-op and healthcare for unwell dogs. I have extensive experience loving and supporting dogs through their toughest moments, including separation anxiety, phobias, and illnesses. I've walked with pups from all paws of life - all breeds, ages, energies, and personalities - and loved them all!! All dogs are wonderful, and I will never, ever discriminate by breed. As a full-time dog pamperer, I've got plenty of attention, love, toys, and fluffy blankets to keep your furbaby happy and loved while you are away! I will love your dog exactly as they are - high-energy, low-energy, and everything in between. Whether they want endless walks or endless snuggles, I am excited to make your dog's stay an unforgettable getaway just for them! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your best friend. I'm happy to go above and beyond to make you feel confident that your pet is in good hands - from photos and updates to video check-ins. Your comfort matters to me just as much as your furbaby's. I always provide top-tier pet care, giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest! I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I am delighted to accommodate your furbaby anytime with enough notice. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays, any time of year. My dog is the center of my universe, and I will treat your pup like they were my own! My house is their house, and my furniture is their furniture! My wonderful 9-year-old dog, Cleo, will be happy to keep your furbaby company. She's super friendly, low-energy, and always eager for a cuddle. I have access to a private dog park, an unfenced yard, and easy access to nearby nature trails, parks, and beaches! I can't wait to meet your furbaby!
“Veska took such great care with our 16 year old dachshund. She went above and beyond to walk and feed Sweetpea. We highly recommend the dog care service that Veska provides.”
About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.
About: I have had pets my entire life. Currently I have two cats but have had dogs as well. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all sizes, medication giving, walks, and food prep. I have also watched cats while friends have gone away many times. I'm recently laid off so I have full availability at the moment. I can be available morning, afternoons, or nights any day of the week. I can come to your home as I live in an apartment and would like to respect my cats’ space. I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my own with all the care, love, and respect they deserve.
About: Growing up on a farm has given me an immense amount of pet care experience. I have been an avid horseback rider my entire life. There are few animals I haven’t owned. I have managed a doggy daycare as well as trained dogs in obedience and for hunting birds. Anytime after 530 Tuesday through Friday I am available for walks or checking in on your pet. Friday night through Monday afternoon my schedule is flexible. I am a vigilant and aware pet sitter. Our home is on a quiet street and the backyard, while not fenced, is majorly closed in.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portsmouth
Jesse was absolutely amazing with our kitty, Sprout! 🐱💗 She gave her so much love and attention, played with her constantly, and made sure she was never bored or lonely. We also got SO many photos and regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much Jesse genuinely cared about Sprout, and we came home to a very happy kitty! We would absolutely have Jesse watch Sprout again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring pet sitter! 🥰
Absolutely wonderful with my small herd of cats, with both the good stuff (e.g. playing with them) and the less food stuff (e.g. giving paste wrapped pill to a mostly-good albeit sometimes-grumpy patient, day and night). Communication is fantastic and I massively appreciate the cooperation with all their personalities, and especially since I had to extend my stay an extra day). I missed my furballs but they were clearly enjoying the interactions, and the shyest even came out of her shell and joined in vs watching from a short distance of halfway up the stairs). Thank you SO much!
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!
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!!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet .
