“Can I give a 15 Star Review? This was my first time with Madison watching my cat. My cat, who won't even sit on MY lap was in her lap! Clearly a cat-person! But that is not the best part of Madison. We were away for 10 days on a cruise in the middle of a snow storm and very cold weather. Madison noticed it was cold in the house and let me know. As we were trying to trouble shoot, she rebooted my NEST twice and recharged it! Digger was in totally awesome hands! Madison went truly above and beyond, including checking on my cat extra to make sure the heat was still on. Can't tell you how great it was to have her looking after my soft furry friend!”
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.
“Our scheduled pet sitter canceled and in desperation, I searched the internet and found Rover. I sent out my request and in minutes James responded. I was instantly relieved. He came over to visit us before leaving for vacation to meet us and our pets. James administered medication and took wonderful care of our 4 cats and dog. We are super grateful for all the help and services James provided us. We will definitely rebook again!!!”
“Julianne was wonderful! My kitties ended up warming right up to her and they were happy to have her around. She was very good at keeping me updated and sent me lots of photos. Highly recommended and will absolutely use her again if she's available! ?”
“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”
“The cats get more and more comfortable each time she comes to care for them. I am so grateful I found Amanda who loves them like they are her own. She definitely will not disappoint you, she is a one of a kind.”
“Haley was amazing! We were so happy our little cat (who is basically our baby) was so loved and cared for when we were away! Haley was very kind and even stopped by the week before pet sitting to meet Eleven and get a run down of her needs. She took great care of our little Eleven and sent us the best videos and photos each day. She was even thoughtful enough to ask if our plant needed watering. We would recommend Haley to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets and we are happy we now have someone we can trust to take care of ours!”
“We are so grateful to have found Haleigh S. to do drop ins for our very social kitty while we were away. Haleigh S. provided thoughtful, detailed Rover cards and pictures and we could tell our kitty loved getting to spend that time with her. We loved the souvenir polaroid waiting for us when we returned home. We will definitely reach out to Haleigh S. for our future drop in needs.”
“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.”
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: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, my whole life, and I have always taken care of them, one way or another. There’s nothing like unconditional love of a pet or a fur a baby. My schedule has changed I am working three days a week now pet sitting is a team effort with my partner so one of us will always be home to take care of a dog or cats. Live on a dead end road that is safe. Would also meet with your pet and find out what their habits and likes are what works best for them would always have them on a leash and make sure they’re safe.
“Absolutely delighted with James’ calm, reliable and kind care for a kitty who can register as a bit resentful over having been left behind. He has been unphased by Roxanne’s cool reception, and, after three visits, has earned her (and my) high regard and sincere trust. Grateful for James’ resourcefulness and respect for Roxanne’s deceptively independent spirit - she (and I) appreciate that he treats her as a kitty who deserves the very best care. Highly, highly recommend this talented cat-whisperer!”
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!
“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!”
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.
“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 :)”

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!!
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!!
