“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was quick to update and respond with communication and I returned to a happy and healthy cat 😊 Thank you Grace!”
“Jackson was great! Followed instructions easily. Took care of our 3 cats and gave our oldest cat his insulin shot! He was there exactly when you needed to be each visit. Thank you Jackson!”
“Julie is fabulous! I am so very happy to have found her on Rover! I wanted someone who knew cats, who lived nearby, who did not charge an arm and a leg, who had a reasonable cancellation policy, and, of course, who was responsible. Well, I won the lottery with Julie! Yes, I did! Julie is fabulous, absolutely FABULOUS! From the very start (and throughout the entire time), Julie was fast to respond to my requests, my questions, my texts, etc. It was clear that she wanted to ensure we were on the same page, from the beginning, and that we remained on the same page throughout. Outstanding! And, since my schedule often changes, sometimes at the very last minute, her reasonable cancellation policy will not cause me to hesitate to enlist her services again and again. And, since my cat pretty much goes into hiding whenever I am away, caring for my cat becomes simple, easy, and quick - clean the litterbox, provide fresh food and water, then depart. Well, it was here that Julie went the extra mile. Julie washed out the food containers I use to store my cat's wet food, yet I had not asked her to do that! How very thoughtful and generous! Thank you so much, Julie! Thank you for being a FABULOUS cat sitter!”
“De was a wonderful dog sitter! I did the 60 min drop in visit, and I feel that De went above and beyond for my dogs. My dogs are pretty particular about certain things and she was very good at making sure my dogs were comfortable.”
“Allysha did an absolutely wonderful job. If you are looking for someone to care for your animal that they are their own allysha is that person, will definitely be booking again when we need someone to check in on Marco.”
“Desirae took great care of our Duckie while we were out of town and sent lots of photo updates! There was great communication and flexibility with my changing schedule, which is also greatly appreciated.”
About: I've had cats and dogs since I was a baby. I've been responsible for animal care since I was 8, starting with my little baby kitty Angel. I can teach dogs basic manners and I'm happy to help seniors up and down the stairs. I have small hands perfect for administering medications and the skills a patience for nail trims. I hope to get pet CPR certified soon and have a background in human medicine, which, while not a direct translation, definitely helps with understanding the basics. I also have some experience with fish and snake care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I work full time but my shifts vary. The next couple of months I will be working a lot of night shifts so I'm happy to take in clients in the early morning or evening. I'm available for boarding most weekends. Any animal in my home will be treated like family. Special instructions will be followed to the T. Dogs will have plenty of time to play in the yard if they so wish but won't be left outside unsupervised. Snuggle and play time and exercise are important to me so each dog gets two walks a day unless health problems prevent them from doing so, and floor snuggle time at the end of the day. If you have special requests, I am happy to help!
“Lina was great! She was easy to schedule with to meet ahead of time to exchange keys and came each day and even let us know when she would be early or late! She sent plenty of photos and gave amazing detailed updates on our kitty every day!”
“Kylie was wonderful with our girls. She was responsive from the moment we requested a drop in sitter to the last day of taking care of them. My fur babies are usually very cautious but by the end they were greeting her at the door. She also sent us photos throughout so we knew the girls were all well taken care. We highly recommend Kylie and will definitely be booking with her again very soon!”

Portsmouth cat parents share their Rover experiences
She did an amazing job taking care of our four little heathens… I mean, kitties! 🐾 Everyone was always fed, watered, and the litter robots were spotless. We felt totally at ease knowing she was checking in every day (and her updates were wonderfully detailed!). Super reliable, caring, and patient with our crew — highly recommend.
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica - she was a superstar sitter for out kitties this past booking. Our daughter was having a baby in Massachusetts, and we needed Jessica to be flexible about the booking because babies do not come as scheduled! She totally worked with us and was great about our flexible timeline. The girls and the house were well taken care of, and it was one less thing to worry about.
Grace was amazing! Our previous sitter dropped out last minute, Grace was available and responsive and we were able to get everything sorted 2 days before we left. She even got our shyest cat out and about and made sure to send plenty of action shots of the cats playing!
Ashlee kept in touch with us daily over the week that we were away. We came home to three happy healthy cats, a clean litter box and my plants were all in great shape. Ashlee did an excellent job for us. We and our kitties are grateful for her service! I’d highly recommend her.
Ashley is an angel. Our cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism right before a trip across country. He also had “the cat flu” 2 days into sitting Ashley notified me of serious concerns she had regarding his health. She took him to the vet and walked us through a very difficult diagnosis. On top of that she gave him a bath to help with nasal discharge. She is an angel. I cannot describe her as anything else. We are so grateful for her and forever in her debt of taking care of our sweet boy so we can get home to him
Bonnie did an amazing job at watching my babies! She always came on time and did so well with them and took the best care of them. She updated me constantly and sent pictures and made sure I knew they were having a good time. She is so sweet and sooo good with animals I would choose her time and time again she is the best!! ❤️
Annabelle was a fabulous cat sitter! She showed up on-time and did all that needed to be done, keeping me well-informed along the way! Most interestingly to me, my extremely reserved cat - a cat which remains hidden when outsiders come into the home - appeared for Annabelle and even wanted Annabelle to pet her! Truly a feat of nature! Clearly Annabelle has a knack for pets! I highly recommend Annabelle! Her extremely pleasant personality coupled with her attention-to-detail ensures your pet will be well taken care of while you are away. Thank you, Annabelle! :)
