“Pat was amazing with my 2 kitties! They can be a bit shy at first and she was very respectful of letting them come to her on their terms. By the end of the weekend, they warmed up to her very quickly! She was great about checking in with photos so I knew they were okay. She also went above and beyond, taking the litter and trash out which was a nice surprise to come home to! I was grateful to be able to enjoy the weekend away knowing they were well cared for :)”

“Stephanie is extraordinary. She was always on time and cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we arrived home, our dogs were relaxed and happy. Can't imagine asking anyone else to watch them in the future.”

“Ace was so amazingly flexible and helpful during a long trip away from home. We booked her originally to care for our cats while we were away for a holiday trip, but when a family emergency came up and we needed to leave early she was able to add more dates to the booking and was right there sending updates and cute photos from home-lifting our mood during a difficult time. Our cats were in great spirits when we returned, and she went above and beyond straightening up their messy litter boxes-so our home felt well cared for as well. Can’t say enough great things about Ace. She’s a treasure and truly a caring person who loves animals.”

“We were very pleased to have Erin look after our cats while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our kitties and was very reliable and caring. The regular updates and photos from her drop in visits were reassuring and very much appreciated. We will be rebooking with Erin in the future!”

About: I am the proud fur mom of pups Max, Henry and Ollie the cat. I was very active in rescue and a foster mom for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and Great Dog Rescue of New England and have fostered over 100 dogs of all age and sizes. I also have experience caring for Chickens, Ducks, Pigs, Goats and Donkeys. In addition to light farm work. Like my fosters each animal is treated as one of the family. I am looking to expand my farm experience.. Light cleaning provided for longer stays. References available upon request. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. It is my absolute top priority. The animals ALWAYS come first. Whether is meal time, play time or pet time. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. When I am in your home your animal rules will apply. Snuggle time on the couch, score! Not aloud on furniture. It’s ok, my feet will keep you comfy. Taking up space in the bed more than a normal human would? Great! just give me a little bit of leg room.

About: I just wrote a whole thing and it got deleted lol. Anyway! I have been taking care of my own pets as well as flakey sibling's/roommate's pets for most of my life. I myself have adopted a few pets with chronic illnesses and special needs. I have house sat for many wonderful animals over the years, but I am new to rover! I am a huge animal lover (I'm vegan and everything wow) and I hope to become besties with your sweet pets. I'm a tattooer and make my own schedule, so I am able to be pretty flexible with your schedule, especially during our slower season which is the winter. While I am unable to bring animals into my home because of my skittish little guys, I am very diligent and respectful of client's houses and property, and I'm good at following instructions. I have pet sat plenty of times in peoples' homes.

About: Hello, my name is Wen, nice to e-meet you. I am a pet parent, and have been a pet roommate for many years. Live by the rule of treating the other's pet as I would like mine treated, and opening up to furballs of all sizes (from chihuahua to pitbullS, yes plural, they were 3 gorgeous pitbull siblings). I successfully cared for and walked (and spoiled) Lola, Sweetie, Bailey, Roscoe, and Nugget. I pet-sitted in Lola's country house and Sweetie's small city apartment, making sure they were safe and comfortable at home while their hoomans were away. I'm your guy for any holidays, unexpected travel, long three day weekends, or any other festivity that you need reliable pet sitting, pet check-in or walks for. I care for pets as their owners want them to be cared for. Be it a list or a more relaxed environment, I'm your guy.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is a 10-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. He is a little guy but has tons of energy, and loves to make friends with all people or other dogs. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but still loves playing with Chico when they are together. On all of my bookings, I like to provide constant attention to your pet to ensure they have as much care as possible. With the pets I've met so far, it was always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.

About: I have been the proud dog dad of Franklin, a rescue 14 year old terrier mix, for over 9 years, who suffers from separation anxiety. More recently, I have cared for him through eye removal surgery as well as terminal joint and heart issues. As a result, I have experience giving oral, ocular and topical medications. I have this experience with other dogs as well, as I am always quick to volunteer for any opportunity to walk or babysit a friend or families dog - even going so far as to visit dogs rather than people at family weddings. I'm currently unemployed, so 100% of the time I'm not with my dog I can and want to spend taking care of your dog! Please check my schedule or reach out. First and foremost, I care for animals by showing them love and respect. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will conscientiously follow all instructions you provide and never put your pet in any danger.

“Alexis did a wonderful job caring for my two cats, Echo and Raven! From the beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals — she connected with my girls right away during the meet and greet, which made me feel instantly at ease. While I was away, she kept me updated with lots of adorable photos and thoughtful messages, which I absolutely loved. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and content Echo and Raven looked — they were clearly getting plenty of love, affection and playtime. She even took out the trash and vacuumed around the apartment, which I truly appreciated so much! I’m so grateful for the care and affection Alexis gave my girls, and I look forward to having her care for them again! She is an amazing sitter, I highly recommend!”

About: I grew up taking care of my dogs. The first thing I did when I woke up was feed and play fetch with my German Shepherd. I absolutely love exercise, especially with a dog by my side:) I’m currently working as a high school health teacher. I have afternoons and weekends off each week. I would love to have something to do in my free time:) I will not be taking dogs in my own home but I am a quick learner and could easily use materials in your home to take care of your animals.
