“Kalliah was wonderful! This was the first time we left our dogs with anyone in 3 years. She gave us detailed morning and evening updates along with pictures. Her feedback showed us how comfortable the dogs were with her. We came home to happy puppies! Thank you Kalliah!”

“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi there!😊 My name is Sarah and I currently reside in Rutland MA. Although I am brand new to this app, I am very excited and looking forward to meeting your pets, and sharing this experience with them! My personal experience in caring for dogs has been pet sitting/walking for family, friends, and coworkers. I have also worked in doggy daycare, and so I am very comfortable with many different types, sizes and breeds of dogs. I understand every dog is different, and unique in there own ways. So my priority is making sure your pets needs are met, with the attention, care and love they deserve. I am working part time but I am available every weekday from 10:30am 2pm. Also, 5pm-7pm. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday afternoons. As a dedicated pet sitter, I always start by showering your pets with affection! Following this warm greeting, I tailor our time together to meet their needs, whether that involves taking them outside or going for a walk. Upon our return, I can either feed them or engage in some fun playtime, depending on the schedule and your pet’s preferences. I pride myself on being flexible and collaborative, so I'm here to work with you to ensure that your furry companions receive the exceptional care they deserve!
“My wife and I found Sarah on Rover because we were planning a destination wedding with all of our friends and family. All the people we usually ask to watch our dog, our cat, or take care of our house would be joining us for 10 days in another country. Understandably, we were apprehensive about entrusting all that to a person we did not know. When we connected with Sarah, a few months before, we chatted and discussed organizing a meet and greet and then having Sarah do some regular dog walks in the weeks leading up to the event. At every step of the way, Sarah was prompt, communicative, friendly, honest, and above all, incredibly caring and loving to our animals. Before we left, Sarah checked in once more with a detailed review of all the logistics we had discussed for the stay. Sarah arrived as planned and spent 10 days taking the best care of our dog Mia, our cat Tar, and looking after our entire house. She stayed at the house overnight, took Mia for walks each day, played with Mia in the yard, and spent some quality comfort time in the house with both Mia and Tar. She updated us daily with pictures of the animals as well as information about the day’s activities and how the animals were doing. We were always fully comfortable that our house and animals were in the best of hands. We will continue to hire Sarah in the future for house sitting and pet care needs and give her the highest recommendation.”

“Kailin was a great companion for our pup! She exercised the dog often and was always available for updates. We definitely plan to use her for walking and house sitting needs in the future.”

About: I like to watch it’s me or the dog every night. And my cat from hell. I’m interested in getting my dog training certificate in the nearest future. My cat brings me such joy. He is a 16 year old black cat and such a good boy! He can even go on walks with us. I work for the Worcester Public schools and have all school vacations off. I am able to come and do house calls in the evening time (4-late night) or house sit overnight on weekdays or weekends. Also during school vacations including the summer. We have an indoor house cat. He’s declawed and very friendly. We also have a fenced in area in the backyard with very high fences. There is possibility that borders could be segregated from the cat if necessary. We are in a good neighborhood for walking and very near some good trails.
“Haleigh is amazing with both my very friendly and my very shy dog! She sat in the rain for an hour to win over my shy pup Bijou! By the end of her stay Bijou was sitting on Haleigh’s lap and getting lots of love! Haleigh is great at giving updates and notifying me of any concerns and sending pictures. One of my dogs is on a lot of pills and supplements and Haleigh made sure she took them all. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”

About: I’ve had several pets all growing up, ranging from turtles, to birds, to dogs! I have had 5+ dogs that I’ve owned throughout my life! My friends and family go to me to walk/take care of their pets and/or give them advice about them. I am currently free during all times of the day! I have open availability for all week days, preferably in the mornings and or afternoons! I will walk your dog for however long you need me to. I have no problem with long walks and lots of exercise as I’m usually in the gym about 5 days a week, leading me to be pretty fit and diligent for things that require high stamina. I will make sure your pet uses the bathroom, gets all its energy out, and is happy!
“Kayla is absolutely amazing. She is the best dog sitter we've had with our pups, we're always at ease knowing she's with them while we are away. She is great at sending pictures and updates”

“We left our dogs for a week long trip and booked Lindsey for house sitting/drop in visits. She went above and beyond to care for our boys doing more visits than we asked, taking them on walks and providing them daily stimulation while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and was very respectful of our home. I would highly recommend!”


“Kendel took great care of our pup! Ginny took to her right away, so we felt super comfortable leaving them together for the weekend. She sent updates and photos daily. Our home and our sweet pup were well cared for!”
About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

I used rover for the first time and found Melanie when our sitter backed out last minute. We have never put the dogs with anybody other than family and she was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough to have the peace of mind that we had while we were away and everything that she did for us was truly amazing! Thank you again for making our vacation, truly peaceful, knowing that our babies were in the best hands! 💙💙🩷
