“Kirssy was so good to my girl kitties! I got lots of pictures and videos of their playtime. She always came at the desired check in times. Very reliable, I would definitely like to book with her in the future and highly recommend her for your pet needs 😀”
“Susan was a phenomenal cat sitter. She took care of my elderly cat with gentle care and gave her medication easily. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone that is looking for an attentive and communicative sitter.”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Calamari while we were away over the holidays. She would send pictures and updates at each visit which is comforting to know that Calamari is well taken care of and happy. Vanessa is reliable, communicative, and most importantly she’s passionate about taking great care of our pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Just here to take that worry off your plate completely and replace it with real peace of mind. This is incredibly personal to me because I’ve always believed pets are family. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the lifetime of hands-on experience I’ve had with animals and the calm, attentive care I provide. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have continued to be around them ever since, so being around animals feels very natural to me. When caring for pets for friends and family, I’ve often watched multiple animals at once, usually two or three dogs along with a few cats, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m experienced with everyday pet care tasks such as walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, feeding schedules, and administering medications when needed. I also make it a priority to give each pet attention and care tailored to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work full time, so I’m typically available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week, as well as on weekends. Depending on the location, I may also be available for visits during my lunch break on weekdays. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. Unfortunately I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow pets, but I have a cat who lives with my parents, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure to stick to the pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats, fish, rodents, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable working with a wide range of pets and their unique needs. I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to more anxious or senior animals who need a gentler approach. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines, training preferences, or care instructions to keep things consistent for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnights, I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely enjoy getting to know their personalities. If your dog stays with me, he/she will be in great company with my resident dog, Kimchi! For days that I’m available to provide doggy daycare services, I work from home and I’m able to accommodate your dog’s specific scheduling needs, including potty breaks walks, and medication routine needs. I have a friendly resident dog who will keep your dog good company while he or she stays with us. I always follow your care instructions and will never take dogs off leash. I am located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space for nice, long walks.
About: Growing up with dogs in our household fostered a deep love and appreciation for dogs and animals in general. Over the last few years I’ve gained valuable pet care experience. I enjoy connecting and providing special care to all creatures. I’m currently living in Beverly and working remote. I’m able to do walks, check-ins, and pet sitting mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m flexible and ready to provide exceptional care to your pets. Caring for pets in your home is no different than caring for children in your home. A high level of attention is non-negotiable so maintaining a solid walking, playing, and feeding schedule is of the upmost importance. Cuddles, belly rubs, and scratchies are also of the upmost importance.
“Reagan took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She gave regular full updates on their well being which allowed us to fully relax on vacation. We came home to our cats in great spirits, they seemed at ease and comfortable under Reagan’s care - we definitely will be booking with her again! Thank you Reagan!”
About: My mom was a vet growing up as well as a dog trainer and daycare owner. I have taken care of dogs with her for years and have also learned basics like giving dogs insulin, flea meds, and other meds. I am a college student at endicott college in Beverly Ma, I am just looking to make extra money and get outside and with some furry friends! I miss my animals and love the fulfillment of playing with them. My dogs at home have an invisible fence. I still usually will check on them a few times to make sure they haven’t gotten out, but that is a very rare occasion. In the past when taking care of animals without an invisible fence, I be sure to have them on a leash or in very close proximity.
“Brielle was so helpful in watching our kitty while out of town for a few days! She gave updates, sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Brielle!!”

For extended, continuous care where I am required to stay at your home for multiple consecutive hours, I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour.If you need a multi-hour booking, please message me directly before confirming so I can manually adjust the request to the correct total! This ensures your pet gets my undivided attention for the entire block of time. I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.
“Dawn was so wonderful and accommodating!! I had never boarded my cat before and was pretty nervous about leaving her in someone else's home. Dawn made us feel right at home, she suggested that I stay for ~30 minutes during "drop-off" to make sure that Missy felt comfortable, and did an amazing job of making sure that Missy wouldn't have the opportunity to bolt for the door or get stuck somewhere - Missy is a curious and elderly old lady and I was worried she would hide or get trapped, but Dawn made sure that wouldn't happen. She sent lots of pictures assuring me that Missy was having a great time, relaxing and playing with her toys and getting so much attention and lots of snuggles. Dawn made it super easy to schedule both pickup and dropoff and had all of Missy's stuff packed up and ready to go. If we ever need Missy to go on vacation again, Dawn will be my first call!”
About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.
About: I’ve been walking dogs for a year and love keeping them happy, active, and safe. Playtime and long walks are some of my favorite parts of pet care! I also enjoy spending time with cats, whether that’s play, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time student, so I’m not able to be in the home all day, but I make plenty of time for pets in the evenings and overnight. On weekdays, I can arrive around 5pm and stay through the night, though I’ll be away between 8am–5pm. Even with a busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly love, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets in my care. Dogs get secure walks on leashes, supervised playtime, and plenty of attention, while cats have a calm, comfortable space to relax or play. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and temperament, and follow any special instructions you provide to ensure pets are safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Tawny was wonderful. She met with me for initial "meet and greet" right away, and my kitty loved her from the first moment. My kitty (over 20 yrs old) is normally shy and hides away from new people, but warmed up to Tawny right away. Tawny is kind, gentle and truly loves animals. She visited my kitty every day, and I got heart-warming photos via text from each visit. When I got back, kitty was happy, contented, as if I never left home. I am very happy that I found Tawny and can trust her with my furr-baby, when I travel from now on.
Kirssy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She made me feel so secure in all the care and love she was giving to them while I was away. She sent tons of photos and videos and has been extremely communicative since I first messaged her. I can’t recommend her enough, and I will be using her for future visits for sure!
Reagan took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She gave regular full updates on their well being which allowed us to fully relax on vacation. We came home to our cats in great spirits, they seemed at ease and comfortable under Reagan’s care - we definitely will be booking with her again! Thank you Reagan!
This has been our first trip leaving the cats in a very long while and we left leaving a little nervous but as Michaela came in and gave us updates, day by day, fotos, and helped around their necessities we were beyond grateful. She did an amazing job with our boy cat that is a bit of a hyper toddler, like a pro and even our shy cat came around and started to meet her by the door. All very good signs they also loved her visits.
We hired Jamie based on her recommendations and repeated customers here on Rover. I was nervous to leave my two kitties, especially my elder cat who is chronically ill. Jamie was punctual and attentive to their needs, feeding, dispensing my calico’s meds, and spending time with both. She alleviated my fears by being in touch during visits, and the photos she sent assured me that they were in good hands. They seemed calm and happy, responding to her positively. My second cat is very shy, and her approach obviously was effective as her photos show him very chill. I recommend her highly.
