“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy with the service. Mikayla and Alen made me feel at ease. They helped me understand the process and took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend them.”
“Amanda did an excellent job with our cats, fish and lizard! She made sure to send photos and leave details about the pets after each visit. We’ll absolutely have her back to sit again.”
About: I have cared for pets for friends and family for several years and have always loved being around animals. I also have an 11-year-old dog of my own, whom I trained from the time she was a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and am currently in graduate school pursuing a career in mental health counseling. My education and experiences have strengthened qualities like patience, communication, empathy, and attentiveness, which I also bring to caring for pets. While balancing part-time work and graduate school, I maintain a flexible schedule. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in June, with additional availability most Friday evenings and weekend mornings. I treat every pet like my own, making their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay mindful of their surroundings, follow instructions carefully, and always double-check that doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I also enjoy sharing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
“Magnoly was excellent. She’s very intuitive about what the dogs need and she understood them. She is kind and gentle and understands directions well. My dogs are a little complicated to take care of that. They need certain foods and they have two very different personalities. I’m really glad I found Magnoly to care for them.”
About: My family describes me as the dog whisperer! I grew up with two Malteses; one from puppy-hood and the other, adopted in his elder years. I work full time on a hybrid work-from-home schedule with every Wednesday and Friday at home. With a flexible schedule, I will be accessible for your dog. My house has a fenced in patio and unfenced small yard. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to downtown Amesbury and Lake Gardner. I know that pets are a true part of your family and I will protect and care for your dog as if it were my own.
“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
About: Hello & welcome to my profile! I have been blessed by growing up around animals my entire life! My older brother has had dogs as small as a Poodle/Chihuahua mix (Ari) and as large as a Newfoundland (Armand - which I was able to help leash train)! My brother has relied on me multiple times to take care of them, and I do so lovingly! In Ari’s later years, he trusted me to give him his medication, special diet food, and assist him walk around. Additionally, I grew up around cats for as long as I can remember and currently have two of my very own. Not only cats & dogs, but bunnies, gerbils, and guinea pigs are all animals I have taken care of under my own roof! I know that each pet has their own personality and therefore needs specialized care. I know how much I think about my own when I am away from them, and I would be honored to lovingly take care of them so you don’t have to stress it! I currently work full time M-F, but am consistently done with work by 3:00/4:00 pm. This gives me plenty of time to stop by and care for your animals during the week part time, or full time on the weekends! Within my own home, I make sure to be proactive with making sure my cats have fresh water and food in their bowls at consistent times. I do not currently own any pet supplies for a dog and I live in a one bedroom apartment with limited space. I am happy to house smaller animals when need be and take care of all other pets within their own furever home!
“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals, which I have actively pursued through animal care work and volunteering. These experiences have taught me the importance of having a safe, clean, loving, and happy environment for all animals! I currently have open availability, I am available on demanding hours such as; weekends, weekdays, holidays, and long hours. I have no problem with transportation, and can show up when needed! I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs at home. I also have animal daycare experience and can easily prioritize the safety and well being of all animals!
“This was our 1st time using Hannah and she took great care of our 2 babies. They always looked so happy in all the wonderful pictures Hannah would send. She was always on time too. We will definitely use Hannah again. Thank you!”
“Allison was such a wonderful blessing to our family! To know that our Dogs were being taken care of was such a relief. She was so sweet and I felt confident in the care she gave. Thank you Allison.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for nearly every kind of pet, from doggies and kitties to chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, geckos, birds, rats, and even snakes. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Of all my amazing animal friends, dogs are definitely my favorite — I’ve had a dog in my home my entire life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing the same care, attention, and affection that I’ve always given to my own pets. I'm currently working part time so my availability is vast! I can do most mornings, evenings after 4, and some weekends as well! If you ask, we can easily work something out! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort during every drop-in visit, walk, and house sitting stay. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and exercise, to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. During dog walks, I make sure pets are always securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving experience so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.
About: Hi! I’m Alyssa. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and a kitten of my own, and I’ve previously had a dog as well. I’ve pet sat for family and friends, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated (pictures too!) during visits so you know how your pet is doing. I work full time but can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and other routines your cat and or dog is used to. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for them in their own home while respecting their space, routine, and personality. I’m attentive to details like food and water, litter boxes, medications when needed, and making sure doors and other areas are secure. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Sasha is Fantastic! She’s very communicative, is so good with our pup, and we enjoy having her come over weekly! This is my first time with a pet sitter and she made it so easy and we felt comfortable almost immediately. 10/10!”
“I can’t recommend Maddy enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Jinx, while I was away. Maddy was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and little notes about how Jinx was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, Jinx was happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Maddy’s the one!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in fourth grade. I enjoy working with high energy dogs and can handle dogs of all sizes. I’m currently a student at Bentley University with a reasonably open schedule. I can tend to pet needs during the weekdays and on the weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care in a calm, positive environment, making sure every walk is safe, engaging, and stress-free. You can trust that your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d give my own.
About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was little and was called an aspiring Disney Princess. I have knowledge taking care of rabbits, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds,fish, and other small rodents. I love working with any kind of animal and willing to learn about any other animal. I also have experience taking care of animals that have medical ailments as well as senior animals. I am a stay at home mom for two beautiful girls so my schedule is really flexible. If any last minute situations pop up I can easily move my schedule around. Your fur baby's safety is my number one priority. I pride myself in building trust with not just you but also with your fur baby.
“Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, having started a "dog walking business" when I was ten years old, pet sitting for just as long, and I've been fostering both cats and dogs with local rescues for several years now. My soft spot is senior pets. Animals make me feel whole. Whether it’s cats, dogs, little critters or reptiles I genuinely love them all. Bonus points my husband is a retired MWD handler and has a dog training business both here and back at home in Texas, so we’ve worked with many dogs with all backgrounds. I stay at home and keep the same daily routine for my pups. My husband is a retired MWD handler we have a dog training business both here and in SATX. My life is pets every day. I want to keep your dog comfortable while you're away. My dogs are free to roam inside when I’m home, they may sleep where they are comfortable. They will not be allowed outside to roam the yard unless I'm also in the backyard with them.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Salem stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
