“Kelsey was beyond amazing! She took such great care of our babies for the week while we were gone. They loved her so much. I never worried once. She also left the house super clean. We would definitely use her again in the future!! Thanks girl!!”

“Our animals were so happy when we got home after Madison stayed here and the house was so clean when we got home. Madison was great and we will definitely have him come again next time we need a house sitter!!”

“Gayle did an excellent job with our dogs. They were well taken care of and she took care of our cat as well. We have a timid German Shepard that does not trust a lot of people, but she loved Gayle. We would use her again and again!! I would recommend Gayle to anyone!!!”

“She was so amazing housesitting with our four cats!! One of our cats is super feisty and needs oral medication twice a day and Meretta was totally able to handle it. She played and cuddled with them every day. She also sent daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking her whenever I go out of town!!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog! Sammy treated our fur baby with so much love, patience, and genuine care. From regular updates and photos to thoughtful little touches, you could tell she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the pets she looks after. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless home. Highly recommend Sammy to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and kind.”

“Hannah is incredible. My dog absolutely adores her, and she sends fabulous photo updates. She is kind, trust worthy, and such a joy to work with. Bonus: she left my house cleaner than I left it.”

About: I grew up with dogs and love them more than people. I’m Patient, am experienced with senior pets, and administering oral meds and eye drops. I work FT M-F a standard 8-5 but have an hour lunch I can go check on your fur baby to make sure they’re ok! I care for every pet like my own, with lots of love, snuggles, and personalized attention, ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, routines, playtime, and peace of mind always.** 🐾💖
“Victoria did an amazing job watching Copper. She was very attentive to his needs and gave him plenty of exercise with a 1-2 mile walk every day. She gave him tons of love and potty breaks frequently.”

“From start to finish, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Emily she went above and beyond. I was initially nervous about leaving Oakley, but she quickly put my mind at ease by following his regimented schedule to a tee. Her attention to detail and genuine care were truly exceptional. She kept me updated with regular photos and took Oakley on long walks each day. Thanks to Emily, I was able to relax knowing he was in the best hands possible. I highly recommend her”

“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”

“Mark was fantastic! We have a loveable golden retriever with some health issues and we are definitely anxious dog parents. It was so nice to know our pup was in good hands while we were gone. Mark came over for a meet 'n greet beforehand, was great about sending updates, was reliable with all of Maui's medical needs, chill about our helicopter parenting, and so sweet and loving toward our doggo. And he took good care of our house too. We would recommend him to all dog parents! :)”

About: My husband and I have had dogs big and small growing up so we’re very familiar with their mannerisms, behavior and unique personalities. We’ve had our own dogs for four years and love them dearly, they’re our babies! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so I am available and pretty flexible for the most part throughout the day. My dogs help me around the house as I get things done. I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs to keep yours company! Occasionally I let the dogs inside to hang out and eat, or depending on the weather to keep warm/cool. At bedtime I bring them in to sleep in their dog crate.
About: Please note: We prefer hypoallergenic dogs since I have a son that's a little allergic, but we're willing to meet your dog and see how he does. He's fine with some dogs so we haven't figured it out. My family and I love dogs. They're therapeutic and we LOVE to snuggle them and play with them. I’ve had many years of experience with dogs. I've taken care of senior dogs and a dog with special needs, I've taken care of puppies, I've taken care of a female dog in heat and I've had up to 6 dogs at my house before for a dog play date. I've raised two puppies in my lifetime and I've had several different dogs, most of them were rescue dogs from the shelter. I've gone to people's homes to house sit and watch their dogs or to just let their dogs out, I've walked peoples dogs and I've met several different kinds of dogs when we take our dog to the dog park. I love them all and so does my dog Milo! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home often and will be available for your dog as much as I can. I can play with your dog(s), snuggle them, feed them, walk them and love them. I do prefer dogs that don't bark a whole lot, since I have a baby that still naps. I have a fenced backyard and I have a friendly dog that will welcome and play with your dog. Assuming your dog is house trained, I'm happy to have them in my home but if it's good weather, I do put them outside often during the day. If your dog likes to run off, please make sure you let me know so we can be extra careful. Although I have a son that's learning to keep the front door shut so dogs won't run out and a toddler who is curious and pulls at dogs hair sometimes, I will try everything in my power to keep your dog safe and feeling comfortable and loved!
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience owning, training, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including seniors and high-energy breeds. From a young age, I began regularly walking, training, and caring for neighbors’ pets after they saw how well-mannered and happy my animals were. I’m attentive, patient, and highly observant of animal behavior, which helps me create a calm, safe environment and respond to each dog appropriately. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and am comfortable managing a variety of temperaments and routines for animals of all kinds. Providing reliable, compassionate care and giving pet parents peace of mind is something I truly value, and I love building trust with both pets and their people and creating a genuine relationship! Every morning I take the pups on a walk or run, and on every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do backyard playtime in the afternoon, then every day in the evenings is indoor playtime. And on the weekends, I love to take my dogs on long hikes, to the dog park, or to go swimming! Please note that I am a student, so there will be times when they will need to be alone and unsupervised, usually kenneled, but I make it a point to expend energy before and after an absence like that so they will want to nap whilst I am away. I am very experienced in interpreting dog behavior/body language and handling stressful situations. I value honesty and transparency, and you can be sure to expect pictures and videos! :) I am willing to feed, walk, water, and brush your animals. Whatever they need, I am up for it!
About: I have had many different pets my whole life and i love all types of animals! I have been trusted by friends, family and neighbors to care for their pets over the years. I have experience with senior pets as well as puppies/kittens! I have experience administering oral medicine, applying topical treatments and post surgery care. I am currently working part time during the evenings/night from 7pm to midnight on weekdays and 3pm to 11pm once every weekend. I am happy to spend any time i am not at work caring for your pet! I will care for your pets just as you do! Making sure to stick to routines that they are familiar with! I am happy to care for you pet in your home where they are most comfortable
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I'm excited to take care of your furry family. I've trained horses and I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and kind. I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house. I'll be able to take care of all your pets needs and we'll have lots of fun together

Salem pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had the pleasure of having Darby watch my dog, Wesson, for a couple of days while I was away on military training. From the start, it was clear that Darby was excited and ready to take great care of Wesson. When Darby first arrived, Wesson immediately warmed up to her and seemed super comfortable. Darby took her on a nice walk and kept things really chill, which I appreciated. She mentioned that they had a great time together. Overall, I’m really grateful for how Darby handled everything. She was reliable, friendly, and it was obvious that Wesson enjoyed her company. I’d absolutely recommend Darby if you need someone to look after your pup!
