“Peach was lovely! Our dog and three cats had her undivided attention while we were away! She kept us updated with photos, videos and text messages! When in need we will be calling her again 😊”
“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”
“Meaghan was fantastic! She was easy to work with, took wonderful care of our cat, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! We have a nervous pup so Jennifer gladly agreed to do a meet and greet and a walk with us before house sitting. She gave us multiple daily updates of our puppy happy and having amazing time! She took Halsey on her favorite walk routes including down to the local beach and park look outs! I can’t say enough about how amazing Jennifer was and help put us at ease that our pup was happy and getting incredible care!”
“Hannah was fantastic with Oliver! She sent adorable pics throughout the visit so I could see he was happy and well taken care of. She was so sweet with him and left my apartment spotless when she left. I'd trust her with Oliver again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was friendly, flexible with times and very warm with our dog. She played with our dog with dog puzzles on her own initiative and kept us posted with pictures and details throughout the evening. Laura has grown up around animals and is knowledgeable about them. I would certainly ask her to take care of our puppy again.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
About: I have 10 years of experience with all kinds of dogs, including Rotties, Huskies, Shepherds, and Pitties. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and triggers — from total couch potatoes to pups who struggle to walk down the street. I’ve fostered and volunteered with dogs for years, and I’m happy to help with training or just hang out and lounge — whatever your dog needs, I’m here for it 😊 I'm currently taking nursing school prerequisites so my schedule is quite flexible. I can dog sit or walk during weekends and weekdays. If your dog does better with others I can bring along my own dog whose verryyyy relaxed and easy going. Caring for dogs is about adapting behavior to match theirs, which is where trust is built! If your dog is anxious around a lot of energy, we tone it down. If your dog is a bubbly, there's lots of playing! Body language is key when it comes to our puppies so I always make sure to stay tuned in 🎶
“TJ has been excellent with the dogs and was able to pick up a couple of extra shifts. He is very professional and polite and always with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is also very timely and respectful of my home.”
“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”
“Carina is a lovely responsible young woman. She is timely, communicates well with updates and pictures and left the house in perfect condition. She met my neighbor after my pup Libby wandered “thru” the fence to their yard and reacted immediately and apologetically to my neighbor. They also told me they were super impressed with her and were so happy to meet Carina! I hope she is free to watch Libby again in the near future!”
About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.
“Carol was fantastic. She stayed in our house for 3 nights and gave us daily updates with videos, pictures, and audio messages. She did a great job taking care of the creatures (including a high energy 7 month old puppy) and leaving the house clean. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of all types of pets my whole life. Friends, family, and clients have relied on me to care for their pet. It is my passion! I have a free and open schedule for the care of pets, I happily will work in any needs of the pets into my schedule. I live in a quite neighborhood with other dogs, cats, and children. I have a large open yard, with plenty of room for your pets to explore. I can provide any and all needs of my clients and their pets.
About: Animals make me so happy. I will fall in love with your fur baby and care for them like they were my own. My educational background is a BS in Social Work and (almost) an MS in Psychology. I recently left my full time office job and have free time before I start my next chapter in the summer of 2027. I have mostly an open schedule right now, until May of 2027. I am free during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I can do weekend help too. I prefer caring for your pets in your home. I have a blended household (myself, grandmother, and my husband) with 3 cats who would not appreciate doggy playdates. I also believe they will be more comfortable in their own familiar space.

About: I got my own dog (Cavapoo) in 2020 and spent a substantial amount of time training him when he was a puppy. I have also done overnight dog sitting for a family I regularly babysit for. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 😊 I am currently a school-based mental health therapist. Half of the week, I work remotely. I am looking for house/pet sitting roles that allow me to go to work (when in-person) for a few hours and then come back to be with your pet the rest of the afternoon/night. I am usually totally free on the weekends!! I tend to spoil pets (in a good way)! I give them lots of attention and love. I love cuddling with pets, taking them on walks, and giving them treats. I am also very attuned and consistent with any predetermined schedules or routines that you may have for your pet

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salisbury
We just had Caitlyn stay with our two dogs for over a week while we were away and couldn’t be happier when we returned home to two happy pups. One of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of dedicated attention and care to make sure he eats and Caitlyn did a wonderful job doing so. We received daily updates and pictures and never had a doubt how they were doing while we were away. Would highly recommend Caitlyn and will certainly hire her again!
Our cat Lily loved Corinne and so did we! She has the sensitivity needed to work with animals. She was very responsible, communicative, and I swear that our place was cleaner than we left it! She has earned our trust and will always be our first choice for cat sitter in Rochester.
Arianna was so wonderful with our two young German Shorthaired Pointers. Our dogs are very active and Arianna spent significant time both walking and playing with them, which they loved. We also appreciate Arianna’s communication and flexibility. Our boys will be happy to have her as a sitter again!
Christine is responsible and provides clear communication when I reached out. However, during her overnight stays with my dog, she did not provide any daily updates. I had to ask how her house/dog sitting went at the end of her stay. I would have highly appreciated daily updates, however, brief.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Salisbury walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Salisbury maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Salisbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
