“Holly is a wonderful pet caretaker. She is flexible and reliable. I am extremely thankful to have Holly, making drop in visits on my cats . She gives them a lot of love and attention and goes above and beyond with every detail of their care. Very thankful to know I can go away and have Holly looking after my pets. It gives me such peace of mind.”

“Lisa was wonderful with our cats. We are very lucky to have someone nearby who is reliable, personable with our cats, and sending us pics of their feeding sessions and hangouts together. Our more shy kitty cat warmed up to Lisa very quickly which suggests to us she is dedicated to gaining trust with animals. We highly recommend Lisa to any fur family looking for a loving sitter.”

“Thanks for snuggling with Frankie!”

“Tatiana did an amazing job watching my Golden Retriever. He loves attention and playtime, and she made sure he was always active, comfortable, and happy. She kept me updated and it was clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I felt completely confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.”

“Shelby is great pet sitter. Shows my cat lots love and does all care she is asked to do. We have used her 3years now.”

“When I found out that April was on Rover I just had to drop everything and right a testimonial. She is the best! I have let her Watch my dog, walk my dog and Mr. Ghost(my dog) loves her very much and always goes nuts when I say "You want to go see April". I don't know what April does but I know that Ghost is in great care with her and I see how much she Loves all the dogs equally. I can focus on my responsibilities when Ghost is with April. Like I said April is the best!!!”

“Charles was fantastic. Great communication, easy to work with and Harriet enjoyed his company. Highly recommend, will hire again!”

“We would love to give Victoria the highest recommendation possible for the beautiful care and grooming she provides for our 4 dogs (and us, too). I have taken care of their grooming for most of their lives, and it was hard for me to feel comfortable having someone else groom them. Victoria is exceptional. My husband and I trust her 100%. My dogs are always anxious when we bring them in, but as soon as they see Victoria, they calm down. They are happy to see her. Thank you, Victoria. We are so grateful for your beautiful grooming and your tender loving care of our 4 precious dogs.”

“Ashley was great with our two cats! Very responsive, sent great photos and took great care of them. She even won over our very shy cat!”

“Isabel has done a great job anytime I have asked her to watch my 2 rescue cats and senior labrador retriever. She is responsible and makes sure that they have fresh water at all times and gives 2 of them medications they require. She also does a good job with our senior dog who needs a ramp to get up and down to the yard. I have the utmost confidence in her and would recommend her to other pet parents looking for a loving responsible person who loves pets!”

About: My wife and I are crazy animal lovers! We have three dogs and three cats, (and a lizard). We are well versed in all different breeds of dogs, puppy care, dogs in heat, etc. My dog experience includes: - I have owned both high drive (Malinois) and giant breed (Great Dane) dogs in the past. They can be high maintenance and I remember being worried at the time if a sitter would be able to “handle” them …. Don’t worry, I got you!! - working with a local golden retriever breeder over the past 5 years : very family with female dogs in heat, pregnancy, nursing, puppies of all life stages, etc. - regular volunteer at Laconia humane society in the dog section.. I’ve seen ALL different sizes, breeds, personalities, and health issues of dogs here - Rover sitting for 5+ years, watching family/friends/neighbors pets for 10+ years - multiple training courses on dog behaviors and reactivity Cat care: I equally love cats as much as dogs!! - we have two purebred Maine Coons and one black cat adopted from the humane society - comfortable with all different breeds, ages, and personalities - knowledgeable about cat body language, habits, and play styles Reptile/Amphibian - we own one leopard gecko - relatively new to the reptile field, very knowledgeable about specifically leopard geckos at this point. If you have a different type of reptile reach out, with detailed instructions I’d be happy to care for them for you My wife works full time out of the home on a regular 9-5 M-F schedule. I am a mental health therapist. I work from home 100% of the time doing telehealth. I do have to go into the office room in our house to do sessions. My sessions are irregular but on average they’re from 10am-12pm and then 1pm-5pm every day. I frequently get cancellations so it would likely be a little less than that as well. Sample schedule: Boarding or pet daycare in my house: 7am-10am - breakfast, bathroom, spend time outside in fenced yard weather permitting, going on leashed walk through neighborhood, playing inside house 10am-12pm : I will be in work sessions likely. Your dog should be tired and relaxed from our morning activities by this point. They can take rest/nap in office room with me, or play by themselves with chew toys etc. (dog must be mature enough that they don’t need my undivided session during this time since I will be mainly focused on work calls. 12pm- 1pm : lunch break, bathroom break, cuddles, play 1pm - 5pm: back to work! As a mentioned it’s not unusual for me to get a hour long cancellation. 5pm- bedtime : dinner, big walk through neighborhood, playing, chew toys, puzzle toys, pets, love I will follow any instructions you leave me EXACTLY. For example, please don’t feel embarrassed if you want to leave me a five page document on how you usually care for your pet….. because I completely understand how nerve wracking and hard it can be to leave your family member in someone else’s care!!! I will care for your pets the way I would want mine to be treated, with 110% love and care. On the flip side, also don’t feel like you have to leave that detailed of instructions if you don’t want to or feel like it … I’ll still be on top of it :)

About: I’ve fallen in love with cats since my roommate got two. Since then, I’ve cat sit for a family friend who has two shy but adorably sweet cats. I love to play with them, and I am able to clean the litter box and make sure they’re drinking enough water. I am experienced at giving liquid and solid oral medication as well.

“Brianna has had pets in her life most of her life! She has a very kind heart and way with animals. She has experience with cats, rabbits, gerbils and hamsters and some experience with dogs. Her customer service would be extraordinary because of her work making customers in restaurants happy.”
