“Madelyn as usual did everything the way we would do if we were there! She always sends lots of photos of the kitties and a play by play of the visit which we so appreciate! We love having her do the drop-ins and cannot recommend her enough !!! Five stars plus !!!!”

“Erin was awesome! My cats were well taken care of, fed, watered, played with and litters were cleaned. MY shy Sophie girl usually hides from everyone, and she took the time to find her and sent me a pic to show me she was okay. Highly recommend!”

“It was a pleasure to have Emma take care of my kitty. She is reliable and attentive to her pet clients. I will use her again and recommend her services.”

“I feel very comfortable that my dog is taken care of, safe and getting just enough attention to help fill the void in her heart while Mom is at work. Sarah is very kind, professional but most of all interacts extremely well with my pup. She also explained how the rover app works and made several suggestions to go about entering my home that helped to sooth my nervous nerves upon using the app to begin with. I learned a ton about door locks I never knew existed! If your new to the app I absolutely recommend and I definitely recommend Sarah! 5 stars from me and a very big thank you!!”

“Grace did wonderful dropping in to feed my cat for a few nights in a row and made sure to send pictures every time!”

About: I provide compassionate care to all sorts of pets, ranging from dogs, cats, and other small critters. As a pet owner who has had all sorts of animals, I understand how difficult it could be to find a reliable pet sitter for your furry family members while you’re away, so I like to highlight my experience beyond our canine and feline friends 😊 I have volunteer experience providing foster homes for cats and kittens awaiting adoption. This included providing oral medication. My own rats have had to undergo tumor removal surgery, so I have experience providing post-op care with rats. I have provided Rover/pet sitting services in Colorado Springs and Los Angeles, so despite not having a lot of bookings on Rover, I come with references. Of course, I also have my own dog who keeps me on my toes while on walks and has allowed me to learn more about dog behavior and care. I was born and raised in LA, but lived in other states where I worked in a completely different field. I lived in Waterville for close to 5 years to attend college. I moved back here in April of 2026 and instead of continuing my line of work in psychology/criminal justice, I have decided to take a break from that to do what brings me joy - which is caring for animals in any way that I can. In other words, my time is all dedicated to your fur babies. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort once I’m with them, including the security of your home. I follow any instructions meticulously, like feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, etc., to ensure your pet’s well-being. I like to leave spaces as I have left them, if not cleaner, and ensure your pet does not have access to anything hazardous, especially if I must step away during our time together. I like to communicate with my clients daily to give them peace of mind while away from home.

About: I have worked at dog and cat boarding facility for awhile now. I also did an internship with a dog trainer for almost a year. I also have experience with horses as I do barrel racing I am currently working part-time at a dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a senior in high school and am taking college classes to get my certificate in dog grooming and will be taking a class in animal assisted therapy. I have a crate avaliable for your pet when I am not home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so when we are outside, your dog will be on a leash

“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and more. I’ve worked in a veterinary office and previously ran my own daycare, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience with large and strong dogs, high-energy and working breeds, and multi-pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple species, including exotics, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and safety. I can recognize the difference between play, stress, and aggression, which helps keep your pets safe and comfortable at all times. Whether your pet needs exercise, structure, or calm companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to send photo and message updates so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. Early mornings, afternoons, Saturdays for all services. Sundays I am available for boarding only at this time — I do my best to stay flexible for my clients! I care for your pet as you would want them cared for. I love taking pictures, it's up to you if I share them with everyone or just you!

About: I grew up with dogs around, specifically a Boxer and Boston terrier. I now have three cats of my own! I have done it all from walks to ear cleaning to baths to fetch to administering medications and inhaler treatments - I can do whatever is needed! I work full time with crazy hours! You tell me what times and days are needed, I can try to work it in somehow. Some days I am out at 11pm, others 3pm, it all depends. I will always have two days off a week and can do more for you those days. I can pick on animal cues pretty easily, as I have had non-dog friendly dogs growing up. Patience is something I pride myself on with animals and making sure they feel safe in their environment, as I’m just the visitor.

“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”

“Richard was excellent, he responded to our communication quickly and sent us daily pictures. We felt that our cats were in good hands while we were away, and when we came home everything was as it should be. I would highly recommend Richard to watch over your pets!”

About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable working with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.

“Zanae was amazing! She took our dog for 2 long walks and made sure he got plenty of love and attention (and treats). Highly recommend her to anyone traveling and needing dog care.”

“Reliable and professional. Will use Emily again for sure!!”

About: I raised my own herd of dairy goats starting when I was 11 years old. I have been working with dogs since I was 16, I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and I now work at a shelter. I have loved all sorts of animals from a very young age. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs that required specific medical care (diabetes etc.) I am always willing to learn the proper care for your pet. I currently work full time, but I will gladly stop by after work to give some love to your furry friends. Evenings typically work best! All of the animals in my home are very well cared for, up to date on all vaccines, and very happy. I have a variety of animals including reptiles.

“Liseli is a wonderful sitter for my critters. Great communication and sends fun photos. I like that she spends time to snuggle and play.”
