“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”
“Daniel is a great ssest to have as a dog owner. I've had great luck with Rover, but Danielle's by far the best. He's punctual and communicative even if this owner isn't always 😁”
“Anna is super sweet and very communicative! She helped out walking my dog very last minute which I so appreciate. Would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future :)”
About: I've had a dog or a cat (often both) in my life ever since I was 10. I love making new furiends, so I'd love to meet yours! My pup (Bailey) has separation anxiety, so I’m very familiar with supporting special needs, giving medication, and training. We alternate between off-leash fun walks and on-leash training walks, so I can adjust to your dog’s needs. I’m also a big fan of playing, especially if your dog needs to get some energy out. I split my time between volunteering at my local library and walking dogs, so my schedule is flexible. I prefer to walk dogs in the morning or early afternoon. I don't sit at my home, but I love getting updates about my pets when I'm away, so you can expect plenty of pictures and videos of your pets!
About: I took care of dogs growing up, and now dogs are part of my family. My children have also grown up with dogs, helping with training, feeding, brushing, bathing, and playing with our dog. I am a middle school teacher who is home with my family during the summer. My 10 year old son and I are available to welcome your dog into our family life during the summer weeks and on weekends during the school year. We have a large yard with a stream and conservation land behind our house. We enjoy walks in the woods, running around and playing catch in the yard with dogs who stay with us. Inside dogs are allowed on the couch. We are home all day during the summer. We are excited to meet your dog and welcome them into our family life.
About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friend’s, and coworker’s pets for over 15 years. I have been consistently pet sitting since 2020. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean; laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. I always respect their cues and boundaries for everyone’s comfort. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. There are references on my wix website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet-and-greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines for your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye to make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street, keeping alert for traffic or any other hazards. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary, with skills I’ve learned working at a doggy daycare. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I have a good eye for ticks and I am always finding them, but your dog should be treated for this, too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!
“We started using Bree just over a week ago and she has been terrific! You can tell right away that she has a special bond with animals. She has been very responsive and dependable and has taken Bella on wonderful long walks in the woods and has added on backyard ball tossing. Bells is very happy to see her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal care and hands-on experience with a variety of animals. As a junior at UMass Amherst studying Biology Pre-Med and Animal Science Pre-Vet, I’ve worked with both household pets and larger farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of their needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and caring for both young and senior pets who require extra attention. I’ve worked at PetSmart as a Pets Hotel Associate, where I have cared for over one thousand different dogs, and sixty cats. My academic knowledge and real-world experience allow me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet I watch. I am currently working part-time at a vaccination/neutering clinic, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I would love to work any day except Tuesday and Wednesday at any time! I care for your pets in your home by carefully following your instructions and paying close attention to their body language. Since animals can’t communicate with words, their movements and behavior are key to understanding their needs and comfort levels. I make sure to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“James was great with Taina! When we returned back home, Taina looked happy and well taken care of. James followed the instructions I left for Tiana’s feeding and gave her nice walks. I was always updates with various pictures and a narrative of how the visit and walk went. I will definitely use James again!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals. I have a wide breadth of behavioral knowledge for pets of all kinds. I've been fascinated with animals, both scientifically and emotionally, since I was young I have a lot of free time currently, so I can help out on somewhat short notice. Transportation may be an obstacle, as I do not have a car, but I am capable of walking, biking, and using the PVTA bus lines. In a client's home I would abide by their instructions and assess the personality of the pet/pets to ensure their good health and happiness. I would be happy to exercise a more athletic dog, with their owner's permission. I am a hiker and have been to several of the recreational parks near me, for instance.
About: I grew up in a home with two cats and two dogs and just adopted a sweet cat of my own! I’ve also lived for 2 years with a golden doodle (belonging to my roommate at the time) and my sister has two beautiful pit bulls and three cats that I love spending time with and taking care of. I have gone on runs with these dogs, watched them while their owners were away, and done my fair share of pet sitting for others as well. I have a high value of integrity and will be very responsible in taking care of your animals and your home. I truly delight in spending time with animals and have engaged with many different dogs and cats over the past ten years. I also work for a non-profit and have a somewhat flexible schedule.
About: I am an active 20 something animal loving gal. Throughout college, I dog walked and house sat very regularly. Now I take on more long term house sitting gigs, but I am open to new drop in/dog walking clients. I am comfortable and have experience with all indoor animals (big and small) and some outdoor critters (think chickens, goats, etc.). I have familiar and comfortable with the needs of puppies and older dogs, I have experience taking care of both. Currently, I work part time so I an free throughout the day to visit your furry friends while you’re at work. Additionally, I don’t have many responsibilities at home (no fur babies or kiddos), so I have a generally flexible schedule for housesitting. I am comfortable caring for animals with any kind of needs. I am adamant about clear communication with owners to understand how to best care of their fur babies and keep them safe. I reciprocate this communication when caring for your fur babies and try my best to stay in regular contact with owners.
“Thank you Kristina for caring for Ellie and Appa. You provided so many amazing photos and listened to my instructions! Ellie especially seemed to have a lot of fun going for walk! I will definitely be looking to have you watch them again, thank you!”
About: Hello, I’m Sarah! When anyone asks me what my passions are I always say animals. I absolutely love all animals and believe they are an integral part of our families. Our fur babies should have the highest level of care when we can’t be beside them, which is why I can’t wait to take care of your best friend! I have raised two dogs, a Lhasa Apso and a Cavapoo. I’d be delighted to be a part of your pet’s care! I work remotely, so I can stop by over lunchtime or after 5pm! I am flexible and can certainly work with you to meet your schedule as best I can! Highest ethical standards are in place. I believe every pet deserves the best care, so you can be assured I will give your pet the highest level love and care. I will always respect your property and follow any directions left for me.

James K.
“Aidan is so great with pets! I’ve seen him on multiple occasions with his dog Bailey and his cat Mugen. Not only is he a doting pet parent and super attentive to their needs but he’s also extremely skilled at training them. Bailey is crate trained by Aidan and extremely responsive to commands, super gentle with strangers, and very affectionate. Mugen also responds to noise commands! Both pets are well behaved, well adjusted, and spoiled by Aidan! He’s a perfect candidate to take care of any fur baby in need.”

“Janice took such great care of my dog Laila. She sent me lots of photos and updates and it was clear how happy Laila was there. I highly recommend Janice and will book with her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
Jaclyn P.
“When my toy Cavapoo, Dickens, and I first met Jaclyn Parker she was a receptionist at a hair salon. I was surprised and delighted to see that she also was willing to do pet sitting and dog walking. She soon left the salon and now does pet care full time. I was so happy to see that my dog was immediately attracted to Jaclyn. Her love of animals is apparent. At my age, it is hard for me to give my dog all the exercise that he needs—I walk with a cane. I hired Jaclyn to walk Dickens twice a week- and it has been an outstanding success. When Jaclyn comes, Dickens literally squeals with delight because he is so excited to see her. Since walking in the rain is not an option for Dickens, they sometimes play ball in my family room so Dickens can work off some of his excess energy. I also hired Jaclyn to dog sit for several days to live in my house with Dickens during the 2024 Christmas holiday so that I could have a visit with family. It was comforting to have someone who loves my dog as I do, stay in my house with him—someone I trust completely. I recommend Jaclyn whole heartedly She always comes when she is supposed to, texts me if she is running late and is totally reliable. She is a genuinely nice person and anyone who hires her is getting a gem.”

“Noelle has taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals for our family for several years now. She is very caring, responsible and compassionate. The animals love her! She has a unique way of communicating in a way that they really seem to listen to her! We strongly recommend Noelle for house sitting and taking care of animals of all shapes and ages!”
Leann S.
“Leann has cared for our cats multiple times and has done a phenomenal job! The cats don't ever seem to miss us while we are away when Leann is around. I am incredibly picky with my pet sitters, so when I say Leann is the real deal, she is!! She will give your furry friends MUCH love and attention! Thank you Leann!”
