“Aly was great with our bouncy, 10 month old puppy! We needed last-minute care, and she was able to help us out and quick to respond! She was very punctual and left a detailed message about how everything went. Would definitely recommend Aly for drop in visit and dog walking!”


“Carlea was great with my pets. I felt comfortable leaving my many animals while I was on vacation. I received quick responses when I texted for updates. 100% would recommend.”


“Ivi was wonderful! She had a natural ability to connect with my shy and timid pup and was willing to learn how to address her complex medical needs. I would be very comfortable leaving Josie in her care again.”


“Rayna has a wonderful disposition for working with animals! My shy cat didn’t even hide from her during our initial meet and greet. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. While I was away, Rayna showed up for her visits on time and sent me great communications. She even handled an unexpected incident for us with no issues. When I came home, my cats were happy and my place was very tidy. I definitely recommend Rayna and will be using her services again!”


“James is such an amazing cat sitter and cat whisperer! He enjoys hanging with each cat, brushing them, petting them and playing with them. He is reliable and consistent. It was a comfort being away, knowing our kitties were in such good hands.”


“Emily was great!! She went above and beyond, offering to make an extra visit for our reluctant girl Aurora when she wouldn’t come out of her crate! Spent time with cats as well and checked on them even though she was there mainly for the dog. Thank you!! Would definitely reach out again!”


About: From training feisty puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages. I am study pre-veterinary science at UMASS so I’m a pro at giving meds and want to work with dogs with any special needs. Potty training or need a few household chores done? I’ve got that covered too. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part time and looking to spend some of my spare time with animals. I have a flexible schedule so reach out so we can coordinate the best schedule that works for you! I can do it all! I am enthusiastic about working with all animals. Walking, feeding, training, medication, please let me know what your pet needs.

About: Hi there! My name is Imani and I have a deep sense of love for all animals, especially dogs and cats :) I’ve been working alongside my girlfriend the past three years with dog walking/house sitting and after gaining so much experience and knowledge I decided to start my own profile. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs which gives me the confidence to handle any pup that comes my way! I’m extremely reliable and meticulous when it comes to my work and caring for my clients pets. My main focus is always safety, fun, and providing owners a sense of comfort while their pet is in the hands of someone they can trust. You can count on me to deliver the best job possible every time and give your pets the love and kindness they deserve. I look forward to connecting and working with you and your pets in the future! I currently have open availability and tons of time to give your pet the care and attention they need. I’m very flexible and and can always provide more care incase if an emergency/late flight etc. When providing any kind of pet care in a clients home I always make sure to be respectful of the space and follow instructions attentively. Trust is fundamentally important to me and I promise to follow any guidelines/instructions for your pet you and leave your home cleaner than when I found it.

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: 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!

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.

Imani D.
“Hi! This is Imani’s girlfriend, my name is Hope! Three years ago I downloaded the Rover app and have made this my full time job ever since. Imani has been working and helping along side me, joining me for every house sitting job I’ve gotten. Through this experience he’s had the opportunity to get the inside scoop of the ins and outs of this business. He was also able to meet countless pet owners outside this app and work with them by proving them daily walks/overnight pet sitting. Not only does he have the knowledge to provide excellent care but he also has the biggest heart, diligent work ethic and keen attention to detail, making him the best pet caregiver one could ever ask for!”

“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!”


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.”


Anna D.
“Anna is an exceptional pet caregiver who is both responsible and deeply compassionate. She worked tirelessly at an overnight kennel, ensuring every pet received the attention, care, and comfort they needed. Her dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make her stand out. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, Anna goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe and loved. Her reliability and keen attention to detail make her a trusted choice for any pet owner. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I highly recommend Anna without hesitation!”


Jasmine D.

“Jasmine’s thoughtful care and attention towards our two cats is amazing. She sent detailed updates after every visit that put my anxious cat mom brain fully at ease! Jasmine went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they need. Your fur babies are in the BEST hands with Jasmine!”


Liz S.

“Liz has been the best sitter we've had, and we've tried a lot of sitters. She's very communicative, trustworthy, and great at following pet preferences and directions.”
