“Julia recently took care of our cat on very short notice during the Christmas break. Wow, were we lucky and impressed! She has a clear and deep love of animals that quickly put us at ease about trusting her with our beloved little guy. Couple this with an incredible responsiveness and flexibility (sorry for the last minute schedule changes, Julia!) and you've got an amazing Rover sitter! It was our first time leaving our cat, so we were a little anxious. My wife and I absolutely loved getting her detailed updates and numerous photos during her time looking after our cat and we feel really great knowing that Julia is nearby to help us out. Planning future trips will be a lot less stressful knowing that we can work with Julia to look after our cat. Thank you so much, Julia!”
“Excellent care as always. The kitties were content and well-taken-care-of. I was kept abreast of regular daily activities and any small irregularities. Would definitely recommend and definitely rebook.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She was reliable, caring, and attentive to our cat’s needs. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Marion really made our cat Sammy comfortable to be with her. She took very good care of him ensuring he was fed, clean water, treats and lots of love and attention. We would highly recommend Marion!”
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”
About: I was at a daycare place for 2 years then decided to start my career as a veterinary assistant! I’m happy to watch your furry family while you’re away 💕 I’m available all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, including overnight stays. During the week, I’m available for overnight stays as well as visits before and after work. If you’re located near my workplace, I can also stop by during my lunch break, with the possibility of making up to 3–5 visits per day if needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and create a schedule that best fits their needs. I have experience working with both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality. I’m especially patient with cats and take the time to let them become comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I also love being active with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention\. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well being of the pets in my care.
About: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.
“Cecilia was so caring about my cat, Lily. She had a great time! And her deep expertise was extremely helpful -- I learned about new toys, treats, and care for Lily. Thanks!”
About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping spiders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.
About: I have had cats my entire life, sometimes multiple cats at once. I bought my own cat when I was 10 and did the best I could to care for her. She lived to be over 20 years old. I have cat sat and dog sat for friends and family members. I have training in behavior therapy and understand the importance of positive praise as well as being consistent with demands. I currently work full time as a child and family therapist. However I work from home two days per week. I am also available most weekends when needed. I have grown up with cats my entire life and currently live with two labs and own a cat of my own. She has had some medical issues and it was very important for me to take care of her during this time. I have experience giving her medication of different forms and make sure her litter box is clean. She always has fresh water and many toys (mostly homemade because that’s her favorite) to play with. She also loves to play hide and seek.
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my cat during her drop-in visits! She provided timely updates and photos. When I informed Stephanie of my cat’s asthma and the emergency inhaler device he uses, she let me know she would research its instructions before her visits to be prepared. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie!😸”
About: I provide attentive, loving care to animals while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I understand how important it is to maintain routines and build trust with each animal, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I enjoy early and after work walks, scheduled feedings, and making time each day to give pets the attention they deserve. I am currently a bather and groomer at Petsmart. I care for pets in their home by feeding them at scheduled times, taking dogs on daily walks, cleaning litter boxes or cages, refreshing water bowls, giving medications as directed, and spending quality time playing, grooming, or just keeping them company to ease separation anxiety. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and taking care of them has always felt natural to me. Over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets/animals. This ranges from dogs to cats to smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters, horses, and even a few cows. Each one had their own little personality, and I took the time to get to know what made them feel safe and happy. Whether I’m feeding them, going for walks, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I really enjoy being someone animals can trust. Taking care of them never feels like a chore but it’s something I genuinely love. Even as a college student, I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my schedule. I plan my classes and study time so I always have enough space in my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else a pet might need. Having a routine actually helps keep me organized and caring for animals gives me a nice break from schoolwork and something positive to look forward to. I’m very mindful about time management, so I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. You and your animal can trust me because I truly care about creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and consistent. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort levels so they never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m responsible, reliable, and always put their well-being first. Whether that means sticking closely to your instructions, keeping a close eye on their safety, or simply giving them reassurance when they’re nervous. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
About: Hi, I’m Ally! Animals have always been at the heart of my life—my cat is my best friend, but I truly love and care for every creature I meet. I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, from cats and dogs to small animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My passion for animals led me to pursue formal training in their care. I began taking animal care classes in high school, earned my Associate’s degree in Animal Sciences from Jackson State Community College, and went on to graduate from The University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. I have hands-on experience from two years of volunteering at the Jackson Animal Care Center and have been working in veterinary clinics since 2022. I’m currently a certified veterinary technician at LoveWell Veterinary Services, where I work with a wide variety of animals every day. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and providing loving companionship to pets with all kinds of needs. At home, I share my life with a friendly cat and a yorkie who both enjoy meeting new animal friends. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to have more time for your pets! I am off every other Monday and only work half days on Tuesday and Thursday so even if it says I’m unavailable shoot me a message! As your pet sitter, I will care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll follow their routine closely, make sure they’re fed and exercised on schedule, and keep them happy with playtime and affection.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and rescued a cat while in college. I have also taken care of my friends/family’s pets when they are away. I work night shift and have a somewhat flexible work schedule that only takes up 3 nights per week. I’m willing to work with you to coordinate the care of your pet and can make schedule changes with enough advance. I can adjust easily to the routine typically done for the pet and will honor the wishes of the owner. I abide by leash laws and use an abundance of caution during interactions with other animals or people.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Stratham
James took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is shy and the other is very needy, and James was incredibly patient with both of them. He was also super communicative and sent regular updates throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind. It was a huge relief to know my cats were in such caring hands. We're so grateful and will definitely be booking James again!
This is the second time Erica cared for our two cats while we were on vacation. She is fabulous, dependable, kind and the cats love her. She gave our cat his medicine properly and did everything she said she would, arriving as expected each time. We trust Erica 100% and are thankful for her great care and trustworthiness!
Julia watched our two Maine Coon brothers Marco & Polo for an extended 4 day weekend away. I could tell right away from our meet & greet that our boys took to her immediately and would be excited and happy to see her during her drop-ins. Our boys are friendly already, but even the more aloof and cautions brother, who generally takes a little time to warm up to new faces, treated her as family from day one. She provided check-in and out notifications and detailed status reports - including lots of pictures - of each visit. These are exactly what a caring pet parent wants to see, not only to know your babies are in good hands, but to take the edge off of missing them while you're away :) One of our boys takes medications, and they both need fiber & water added to their diet, so the feeding routine is slightly more complicated than is typical, and Julia had all of their needs met. She responds to any questions/comments immediately. I can't recommend Julia enough for your own babies, and any time we need services in the future, Julia will absolutely be the one we trust to keep our boys happy and healthy.
Courtney was a wonderful sitter! I have an old cat who needs some special care, and Courtney was patient and attentive. She sent regular updates and I could tell from the pictures that my cat was happy to see her. Don't hesitate to book with Courtney if you are looking for a great sitter!
Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!
