“Julia showed up twice a day, dealt well with slightly tricky feeding instructions, was communicative and sent lots of pictures of the cats, who looked very happy to have her around (the last of these being the best measure) ,”
About: As a passionate cat owner for over two decades and a frequent sitter for our daughter's dog I have lots of experience caring for and loving our furry companions. When we visit family and friends that have dogs, I'm the one sitting on the floor rubbing bellies while everyone else sits on the furniture. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and spending time caring for and bonding with them. After decades of a successful career in the software engineering field and a recent closure of my office, I'm embracing the unplanned change as a chance to get away from a desk. This leaves me with an open schedule and the flexibility to care for your 4 legged family members at any time you need. As the owner of 2 cats that have specific dietary and medicinal requirements, I understand that each client's pets can have unique needs that must be met. I will ensure that these needs are addressed accurately and consistently. I find great joy in bonding with animals and look forward to gaining their trust and companionship at the pace that they find comfortable. There is nothing more rewarding than an animal that is excited to see and spend time with you. My goal in turn is to ensure their owners trust me as well and can feel at ease while they are away from their precious family members.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sam and would highly recommend her. She was always punctual, reliable, and professional. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during each visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and never hesitated to reach out if she had a question or needed clarification. Most importantly, our two Chihuahuas absolutely loved her. They took to her instantly, which is not always the case with new people, and it was clear they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, she is an excellent choice. We would gladly work with her again.”
“Tereza is very responsive, clear with communication, reliable and my dog loves to see her! She does drop in visits for my dog a few days a week and always takes her for a walk around the neighborhood during the visits. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have loved animals since I was young. Over the past few years, I have walked/watched several dogs. I also have two cats at home that I regularly play with, groom, and feed. I am taking some classes online at the moment so I have flexibility with time. I am available almost every day in the afternoon and evening. I will be sure to always keep an eye on your pet. I am willing to support them or entertain them however I can! I am physically able to take your dog on walks for as long as required. I love to play with pets; they definitely won’t be bored!
“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.”
“Michela is the best! Lilly is getting to know her better and can enjoy and relax in her company, which says a lot when she is a bit anxious. I appreciate Michela's intuition on knowing just what Lilly needs in the moment. We are so lucky to have her near us. :-)”
“Liliana is an awesome sitter! She came through when I needed a last minute sitter to look after my three cats. She was extremely communicative while we were out and followed all instructions clearly which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call on Liliana when we need a sitter in the future.”
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Daniel was so accommodating with a late request for our senior dog. Our dog can be quite anxious, especially when we are out for a while. Daniel made sure he was well taken care of and our boy was calm and happy when we got home. I highly recommend Daniel to care for your pets!”
About: I'm an experienced house and pet sitter with 30+ 5-star completed sits along the East Coast through TrustedHousesitters and personal referrals. I'm now offering my services through Rover in the Portsmouth area and 25-mile radius. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, animals with anxiety or trauma histories, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. What you can expect: I learn each animal's routine rather than applying one approach to every pet. I send daily photo updates. I'm naturally tidy and leave homes clean and calm, and I'm glad to look after plants or a garden while I'm there. A few practical notes, so we can both tell early whether it's a good fit: 1. Meet & greet before every first booking. I require a video call or an in-person visit so we can both assess fit. You get to meet me and ask whatever you need to; I get to meet your pet and see the space. Until we've had that conversation, please treat my response as interest rather than a confirmed booking, and keep your other options open. I won't accept a booking before a meet and greet for house sitting. 2. Weekday availability. I see clients on video Monday through Friday, 10a–4p. I'm in the home the whole time, so your pets get frequent short breaks and company throughout the day, but I'm not available for walks or errands during those hours. I am able to support potty breaks during the 12:00-1:00pm hour. 3. Workspace. I need a desk or table at standard height with a supportive chair in a room with a door that closes, plus wifi that reliably holds a video call. I bring my own laptop, monitor, and stand, so I only need the surface and the space. 4. Pets I care for. Calm adult dogs and cats. I'm not currently accepting puppies under a year, and I'd want to talk first about dogs with a bite history, special medical needs, or significant reactivity. 5. Service area. Based in the Portsmouth/Eliot area; I generally take bookings within about 25 miles. 6. Notice. At least two days for new clients, and more when possible for longer stays. Tell me about your pet — their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safest. I'd love to hear it! I work from home with structured hours, which allows me to be available for walks, feeding, medication schedules, playtime, and companionship at certain times of the day, roughly every 3-4 hours. My approach is calm and intentional. I honor your pet’s established rhythm and do my best to create a grounded environment that feels like home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of safety, routine, and calm. I take time to learn your pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personality so I can offer care that feels familiar. In the home, I’m quiet, clean, and respectful of your space. I aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. I water plants, bring in mail, manage light tidying, and keep things running smoothly so you can return home with ease. I also provide thoughtful updates with photos and check-ins, so you feel connected while away.
About: I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I am responsible, dependable, and will treat every pet like my own! I also have experience with dog sitting and walking. I love being active and outside. I also am at school missing my puppies at home so I will give your all of the attention, this is just as much for me as it is for them! I am currently in classes so I am working around that but can be very flexible on weekends and Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after 10 am! I have a huge fenced in backyard where I love to throw the ball and play with my pups. I also walk them around my neighborhood when I feel they need a change of scenery and some new smells!
“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”
About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal. I grew up with family dogs my whole life. My dog, Ellie, is an amazing 13 year old lab-mix that we have had since she was 8 weeks old. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I am a stay at home mom with a lot of flexibility in my schedule. We are an active family that spend a lot of time outside and always have Ellie with us. I treat pets as another member of the family and ensure they are well cared for. I would love to help with all of your furry friends needs! I am currently a stay at home mom with lots of flexibility in my schedule. I would have the ability to care for your dog multiple times in a day if needed. I am happy to provide any care that your dog needs. I am unable to take dogs in to my home at this time but happy to pick your dog up for walks and adventures or care for them in your house.

Pet 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!
We had a wonderful experience with Sam and would highly recommend her. She was always punctual, reliable, and professional. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during each visit, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and never hesitated to reach out if she had a question or needed clarification. Most importantly, our two Chihuahuas absolutely loved her. They took to her instantly, which is not always the case with new people, and it was clear they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, she is an excellent choice. We would gladly work with her again.
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.
This was our first time using Rover and having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, and Andy made the whole experience so easy! One of our dogs can be a little tentative with new people, but he loved Andy immediately, which made us feel so comfortable. Andy took great care of both of them, and we’ll absolutely be using him again. Highly recommend!
Courtney was such a big help when we booked with her last minute for drop-ins all week with our two dogs. She made sure the visits were spaced out appropriately, gave the dogs plenty of time to get outside and carry on as normally as possible while we were gone! Will definitely be rebooking with Courtney in the future!
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!
I made a last minute booking request on a Saturday evening for an appointment on Sunday evening. Peter replied promptly and agreed to meet the next morning. Peter was on time and had a good rapport with my dog. We confirmed the appointment and on Sunday evening he sent us update detailjng how the visit went. We are very happy with their first Rover experience. Thank you, Peter.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
