“Christina did such a great job sitting for us in December! We have 2 senior dogs and 2 cats. Our dogs are both on various medications and have pretty specific care instructions. She was very attentive to detail and very communicative - which we really appreciate! Would definitely recommend her!”

“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”

“James made our first Rover experience sooo easy and comfortable! Great communication, very considerate and friendly. We knew our girls were in good hands! James sent lots of *really* cute photos of the girls and gave us updates and check ins! My very anxious dog was so relaxed and calm with James! I didn’t worry for a second! Came home to a nice, calm, clean house. Very grateful for our experience and couldn’t recommend James more!”

“Angela was a great houseguest and did an amazing job with our boy Oliver! She was kind and responsive and took care of all of Oliver's needs! Our place was clean and I can't say enough about what she did for us. She would be a great house and dog sitter for you if you ever need to go on a trip and need your pup looked after!”


“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”

“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”

“Avery was great and my dog seemed to take to her completely. She was very communicative and provided so many good pictures. I did not feel bad about leaving my dog knowing she was in good hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Margot! I’ve been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 9 years old. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including pets who need medication and extra care. I am dependable, flexible, and truly love animals. Taking care of pets has always been something I enjoy, and I’m always happy to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I work from home as an artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I love being able to spend time with animals throughout the week, whether that’s stopping by for visits, walks, feeding, or just keeping pets company. I also have a cat of my own who I love very much, so animal care has always been a natural part of my life. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!
“Cassidy was wonderful! She was patient and kind to my two pups who take a little longer to warm up to others. Her daily updates were perfect and she treated our pups like her own. Our home looked the same as we had left it as well!”

About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort, I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands with me. Currently working full time Monday through Friday. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, I’d just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Always free Saturday & Sundays. I make sure to ask numerous questions during meet & greets, that way I follow all care instructions exactly! I keep the environment clean, and make sure doors and windows are secured at all times. I also keep a close eye on every pet in case of any changes in behavior/health and provide regular updates with photos and videos
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog and cat for an overnight visit while we were away. She is very reliable- we can always trust her and feel at ease knowing our pets are in such good hands!”

Tavistock pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dawn took care of our 2 pups at our house while we were away for the weekend, and we felt confident leaving them in her care. She set up a meet & greet at our house the week before, kept us updated, and sent pictures of the pups throughout her stay. Great experience!

Christina was an ideal sitter from start to finish. We met in advance and she asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood my pets’ routines and needs. She was on time, stayed over with them, and took great care of both my cat and dog. I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos throughout her stay. It gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with her again!

I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!

Although we ultimately didn’t need Emilee to watch our dogs due to a last‑minute situation on our end, she was extremely responsive, professional, and understanding throughout the entire process. Her communication was clear and timely, and she was very accommodating despite the short notice. Based on our interaction, she seems reliable and genuinely caring, and we would absolutely consider reaching out to her again in the future.

Cassidy has been an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog Lulu and cat Monkey. Lulu is weary of strangers, but through Cassidy's presence, patience, and caring, she won Lulu over quickly. Cassidy also did a great job keeping to Monkey's medication regiment. Through the daily feedback, pictures, and videos, we got both piece of mind and the evolution of our pets' trust at the same time. We are forever thankful for Cassidy watching our pets and home, and look forward to working with her again.

Nikki was absolutely fantastic. We were so lucky to book her just days before a five-day trip out of town when our sitter bailed. Our animals liked her right away and she took amazing care of our home. She even cleaned and shoveled the snow while we were gone. Everything about our experience with her was above and beyond our expectations. Our pets are super picky (as are we, lol) and I had no reservations at all about leaving our two dogs and cat with Nikki. We will definitely book again!!

Sarah is great. I needed an in home sitter last minute and she was very accurate to that. My dog can be very anxious and shy around new people, but he warmed up to them very quickly during the meet and greet. Next time I need an in home pet sitter I will use Sarah again.

Lauren was very easy to work with from our first conversation. She took notes and followed our instructions well. Lauren also sent updates through out her stay with Marlee, which I appreciate so much! I am happy to say we have found a house sitter for Marlee going forward when we go away. Our home was respected and taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Lauren if you are looking for a pleasant, responsible person to care for your pets!
