Personalized care for your dog or cat - Retsil
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Retsil
“James is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. He is communicative throughout the whole process, he’s a true animal lover and he actively shows his love to your pet while under his care. I could tell by my pet Apollos behavior that he didn’t want to leave James when I picked him up. They went for hikes, walks and he got tons of snuggles and cuddles. James is not your typical dog sitter, he’s above average in every way and I wish I lived closer to him to use him every week!!!”
“Charis was so great ! Super flexible and put up w our older needy dog! 😂 her house is a great space. It was comforting to know Denali was being well taken care of!”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Lorelei is amazing! She makes sure that my dog eats (which has been a problem when he is away from home), he gets plenty of exercise and enjoys spending time with other dogs. Lorelei really takes the worry out of leaving our sweet boy. Highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“We absolutely love her and her family. I was so worried about leaving my puppy with her as a first time puppy mom but I had nothing to worry about at all. Will definitely be using her weekly.”
“Trenton was well prepared to watch my full-size German Shepherd puppy. Family took good care of my dog. Lots of walks every day. And great communication when an unexpected situation came up.”
“Celia has kept my dog Penny twice now and had been great both times. She's easy to communicate with and I can tell the amount of love that Penny receives from her and her family and her cute dog Milo. I highly recommend her!”
“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”

“Christie was a wonderful host to our 2 pugs. This was out first Rover experience and we could not have been happier. Christie sent us pictures and updates every day and even sent us home with portraits that will have us laughing and enjoying for years. We definitely plan to have Christie watch our babies again. They had so much fun and were very loved.”
“Hank had a wonderful time with Wynona and family! He was taken such good care of and went on lots of walks, socialized with people and pets and Wynona sent photos of my baby throughout his stay. It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“Elizabeth was very easy to coordinate with and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet for the weekend. We got several picture updates so we knew our dog was having a good time.”
“This was the first night away from home for my rescue pup who is extremely attached. Donna took some time prior to his stay to meet us both. I knew after our 1st meeting that My pup was going to be in great hands. Donna is knowledgeable, caring and a true professional. I highly recommend!!”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”

“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”
“We use rover A LOT and Ashley is one our favorite Rovers! Despite this being her first time, our cat seemed very happy when we came home, which is rare for him. And my plants looked great! We appreciated the detailed messages and photos and were impressed that she even took the time to look for hidden vomit from him! Thank you so much!!”
“Amanda was great with my two kitties. They are older and have quirks (random water glasses to fill, supplements to add to their food, etc) and she didnt bat an eye at any of it. I would definitely book her again!”
“I had Valerie do some drop-in visits for my cat Cadence while I away on my vacation. He seems fairly comfortable with her and I got status update pictures everyday. When I was back from my trip, Cadence didn't seem stressed out and he transitioned smoothly back to his regular routine. Would definitely recommend Valerie again in the future.”
“Wynona jumped in to help us out when our regular sitter was unavailable. She was wonderful!! She was prompt, communicative, and helped looked after our home while we were gone. She went out of her way to visit an additional day when I had a delivery too. Super sweet, and thoughtful. She even came by ahead of time to learn the nuances. Highly recommend!”
“Erica is great with our cats and chickens. Our crew has some medical issues, and she’s great at following their directions. Erica was also super flexible with our schedule change.”
“Karin is so wonderful with our elderly kitty! We can rest assured she is in good hands while we are away! Karin is great at communicating clearly and often. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Natascha took great care of our two Maine Coon cats, Remy & Ratchet! Her dedication is truly appreciated. The feeding routine was followed precisely, ensuring they ate well while we were away. The daily photo updates showing them lounging, eating & engaging with Natascha were wonderful and reassured us completely. The prompt communication made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Booking again would not be a hesitation and we highly recommend this sitter to anyone seeking a truly caring and professional cat sitter.”
“Always a great experience! Codi goes the extra mile to spend time with our cats when we’re out of town. I appreciate the update photos and know they are being well taken care of.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
“This is my second booking with Regan. Once for this come over/potty break/hangout; the other for a multi-overnight. My dogs absolutely LOVE when Regan comes over. Charlie loves everyone and likes to talk about it. Lucy is a very reserved but wants to check things out in case she need to hide. When Regan first met them, she came over to get the key. Lucy was like, "hey lady, 'sup?..", took 2 little ear scratches, and walked off (high praise from her). Charlie was like, "HELLO! You smell like friend." Given this response I knew these goobers would be in great hands. After both visits, when we came in, the girls were on the sofa like, "Dang... It's not Regan, just the parents," and promptly returned to sofa-mode. For our overnight, we returned to a nicely tidy house and happy dogs. (Not the case with other sitters.) We are excited to book with Regan again for our next overnight.”
“Khayl is one of a kind . Our little Kitty passed away right before our trip. She came over though to take care of our fish for us. I love that we got videos of them and she went out of her way to also help clean the fish tank. Truly amazing.”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
“Top notch! Kim came to the house twice a day for 5 days to take care of Meowstro. All his needs were professionally taken care of. Kim keep me informed of each visit and provided a cute picture. I travel several times a year and plan on using Kim to watch of Meowstro when I'm away.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Retsil
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”

“Reanna is wonderful! She has professional training and is very attentive and conscientious. Lots of nice pics, and even gave my baby a free brushing! Very nice lady and she took good care of my baby. She was exhausted from play and fun when I picked her up. I highly recommend her.”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“I’m so grateful that I found Cathleen! I was in a pinch and she saved the day! I can’t speak more highly of how much she helped and made puppy at home! Would definitely recommend and use again!!! If I could give 10 stars I would.”

“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“We love Lisa!! She was so nice to last minute offer to watch Sopa for the day while movers were at our house. She was so thoughtful to pick and drop her off at the house, which was above and beyond!! :) As soon as she got to the door to pick Sopa up, Sopa was so smiley and happy, and she was anxious to leave us to hang with her buddy Lisa! Another wonderful experience with Lisa :)”

About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Super friendly & attentive! Provided us with excellent updates of our Icky. It was very obvious how much they love and care for all the animals in their home. Thank you, Icky made good friends today!”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”

“Absolutely fabulous. She brought her dog Jimmy and planned to leave him in her car, while she walked my Leo, but I asked her to take Jimmy with Leo if she thought she could handle two big dogs at once. She did. She could. My Leo had a great time and made a new friend. Perfect! The pictures were so adorable.”

“Ashley was the first person from Rover we’ve ever used and and she was amazing and put me at ease! I would definitely have her come hang out with my pup anytime! Thanks Ashley!”
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
About: I've taken care of my dogs, stray dogs, others dogs since I was nine. I have experience with small and large dogs of all breeds. I have experience walking with multiple dogs at once. I can read a dogs body language very well. My dog had aggressive behavior toward other male dogs and I learned a lot from a dog trainer. I have experience giving fluids for Parvo that my dog got and then giving pure parvo shots to prevent her from getting it again.

I don't have any obligations that can't be changed with a days notice. I am known to drop everything for animals in need. I will take care of your pet as if it's my own because during my time pet sitting it is mine. Any medical needs, special care to attention will be followed perfectly. My time will be completely dedicated to your baby. I will also let you know of any concerns regarding your pet, and take plenty of photos so you don't miss out on the fun.
“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
