“Kimberly was wonderful and was able to help us out last minute! She clearly cares for animals and was attentive to what my cat needed! She also cleaned up broken glass that the cat knocked off the counter and brought in a package for us. Thank you Kimberly!”


“Samantha was very easy to communicate and coordinate with! She also had to contend with a bit of a mess when she dropped by to take Julius for a walk. She cleaned everything up and took very good care of Julius. Would highly recommend!”


“I'm very pleased with Tori. She cared for my two dogs for a couple of days. I found her to be very responsible, communicative on-time and loving towards my fir babies. My doggies were in good hands and I highly recommend her services.”


“Erika is unbelievably good! Our cats are quite shy, and we weren’t sure how they would get along with a cat sitter, but it turned out that they loved her very much. We were so happy to see that our cats looked great in the pictures she sent after every visit.”


About: I am very loving and patient to all types of animals. I worked on a ranch watching after horses during the summer for four years. I have been providing animal care since 2016. A couple of my most challenging and most awarding stays have been… A house hold of 6 medium to large breed dogs, one terminally ill, and a cat. A household of 2 dogs, 3 cats, a pig, a flock of chickens, 3 ducks, and 2 rabbits. Lots of chores and feeding schedules to keep track! I have maintained a 55gl freshwater fish tank containing 15-20 fish all required different feeding regiments. I have also cared for two ball pythons. I have cared for dogs breeds ranging from little dachshund and shitzus To pitbulls and great Danes. I enjoy teaching dogs basic tricks and obedience training. I love all animals but more importantly I respect them and will care for them as one of your children. I work 6 hour shifts. Either opening at 6am or closing until 5pm. So I’m not gone long and home every evening. I like to be around the house but also worked out 4/5 days a weeks so I can accommodate both low and high energy animals. I have experience with caring for a wide range of animals from horses to reptiles to poultry to skiddish or disabled dogs and exotic fish. I follow care instructions well and I am comfortable around animals please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I work 6 hour shifts. Either opening at 6am or closing until 5pm.

“Alex did a great job with my little boy Mojo while I was on vacation! She showed him lots of love & attention & went above & beyond in her care of him. She was always very punctual & stayed in contact with me about how he was doing. I would definitely use Alex’s services again & recommend her to anyone who wants their pet(s) well taken care of! - Kelly Frick 7/22”


About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a little girl—I had two dogs and one cat growing up, and they taught me how to love and respect pets deeply.

“Katie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog. From the moment we connected, her communication was outstanding—she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and happiness. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will 100% be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver!”


About: I’ve had one trustworthy client that I’ve known since 2014, I’ve pet sitted so well I graduated to babysitter! I have 4 kittys and 1 puppy that I care for daily with the help of my little brother who lives with me. My first born (fur baby) Nevada is my lifeline and I know if I left her in a strangers care I would want them to treat her like their own child, so i’m here to give the same pet service I would want to receive. I currently work a part time job as a behavioral tech as well as caring for a relative of my close friend in Groton, so tell me what you need from me and we can make this work! In my home I feed 2 kittys at a time so they all have the same amount then I’ll leave two bowls of water for when I go to work as well as a clean litter every 2-3 days. For my puppy I take him on two long walks in the morning and night then in the afternoon I take him to his favorite spot and go back inside. At a clients home I follow instructions given by the pet’s parents and make sure to play with the animals as much as I can to make sure we build a bond

“We are so so happy to have found Lani!!! She is great with our hyper/crazy large dog. She is always available the days we need her and Callie truly loves when she visits. We can’t be more happy, thanks Lani!!!!!”


About: I grew up with an Alaskan malamute, a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Bouvier, a Cairn terrier, and my neighbor’s two Newfoundlands (frequent visitors)! Currently, I own two cats, three guinea pigs, and a backyard full of songbirds! I also dog sit for my friend’s energetic Australian cattle dog and blue heeler, taking them on long walks! I have ample time from 8am until about 3pm every weekday. I have availability on weekends, both for occasional pet sitting as well as for (more frequent) dog walking and check ins with pets! At home, I sweep out the guinea pigs cages every day, and do a deep clean once a week. I feed them pellets, hay, carrots, and spinach and water them every day! We have a little play time too! My cats get dry food twice a day and wet food at dinner! I scoop out their litter boxes daily and clean out the litter boxes weekly. I sweep and mop the surrounding areas. They get spoiled to bits with attention and toys! The dogs I sometimes sit for get walked three times a day and fed twice a day, plus treats! I usually spend extra time playing around with them!

“Kaylynn was great with our 7 month old basset hound. She took her out and gave her some exercise each visit. Kaylynn also sent us pictures and updates on how each visit went! Highly recommended!”


“Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)”

“London is a dog lover and has been for many years. She is kind and considerate and takes pride in caring for her own dog as well as any others.
