House Sitting in Waverly

“Jessica and Matthew were wonderful! My dog is an anxious boy who doesn’t warm up to people easily. They were patient and kind and as a result Astro adored them! They were extremely courteous house guests. We will definitely be using them in the future”

About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 28 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.

“Brittni is a n extremely responsible young lady. I have had her watch me dogs on numerous occasions many of them being over a week long. The care she gives is like no one else has done prior . Her love for dogs is fully demonstrated when she walks in my house and my dogs are running to greet her. She is a fantastic young g lady who is responsible and has compassion with animals which are what it takes to be an Exceptional sitter. I’d highly recommend Brittni.”

“Meaghan always goes above and beyond when watching my doggys. She always keeps me updated while i’m away. I come home to happy puppies every single time. They love spending their time with Meaghan”

“Thank you Rob! Our menagerie is happy and healthy, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip with (human) family knowing all was good at home. Looking forward to seeing you again!”

“Kiersten was wonderful with my 4 pets! She kept us updated with pictures through out the week. It’s our first time using Rover and are very pleased. We will definitely be using Kiersten again if she’s available! Thank you Kiersten!”

About: I offer complete pet-sitting services for a diverse range of animals, including dogs (experience with reactive dogs), chickens, guinea pigs, and other farm animals. I provide personalized care, ensuring each pet's specific needs are met, from tailored exercise and feeding routines to specialized attention for reactive dogs. My goal is to create a comfortable and secure environment where your animals thrive while you're away, giving you peace of mind. I work 3rd shift 11pm- 7:30am most nights. I can board animals in my home during these hours but they will be confined to crates or rooms inside. On my days off (2-3 per week) I can make more accommodations I can take care of your pets as directed by you, with several years of personal training, and experience handling nervous and reactive dogs. I have a spare room they can stay in that’s separate from other pets if need be.

“Kayla was excellent to work with. She took detailed notes of our dog's specific feeding schedule. She was also very flexible with our schedule changes. We look forward to working with her again!”

About: Hi my name is Steph and I love animals of all kinds! I currently have 4 cats of my own. I have plenty of experience with dogs, growing up with large breeds and pet sitting since I was 12 years old! I am a part time nursing student with open availability. I am patient, caring and would love to take care of your pets when they need it most! I work part time Mon-Fri, 4pm - 9pm. I am a part time nursing student with only 1 class day a week. So I am available for many hours during the day! In my home my 4 cats get nothing but love from my family and I. If you trust me to care for your pets I will treat them like nothing other than my own! 💗

“She was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my dogs being taken care of or coming home to a mess. My dogs were well loved and my house was the same as I left it! I was sent pictures and kept in communication with Kimberly! I'd highly recommend her!”

“Our two elderly labs Mocha and Latte loved her. They was happy with her and my husband and I was pleased with her. We will definitely will use her again. I guess we adopted her into our family.”

“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”

“Daisy was great! Arrived on time, kept in communication while we were gone, and followed all directions. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have loved and worked with animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had pets in my house until now and would love to be able to help someone out while also spending time with their best furry friend(s). I love walking and being outside just as much as I love animals so your pets will definitely get the exercise that they need while still being carefully cared for and loved of course. As far as experience goes, I have always had at least one dog and cat in my home for the full 22 Years I have been alive. I have volunteered and worked on farms and in other animal care facilities with various animals and pets. I have watched others pets in their homes as well as mine numerous times and am always looking for new opportunities to meet and get to know more pets. I am currently unemployed besides doing care for Rover so my schedule is pretty much open. I love animals and caring for them as well as making sure they're happy. I like to make sure the environment I'm in, is at the very least, comfortable for everyone. I am highly animal friendly and love all types of animals.

“Julia was great, reliable, punctual, and respectful. She did a great job managing our dog's medications and reporting back with frequent updates.”

“John is the most caring, loyal, friend and dog owner I know. He and his family recused both their dogs from down south. Those two dogs, Daisy and Dakota, are so happy and healthy and full of love. He also helps volunteer at an animal shelter in Salem, MA where he walks dogs and much more. I've never met anyone who loves and cares for animals as much as John does. He rocks.”

“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”

“We are extremely happy with the service provided by Jade. We have an older English Bulldog who we prefer to keep at home when we go away. Jade provided photos and updates, and it was very clear that our dog did well with her. She was happy and healthy when we returned home. I would highly recommend Jade, and we plan on using her again in the future.”

“Emily has been an amazing and trustworthy dog sitter and walker for our cockapoo, Bonjo, for the past few years. She is always sending my wife and I updates throughout our trips which really puts our hearts at ease. She is a super active individual so I know she provides the best walks and attention to our dog! Highly recommend!!”

“Nicole did a great job! Lots of communications and pictures. I will definitely book her again.”
