“Vanessa is amazing! She took such great of our three pets. Our dog is incredibly nervous with strangers and he absolutely loves her. Will absolutely be booking with Vanessa again!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicative, and took great care of our three boys while we were away. She sent tons of photos and made sure to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. We would definitely recommend!!”
“Tiara and Carlos sat for my 2 dogs in my house and left the dogs happy and well cared for, and my house cleaner than they found it. We had a few hiccups in communication to start with, with Tiara arriving late for our first meeting, and not being at the house before I had to leave for the airport as we had planned. My vacation started off with me having undue anxiety because I didn't know when either she or Carlos would show up to my house and I had to leave to catch my flight without having the reassurance someone was there with the dogs. I adopted my youngest dog just 6 months ago and hadn't left her with anyone overnight and was very nervous to do so. The lack of consistent communication while I was away also left me feeling nervous and detracted from my vacation, as I kept wondering how they were doing. Tiara did take very good care of them; it's only the communication that we could improve. I really appreciated coming home to such a tidy house and happy and healthy pups!”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
About: I've had Cats all my life, and Dogs as long as I can remember! I worked my way up from Attendant to Supervisor at a local Veterinary Hospital I was at for 6 1/2 years. I had 15 Attendants working underneath me that I hired, scheduled and trained. I was in charge of Small and Large Breed boarding departments, Doggie Daycare, and cats as well. My duties consisted of Monitoring, Feeding, Medicating and exercising Boarding and Daycare Animals from Friendly to Aggressive and Puppies to Seniors. It’s a blessing to be able to give each pet (or household of pets) their own deserved care and undivided attention rather than having to split my time and energy between pets at a large facility. I consider myself lucky to be able to work for myself and make my own schedule. This allows me to care for pets and still spend time with my family. I have a friendly 6 year old mix spayed female at home that I trained myself. She loves playing ball and going for our daily walks. I have the desire and the time to take care of your four legged besties! I love to exercise and get outside so I have the energy to keep up with your pet and tire them out. =)
“Makayla did an awesome job jumping in last minute to sit our 2 dogs of which one was a rescue puppy we got only a week prior. We didn't have an opportunity to train the new puppy to stay home alone and she stayed with them the entire time until we came back home. We will definitely book Makayla again!”
“Jessica is a terrific sitter. We are very comfortable leaving our two rescues with her. Timba is in love with her and Sofia seems to be less anxious when in Jessica's company. We are so glad to have found Jessica.”
“Katie did an excellent job taking care of our dog for 9 nights while we were in Europe. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands, which allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. She provided regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Katie also stayed in our home, treated it with care, and left it clean and tidy.”
About: I started taking care of dogs when my friends/family asked if I could help out. This all started because I love dogs and cats. Since then, I've cared for all breeds, sizes and personalities; from energetic pups to sweet seniors. I'm comfortable working with high energy dogs and quiet older dogs. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I am extremely attentive to every dog's unique needs and your dog will be treated like family with me, if you give me the opportunity. My favorite part of pet sitting is getting to know each furry friend and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, since I work from home most of the time. This allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your dog throughout the day, including a walk every few hours and exercise tailored to your dog's energy level. Whether your pup loves long walks or quick play breaks, I make sure their needs are met with lots of love and care. I currently work part time and have the flexibility to walk and care for your dog/dogs all day/night. What sets me apart from other people, is I really enjoy the different personalities of every dog I meet. I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a fenced in yard that's perfect for daily fun. At home, I can provide a crate for pups who enjoy having their own cozy safe space. I maintain a calm low traffic home, so your pet gets a consistent, stress free environment. Whatever your dog does at your house, I can replicate at my house. I will follow your rules for your dog. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and loving space where every pup is treated like my own.
“TJ has been excellent with the dogs and was able to pick up a couple of extra shifts. He is very professional and polite and always with a smile. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is also very timely and respectful of my home.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always had cats, including experience with a disabled cat who needed extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I have also provided dog walking, feeding, and playtime for dogs of all sizes for family and friends. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their pets as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which means I’m home most weekdays and can keep a close eye on your pets throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, and other services on weekdays after work hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care so your pets are never left alone for long. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my friendly cat, so visiting pets will feel right at home. I always introduce dogs to my cat slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean and secure, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. With several parks and a beach nearby, I can give dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
About: I've had two dogs of my own - one blind, and the other deaf. I am happy to manage your pet's quirks while we're having a great time together, too. Every pet needs something different, so I'll pay close attention to the details of your instructions. I'm also very focused on safety: leashes and familiar walks are a must! I am a teacher, so during the school year, I am available after 4:00pm to check in on your pet so everyone is happy when you arrive home. Also, I am booking now for summer - I would love to share my time off with your pets! I am a teacher during the school year, so my summer is wide open. I do enjoy visiting a few clients each day - it adds some structure to my own life! At my place, I have an air-conditioned apartment and a small porch where your pet and I can relax. We can take walks in the neighborhood or along the rail trail, located right across the street. Leashes and tags are always a must! In your home, I'll be sensitive to your pet's routines and habits around the house. Likewise, I'll be careful about your privacy and the condition of your home. In either location, we can agree on a timetable so you can expect pictures and updates of your special pet.
“Laura was friendly, flexible with times and very warm with our dog. She played with our dog with dog puzzles on her own initiative and kept us posted with pictures and details throughout the evening. Laura has grown up around animals and is knowledgeable about them. I would certainly ask her to take care of our puppy again.”
“Jeanne was very communicative and knowledgeable about our cat’s medical needs. I trusted her wholeheartedly to stay with and take wonderful care of our senior cat.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule during my days. I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on busier days, I’m able to provide care before and after my errands and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. I am mostly always home working on my online class so there’s usually not a long duration of time I would be gone on errands. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.

“Emily was great, we will definitely use her again! She was extremely communicative and great about making plans. She sent us lots of great photos and updates throughout our trip and took great care of our pup and our home!”
“Sean was amazing! She sent pictures daily of the dogs and their activities. She followed the instructions left for her. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that my fur babies were being well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wenham
Jennifer was a stellar sitter. She asked great questions beforehand that demonstrate her caution and consideration. She sent awesome update photos and even found a new way to set up our boy’s favorite toy that he’s obsessed with. Our house was neat and orderly when we returned. We’ll definitely be seeking her help again in the future.
Sophia always takes such great care of my cat while I am traveling and sends me daily pictures. Sophia also feeds her, changes her water regularly and spends time playing and brushing her. But the best part is my cat has become more friendly and playful each time Sophia has stayed with her. This provides me with great comfort knowing I have a quality and trustworthy person caring for my cat and my home. I always return to a spotless home and a friendly face waiting my return. I will most certainly will hire Sophia to watch my cat again.
We had a fantastic experience with Leah! She stayed in our home to watch our pup, Candy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leah was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, providing frequent updates that gave us total peace of mind. Candy was well-cared for and clearly happy, and we returned home to find everything in perfect order. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats both your pet and your home with such care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!
Kathrine is such a professional, I knew from the moment she walked in that she was prepared to learn everything about my dog and home in order to best care for him. We were so pleased! She communicates frequently, sent happy pics of our pup, and took good care of our home while we were away. Would definitely use her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wenham walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wenham maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wenham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 .
