“Ali did a wonderful job looking after my cat. I was not able to meet her before I left for the weekend so I was a bit nervous about how it would go. Ali followed my detailed instructions perfectly and called me during her first visit as I requested. She left detailed visit reports and even cleaned up my cat’s food area, which I didn’t even ask for. She was also on time every visit. I recommend her as a pet sitter whole heartedly!”
“Took care of my two cats and did a great job! They warmed up to her very quickly even though they’re usually pretty skittish. I came home to find their dishes full and litter clean. She did a fantastic job of taking care of my babies”
“Matt stayed with our two cats and administered insulin to our oldest cat Mojo despite some challenges with Mojo being uncooperative. Matt was good at communicating any issues and seeking help. He cared for our house very well and left it clean and in good shape. I would recommend Matt.”
“Ash took excellent care of our cat, going above and beyond to spend time with him while we were out of town. Our house was spotless when we returned, and our cat was well cared for! We will definitely hire them again!”
“Grace was lovely to work with and she provided excellent care for our two cats! Regular communication and great pictures of our kitties each day. Would be happy to have her pet sit for us again.”
“James is such an amazing cat sitter and cat whisperer! He enjoys hanging with each cat, brushing them, petting them and playing with them. He is reliable and consistent. It was a comfort being away, knowing our kitties were in such good hands.”
“Lauren was amazing with my baby birds and cats!! I was so incredibly nervous to have someone watch over my baby parakeets while I was gone for a few days, and Lauren made me feel great about leaving them under her care. She did everything I asked of her, and sent me lovely photos and texts. Highly recommend Lauren for any pet care needs you may have--I'll definitely be hiring her again if I need another pet sitter!!”
“Catherine S loves animals and gave our kitties excellent care. We have already hired her for a second time. Very trustworthy and gave us excellent reports about each visit.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kristina! She did an amazing job with my kitten, who needed oral medications. She took lots of pics and always left a great update. Would definitely hire her again, I was very nervous about leaving her but she made me feel very secure!”
About: From training feisty puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages. I am study pre-veterinary science at UMASS so I’m a pro at giving meds and want to work with dogs with any special needs. Potty training or need a few household chores done? I’ve got that covered too. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part time and looking to spend some of my spare time with animals. I have a flexible schedule so reach out so we can coordinate the best schedule that works for you! I can do it all! I am enthusiastic about working with all animals. Walking, feeding, training, medication, please let me know what your pet needs.
About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn! I’m new to Rover, but not to pet care. I’ve always been an animal lover. I have taken care of family, friend’s, and coworker’s pets for over 15 years. I have been consistently pet sitting since 2020. This ranges from cats, kittens, senior dogs and puppies, to rabbits, guinea pigs, and tropical frogs. I make sure to keep your space clean; laundry, dishes, vacuum, take in the mail, take out the trash. I want your home to be a safe haven when you get back, with nothing to tend to when you return. I am a wonderful companion, and I make sure your pet is happy, clean, litter scooped, fed, walked, and they will get lots of love and playtime. I always respect their cues and boundaries for everyone’s comfort. Animals love me! Whether they enjoy playing ball or walks, or snuggles on the couch, I want to make sure your fur-babies are happy and cared for in your absence. There are references on my wix website which I’m happy to share upon request. I provide a free meet-and-greet before sitting dates; I want to meet you and your pet, and ensure they are comfortable with me ahead of my visit. I love check-ins for longer stays and will send photos if desired. My house sitting overnight services are in high-demand so please book ahead for best results. Let me know how I can help! I look forward to meeting you ☺️🐶🐾 My main focus is on building dog walking and pet care services, so I’m available for all your pet care needs! I am often in Amherst or Greenfield and don’t mind traveling. My house sitting is very in demand so please book early. I have more flexibility for daytime walks. Thank you! I will go over your regular routines for your furry family member, and chat about what keeping your pet safe looks like. I love a good harness for walks, and carefully supervised backyard playtime. Wood trails are great for walks and I always keep a close eye to make sure your pet is not getting into any mischief! I exercise the utmost caution when walking on the street, keeping alert for traffic or any other hazards. I carefully assess dogs we may meet on the street to ensure safety and distance if necessary, with skills I’ve learned working at a doggy daycare. I care for dogs in a reassuring, calm way, with lots of praise and patience. I have a good eye for ticks and I am always finding them, but your dog should be treated for this, too. Your best friend is in good hands with me!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal care and hands-on experience with a variety of animals. As a junior at UMass Amherst studying Biology Pre-Med and Animal Science Pre-Vet, I’ve worked with both household pets and larger farm animals, giving me a well-rounded understanding of their needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and caring for both young and senior pets who require extra attention. I’ve worked at PetSmart as a Pets Hotel Associate, where I have cared for over one thousand different dogs, and sixty cats. My academic knowledge and real-world experience allow me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet I watch. I am currently working part-time at a vaccination/neutering clinic, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I would love to work any day except Tuesday and Wednesday at any time! I care for your pets in your home by carefully following your instructions and paying close attention to their body language. Since animals can’t communicate with words, their movements and behavior are key to understanding their needs and comfort levels. I make sure to respect their boundaries and respond appropriately, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Jasmine is the best! She took care of our two cats for the weekend. She was super responsive, sent adorable pictures, and gave us detailed updates about each visit. One of our cats was being difficult and Jasmine did an amazing job trying all the strategies we could think of and communicating with us every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond!”
About: I have had dogs and cats as part of my family all my life. I have taken care of puppies and kittens to seniors and every step in between of my own and friends and family. My job is based on volume and is generally 6 to 8 hour day. I work 5 minutes from my house and at anytime if needed I would be able to run home for a potty or medication break My dogs are my world. I provide the up most safety standards for all of the furry paws that come into my life. I believe in treating everyone pets in a manner that I would expect mine to be. I have gone above and beyond to provide a secure fenced in yard. I also have a gate between the living area of my house and the front door to keep dogs from running out.

Jaclyn P.
“When my toy Cavapoo, Dickens, and I first met Jaclyn Parker she was a receptionist at a hair salon. I was surprised and delighted to see that she also was willing to do pet sitting and dog walking. She soon left the salon and now does pet care full time. I was so happy to see that my dog was immediately attracted to Jaclyn. Her love of animals is apparent. At my age, it is hard for me to give my dog all the exercise that he needs—I walk with a cane. I hired Jaclyn to walk Dickens twice a week- and it has been an outstanding success. When Jaclyn comes, Dickens literally squeals with delight because he is so excited to see her. Since walking in the rain is not an option for Dickens, they sometimes play ball in my family room so Dickens can work off some of his excess energy. I also hired Jaclyn to dog sit for several days to live in my house with Dickens during the 2024 Christmas holiday so that I could have a visit with family. It was comforting to have someone who loves my dog as I do, stay in my house with him—someone I trust completely. I recommend Jaclyn whole heartedly She always comes when she is supposed to, texts me if she is running late and is totally reliable. She is a genuinely nice person and anyone who hires her is getting a gem.”
Anna D.
“Anna is a fantastic person and passionate animal lover. It is clear that she has been around pets and animals all her life and finds great happiness from them. I would trust her with any pet that I ever own!”

Karl K.
“Karl has watched my dog, Willow, for over a year, and I can say with certainty that there is no one more perfect than him to be a dog sitter. He has a large, fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run around and play all day. When we're away, he sends us videos of her having the time of her life (she’s always a bit disappointed to come back home!). Taking care of these dogs is his passion, and it truly shows in how happy Willow is with him! I could not recommend him enough.”
Lukas R.
“Took such good care of my cat. Provided a lot of photos and wrote how he was doing each visit. If I ever need a sitter again will def rebook with him.”
