House Sitting in Essex

Lauren was amazing! She was very responsive ahead of and during the pet sitting and took excellent care of our pets! I’ll definitely book her again (and already have)!

So friendly and sent lots of pictures! Nathaniel was super comfortable with him and it really eased my mind knowing he was with someone so great!

Sarah was lovely - both my dog and cat fell for her the moment she walked through the door for our Meet & Greet, and our cat even rolled all over her feet, which is incredibly rare! She took great care of both of them, was very communicative, and took great care of our home as well. We would absolutely book with Sarah again.

Jesse did a great job keeping our home clean, it was like no one was even here. He sent several photos of our dog daily and kept me updated. Thanks Jesse!

It was so great to have Sophia stay with my cats while on vacation! She was responsive, incredibly clean, and took great care of my boys. They looked happy in each photo she shared!

First time for Meredith overnight with my dogs and they were happy, thats the most important thing. House in same order as I left it, big bonus!! Happy dog mom! Charlene

Sarah was wonderful, would 100% book with her again!

Teri gave us much peace of mind while we traveled away from our older pets. They are not the easiest pets to manage but she figured them out with grace and flexibility. Teri has a very calming presence and I knew right away that she would be a thoughtful caretaker - this proved to be very true! Our dogs were in great spirits when we returned and we look forward to our next getaway with Teri looking after our precious pack.

Matt is so great. My dog, Gracie loved him so much. Definitely will have him watch her again.

Wiktoria and her husband stayed in our home with our dog, Millie, for seven nights. Overall, Millie was well cared for and happy. They were also very flexible in extending their stay when our travel was disrupted, which we truly appreciated. We did have a few areas that didn’t fully meet our expectations. Millie was only taken on two walks during their stay, despite our request for daily walks or outings (even short car rides). We understand February weather in Massachusetts can be challenging, especially with a snowstorm during their visit, but we were hoping for a bit more activity. On the first day, Millie was left alone for over nine hours without prior discussion. While she can handle being alone for up to eight hours, we had emphasized that she typically spends very little time alone, and we had chosen Wiktoria based on her open availability. Thankfully, once we raised this concern, it didn’t happen again. Communication was limited — we received only a few pictures and updates, usually after we reached out first. As new users of in-home dog sitting, we realize we might have needed to be clearer about wanting daily check-ins, but it was something we expected based on other reviews. During their stay, Wiktoria let us know about ants appearing in the guest room — unusual for our home and especially for February. We offered our usual treatment suggestions, and although we found a few crumbs on the rug upon returning home, the issue now seems resolved. Overall, while Millie was safe and content, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations given Wiktoria’s strong reviews. It was a helpful learning experience for us as first-time Rover users, and we appreciate the care she provided.

Liz did a great job taking care of my 7-year old dog. He’s a little finicky (or maybe it’s me!) and she stayed with him for a week and i enjoyed my vacation worry-free. Thanks, Liz!

Ida is a true dog lover and my elder dog was so lucky to have Ida stay with her. My dog loved Ida from the moment she met her at our meet & greet, I couldn’t recommend Ida more as a pet sitter!
