House Sitting in Manchester-by-the-Sea

Sophia did a fantastic job again taking care of my Maine Coon, Katahdin. She provided me with daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated.

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!

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.

Vanessa was great, good commentator, and our place looked untouched upon our return. Our animals seemed very happy with her and were well taken care of. We’d definitely recommend her!

would rate higher if I could. She put my wife's mind at ease the entire time we were away. This was our first time leaving our animals alone for an extended period of time. She made us feel comfortable by being in communication throughout the day, and sending videos and pics. Would recommend and would rebook in the future!

Jennifer is my go to dog sitter! She is great!

Katie was wonderful in caring for my home and pets while I was away. She provided multiple check-ins with photos each day and was very easy to communicate with. I had such peace of mind knowing she was caring for my dog and two cats. I will not hesitate to request her services again in the future!

Lauren was amazing! Her stay lined up with the a heat wave and she did everything to make sure our pets stayed cool! She is super responsive and considerate and gave me complete confidence while we were away.

We had Shayla come stay in our home for a few hours and truly went above and beyond! She sent photos and gave updates, was super easy to get in touch with and just the sweetest to our babies. We loved her so much, we already have her booked for another long stay with our pups. We highly recommend booking with her!

Once again Meredith took excellent care of our two large dogs and our home, this time for ten days. She is incredibly dependable and her help makes going away so much less stressful. We recommend her highly.

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

Sharon immediately connected with Bailey. Bailey is very anxious and I was afraid she would not adjust well but she did. Sharon took great care of her, took her on long walks and made her feel loved. I highly recommend her services.

Laura was great. Made a big difference having her watch Bella at our hotel.
