House Sitting in Rockport

Lauren is terrific! She cared for or 13 year old Labradoodle, and she meticulously kept the house (even to my wife's exacting standards:-) We look forward to having her dog-sit and house-sit 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.

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!

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

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

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!

Fantastic communication and Matt went above and beyond our expectations to take great care of our dog and leave our home in excellent condition.
