House Sitting in Rowley

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.

Superb sitter. Relaxed and connects well with Sweetie. Took her on long walks. We returned later by >20 minutes than expected, but Laura accepted this in stride. "No problem!" Brilliant!

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

Henry is wonderful. Very enthusiastic about my caring for my cats and all the wild creatures I feed. My cats can be shy but they both bonded well with him. I highly recommend Henry.

We had a wonderful experience with Carina as our dog sitter! This was the first time in years we were using a sitter instead of family, so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pups, but Carina took great care of our two goldendoodles at our house. She was a natural with our pups, and when we returned home, they were calm, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised. She made the entire experience seamless and easy. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! :)

Janine was very conscientious when taking care of my cat on overnights. She send multiple photos with comments which put me at ease. She followed my instructions very well. My house seems to be a bit cleaner than when I left it too.

We highly recommend Kaitlyn! She watched our two Aussies for 3 nights at our home. It was clear that they were well-loved & taken care of while we were gone. Kaitlyn is responsible, caring, and a great communicator. We’re so happy we found her!

Peach was wonderful. I think Walter likes her better than me! Peach made sure that Walter was more than taken care of. She treated him like she would treat her dogs. We could not have asked for better care.

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.

Elizabeth was amazing and took great care of Bear and the house while we were gone. She was prepared and comfortable to walk and care for him during her stay. She went above and beyond her abilities as a walker.
