“Zilalai was amazing!!! My very shy cats warmed up to her upon meeting on our meet and greet. She’s prompt to respond & followed our notes to the T! Will definitely book her again in the future :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and have always loved watching and walking my friends’ and family’s pets. I have significant volunteer experience at animal shelters and with service dogs in training and have been a sitter for my friends’ pets for my entire adult life. Currently I’m most available on evenings and weekends, but I will have full time availability during July and August when I can be flexible to your and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for pets in others’ homes and ensure that instructions are all meticulously followed and to spend time meeting the needs of every animal I see.

“Alyssa is a dream catsitter and I will definitely book her again! She made sure that the cats were well-fed and clean, and she always played with them and gave them extra pets. Earl, Yo-Yo, and I all recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and understand their personalities, comfort needs, and unique habits. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. My interest in pursuing dog behavior work helps me be more attentive and in tune with each dog’s emotions. Whether your pup enjoys active outings or relaxed snuggles, I create a safe, happy, and reassuring experience tailored to them. I'm currently working part-time and maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I am happy to coordinate my schedule around your pup's routine in order to be dependable and reliable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, I work on ensuring pets receive attentive care while visiting their own home. I like to carefully follow routines and provide updates after each visit. I'm located in Allston, close to local parks giving me easy access to great walking routes suited to both high-energy and relaxed dogs.

“Cori was a delight to work with. She was communicative and I felt totally comfortable trusting her to take great care of my cat. So glad he had her to keep him company this week!”

About: I’ve been around pets since I was a little child. My parents first got me a hamster for my 10th birthday (Fluffy) and from there my family grew 10 fish and 2 dogs over my teenage years. Our current dog Molly is a 7 year old Golden Doodle who loves being spoiled and always requests cuddles no matter what you may be doing. I now have an orange cat of my own (Mr. Maple) who loves knocking things off my desk, sitting in the bathroom to protect me while I brush my teeth and birdwatching. I currently work from home and I love using my breaks to sit and play with the pets. Your pups/kitties will get plenty of attention with toys all around, cat trees and scratching posts galore and plenty of enrichment. I have a large pet friendly apartment and a cat that loves any other pet , big or small. I have experience with dogs and cats, including walks, potty breaks and playtime. I also love cuddling with any of the pets I care for!

About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.

About: I have two dogs back at home, a shih-tzu and a mixed rescue, and have experience looking after boarding dogs at Great Valley Pet Hotel and Wagsworth Manor in Malvern, PA. I work part time so I am free most mornings, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and weekends. I am happy to work with you to find the best times and ensure your pet receives the attention they deserve! Your companion will receive plenty of attention, love, and pets! I love playing with all types of dogs, and will of course take them on walks and potty breaks.

About: I have had dogs since I was young. I have experience ranging from small to large. I just adopted a lab mix and I honestly love walking dogs so much that I would love to walk yours as well. I would not walk the dogs at the same time unless we talk about it prior. I love dogs and walking and would love to help be a part of your pets life! I’m currently working part time and am available weekdays during the day for walks or at home visits! I currently work part time, normally in the mornings. I am available Monday-Wednesday, after 11 am and Thursday, Friday after 3 pm. Dog walking would help fill out my weekly schedule. Going slowly. I know dogs get scared when approached too fast. I would treat all dogs with patience, giving them the time to trust me. I would introduce treats and toys.

“Alina took care of my 8 month old large golden doodle. She is the most calm, reliable, responsible and responsive person. We were a little worried as we were leaving our puppy first time and were anxious to how will he respond to be home alone. She took extra care and did every possible thing to make us feel comfortable and him feel happy. She is extremely compassionate and loves animals. She takes here task very seriously and performs all tasks diligently. I will absolutely use her again in future. She is the best we could have. THANK YOU SO MUCH ALINA YOU WERE SUPERLATIVE!!”

About: A recent BU grad in Biomedical Engineering. I’m an experienced pet owner with my own orange cat at home, who struggles with asthma. I have owned a multitude of species and breeds and have experience with senior animals and their conditions. I have experience and am comfortable dosing and administering insulin to both dogs and cats, as well as caring for visually impaired animals. I am currently looking for part-time work, so I have and will continue to have lots of time to walk and play with your animals. My own animals function best on a routine, so I will be happy to try my hardest to stick to your own pets. I understand that pets are important members of the family, and I treat my own as such, and will treat yours as well. The most important thing is keeping everyone safe, which means careful consideration for how we interact, on their terms. I have experience with medical conditions and am comfortable administering any needed medications, as well as know warning signs that an animal may be stressed. As we know, Boston can be warm, supplying water for walks and outside time is a necessity.

About: Growing up my house was always full of animals. My dad, a lifelong animal lover, instilled and passed down his love for caring for animals and the joys that come with owning pets. At 15 after years of taking care of my other dog, our several cats, and my dads fish tanks too from time to time, my parents finally let me get "my own" puppy. Raising a dog from six weeks at such a young age did prove to be extremely challenging but it was also very rewarding. Now, years later as a student away from my home full of pets, I am missing all the joys of being a pet parent, and would love to care for your critters! During the summer my schedule is very free. I am open to taking care of your pets anywhere between a long weekend, or a three week trip. I care for pets with the same attention and respect I would give my own. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and preferences, keeping things clean and secure. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel happy and safe.

“As a first time user of Rover, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Annie exceeded my expectations in every way. She responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request, was really flexible with my schedule/needs, and did a great job taking care of my dog and keeping me informed. She was timely, thorough, and seemed to really enjoy her work! I would definitely hire her again.”
