“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”


“Gil had great communication throughout the stay. Drop off and pickup were very smooth. We consistently received photos and believe our dog had a wonderful time! Thank you!”


“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”


“Patrick was lovely and took such great care of my pup Anya. She had the best time with him, lots of walks and having fun exploring new trails. Patrick sent lots of photos, videos and plenty of updates so we were stress free during our trip knowing our pup was in good hands.”


“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”


“Megan was wonderful throughout the entire process. We got picture updates every day and he was absolutely loving all the walks and cuddles. Absolutely would recommend.”


“Sofia was fantastic—super accommodating and flexible, very communicative, and such a sweet and gentle caregiver for my kitty. I boarded Kiwi with her for a week on super short noticed, and she was willing to go above and beyond with pick up / drop off, daily medicine giving, and regular photo updates. I wish she lived in Boston year-round so that she could be my go-to sitter when I’m away for work trips! I’d 10/10 recommend Sofia to anyone looking for a Rover sitter!”


“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”


“We had a last minute cancellation from our regular sitter and Emily was very understanding and immediately responded. She was great with Penny was very happy at her home for just under a week. Emily is responsible and communicative including daily photographs and updates of Penny. Penny and Hazel (Emilys dog) got along great and loved playing together. I would highly recommend Emily and would definitely have Penny stay with her again.”


“Paula was excellent with Snickers! She took great care of him and provided thorough updates along with photos. I would love to have her sit Snickers again!”


“What an amazing experience. My first time using Rover and Haowen exceeded all expectations. Haowen's apartment was neat and clean, and has many pet friendly amenities at his complex. His communication is superb and responses are very prompt (usually within mere minutes). All throughout the stay, he kept me posted with lots of photos. My dog was definitely well taken care of. Will definitely book again.”


“Brianna did a great job caring for Rue! She was very commicative, attentive, and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely have her watch Rue again!”


“Laura was awesome! She regularly sent pictures and updates of Hazel. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her for a few days and would definitely recommend her!”


“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”


About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”


“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”


“Rachel and her husband where the best parents to my pup he was so happy! He had a playmate, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of love!!! He was happy to see me but hated saying goodbye. Wined a bit on the way home so I could tell he had a second family! I appreciate you all!”


“Banapsha took great care of my dog! She has some separation anxiety but Banapsha calmed her down within minutes of meeting her. The next update Banapsha sent was a photo of my happy smiling dog. I would book Banapsha again in an instant.”

“Cam has taken care of my German Shepard willow multiple times. It was clear he connected with my pup immediately when they first met. He meticulously asked about her care regimen, my preferences around how she gets handled, and left me feeling super confident. Cam was prompt, communicative, affectionate towards willow, and an all around good guy. Highly recommend and will be using again.”
