“Maxie just had his first walk with Natalia, and I can tell that he is happy and comfortable with her. Natalia comes across as an empathetic and kind person from a caring family that loves all animals and worked patiently with rescues. She listened to me with genuine interest as I spoke about Maxie and his background, habits and requirements. I feel completely comfortable leaving my beloved boy in her hands, and look forward to many more weeks together in the future!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Maia. She walks my dog Lexi every day. Lexi ADORES her and she sends tons of pics and gives me detailed info about the walk. Lexi couldn’t be in better hands.”
“I cannot speak more highly of Eleanor! She took such good care of my pups, is an incredible communicator, and responded so well when one of my dogs had an emergency. I would leave my dogs in her care any day!”
“Kean has been absolutely wonderful! He truly goes the extra mile in all aspects! Whether it’s looking up key words because my dog is trained in German, spending extra time with him outside, or making sure he warms up to him, Kean truly does it all. He is hands down the best walker I’ve found, and am so appreciative of all he does! You can’t go wrong choosing Kean!”
About: Because I get out of work early, it’s the perfect opportunity to take care of your pets during the day! I’m an animal lover who also loves to travel and any interactions I have with four legged (or three legged!) friends instantly lift me up. I’ll treat them like my own pets that are back in my hometown. I get out of work early- around 3. This makes it easy to fit in a quick walk or check in before most people come home from work! I have a relatively flexible schedule which allows me to take care of your pets. I love to spend time with pets- whether that be snuggles, walks, or play time! I don’t have pets at home, but I am happy to take care of yours in your home!
About: Remote worker | flexible time | well experienced I have 12 years experiences in take care of different dogs, including puppies and senior dogs. I have a small well trained goldendoodle at home that will keep your baby occupied! I can also work with your pup to do training. I work remotely and I will be there to give your pup the love and attention they needs. My time is more flexible and I can do walks or exercise for them based on your instructions. Your pup would be getting the love from our family and it is also a very safe community with multiple dog parks for them to run and play!
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was very young, as all my cousins and grandparents have had multiple dogs. My family has always asked me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs whenever they needed a sitter and I was always happy to spend time with their dogs. I have a very flexible student schedule that allows me to adapt to various pet care needs. My educational program is virtual, which allows me to take classes anywhere and not need to be in person on campus. I am very cognizant about creating a safe and welcoming space for pets. As a pet owner with a cat that loves to chew anything, I always work to ensure that the environment is clean and free from any potential hazards or harmful items to pets.
About: Have grown up around dogs all my life. Experience with pets big and small, active and energetic, as well as lazy and lovable. Patient and knowledgeable dog owner that has trained multiple dogs. Recently finished the bar exam. Hoping to make use of time until starting work to get to know your furry friends. I am available during weekdays and business hours to take your dog on a walk, let them out, or feed them while you're busy during the day. Or just take them on a nice walk and provide some more exercise and enrichment. Have lived in the city for 10 years, experience walking dogs in urban environment. Happy to take your dog to any parks or outdoor spaces nearby.
About: Behavior-savvy, love-driven care with a heart for every pup. As a pediatric psychologist, I provide clinical care for children with emotional and behavioral needs, and I’ve seen just how powerful patience, trust, and compassion can be. Those same skills help me build meaningful connections with dogs, whether they are full of energy, feeling anxious, or just need a bit of extra love. I create a calm, comforting space where every dog can feel safe and understood. From zoomy puppies to sweet senior companions, I’m here to care for the whole dog, in both mind and body! I am currently working remotely (recently graduated my doctorate) and have a very flexible schedule all week! Therefore, my weekly routine can be adjusted as necessary. I'm more than willing to fit my schedule to your needs. I have a very dog friendly spacious apartment. I have a dog park that is attached to my apartment and various parks around that I take advantage of for my own pup. She is one of the most well trained, socialized, and friendly dog. She is 5 years old and was potty trained in the first three days (she was 11 weeks old when I adopted her). I am very lucky to have her and excited to introduce new friends to her if you'd like!
“Haowen has been a communicative and reliable dog walker for my pup Henry! Henry is usually slow to warm up to men, but was so happy when they met! Haowen has gone the extra mile to refill Henry’s water when dropping him off.”
“Cori was great with my 80lb pup for walks! She was flexible in scheduling, sent me lots of pictures so I knew she was being well taken care of, and was available for a quick meet and greet a few days before walking her. She is responsible and sweet. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service provided by Dante. Always punctual and responsible. Dante has cared for our puppy with love and dedication. It gives it was a relief to know that he was in the hands of someone trustworthy. Thank you very much for taking care of him. I recommend Dante without hesitation.”
“Juliana was great with my dogs! She was flexible and responsive, and was happy to accommodate a senior dog by carrying him up and down the stairs and walking him in the stroller while walking my other dog. Good communication and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: Although most of my personal pet caretaking experience has been with cats, I eventually became the proud dog mom to a pretty little Pekingese. Her name is Judy. She's 3 years old, high maintenance, she's been a picky eater, and a fearless gremlin for walks no matter the weather! I've made her homemade food, I give her biweekly baths and I especially enjoy primping and grooming her! Needless to say, I can take on detailed specific tasks when it comes to taking care of animals. Since caring for my dog is my favorite hobby, I thought, why not make a little extra money helping other people take care of their pets? Realistically, I don't know how much boarding I'd be able to do. It'd have to be a case by case basis. Pets that were to stay at my house would have to get along with my dog. However, I will gladly do check ins, walks, and any other care your pet needed. I've had two cats that passed from old age. They each needed medication administered to them (ie insulin shots, iv fluids, pills) so I do have experience with elderly pets needs. With that said, I love dogs, but I do very much enjoy the company of cats and since I have yet to get another cat for myself, I thought cat sitting could also be a nice way to bridge that gap. I work part-time from home, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule right now. I own a car and could possibly be open to last minute bookings. I keep my place very clean with a handheld steam cleaner so my little one isn't mopping up cleaners with her little body! I live across the street from a beautiful park that has both a large and small dog park within it. If it's raining and your dog's paws get muddy, I will wipe them off, just as I do with my own dog. Litterboxes were always scooped daily. I take the trash out and sanitize as needed and according to your instruction.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats! I grew up in a home full of furry friends—my family currently has three dogs and a cat. I’ve also had pets of my own since adulthood, including both a dog and a cat. Now, I share my home with Miu Miu, my sweet 1-year-old mini golden doodle who’s incredibly friendly and loves making new friends. Your pup will feel like part of the family here—lots of love, snuggles, and tail wags guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of our daily life! We have a 1-year-old mini golden doodle who gets four walks a day, tons of playtime, and all the love she could ask for. My partner works from home and has a flexible schedule, so someone is always around to provide attention, care, and supervision. We also love taking our dog to nearby parks to run around, explore, and burn off energy—it’s a big part of our routine. Your pup will enjoy a mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection, just like one of our own! We provide a safe, loving, and clean environment in our pet-friendly 1-bedroom apartment, where your pup will feel right at home. Our gentle doodle Miu Miu loves having doggy friends over! We follow your pet’s routine closely—whether in our home or yours—and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. With flexible schedules and a calm, respectful approach, your pet will be in caring hands every step of the way.

Gabrielle W.Star Sitter
“As Gabby's colleague and friend, I have repeatedly witnessed first-hand her high level of dedication and discipline in everything she does. Gabby is an experienced animal lover with five pets of her own. Gabby could not be more attentive to my own cat too, who is brachycephalic and struggles with breathing. When Gabby plays with her, she gives her breaks before her breathing has a chance to catch up with her. This shows how conscientious Gabby is. I also appreciate how Gabby respects other animals' boundaries by letting them come to her when they're ready. This is usually not long after they've first met!”
Tae H.Star Sitter
“Tae is amazing with dogs, always so caring and gives them a lot of hugs, cuddles and kisses! Always love to take them out for a long run and play with them all the time at home and outside!”

Peter M.
“Peter has loved my Lucy, a 3 year old Havanese, like she was his own! Lucy has stayed with Peter multiple times for boarding and always comes home happy and tired. I can always count on Peter to follow her feeding schedule, give her meds if needed, and take her for walks that tire her out and quick potty breaks as needed. She gets all the attention she needs and I can enjoy time away knowing she’s with someone I trust. If you need someone to look after your furry family member while you’re away or trust that your dog is getting the walk they need, Peter is a reliable and trusted sitter/walker! Highly recommend to everyone!”
Jinu K.
“Jinu is an incredible pet owner and carer! He gives tons of love and attention to any pup or cat around, and is adaptable to different animals' needs. For high energy dogs, he is always game for a fetch, tug of war, or a jog in the park. The more relaxed pets get snuggles and calmer affection. Jinu is constantly aware of a pets' needs, regardless of what they may be. Our friends regularly turn to Jinu to watch their pets, which is such a testament to his trustworthiness and level of care!”

Lani always checks in and sends picture of how the cats are doing. She does a great job and I always have peace of mind that my cats are taken care of. I will definitely book again!”
August L.
“August took amazing care of my two cats while I was away! They went above and beyond by not only feeding them and refreshing their water, but also cleaning up the litter area without being asked. I especially appreciated the extra time and care August spent bonding with my shyer cat, Pancake, who usually hides from new people. It gave me so much peace of mind to know both of my cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
Eveline L.
“Eveline was prompt and amazing. Asked lots of questions, and was very keen to learn about our dogs needs. We will book for future deals and trips.”
Allston-Brighton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erin is fantastic! She is so experienced with animals and is so kind to my dog. I also really appreciated her flexibility when I got sick and had to cancel a walk last minute. I'm very thankful that she takes such good care of my lil guy, taking him all over the neighborhood, the dog park, playing with him inside when it was too hot for a long walk... Erin is wonderful, and I will definitely rebook with her in the future!
To say that amanda is the best is an understatement. She has taken the best care of our girl over the last 7 months while we’ve lived in Boston. She is very communicative and caring. You can tell she truly loves and cares for your pet. We know our Riley girl is going to miss her, and so are we.
I absolutely love Jordan! She’s been walking Maple for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier. She truly goes above and beyond. Maple adores her and even pulls her toward the dog park, which Jordan happily accommodates multiple times. Her care and dedication mean the world to us.
Ajay was a great choice. Our dogs are rescues with abandonment issues and anxiety, which lead to difficult behaviour. Ajay made himself available for a meet and greet and was able to handle them very well. The dogs were very comfortable with him and we had the peace of mind we looked for. Thank you!
Nick was very communicative, professional, and timely. He took great care of our 4 year old German shepherd and kindly arranged for a meet and greet per my request to go over instructions beforehand. I will definitely be asking for assist with more dog walking from Nick in the future!
Lovely person! Leigh is great with our reactive German Shepard. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness are exceptional - she was able to discern specific needs that may help him regulate on walks during our first meeting with her. Highly recommend her for all your dog care needs.
