“Jasmine was fantastic with Maple! She watched her at her apartment for a few days while I was busy with work. She gave great updates and Maple was always super happy to see her in the morning.”


“Jazmine had a great day with Oana and Oliver. I think I can speak for every pet parent that my girl is my bestfriend and I have always been really careful about who takes care of her. They take safety VERY seriously which was important to me, they give detailed and thoughtful updates of how her day was, and made me feel so comfortable leaving her in their care. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone and am so grateful to have found amazing sitters. Complete saviors and my dog LOVES them! Thank you both!”


“Yuna had such a wonderful time at daycare with August and Miu Miu! August was so communicative and kind and treated Yuna like a princess. Highly recommend this lovely family for any pet care needs!!”


“Jeongeun was absolutely fantastic! We were on a day trip to Boston for an appointment and we were visiting from out of State- we needed someone to take care of our puppy and Jeongeun did such a great job. She kept us posted and sent us photos and we are very happy with her services. 100% recommend!”


“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”


“Tara and Logan are amazing! My pup enjoys her time there so much. They run, go to the dog park. She always eats whine she’s there, which means she’s super comfortable. Highly recommend!”



About: Animal lover with over 7+ years of experience working with cats and dogs. As a mother of one (my dog), I take pet sitting very seriously. I have an eight year Shiba Inu whom I love with all of my heart. As a pet parent myself, I know the importance of hiring a professional and attentive pet sitter during important events, both planned and unplanned. I initially started Rover in undergrad hoping to fill my time but have continued using the app because of my love for animals! As a caring, attentive, and patient individual, I believe in providing the best care for your pets. My goal is to provide gentle care and give the best cuddles to your pet(s) while you’re away. I work mostly from home and can provide flexible care for your little one(s)! I am fully available on weekends and holidays if I am not already booked! Clients love that I send lots of pictures and videos every visit! At time time, I am unable to accept reoccurring services. I work mostly remote and usually start my day early. I aim to mimic your daily schedule so your little one doesn’t feel overwhelmed or anxious. I’m flexible and can go on walks many times a day! I stay pretty active and generally take my own dog out for 4/5 walks per day. I enjoy long walks and exploring new neighborhoods! I enjoy reading, learning new hobbies, and occasionally bake.

“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”


“Ben was super flexible with our schedule and very quick to respond / help us out. The whole family jumped in to keep our pup well engaged all day, and we sincerely appreciate their support. Will absolutely reach out again when in need!”

I can provide a darn good snuggle, long walkies and endless belly rubs I have a partially fenced in yard and in my home dogs are welcome on the couch and rug if that’s what they’re allowed to do! I always keep a clean house and would keep your home clean like my own. I’m excited to care for your dogs like their mine!

“Isabel did an excellent job caring for my pup. She took him on four walks throughout the day and played with him indoors as well. He looked very comfortable and at ease in the pictures and videos she shared, and he’s usually a fairly anxious dog when it comes to new people and places. I have no prior relationship with Isabel; nor did she ask me to review her. Just doing this to point out that she’s a great sitter, and you should hit book!”


About: I have had pets my entire life since I was a child and I absolutely adore them! I consider myself a highly sensitive person and that helps me stay attuned both to humans and pets! I have a flexible work from home job and because of that pet sitting fits smoothly with my daily and weekly routine. I can adjust as needed! I feed them on time, play with them during play hours and make sure that they feel safe and take care of. I would make sure to read the pet body language and make sure to give them enough space when they’re shy or not ready to interact!

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for 25 years, starting when I was just a kid! Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, administering medication, or giving baths, I treat every dog like part of my own family. Neighbors, friends, and clients have consistently trusted me to care for their pets with patience, reliability, and compassion. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs, and I’m comfortable handling multiple pets at once. I strive to ensure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I work from home full-time, so pets that stay with me get attention all day long everyday. My schedule is very flexible for visits and walks, and I'll always prioritize what's best for your pups. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. For house sitting, I respect and maintain your home as if it were my own—keeping your pet’s routine consistent and their environment familiar and stress-free. During boarding at my home, your pet will enjoy a calm, secure space with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a clean environment that feels like a second home. For walks, I use will always use provided equipment and follow instructions as outlined. I'll tailor the pace to your dog’s energy level and needs. I always keep communication open and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. I live just off the minuteman path, so even dogs that require longer walks, less stimulation, or whatever other needs your pup may have will be taken care of. They'll be with my two dogs, Odis and Harper who are both very playful and will have your pup quite tired by the time you get them back.

“Once more, Jerry had a BLAST with Andrew. Truly so grateful for Andrew. He’s beyond competent and kind. Our puppy left happy and we can tell that our puppy was loved while with Andrew. Highest rating!”


“The pups had a wonderful time. A lot of space to run around and play while also taking necessary breaks/naps throughout the day. It was a great experience. Definitely will schedule another day sitting with Michela.”


About: After booking my first dog sitting gig at 14, I've watched and walked all kinds of dogs. Since I grew up with big dogs, great Pyrenees, french mastiffs, I have always had a soft spot for the big guys. After my family got a small schnoodle, I love lap dogs as well. Most dogs I've watched/walked have been between 3-8 years old but I have no trouble adjusting to the excitement of a puppy or the leisure of an older dog. Since I have a lot of time on my hands, I am dedicated to taking care of your pet as if they were my own. I am currently taking online classes so my schedule is very flexible! I am available starting at 8am during weekdays and 10am on weekends. I can easily adjust my schedule to whatever your pup needs I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own. I have an enclosed balcony great for surpervised sun bathing. I have no yard but I love any exuse to go on a long walk or a dog park.
