“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!”


“Oana and Oliver are an amazing team and took awesome care of our Frenchie, Bode. Prior to his visit, they took the time to understand Bode's needs and schedule. At the end of each day, I receive wonderful pictures from the day. Bode had a great time and came home a happy, tired Frenchie. We would highly recommend Oana and Oliver! Bode is looking forward to his next stay!”


“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”


About: Master's degree in animal care and welfare. Former vet tech for dogs and cats at an E.R. I also have an Animal Science degree and have cared for horses and other animals. I work from home some days, part-time, and always have walk breaks. I go for long walks and will join with doggy playmates if your dog is able. Will also walk small dogs in carriages for fresh air. Have fenced in yard for small and medium size dogs. I have a fenced in yard and one Bichon rescue dog who is older, and friendly with other dogs. I was a former vet tech and have much cat and dog health care skills.

“Great sitter! Responsive and took good care of our Theo. We could tell he enjoyed his stay and slept well from the exercise!”


“Briana gave us lots of updates and communicated with us really well. She’s clearly experienced with dogs and my dog got along with her adorable Archie so well!”


“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!”


“Seneca and Brian were super friendly and flexible with our timeline. They took Wilbur on nice long walks and him and their dog Timba seemed to have a great time playing together.”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs as well as cats and many small animals (including rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) since I was 7 years old. I currently have a lovable longhaired 4 year old cat named Raven. I also regularly dog sit my brother’s two huge and hilarious 100lb smooth Collies and have dog sat and walked for friends and neighbors all around Boston. I also have shelter experience with dogs and cats from time spent volunteering in college. I am well experienced with senior animals, having two senior dogs myself that have now passed over the rainbow bridge (Sky and Eddie❤️) and can administer medications as well as accommodate their physical needs with bathroom schedules or accidents, mobility limitations, dietary restrictions, medication needs, and sight/hearing difficulties. I am also well familiar with how challenging and scary it can be to find someone to walk or care for a reactive dog. I am willing to work with dogs with bite histories or reactive behaviors as long as pet parents give thorough information about their doggy's triggers or special needs. I am great with avoiding other dogs during walks, modifying my own behavior to fit what your dog needs, and taking necessary precautions to protect your pup and others! I am a teacher and currently available most days. I am able to pet sit in my home if you pet is comfortable with cats. I am a teacher and currently have open availability. I am free to give visits or walks early morning through late nights. I have a car and am able to drive to locations where I am needed. I am very by the book and will follow any directions given for how you would like your pet fed, walked, played with, and interacted with. Please make sure any feeding, medical, or behavioral instructions are clear!

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.
