“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”
“Alana was once again amazing with my pup! She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me in the loop during her time with Tyson. She also sent me pictures while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Neil did a great job taking care of my cat, who requires multiple medications a day, and handled the med schedule well! I came home to a happy, healthy cat and I really appreciate Neil’s help.”
“It being our first time using a sitter for our two catahoulas we were understandably nervous. Rachael made the whole process easy, stress-free and an overall great experience. The dogs had a great time and really got along well. Highly recommend!”
“Aaron was great and easy to connect with for a day of watching our big dog. Grateful he was open to a meet and greet first and updated throughout the time he was watching our boy 🐶”
“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”
“Andrew went above and beyond taking care of Wagner who was very sick a few days before we left . He gave him all his meds and had to deal with reintroducing his food . Kept us up to date twice a day at least . Thank you Andrew !!!!”
“We hired Natasha to watch our anxious little lady for a long weekend trip that we had to take less than one week after moving. Things felt chaotic and unsettled having to head out of the apartment with boxes everywhere, but despite that we knew Finny would be in safe, loving, and patient hands while we were away - and we were right! Natasha was wonderful - super communicative, understanding, and kind. She clearly gets dogs and feels at ease around them, respecting their preferences and behavior and giving them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with her. She’s wonderful and I’d highly recommend working with her!”
“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”
“This was our first time using Rover (or anyone but family to watch our dog) and it was for a last minute vacation. May fit in a meet and greet days before we were leaving and Boots took to her right away. While we were gone May kept us updated both via text and with adorable photos/videos of our pup, which put us at ease. She also took great care of our house.”
“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m lucky to have two sweet cats of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I recently moved to the Boston area from Minnesota to be closer to family, and while I’m currently searching for a full-time job, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. Love to give photo updates and do not mind cleaning up any messes your pets may make!! Currently look for a full time job after moving here on August 1st! That way I am able to wake up feed my animals, walk my dog, brush him, and play with him outside or inside. I am a big safety first person. I am a social worker so I am use to driving around a lot and going into different homes for people. I will make sure to clean up after myself or the pet and I always ensure to communicate anything that comes up with you!
“Susie was a phenomenal cat sitter - she was attentive to all of Mocha's needs and was playful and comforting to her throughout the visit. The frequent photos and updates were so appreciated. Mocha got along with her immediately and had a wonderful time while I was away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!”
“Highly recommend Matthew to sit your pets! He is a very communicative, reliable and caring sitter. He asked thoughtful questions and sent tons of pictures. He put my mind at ease while I was away from my pups 😊”
“Jasmina took great care of our pup at our house. She was communicative and left the house in great shape. We could tell she was very attentive with our dog and cared about her needs/ behavior.”
“Ryan was one of, if not the best, dog sitter we’ve ever had! He was responsive when I had a question or request, communicative with check-in dog pictures and updates, and extremely kind and caring towards us and our pups. One of our dogs, Comet, can be reactive, and not only was Ryan knowledgeable and aware with how to interact with our pup, he was patient and sweet towards him. We’ve felt anxious with previous dog sitters, but with Ryan, we truly had no worries, because we knew our dogs were in great hands. We are looking forward to having Ryan watch our dogs, Comet and Alfie, again in the near future!”

Nicole stayed with our pup Benson for the weekend and he absolutely loved her! She's amazing - a great communicator who sends lots of pics of their time together. He was so happy when we got home so that tells the story. Would book her every time I need a sitter/walk/check in.
We hired Natasha to watch our anxious little lady for a long weekend trip that we had to take less than one week after moving. Things felt chaotic and unsettled having to head out of the apartment with boxes everywhere, but despite that we knew Finny would be in safe, loving, and patient hands while we were away - and we were right! Natasha was wonderful - super communicative, understanding, and kind. She clearly gets dogs and feels at ease around them, respecting their preferences and behavior and giving them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with her. She’s wonderful and I’d highly recommend working with her!
We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!
I hired Ashtyn very last minute after another sitter kept cancelling her visit for me to show her the place. Thank god! Ashtyn was an easy fit for the week and a half homestay, and somehow, our one cat who always hides under the bed seemed to feel comfortable with Ashtyn right off. She sent lots of pictures of our cats cozying up to her, and they seemed content when we returned home. She obviously has a special touch with animals!
Ayat is a lovely and attentive sitter! She was super communicative with me the whole time, and did an excellent job taking care of my dog Loki. He clearly had so much fun whole I was gone! She was even willing to accommodate his silly little quirks like wanting to be picked up, even though he is 35lbs :) I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking with her again!
Shea was fantastic! I asked her to stay at my home to care for my cat, Zeema and pup, George. She came ahead of time to meet both of them. She is kind, caring and respectful and took excellent care of my pets and my home. She gave George nice long walks and sent pictures. I would definitely trust Shea in my home and to care for George and Zeema again!
Michael came and watched our year old puppy, Sadie, for a long weekend. It was very easy coordinating with Michael. She is an energetic pup! He did a great job caring for her. I would highly recommend Michael for future engagements - we will definitely reach out to him first next trip.
Catherine was amazing to work with - she is warm and friendly to both people and pets and communicated well. The house was just as we left it and the dog was clearly happy and well cared for upon our return. We would not hesitate to book with Catherine again, and would recommend her without reservation.
