“This was my first time using Rover and my first time using Ann for my two 7-year-old kitties. Ann did an exceptional job. She showed up when she was supposed to and was very thorough and timely with her communication from beginning to end. I will use Ann again for sure! Thanks, Ann!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always loved caring for animals. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently don’t have a pet of my own, but many of my family members do. Whenever they go on vacation or take a trip where they can’t bring their pets, I’m usually the first person they trust to take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, keeping pets company, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that pets are part of the family, so I treat every pet in my care with the same attention and care I would want someone to give my own. I'm currently working part-time si I have plenty of time to play with your pups in the afternoon during week days must specifically after 3:30 pm and all day during weekends. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I always follow the instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines their pet is used to. I’m respectful of every client’s home and make sure to keep things clean and organized. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as much as possible.
“Alison was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and kind. She sent lots of pictures of our pets. We felt relieved knowing our pets were in such capable hands. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Thank you for always taking such good care of Remi, I always know she’s in good hands with both of you and it’s so nice not to worry about her when I’m out of town.”
About: I love all animals and have ample experience taking care of several different kinds and ages. I have taken care of fosters. I have taken care of newborns. My dog had a litter 5 puppies and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I will treat your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and trustworthy. I love seeing animals happy. I will take the best care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. I will only be working part time at my current job after coming off of maternity leave. I live in a cozy condo in a woodsy area of Auburn. I do not have a backyard, but I have a great neighborhood for walking around. There are many other dogs in my neighborhood. I have plenty of space in my condo for the comfort of my cats and one additional pet to take care of. I have taken care of pets of all ages!
“Lingwen was super responsive and communicative, it was great that she was able to accommodate a last minute request. She also did a great job with the drop-in visit and took great care of our cat, I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets.

I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional experience working in veterinary care, as well as previous experience walking dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic adults to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I especially enjoy dog walking because I love getting outside, giving pets some enrichment and exercise, and seeing how happy they are afterward. Of course I’m here for the puppy kisses and cuddles too! My veterinary experience has given me experience with a variety of pets and their individual needs, including administering oral medications and topical medications. I also have personal experience caring for a deaf dog, so I understand the importance of adapting communication and care to each pet. I’m comfortable walking dogs up to 100 lbs and have some basic training knowledge that I can incorporate into everyday interactions. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. My goal is to provide dependable daytime walks and drop-in visits while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll treat your pets like individuals, respect their routines, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I’m an animal lover with professional veterinary experience and previous experience working as a dog walker. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m especially interested in daytime dog walks and drop-in visits on my available days. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because of my veterinary background, I’m familiar with paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing, and I take each pet’s individual needs seriously. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape risks, and I’ll make sure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit. I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications when needed. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, triggers, and anything else that will help me provide safe and comfortable care.
“Kayla was great for a drop in visit for my pups, and on fairly short notice. She’s quick to communicate with and my pups seem to love her. Got some great photos from the visit. Will definitely book her again!”
“Sara was wonderful! My dogs loved her and she even went out of her way to bring them carrots as treats (due to allergies). She came on time and sent me updates that put my mind at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to her again 💕🐾”
“Kayla did a fantastic job, she met Zesus before the scheduled sitting. Provided a few amazing pictures while I was away. And went above and being when something came up. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I'm a current medical student at UMass Chan looking for a little side gig while helping you leave your pets in safe, responsible, loving company! I have two dogs back home, Millie and Piper, both rescue dogs that have stolen my heart! Having always grown up with dogs (and a cat), I know how hard it can be to leave your pet home and in someone else's care. I'm here to be someone who you can feel comfortable with taking care of your pet! I'm currently in my fourth year of medical school, which means I have lots of free time in between virtual residency interviews! Hence, I am very available for any and all of your pet needs! I am very happy caring for your pet in their own home where they feel safe and comfortable. I love playing with pets, taking them for walks, and of course just giving them some good company!
“Christina did a phenomenal job taking care of our two cats. She kept us updated with photos & videos and got along great with them. She's very much a pet person and we're glad we found her. We've already booked her to catsit again and will look to book her whenever we need someone to look after our cats.”
About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.

Mary checked in on my cats while I was away on vacation. Mary is wonderful with even the shyest of cats! She sent pictures daily and sent updates about all of my pets, with info on meals and liter box use. Even my shyest cat Salem came down to see her! My mind was at ease while I was away knowing my pets are being well taken care of.
I can't recommend Jessie enough. We know our fuzzy little friends are always well cared for by her, and she has always gone above and beyond for us. I know before we book any trip or travel the first question is can we get the time off and the second is if Jessie is available. If not, we're changing dates!
Liz was excellent. I was Away for the holidays for 6 days. Liz always showed up and communicated clear and well while taking care of my two cats. She did an excellent job with the feedings and keeping the cats area/litter box spotless. I couldnt Have asked for a better cat sitter/ in home visits. She even did this during Christmas Eve and Christmas, I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended
