About: Dogs have been in my life since I was born! I have experience for caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds while volunteering at the animal shelter as well as pet sitting for various animals throughout my life and taking care of our golden retrievers at home! My experience allows me to understand communication signs from pets and adjust my approach to best fit your dog’s needs. Whether it’s extra comfort for an anxious pup, more play time needed for a rambunctious pup, or simply hanging out with a chill pup, I’m ready for everything! Although I currently work a 9-5, I am willing to take shifts both before (ending at 8:30am) and after my day job (starting at 5:30pm). Especially happy to spend time on the weekends caring for your puppy! Safety and communication are my main priorities when caring for dogs. I will have a watchful eye over your pup to ensure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to. From my time volunteering at the animal shelter, I developed proper leash skills and etiquette.
About: While I am new to these services professionally, I grew up with 4 small dogs (all at once!) and have lots of experience with senior and disabled dogs. Most comfortable with small to medium sized. Starting April 25th, I am completely free for services at almost any time of day! This is my free summer time as a student, but my schedule will change stating July when I begin work. I will update my calendar accordingly! I am always attentive to needs or concerns. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with plenty of parks and places for walking nearby. No crates, no other roommates but I stay home most of the day.
About: I had a French Bull dog for 15 years, (before they became the rage), We loved him and not a day goes by when the name Hank is not mentioned, or a family member takes a pic of a dog, or someone says remember when Hank did this or that. I'm retired, I live in the City of Boston and the apartment does not take dogs. I thought Rover would be an excellent way to be around dogs again. I'm retired, I live in the city of Boston, the apartment does not take dogs and I thought Rover would be an excellent way to stay busy, be around dogs, (which I love) and I'm not looking to make money on this, not at all. I had my own dog for 15 years, had the dog since it was a puppy and all the way through a sickness, and it was devastating.
About: I have experience with puppies and take care of my family dog, lingo, who is around 50 lbs! I am a graduating senior at Northeastern University and have plenty of time to help take care of your pet. I am a student, so my schedule is flexible. Feel free to let me know whenever you need me! We can always work something out. I love dogs and have one of my own. I am very respectful and will take care of your pup as well as your space if I'm ever in your home.
“Jessica is AMAZING! She took great care of my precious kitties and sent pictures so that I would not miss them as much. I am so grateful to be able to travel and not have to worry about my fur babies!”
“Jackie was amazing both with our dogs and our jerk of a cat. She spent time with them outside even while snowing and played with them inside to help them while we were away.”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone! She provided several pictures and detailed updates so I could stay informed of how everything was going each day. Would recommend her to others!”
“Super kind and responsive, very friendly with the animals and makes sure their needs are met. Would 100% recommend and use again. One of our cats was sick while we were away and sure was very helpful and flexible working with us to help him feel better.”
About: Hi, I’m Cody! I love caring for dogs and cats and would be happy to host your furry friend for boarding. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a weekend stay, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m in office 9-5 Monday through Thursday so your dog would be home with mine during the day with a walk pre and post work. I live in an apartment with a dog park nearby should I board your pet in my home, so I often take dogs there for fun if they’re social!
“I highly recommend Eva for pet sitting! We needed someone to look after our two cats while we were abroad, and from the moment I met Eva, I knew they would be in great hands. She was always prompt and clear in her communication, making the whole process smooth and easy. It was clear how much she cares for animals, and our cats were definitely well-loved and well-cared for. I would absolutely choose Eva again in the future!”
“Megan is amazing! She is communicative, flexible, and professional. She did an amazing job with my 11 week old puppy and she will continue to be my first call when I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my own home/in my life for as long as I can remember! From walking to feeding to bathing, I’ve done it all. I’m currently a graduate student at Tufts University so am usually free most days for walks and/or drop-in visits! My schedule is very flexible, so even if Rover states I’m unavailable please don’t hesitate to reach out :) I have a fur baby of my own and have had dogs in my life since I was a child. My pup and I love to go on walks and I’m in charge of bathing him once a month as well. He’s also a pug, so I’m no stranger to having to clean a pup’s face and ears daily.
Back Bay-Beacon Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was great and made us feel like our pet was well taken care of while we were away. She did an excellent job making sure our cat didn't want for anything during our absence and gave us peace of mind. Also sent lots of cute photos of them playing, which we appreciated.
Another win for Justin! He continues to go above and beyond with his care of my cats. I really appreciate his prompt communication and the abundance of photos per visit. It is clear he truly enjoys hanging out with those two and provides them with tons of attention and affection. He is my go-to sitter whenever available!
I am so so grateful for Alyssa! She was able to watch my two cats for what was a pretty last minute trip. She was super timely, always very responsive, and took a ton of pictures with each check in. My cats loved her and clearly felt very calm and cared for while i was gone. She also left great updates and i felt so reassured. Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!
Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and everything was perfect. We truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.
Liz is incredible and did an amazing job with our wiggly puppy! I loved that she had us do a meet and greet as well during which she took time to get to know Maisel and took notes on her care. Liz clearly takes this job seriously and cares deeply about the animals she is caring for.
The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)
