“Caitlin was an amazing dog and house sitter. She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout. My older dog struggles with new people, and Caitlin met her exactly where she was at - giving her space and helping her through the weekend. As an anxious dog mom, I felt completely at peace knowing Junie was in her care. I highly recommend booking Caitlin for your next trip!”


“Sylvia was energetic and eager to meet and learn about caring for Cj. She was very much communicative and definitely made sure to adhere to Cj's needs and give him all the attention she could give. I couldn't be any more happier coming home to my old man Cj. I would seek her out again for pet care. Thank you!”


“Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!”


“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She kept me very well informed about her stay, was quick to respond, and left the house perfectly clean! She even got my picky senior dog to take medication (which I struggle with). High recommend, will definitely reach out to her with any future needs.”


“Meg is the BEST!! She was so communicative, has so much knowledge about dogs and pets and brings such a kind gentle energy! We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet dog with her for a weekend and hope to work with her in the future! Thank you again Meg!”


“Meredith was great with Waffles while I was abroad. She checked in regularly with updates and sent pictures. She also left the house in great shape when she left! Highly recommend.”


About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens, I've gained hands-on experience in pet care from an early age. Whether it's the playful energy of dogs, the independent nature of cats, or the unique needs of chickens, I've learned how to provide attentive and compassionate care for each. With years of experience, I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and safety in keeping pets happy and healthy. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands with me. I am currently going to school and have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays 6am-10pm, Tuesday 6am-10pm, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 6am to over night. I am willing to stay at clients home to care for pets along with staying over night. During my availability I can let pets outside/hang out with them inside at any time, give needed medication, walk, and play.


“Susan is so personable and kind! She arrived early and stayed a few minutes later because our movie went a little over. We hadn’t been on a date night in months and she stayed with our doggy and boy did he love her. She sent text updates and even some fun selfies. We can’t wait to book her again! Thank you so much Susan!”


“Olivia was great with house sitting our dog. She kept him happy and safe, taking him on long walks and playing in the backyard. Took good care of the house and our pet tortise too! She provided good updates and gave us peace of mind. Certainly plan to rely on Olivia in future house sitting.”


About: I've been raised with dogs and cats since day one. They are part of my DNA. I'm kind and caring and will treat your pet like my own. I am pet free for the very first time. Your pet will be my total priority. Call me, Jean. I have great references. I'm trained in first aid I am retired from Alaska Airlines. I make several week long trips a year. Otherwise I am close at hand to meet your needs at your home or mine. My bungalow is fenced in and has good dog walking areas surrounding the property. I normally take my pets to the beach 2 blocks from my home. Walking intervals are every 3 hours unless more is needed.

“Geoff is a dog person through and through. This was my first time using rover and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. My dog Millie is very timid and he was so patient and attentive that it only took minutes for her to warm up. He took the time to learn the things she enjoys and made sure her stay was full of those things from walks to fetch to snuggles. I received multiple thorough updates and never once questioned that she was receiving the absolute best care. I will definitely be rebooking with Geoff in the near future!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around. I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I always treat each animal as if they were my own. My focus is on keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, and walks. Your pets will always get the attention, playtime, and care they need without feeling rushed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their regular routines in their own home environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, exercise, and medications, and I give plenty of attention, play, and affection to keep them happy while their family is away. I also prioritize safety by keeping doors locked, checking that gates are secure, and always supervising outdoor time on walks or in fenced areas. My goal is to give pets the same level of care and trust they’re used to, while giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are in responsible hands.

“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”


“I booked with Audrey for house sitting after she previously did some dog walking. Just like with dog walking, she was great with house sitting. She watched my dog for a few days and everything was great. She was so respectful of my home and did a great job caring for my dog.”


“Ryan was very responsive and amazing with my two dogs. He spent the day with my dogs in my home and provided regular updates, photos and videos throughout the day. He is kind and respectful. I highly recommend Ryan and plan to use him again.”


About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats for the past 10 years. I also trained my hyperactive and anxious German Shepard since she was a puppy so I have knowledge on training tactics, special circumstances, and puppies as well! I am applying to medical school and working a part time position and would love to visit your pet and give them the care they need! I would love to walk your pet anywhere in Boston or care for them in your home in the South Boston area. I love to go on walks, play in backyards, or just give some love through pets and cuddles! My work allows me to be available 2-3 days a week and during the day on some weekends based on my schedule! Variable but flexible! Also very open to recurring services. I care for your pet as my own but unfortunately my apartment is pet free so I can only pet sit in your home. My schedule typically includes a bathroom walk in the morning, a long walk, ample play time, and certainly a walk before bed.

“Olivia is an awesome dog owner and person who loves to take care of all animals. She has watched my dog on multiple occasions and has gone above and beyond making sure that my fur baby is taken care of and happy. He now wags his tail and is excited to see her whenever she comes over.
