1. Katherine C.

“Katherine was wonderful again, she did multiple walks and visits to the dog park. She was also so helpful and flexible with drop off and pick up. Rosy will for sure stay again with her - I strongly recommend Katherine.”


2. Sandra K.
“Sandra’s always wanted to become a veterinarian. If that isn’t already a testament to her love of animals, specifically dogs, I don’t know what is! She loses track of time when she comes across dogs and I know they make her happy just as much as she makes them feel so comforted, loved, and understood. Couldn’t recommend someone more!”


3. Patricio S.

“Absolutely fab with Bailey - she had a great time and he kept me updated throughout with pictures and messages. She seemed super content at his place and will be definitely going again in future :)”


4. Emma L.
“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”


5. Meghan S.

“Today was Max’s 2nd visit with Meghan. Thanks for watching over him, taking him to the dog park & sending pictures. We are so glad it’s working out.”


6. Jenni D.

“Jenni is a godsend!! I’m so grateful she’s available to dog sit Josie when I’m working. Her loving and caring attitude is amazing and I know my geriatric & anxious basset hound will be in good hands with Jenni!”


7. Emily T.

“Emily was great with Bailey! She was very flexible with our schedules and we felt very comfortable leaving Bailey under her care. Will definitely be bringing Bailey back”




8. Jim W.

“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”


9. Kristin P.

“Kristin was so accommodating when I reached out at 8pm the night before due to a late work schedule change. Nothing but good things to say, Kingsley has seemed so well taken care of and happy! Would not hesitate to recommend her in the area!”


10. Jordan T.

“Henry loves hanging with Jordan! She was great to help me out for a few hours when I had workers coming by my place.”


11. Gabriela C.
“Gabriela is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has four cats and four dogs back home, each of whom she cares for with deep dedication and affection, showing how qualified she is for the task. Her passion for animals even goes beyond her own pets—her friends often trust her to look after their pets while they travel, knowing she will provide the absolute best care for them. Gabriela’s kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect person to trust with your pet!”


12. Lucy P.

“Amazing dog sitter and super flexible!”


13. Bridget H.

“Bridget is an amazing sitter! We immediately rebooked her twice after our first experience. She took great care of our puppy and is both professional and communicative.”


14. Kathy X.
About: I love dogs and hanging out with dogs! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs, small dogs, large dogs, and dogs requiring medicine. I’m a young professional living in Boston working fully remotely. My work schedule is very flexible which allows me to provide as attentive of care as possible. I will always want to meet the dog first (if boarding/overnight) and ensure there is a strong, safe, and trusting bond, and will of course in my home make sure the dog’s needs are fulfilled and they are comfortable.


15. Albert S.
About: Hello! For as long as I can remember, I have been taking care of pets. I started my own pet care business in Chicago which I ran for 3 years from high school into college. Across that and the rest of my life, I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, frogs, snakes, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc. You name it, and I have probably cared for it! My number one priority when approaching my pet care is to make the animal feel loved, so that they return to the owner in a happy, stress free state. Not only will your pet be safe, but they will also be treated like my best friend! I moved into the North End this summer and work a hybrid schedule where I am part time and remote on Monday’s & Friday’s. I can accommodate to your convenience on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I have a big 3 bed room apartment on the border of the dog park in the North End. I prefer to get the dogs outside (on leash) for at least one hour of my care time, but will happily respect and accommodate any specific care needs/preferences/standards you have for your pet!


16. Subin L.

“Subin is hands down the best dog sitter Rover has to offer. The way she put our minds at ease sending constant updates & taking tons of pictures of our little Fronto was amazing . I look forward to making her Frontos permanent dog sitter”


17. Meaghan L.

“Meaghan is great! She is a very charming young woman who cares greatly about dogs and asks the right questions when meeting the pup! 10 out of 10 and would trust her with our pup again any time.”


18. Florence C.

“I can’t recommend Florence enough for all your dog needs!! My dog stayed at her apartment for the afternoon while I was on a whale watching tour and she sent me SO many pictures of his adventures. She fed him, cuddled with him, and even took him to Boston Commons to play. When I picked him up, I could tell my dog was so at ease with her and she even let him keep a ball he played with. If you need someone to watch your dog while you’re in downtown Boston, go with Florence!!”


19. Maarten G.

“Maarten took great care of Zucchini for the day. Maarten was super friendly, and communicative. He played fetch with her which is her favorite thing in the entire world. He logged her walks which was a nice little perk and provided us photos during her stay. Zucchini was smiling ear to ear. :) Thank you !!”


20. Catherine B.

“Could Willow have had more fun with Cat & George?! She got the 5⭐️ treatment AND made a new friend(s). Cat was so responsive and so kind to Willow (and me) and made me feel so comfortable leaving Wil for the day. Clearly Willow had a blast. Thank you Cat & George!”
