“Arshneel was awesome! She made my first experience with Rover comfortable and easy. She sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well. I will definitely be calling her again when I need the help.”

“Kora watched my dog for a week and a half and was very communicative and respectful of my home. I got lots of pictures and was not afraid to reach out to ask me questions if she was unsure about anything. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog, even with this being a longer stay.”

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”

About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Bethany took great care of my dogs and kept me up to date on what was going on with them. When one of my dogs got herself into some trouble, Bethany kept her cool and and had a sense of humor about it. Jasper and Zoe really seemed to like having her stay with them!”

“Masiel did amazing with Saint! She kept Saint entertained and kept me updated throughout my trip. She also cleaned up a bit before leaving which she did not have to at all. Overall, Masiel was great and I will book her for future dates. Thank you so much, Masiel💗”

“Miliana was a fantastic pet sitter for our Mala. She was instantly comfortable with our puppy and made a quick connection. She was excellent with communication through the night and with pictures. Hired her again on the spot!”


About: Based in Beacon Hill, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from cheeky puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up in a big dog loving family so I am comfortable with feeding routines, long walks, playtime, including running around with them to help burn off energy, and administering medication when needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while they are away from their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and personality, since every animal is different in their own unique and wonderful way. My priority is making sure your pet is happy so you can enjoy your time without worrying. I am patient, reliable, and happy to send updates and photos upon request. I am also flexible, able to visit multiple times a day, and can accommodate last-minute requests. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care. I am currently a senior in college and work in a hybrid role that only requires me to be in the office once a week for a couple hours. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. I am able to visit pets up to four times a day if needed, and my routine is not fixed, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Flexibility is one of my biggest strengths, and I take pride in being able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the space with care. Pets are always leashed during walks and only unleashed once the door is securely closed. If there are multiple pets, I separate them during mealtime when appropriate to avoid any tension. Before I leave, I double-check that doors are locked, lights and appliances are turned off, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Your pets' safety and your peace of mind are always my top priority. On hot days, I make sure they are always hydrated, and am careful of asphalt. Plus, if there are any individual safety requirements, I can happily abide.
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dogs and followed all instructions carefully. I was a little nervous since one of them is reactive, but she handled the situation really well. My apartment was left just as I left it, and I’d be happy to book with her again.”

“Sabrina does an absolutely excellent job!! She did a great job with my two, somewhat reactive, dogs. Since they are also high energy, she kept their brains entertained throughout the day with amazing enrichment games/treats. She is communicative and did a wonderful job sending pictures and updating me with how my pups are doing. I feel so at ease knowing Sabrina is watching my two.”

“Anastasia was amazing with our two dogs! She was very communicative, kept us updated on how they were doing, and took great care of our home. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”


“I am so glad that I gave Rover a try. It was so easy to use. Chandler was great and you can tell that she loves dogs. It was really nice to be able to spend the day out with my family and know that our dogs were safe and taken care of!”

“Megan was great with Ace! Sent us tons of updates and left our home spotless. Her communication made sure we weren’t worried about a thing while we were out of town. Highly recommend :)”

“Volkan was very positive and friendly. Effective and prompt communication. Got acclimated to my expectations quickly. He kept me updated throughout his time with my puppy on when he ate and pooped, which I really appreciated.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old. I am very active and would love to take your dog to the park to run off some energy. I will spoil your dog with a lots of pat pats and a pup cup (if allowed!). I am a medical student at Tufts University, but I am happy to care for your dog outside of working hours and also on weekends. I have taken care of dogs both big and small. I am willing to take your dog on walks around the city, occasionally drop by to check in on them, or provide them with some company while you’re out of the house—whatever works best for you!
“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

Spencer was a godsend! He house sat my anxious, reactive dog Java for 4 days while I was on vacation. He was punctual and incredibly flexible. He sent regular updates, followed my care instructions perfectly, was patient as my dog warmed up to him. I would call Spencer again for any future sitting needs!

Dylan was amazing and truly went above and beyond caring for my pug, Bella. Since Bella has been dealing with some separation anxiety, having Dylan stay at my home made all the difference. She sent frequent updates and photos, was an excellent communicator, and gave Bella so much care and attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I would absolutely book with Dylan again and highly recommend her!

Nicoletta was absolutely amazing with Frankie. She came the day before to meet him, which really helped with his stranger danger the day of and he was totally excited to see her. She sent tons of updates, which we love to get! It’s clear Frankie had an awesome day and was really well taken care of. We will 1000% have her back!!

Cynthia was wonderful, from our intro meeting to communicating while she was watching our pup and the care she gave him. Our dog is very anxious, most notably when we leave him, and Cynthia reassured us that he was in good hands, sent regular pictures and updates and all around, was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything else!

Sulekha was great! She watched my cat Peach while I was away and was very easy to communicate with. She took great care of Peach and sent me frequent photo updates!! Would trust her to take care of any pets and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!!

Arshneel is the best. She’s communicative, respectful and takes such good care of our dogs and our home. She sends regular updates with pictures and went above and beyond, even helping to water plants while we were out of town. We’d be more than happy to book her again and plan on it!
